“Always label your axes!” ...i can still hear my Swiss born professor shout at me while repeatedly stabbing my purty charts and graphs with his finger. (“well the abscissa is clearly time and the ordinate is some sort of ‘up-ish’ except for the deer-scare”)

Oh for that eventual headline now: “If not for Russian Election Hacking Clinton would be President!” subhead: “Trump Presidency Illegitimate!”. But that would require a journalistic commitment to probable truth that only the National Enquirer can sustain — and it’s in the tank for trump. (“Bat Boy is actually Nate…

“Now CNN Can Read Its Reporters’ DMs”  ok... let’see from the internet’s favorite abbrev. site in order from the top:

Zoning laws can be overly zealous (e.g... some bits of Seattle) or they can be terribly underutilized (pretty much all of Texas). Critical good governance would discover the sweet spot - as the counter-example to these sorts of dire situations.

If Grandma Has a Pacemaker, Please Take Her in For a Firmware Update

privacy with a “6th generation Intel i5 processor” ...pfft, my tin-foil-hat sez it plays you false! witness the remote management backdoor (and don’t get me started on the compromised SSL NSA stack)

sheesh Canon... at least add a telephone feature to it.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Man you’re old Mr Jones, using “sick” in the headline for something that currently impressive is entirely antediluvian, at least try for something more akin to ‘lit’ or ‘fire’ (with ‘totally’ added liberally). (“do you think he knows to avoid fleek, you should’ve convince him to use it as an adjective for woke”)

Whole Foods was always anti-union, (yes yes.. we all know that anyone younger than 93 has no respect for unions or their history - yet i’m 106, so there). One presumes that they’ll remain if anything even more anti-union under Amazon..?

Total trivia: the VIN in the graphic thmbb7092wd114221 is not the notorious one associated with the story, (no one said it was, i just was curious). It turns out it’s a popular VIN from clip art; and besides it fails the standard set of digit checksums.

“Or, more precisely, a small metal fragment of 40 mg, which I obtained from my French colleague, Professor Philippe Charlier of the Max Fourestier Hospital, who asked if I would attempt to analyse it.” [link]

ack! that header photo has the shadow of the moon (one presumes) somehow permitting the clouds to show through the eclipsed portion of the sun - that’s cute... but it’s wrong! (link if necessary)

Will a time come when the right doesn’t actively try to deceive its own base?

yeah what a total gyp, i demand my money back, it was like totally overhyped, only three of the seven signs of the apocalypse, no neighbors ‘purged’, and the goat-headed guy who lives two doors down didn’t even come out to get his mail. _well_ no fancy glasses at all for these sad pilgrim come april 24, 2024 — good…

So if some Elon-Muskoid declared (just declared doesn’t actually have to tool up) that they had an scheme to send a fast rocket (non-gravity assisted — 2.718 years return) equipped with a smart-diamond-fishing-net through the outer atmosphere of Uranus would that cause the traded value of diamonds to notably drop here…

ok... here’s an 12,000-year-old’s question about ya’ whippersnapper’s fancy schmancy lectrick cars: do they have gears? that is, in the sense that they must be shifted, these gears? as such do they come in automatic and manual? (“hey, ...just listen and you can hear the derisive laughter over the whole internet” linky)…

No physical buttons at all (ala a 2001 monolith) or.. a nearly full keyboard (ala blackberry)! To do half-assed otherwise is to be a traitor to your own perfect design model. (“y’know the 2001 monoliths did have a headphone jack but everyone was too busy tripping out to notice”)

Yet it fairly groans to the question: so why not go ahead and produce an actual “all-in-one” coffee/cream/sugar pod with the (bleah) instant coffee as part its all-in-one-ness? (“and perhaps in the form of some sort of suppository?”)

The gods of climate change prefer revenge upon cities with republican mayors, (Miami: Tomás P. Regalado -R.-)
