The People story reports that the new mother is 19 and was having “personal problems” (their quotes) so her friends thought a night out at Da Clurb would cheer her up. She did not drink alcohol, People dutifully reported.

*raises hand*  I do.  Usually with Oreos.  Hell, sometimes I drink straight from the jug because I get a craving.

since my current lust object isn’t even a real person. 

“But the high tide that slammed into the city on Tuesday night rose to a different level. A full moon was already set to drive a higher than normal tide, but a powerful storm churning in the Mediterranean helped push flooding into overdrive.”

You’re right. Italian Authorities choose the project mainly for bribes. Many of them are now prosecuted. Every Venetian could tell you that having something under water as it is MOSE requires a huge amount of money for maintenance. For example Tamigi’s barriers can be lifted to be repaired and cleaned while MOSE’s will…

Counterpoint. It looked like a shitty movie before and now it looks like a shitty movie with a less terrifying cherry on top. No one “owes” the studio any of their time or money.

Also, it’s coming out in February.

What else are you really going to go see that month? It’s not a time of world-beating blockbusters.

I wonder how long it’ll take a producer or two to realise how they can use the Sonic example to their advantage.

I’m sure if we ignore it, it will go away.

And yet a pipeline should be safer and more eco friendly than transporting that oil by train or truck. The focus is wrong here - regulate the pipeline, make them inspect it frequently and make them responsible for cleaning up leaks.

Those aren’t friends, dude. I say this with the best of intentions- find some nicer people to hang out with. Friends don’t do that.

They aren’t friends.

Well, while it’s virtually impossible to create a pipeline that’s 100%, guaranteed leak proof, there are construction procedures that can definitely prevent the possibility. If the government entities that oversee such projects demanded full-penetration welding on all pressure boundary parts in conjunction with…

Well...one should always be true to one’s self...

You’re a monster.

step two sounds hard

This stuff is so silly. I got a DWAI for driving on my doctor prescribed medication. Now I have random UAs in which I can test positive for the DR. PRESCRIBED MEDICATION because Ihave a PRESCRIPTION FOR THE MEDICATION FROM MY DR. $11 a pop about twice a week and and at least an hour each visit out of my day for them…

Step One: Drink a TON of water so your results are completely worthless. Say you’ve been dehydrated in the days prior, and accidentally drank too much water.

UPS, in their infinite wisdom, once left on my front porch in a very bad neighbourhood a package that was clearly marked as being from Apple and computer-sized. They were supposed to get a signature for it rather than just leave it...

A package from an ebay seller came up missing, on a day when I was outside and the temp mailman handed my mail TO ME, sans package, of course; the post office later declaring to ebay it had been put in my mailbox...as reported by their letter carrier.
