It doesn’t usually melt fast here either, hence the folding chairs, etc. that people place in the spot. Sometimes the side streets do get cleared, either by plow or warm up, but we usually get additional snowfalls that keep shoveled spots claimed territory. As long as the snow remains, however, dibs are generally…

It’s a joke from Stephen Colbert, back when he did his conservative talk show host on the Colbert Report.

The only serious question here is how long one can maintain “ownership” of a shoveled out space. Logically, once the snow has melted off or been plowed out enough, dibs on parking spaces becomes an asshole effort to privatize the commons.

Ahh yes Tesla, the bastion of truthfulness truthiness. 

Do NOT come to Chicago with that attitude. You will come to blows with the person that shoveled the space, and no one here will back you up.

Except a snake oil salesman knows that what he’s selling is bogus. I don’t think Musk is that aware.

What, no Malort?

The book I referenced has a well researched look into what it would take to inhabit Mars (and the Moon, for that matter). They make it clear that living on the surface will never be possible, other than in a shielded structure that might as well be a cave.

Frankly, no one is moving to Mars in Elon’s lifetime. I’ve been reading A City on Mars, which makes a pretty good case for why it won’t happen for a long, long time, if ever.

But his kids are the right kind of kids so it’s ok.

Only credibility.

But several years ago when Buick kicked off the luxury sub-compact CUV thing, Chrysler still could have been revived with some marketable products.

Spice drops suck so much because they impersonate fruit flavored gumdrops. It’s the same problem with pfeffernusse cookies, which impersonate multiple cookies that are actually good. 

The only flaw with chocolate oranges is price. They’re over-priced for what you get, but that’s what post-Christmas sales are for.

I remember Garrison Keillor doing a Lake Woebegone story on Prairie Home Companion about a transplant to MN doing this, but with a small charcoal grill.

He’s the star of multiple Creed films (part of the Rocky franchise) and the major villain in Black Panther, amongst many other films.

Probably a few planes at least to be honest

I’m still baffled that Stellantis never figured out to take that platform and crank out a competitor to the Buick Encore for Chrysler. The Chrysler name still has resonance for the Boomers that were buying up Encores like crazy.

I can believe that the fallout from the break up with Sudekis had her reeling personally, but you can’t let that get in the way of the work when there are many millions of somebody else’s dollars on the line.
