Exactly. The drivers were always just a placeholder until the autonomous Uber Taxis were ready. Unfortunately for Uber, it looks like the jig may be up a few years before they were truly ready to start replacing the drivers.

This is why I will never understand the appeal of fajitas.  Nevermind the dish that requires the most work from the customer is often one of the priciest on the menu!

It’s not all that uncommon. I come from a family of steelworkers and railroadmen (mostly in my grandparents generation). Had a lot of great uncles (and their friends) missing digits.

Define “NBA tall,” please. I’m only 6'4" and that is actually a lower angle than from which I view most of the people I meet. I generally end up staring at the tops of people’s heads all day.

...found that his social media accounts followed people expressing “political points of view that oppose the U.S.”

For distributed CDNs, a few days for content to expire globally isn’t all that surprising.

I’m sorry, but I got quite a chuckle picturing you having this issue. Why don’t you just...unlock before you put the phone down to the reader? Like everyone else does? Double-tap the lock button while looking at the phone, it will then ask you to put it down by the reader. ;-)

White women made up 70 percent of those figures (up 3 percent from past years), 17 percent were black women (down 2 percent from the previous survey), 7 percent Asian (up 1 percent), and 6 percent Latina (down 1 percent).

Just last week, as I exited the elevator to my office, I fumbled putting one of my airpods back in the case, and it arced straight into the gap between the elevator and the lobby floor. Could not have made that shot if I tried; nothing but  net slot!

Oh, there’s got to be more for them next season. Hell, the Circle of the Suns looks for all the world like it stands on giant legs! I mean, they already animated rocks to form the stone golem, Lore...I can totally see their whole place just picking up and taking off across the desert like a big rocky spider.

Perhaps he thinks he can fight it all the way to SCOTUS, where he might be given a more sympathetic ear, given the current bench?

“...elevating a very good $3.99 sandwich...”

That is some top-notch pedantry, right there.  I am pleased by this.

Yep, the very first thing I did after installing a bidet a few years ago was to turn it on to test....completely forgetting that I should have been sitting...not standing, bent over the toilet. Soaked right in the face, and all down my shirt as I made a mad scramble to turn it off!

True, for actual USE of the drug, but I remember a series of high-profile train crashes in the 90s where it turned out the operators in several cases were high on weed at the time of the crashes. Many people died. I would consider those “linked” to marijuana.

Hah! My high school actually just stood them all in up a corner in the office behind the secretary’s desk! They’d tie a little nametag to them, so no one’s rifle went home with the wrong person. No safes, no trigger locks, many not even in cases (straight from the gun rack in the pickup to the office). No one even…

As a lifelong bass player (and one who also works with his hands for many of my hobbies) my calluses laugh at this gif. Even directly up against the cloth, they’d be hard pressed to stick a proboscis through any skin on the front side of my hands!

DC vs Heller was a very recent case (2008), and did nothing but loosen the (at the time) very restrictive laws of DC to be more favorable for gun ownership.

Genuinely curious, what are the second and third-order effects of successfully eradicating mosquitoes?

This sounds like my Popeyes...  They’re all really nice, but ungodly stupid.  Very quick to make a screwed-up order right.  Usually just make the whole thing over, and tell me to keep both.
