Or, they’re just lazy and inconsiderate bastards.

Fun mayo story (mayo haters should skip). A radio station in Philly used to have a wing eating contest the day before the Super Bowl. In addition to the “pros” who were invited, your average Joe Schmoe could qualify by going down to the station and performing some suitable gustatory stunt on the air. My favorite stunt…

Extra 0 slipped in there.

Ranked choice voting should include a “none of the above” choice. If “none of the above” ends up with a majority, then the election is rerun with none of the candidates on the ballot eligible.

Maine only uses ranked choice for federal elections. State elections (state legislature and governor) are still decided by plurality.

Hope you gave the dog some.

This is the first cogent argument I have heard for treating attempted murder differently than successful murder. I suppose it also gives the perp a reason to reconsider their actions if they are not initially successful. Thank you.

“Canister vacuum” != “Bagless vacuum”

You’re right, of course, but there have been equally tragic road rage outcomes that didn’t involve firearms, just “items at hand” (like the car itself).

Yup. And I was just yesterday talking to someone about road rage shooting incidents who said they could never understand how somebody could do something like that. My reply: “Perhaps you’ve just never been in the exact circumstances that person was in at the time. Unless you’re certain you have, you have no right to…

The Law of Headlines

I got a Band-Aid(TM) or generic equivalent after both shots.

Yup, sad. From:

By far my favorite “yogababble” is the yearly self-assessment. I have no idea what any of the questions mean. I usually just make something up that sounds good. So far nobody seems to have noticed.

So I’m definitely not in the “I paid mine off so f*ck everybody else” camp, and I’d love to see these people helped, but there’s one thing I don’t understand: is forgiveness just a one-time occurence? So everybody who has student loan debt now essentially wins a birthdate lottery, and future students start building up…

60 Minutes hasn’t been serious journalism for about 35 years.

My 86 year old father’s live-in girlfriend (about which, hey, good for him) has succeeded in pulling him into the whole OAN/NewsMax/Alex Jones stolen election vortex. Whenever the conversation gets anywhere near the election or politics, I just flash a stupid grin and change the subject.
