The real question here is what the limits are on the applicable insurance policies and coverages. There is no law or legal principle that would let a plaintiff get at a defendant’s personal funds without exhausting any applicable insurance. I’m assuming that if basically everyone knew Weinstein was a monster, they…

Goddamn German Hanovers...

I think the units that match their numbers are grams per gram, a little known concept, also known as percent. Somewhere along the line the author must have noticed that the grams per oz numbers looked funny until he realized that was actually grams per 100 ounces. Nailed it. 

And while this sounds reasonable - nobody eats a “serving” of cereal, which I think is just a half cup, by volume.

used to have Rice Krispies a lot when I was a kid.  but we’d sprinkle a spoonful of sugar over it to make it palatable, so there goes that. 

The Catholic Church’s defining ritual is confession. It’s drilled into every little girl and boy that, as long as they confess their sins and do a little penance, God is cool with them.

It isn’t, but that’s also comparing a 3rd season salary to a first season one so it’s not exactly apples and apples. We also don’t have the audience numbers or other information (if say 50% of new subscribers cited Stranger Things specifically as their reason for signing up). I’m not saying she wasn’t being paid less…

how she violated its community guidelines policy (whatever that means)

This would be a completely different discussion, taking place in a completely different tone, had Woody Allen not gotten involved with, and then married, a girl who was technically not his stepdaughter. That was the same level of Public Relations Suicide as Michael “Cosmo Kramer” Richards screaming the N-word (no, not…

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Kunz spoon, and don’t feel like clicking links:

Yo, anybody remember the short story “The Masque of the Red Death”? Your health is only as secure as the least-cared-for member of your society.  

It’s actually a great idea. Get some beers, watch the game, and have virtually limitless access to $2 and $3 menu options. I’d bet people would purchase considerably more food per person per visit than takeout.

3,000 words?! Samwise only needed 5 seconds to properly explain the merits of the potato.

Still 1000x better than the prequels. Although I’d be happier if everyone forgot the prequels, Disney movies, TV shows, and video games that stretched the vague world-building of the original trilogy way past the breaking point. I did like Rogue One, I have to admit.

last jedi is dogshit

I know it’s derivative, but I enjoyed ‘The Force Awakens’, and I’m one of those people who liked ‘The Last Jedi’ a whole lot. But ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ will go down as one of the all-time cinematic bed-shittings in history.

I need a talk show. “Whattup, Doe?”: I wouldn’t cost nearly as much as Mr. Smiley or Mr. Matthews. You can also cut costs by filming in Detroit; there’s still plenty of empty buildings here, gentrification notwithstanding. I’m also relentlessly shy around women, so I avoid any and all “flirty banter” and any other…

I keep wondering if this sellout is as real as people seem to think it is. My annoying schedule has me in 3 towns weekly that are relatively far apart and granted, the Target and the grocery store were both sold out, but Staples, Best Buy and the dollar store all had some. So did a gas station near me. I already have…

Have you ever sucked on a straw to drink a beverage? Did you instantly inhale your coke? How did you survive long enough to learn how to use the internet and post on here?
