This isn’t much different from what’s been happening in grocery stores for years now, subtly slimming down packing in ways that makes it look like you’re still getting as much product as before. The ice cream cartons shrinking down a half inch on all 3 dimensions, the cereal box getting thinner, the punt on the bottom…

I think the article stating it’s hard to get info from the permit office is probably overblown.

I think the consensus was that none of the other fund managers had anything invested with him because it was too good to be true, yet none of them thought to mention that to anyone with any power to do anything about it.

The fact that Donald Trump isn’t on this list is a yuuuge glaring omission.

This is peak armchair quarterback.  Great work!

Don’t discount their experience. This person is 24 and has already had a handful of “long-term” relationships. Clearly, they’ve got it figured out.

Fuck HOA’s.

Fully expected one bullet point: “Your friendship”.

I’m glad I live where recovering from our most common extreme weather generally just involves digging oneself out and making sure people can walk past the house.

I always figured they do those guesses because they’re morons.

Is Primer a time loop movie in the Groundhog day sense? To my ind that and 12 Monkeys, Time Rider, etc. are not of the sam ilk where someone or some group are stuck repeating the same time period again and again.

Don’t forget instant coffee. It may taste like crap, but when all you want or need is the caffeine.....

...began making static wicks in the 1950s, notes that before static wicks planes would also sometimes experience what’s known as St. Elmo’s Fire...

You’re not at all wrong. But I also have basically never paid this fee in my life and no one else should either. Every car negotiation I’ve ever done has been for final price. I tell every salesman I work with that any price I negotiate is inclusive of everything except tax and my state registration. If anything else…

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I mean, in languages where a spoon can be male or female, what hope do nonbinary people have? 

But chickens don’t fly. Shouldn’t that be a Land, Land, & Sea?

The idea of a carbon footprint is a scam sold by the petroleum industry to distract people from regulating/demanding alternative of the fossil fuel industry. You can pay for offsets but even if you find an effective one it’s nothing but a drop in the bucket AND you’re allowing yourself to be a tool of big industry.

The trauma of the prep and procedure has been greatly exaggerated. It’s one day of pooping a lot then the exam the next day. My physician’s office uses twilight anesthesia (trade name, “versed”) which has no aftereffects for me or most people. It’s just not a big deal.

Can we be real for a minute?

Before you do that drain the pipes by filling a but tub with cold water, so you have something to drink.
