Make a band edible: The Beetles. What?

Movies you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

We famously use our military to keep the wind flowing around the world. Why we just sent an aircraft carrier to Venezuela to potentially seize their wind. We look the other way when wind tyrants use their turbine blades to hack up dissidents. Nothing like that for fossil fuels.

Short answer, "yes" with an "if." Long answer, "no" with a "but."

Subways/busses are far safer than two-lane country blacktops.

While there's no question this is a good thing, I will miss the fun of gawking at the out-of-towners in their rental cars with the thousand yard stare wondering why Google got them into this mess.

1000x this.

It's amazing how many folks who used to swear we could never let Munich 1938 happen again are letting Munich 1938 happen again...

Garbage politician has never heard of "garbage in, garbage out".

Hard disagree. If the quote does not contain the period then it shouldn't be in it. We already do that for ? And ! Consider the computer instruction case. Type "format c: /s /y". vs Type "format c: /s /y." Only one will result in a shiny new hard drive!

You will all know I have been kidnapped or bodysnatched if I ever use the phrase "begs the question" to mean "raises the question".

"And I should know, being an individual who was one of the greatest threats to our republic."

I'm not about to read Isaacson's biography to get details, but this sure sounds like someone stumbling on the Martingale strategy and deciding they're a genius and no around them knowing that's a (bad) thing. Which I think is far more revealing than any "what a risk taker" type hagiography.

Keanu Reeves tries to soothe an inconsolable baby in JOHNNY WITH COLIC.

A picture is worth a thousand n-words.

Back in the day we used to say, "What's the difference between Google & Microsoft? About 15 years." Turns out that was wrong. Looks like it was 23 years.

If you want to explain to someone what "begs the question" means, show them this quote. "I don't think he did it because I don't think he's the sort of person who would do that."

Everyone knows that in Monopoly it's better to GO to jail to avoid paying rent so we shouldn't send Trump there. I'd like my NYT column now please.

There is no halting problem on Turing Street.

Regarding current events, I'm disgusted AF at your arguments as to why it's ok when your side kills children. That is all.

Just think how much a better place the world would be if at every point we had simply done the exact opposite of whatever this war criminal had wanted to do. That anyone would ask his opinion on anything shows that as a society we have an attention span that would embarrass a goldfish.

This is such a clear example of WHAT the NYT is willing to "both sides." Biden/Trump have to be treated the same, but workers are affected by the *UAW strike*, not by management unwillingness to meet worker demands, or even a both-sides "labor dispute". NYT seemingly defers to power in all things.

Of all the dystopias, the Orwell/SkyNet love-child where human behavior is critiqued and modified by hallucinatory AIs is one of the worst... "You only made eye-contact 28.3% of the time, Dave. The computer says you're not a team player. Why is that?" blog.zoom.us/zoom-ai-comp...

Reskeet with a picture of your first gaming memory. This one is crap...

After the old place, being here feels like I've died & gone to heaven - it's clean, the conversations are delightful, there are folks I'm happy to see after long separations, but it's also pretty quiet and many interesting folks are absent...
