One would hope the Chicago/Illinois health officials are planning to set up vaccine clinics that don’t involve this hospital.

“No vaccine for YOU!” -- The Vaccine Nazi gloats over his continuing success against the poor.

A puddle of gasoline will just put out a lit, smoldering cigarette. Has to be a flame or a spark to ignite.

those poor tacos

Ooh! Now do one where vaping results in louvers and hubcaps scything through a crowd of schoolchildren, decapitating them by the score!

Driving it on Michigan roads in spring is a fast way to move it past Bentley status to full-out Brokely.

He only killed 8 people. It’s not like he was jaywalking or maybe passing a fake $20 or something really dangerous like that.

It’s encouraging that the police were able to take him into custody “without incident,” it’s nice to see that the police have that ability. At least when it’s someone who doesn’t make them fear for their lives, like a mass-murdering psychopath who’s armed to the teeth and just killed 8 people, versus an actual Scary

I like the phrase, "he'd rather climb a tree and lie then stay on the ground and tell the truth.

You can move hydrogen in a trailer. It’s hard to do with electrons. If you compare actual energy transfer capability, hydrogen fuel stations are cheaper than EV chargers in joules per minute deliver capacity.

You’re only as old as you feel, unless Buzzfeed says otherwise.

If you are going to do it by weight do it right. The tax should be based on the fourth power of the weight, because that is what road damage is proportional to.

I would feel a lot better about this if they made vehicle weight a factor as well. If we are going to get into the nitty gritty of taxing people based on how much they use the road, then it should account for the exponential increase in wear applied by heavier vehicles.

That’s called carrying a grudge with both hands in my family.

That’s exactly what happened. He never intended to win the 2020 election clean. He just assumed he’d be able to steal it, in broad daylight, via his judicial appointments, Republican-held legislatures, and Republican-appointed election officials. He explained his whole fucking plan to the world before the election

I’m just a Soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.

Me too!  I never say to myself anymore, “Stop reading; you have to get up tomorrow.”

I’m not retired, but I am unemployed, so my sleep cycle/circadian rhythm’s fully reverted to a non-24-hour day (basically, one of my “days” is between 26 and 28 hours long on average, so I drift out of phase by a couple of hours each day). Next week is just going to be one “day” that’s an hour longer than even that.

I’m also retired, and I feel the same way; sure plays havoc with doctors’ appointments though.

I’d rather stay on Daylight Time all year. I’m fine with an extra hour of darkness on winter mornings, since we get it back in the evening anyway. As long as we continue to get the extra hour on summer evenings.
