Well, FWIW, I personally know at least 100 people who managed to listen to Van Halen’s “Jump” at some point without committing suicide or Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf” without resorting to ritual murder, so they’re still sitting at <1% accuracy even with this one in the win column.

Black Hawk Down.  I’m surprised he didn’t include it, actually, and name Bana’s character as the main superhero.  

The actual real-world USAF says it still plans to operate the B-52 in 2050 and beyond (i.e. the workhorse strategic bomber of the world’s foremost military actor will be a 100-year-old design), so this doesn't seem particularly preposterous...

Plus, Rift Apart is barely 8-10 hours long, I just checked and I have a platinum on 11 total hours played and didn’t consult a guide once; even if a shitload of people are playing it, they can 100% the thing in less time than the typical FPS player will spend on whatever shooter they’re playing in any given week.

Has Subaru entered into a co-branding agreement with Fisher-Price or something?  

They can also be amazing for tools, which is doubly great in that a lot of the hand and even power tools manufactured today are basically disposable garbage compared to stuff made up through about the mid-90s, so you can get a bargain and higher quality gear in the process. I recently got an immensely beefy industrial …

Yeah, it’s actually “Michaelsoft", and it was invented by Bill Grates in 1971.

It’s funny because one of these GM sites had an article featuring it recently, but Boondock Saints, hands down. Several of my younger cousins love this movie, and have for years; when I finally saw it a few years ago, I was genuinely taken aback by just how absolutely, irredeemably shitty it was. This is coming from…

He looks like he’s at least 50, and yes, the speed of his deterioration has been stunning. Maybe it’s just some fashion statement, between Rodgers looking like he just woke up in a van down by the river and Jack Dorsey’s Oscar-worthy impression of a homeless hobbit, perhaps it’s just what ultra wealthy people do in…

This is the same Justice Department, mind you, that hounded Aaron Swartz so viciously with the threat of 35 years in prison for the horrifying crime of illegally copying academic articles from JSTOR, that they drove him to suicide. A completely victimless crime, especially given that the files were returned and JSTOR…

Seems like a terrible assumption to make, considering law enforcement agencies notoriously actively discriminate against candidates for scoring too highly on intelligence tests.

Sure, Aaron, sure. I mean, that big high-profile neuropathology study published in JAMA in 2017 found CTE in 110 out of 111 brains of ex-NFL players, but sure, instead why don’t you worry about a shot and your li’l swimmers and the prospect of developing your own dysfunctional family to alienate, the way you already…

Or you could just stay home and watch Planes, Trains & Automobiles instead...

My earliest memory of watching a sports event was the ‘85 Bears-Patriots Superbowl, so I guess I’ve been at this dumb shit for 36 years now, and never at any point in all that time have I wanted an athlete to succeed as much as I do Jordan Love this Sunday. I think I would probably give up a kidney if he could post…

The median income for cooks in the US is just $27,290/year. Which works out to $13.37/hour

The whole thing is suspect, “baked potato” for Wisconsin? WTF? I’ve been to close to 40 Thanksgiving dinners in Wisconsin and never has a baked potato made an appearance, ever. It’s just a normal thing someone would eat most any day of the year without a second thought; the laziest, most dissolute bachelor on Earth…

As De Gaulle (ever the source of a great quip, be it real or apocryphal) supposedly offered, “the graveyards are full of indispensable men.”

I’m on the fence about this.  On the one hand, there are laundromats everywhere, and especially nowadays it’s pretty easy to just keep around enough clothes that you only need to go every three or four weeks, and can do it all at once by using multiple machines.  On the other, paper cups and Solo cups can render a…

Anytime you hear a Republican whining about people “dropping out of the workforce” or the mythical “labor shortage”, what they’re really saying is “the serfs are getting uppity so it’s time to grind their faces a little harder.”

I guess that means DeSantis is no more than 18 mos. away from snagging some more star free agents.
