I think this three part retrospective on old posts is boring, despite that the only way other commenters can read my comments would be to look at really old ones, other than in Takeout.  If people need a timeout for the cookout, better to just use guest columnists or a “Gone fishing” notice, like most businesses it my…

The contractor fired their own rude worker.  TSA’s reputation is in no way improved, as they don’t deserve credit for firing this person.  TSA does deserve a hand for making it sound like they fired someone.  If TSA actually did want to fire someone, it would probably take them a year and a full time employee devoted…

It may be that Tlaib never intended to visit her grandmother in the West Bank, on her own. This travel, unlike the travel as a delegation, would have to be paid from her own personal funds.  It is more likely that she was hoping Israel would again refuse permission for the visit and face more approbation.  

If it works, the park will have something to crow about, but if the project fails, somebody will have to eat crow.

Clearly people who like to use their phones should find another bar or restaurant that appreciates them and caters to their preferences.  If you come at these problems with the attitude that the customer needs to be changed and not the business model, then sorry, you aren’t going to win this one.

The President wants to make Greenland a bastion of ICE and relocate detainment camps and detainees there.

I guess this means you prefer Ragu over Prego, doesn’t it?

Everyone has tasted evaporated milk from a can. Just in general, though, all attempts to sell milk as a shelf stable product, on a large scale, in America, have failed. refrigerated milk, reasonably fresh from the dairy, with a two week expiration date, that’s what Americans like. In Europe, shelf stable milk products…

There are things women, celebs have to do to keep the public happy after the failure of their relationships and Miley is doing them, doubtless on the advice of professionals.  As a male celeb, Liam has a more readily manageable situation and only has to be affable in the face of the wrecking ball.  I think the issue…

Remember that it is now a thing to decriminalize deliberately infecting people with HIV, exactly what Lasiter pretended to do.

Tepid Greenland, berift of ice would be arable with soil and peat, composted since before the last ice age, mineral rich land about three times the size of Texas, with some of the best fishing grounds in the world, making everyone in the sparsely populated land, extremely wealthy. But, yeah, they won’t be able to ski…

In a few hundred years, perhaps salmon using these runs will see their fins evolve to look more wing-like.

Something is a bit off about this story.  I think you’re right, but this stuff might have been seeded by neighbors or an unprofessional real estate person without the owner’s knowledge. 

I don’t think any State’s liquor laws will allow sales without a human, as opposed to an A.I. to check ID.  Minimally, the AI would have to be 21 years old.

Some airlines are actually sending passengers their eTickets on Twitter and other social media, not just email.  

My recollection is that one of Putin’s regular events celebrating new weapons to glamourize Russian military muscle and threaten the West, was a cruise missile powered by a small nuclear reactor that could fly almost indefinitely. This missile would start with conventional rocket fuel and then once airborne the…

If you go back far enough, members of Germanic tribes were conquered and shipped to the Roman Empire, as slaves.  Sicily was the very first Province of the Roman Empire and therefore it is quite likely that an ethnic Sicilian or Italian woman’s ancestors might have owned an ethnic German’s ancestors, as slaves.

There is something similar about Hybristophilia and the affinity some women have toward big cats, like tigers or lions. There is some feeling of power and desire to imagine influencing their behavior in some beneficial way. It seems like this analysis doesn’t really have enough emphasis on the lurid sexual interest…

They have amazing fishing rivers in Manitoba!

Subway is going balls out on this.
