Oh please - King is a master of endings compared to Crichton, who wrote some of the most atrocious. hackneyed, deus ex machina endings to decent books ever, starting with Andromeda Strain.  His whole catalog is like a master class of how not to end a story.  

Whoa wait. You doubled down and tried to come up with yet more bullshit to support your fallacious argument? Dude, back the fuck up.  You do realize that quarantine has been a part of disease control since pretty much forever right?  If people aren't willing to do what is FUCKING NECESSARY - ie get vaccinated, than…

Not gonna reiterate everything that has been said pointing out how wrong you are, but just a suggestion to research the basic premise of your argument before making it. It will save you much embarrassment in the future.  

My Mother-in-law is 66 and has no grey hair.  I'm 41 and half my head is grey.  It's all really evenly mixed with my black hair so not patchy, but still kind of annoying :)

That only works with safety glass where it breaks into chunks that have no sharp points. This stuff shatters into the equivalent of a thousand tiny knives ready to slice you or anyone else in a 20ft radius. It is absolutely, unequivocally, not “safer” than having several large pieces.

My 75 year old neighbor, who is a former jet pilot and top fuel dragster driver (a 10 year career change when he got bored of commercial flying), has a 1927 Ford t-bucket that he takes out several times a week. And the whole neighborhood knows when he does - it doesn’t have a fake supercharger - rather it makes 1000HP…

Last time I checked there were no VW bugs that were 30-50 meters in diameter.  The one that hit AZ 50k years ago was as big as a 15 story building dude.  And the crater is 1 mile across.  You have to go WAY bigger for an ELE.

Punctuation should only go inside the quotes when the whole sentence is a quote. I don’t care what any rules of grammar actually state - putting a period inside the quotes when only the last word of the sentence is in quotes is ridiculous.

I don’t get this war against aerodynamics - manufacturers are supposed to be producing more efficient trucks, and yet every year they become not just more brick like, but brick wall like.  It makes utterly no sense.  

If that is racing, well then fuck racing.

Was that 55k km on this engine, or is that the 2nd or 3rd one? ;-)

As my screen name might indicate, I agree with you.

I live in Arizona. We may not do much correctly, but not observing DST at all is definitely one area where we are 100% right.  DST is pointless and costly.

Hit the editor time out - amended the above with this: “We all know why not - because John Henry is an unequivocally Black character and that would be ludicrous. But Dwayne Johnson has never been an unequivocally Black actor, and I at least can understand why it would make people upset - or at least not feel quite…

Jesus dude - I’m a white guy here and I think Idris Elba would be AMAZING as Bond. I also have never bothered to think about the racial history of The Rock, nor have I ever really thought of him as “black”. As has been stated its never been a part of the identity he portrays. He just as easily could be half Samoan and…

Those are the same guy??!?  Good lord.

Now Firehouse Subs has some legitimately good sandwiches - I recommend trying one if you have one near you. Kinda pricey though, but so much better than most chain sub-shops.

I hate the politics of JJ but their sandwiches are definitely a cut above Subway.  Note: this isn't saying much.

Not seeing that - I do see them being cordial, with nothing to indicate anything beyond that, but I don’t see hate or dislike in their actions at all.  

That is the way to sadness and heartbreak when assembling Ikea furniture. Woe and misery to he that ignores that iconography.
