This is really the situation Erik is in. His neighborhood in NYC has gas lines from the time when the lights were gas, late 19th century. Several communities in the northeast have had problems with those ancient lines failing. Since these are American utility companies, they have ignored the problem until there are…

Are the gas lines in your neighborhood 120+ years old?  Because that’s the real issue here, not cooking.

Way to miss the entire point of Versailles.  It only exists because of the monarchy.

Christopher Hitchens used to refer to her as a vapid disco queen, which makes the casting of Kristen Stewart absolutely perfect.

Good thing that part of the country has never had a severe hail storm.

He also shoehorned his decidedly non-telegenic daughter into the final episode just so she could renew her SAG card.  Absolute waste of screen time, and an insult to the professional actors who earned their credit.

That depends on how committed to JIT business those dealerships are. Did they apply that concept to cash flow? Building your business model around needing to make x number of sales per day, every day of every month doesn’t leave you with much room for unforeseen circumstances. Laying off sales staff wouldn’t shake…

The Dutch also LOVE piracy.  It is astonishing how large of a percentage of pirated media is dutch language, considering how small of a percentage of the world speaks that brutal language.

I like how the uproar over the ending dispelled the myth that Sopranos fans were “sophisticated”. They all thought there was something wrong with their cable, despite the fact the screen went to black on beat with the song. It was an obvious production move, but people couldn’t process something like that. Apparently…

I was thinking more of Mickey Munday from “Cocaine Cowboys”. When they were doing a run through the Haulover Inlet, they would have a diversion boat ready to be scuttled with the intent of telling the Coast Guard there were children in the water. That would direct all the attention away from their coke runner boat.

Driven by an affluent immigrant who thinks they have a status symbol, but aren’t aware of what that status truly is. (sucker!)

Sounds like the basis for much of China’s economy.

Ad blockers exist.

There’s a large number of well-to-do people who are remarkably dumb.

Henry Winkler?

How much of this latest special is Dave sucking on a vape pen?  Dude has a serious addiction problem, and it’s killing his voice.

Perfect video for sweater season!

Don’t worry, an OTA update* will fix everything!

Thanks for that info. I got the J&J around that same time and am now wondering what booster route I should take. Having not been sick at all in a dozen years, the side effects are rather concerning to me. Was happy the J&J was nothing more than injection site tenderness after hearing so many stories of flu-like…
