He probably needs to learn to not inhale while swallowing.

New baseball rules this year. Now there's a shot clock too!

Not sure how uplifting it is to be reminded of things in the sky I can never view through the clouds.

When I learned Spanish, I discovered the problem of word juncture. English has it, Spanish much less so. That's part of what makes reading it easier than hearing it - it's hard to tell with spoken language where one word end and the next one starts.

Who the hell wrote this, ChatGPT?

At least try to answer the question.

That would require the US to de facto recognize Taiwan as a separate country, wouldn't it?

For when just a single fup won't do.

When did the world decide that dark roast coffee was the only choice?

I can only buy one bag of coffee at Costco that isn't dark or French roast. My all-time favorite cup of coffee is a Kona light roast peaberry, fresh brewed at the source.

Love the misspelling.

Must have been a harrowing walk down that trail.

Well, if the history of advances in home video are any guide ...

"Say, Omar, this drink is wonderful. Mild diesel overtones, a brake fluid finish that lingers on the palette, with hints of 90W and ethylene glycol".

We had high hopes for an unlimited supply of quality sarcasm, but as you can see, it hasn't panned out.

Please tell me his name is Luke.

>Sometimes our bodies evolve weird quirks, and there's no actual benefit, but also no cost to our actual fitness. E.g hair graying in our elder years.)

This cannot be restated frequently enough here.

As long as a trait doesn't negatively impact an organism's reproductive fitness, it might just be carried around for no good reason whatsoever. That's how evolution works - some changes are good, some are bad, and (probably) the vast majority are neither, requiring no further explanation other than mutations cause fun things to happen.

My next door neighbor died outside Tillamook bay when his small boat capsized.

Not the Blue Pool.

Very nice. Good job photoshopping out the still.

C'mon, Netflix. I sympathize with your desire to get people to pay for the services your provide. But unless I'm using a VPN, the technology already exists that will tell you if my devices are all streaming from the same location. Don't make people have to do manually what you can easily do automatically.

Safety regulation #0: Ambulatory robots do NOT get to build more ambulatory robots.

My brand new tank specifically says an insulating wrap is not needed and voids the warranty.

I always thought meat smoking was how one paid for their meth habit.

Not every device needs the speed of 3.x. Your mouse and keyboard hardly use a small fraction of the throughout of even USB 2. Why incur costs that buy you no benefit?

I painted professionally for several years. We didn't tape straight edges like this - we learned how to paint to a hard line directly. Once you are skilled, it's faster and doesn't suffer from the problems you're having. Cleaning up the occasional oops manually turns out to be much faster.

Indeed.

A couple of years ago, I read an article in the NYTimes from a woman who was complaining about a lifetime of discrimination and micro aggressions.

Every example in the article - every single one - I had experienced in my life. I know no one is discriminating against me as a regular white man in a white majority city.

Some people are rude, ignorant, self absorbed, or any combination. If you see everything as discrimination, maybe you're the problem.
