Unfortunately, people tend to buy vehicles to best accomplish 1% of their driving. I live in the suburbs and almost every house has a giant pickup parked in front. Not because people are in the construction business and need to haul a lot of stuff, but because once a year they might go to Home Depot and it feels good to put their two bags of mulch in the back.

Now I'm just sitting here picturing you saying stuff like "Careful don't touch that! That pan is ho!"

I love The Three Body Problem, both the books and the show. But it bothered me to no end to read Netflix's Three Body Problem.

Ah gotcha. Yeah you should check out the books if you're liking the show! The books go into a ton more detail and the Staircase Project is pretty cool. Seeing it on the screen is cool too, but if you really wanna nerd out I highly recommend the books.

My kids got just enough cursive in school to learn how to sign their names. Definitely not 3-4 years of it. Maybe 3-4 weeks at the most.

Highly recommend checking out the giraffes at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado. You can feed them!

Also what’s with the girl next to her wearing an “Obama you’re fired” shirt? Obama has been ineligible to run for president for a while now. I mean, so has Trump, but at least Obama isn’t forcing a Supreme Court ruling about it.

"Sir, I ran the numbers. We can expand the restaurant to add ovens for the bakery to sell fresh bread. It’ll cost us $2,000,000 for the expansion and we’re projecting to lose half a million a year in operating costs. Or we can just pay our dozen employees an extra $2 an hour, making our employees happier, increasing retention rates, reducing training costs, and all in all just being the right thing to do "

“Good work, Johnson. I want those ovens up and running by Monday.”

Haha I wasn’t looking for a quote, I was just making the “citation needed” joke that XKCD throws into a lot of stuff.

I was reading one of his the other day and he got me with the same thing. It was:

Outer space is a lot higher up than Niagara Falls ^[citation ^needed]

I think it was more like the guy before him drug us into multiple, decades long wars - then the guy after him tried to overthrow our democracy and instill himself as president after losing an election. So having an 8 year break of semi-normalcy was refreshing.

    Yeah it talks about that in the article

    jballs ,
    @jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This headline is clickbait.

    TLDR; some guy you never heard of is running for the Republican nomination for president. In September, he sued to have Trump removed from the primary ballot in Alaska and dozens of other states. The article makes no mention of an upcoming trial date or anything said or done by an election official or judge.

    Seriously, is AI making memes now? How is this even up voted? It doesn’t make any sense.

    I just finished listening to Duma Key by Stephen King. For some reason, the narrator thought it was a good idea to lower the volume of their voice and nearly whisper the really dramatic parts. It’d be like “**Her father was a **^smdfprhfjs”

    I had to rewind so many times that I was ready to quit. Fantastic book otherwise, but having an option to jump to text real quick would’ve been a life saver.

    He’s following the same strategy with the Georgia RICO indictments. He can’t deny that he did what he did, it’s well documented. So instead his defense is going to be “fuck you, I was president and can do what I want.”

    And his supporters love him for it.

    “You can’t indict a sitting president, that’s what impeachment is for.”

    “You can’t impeach a sitting president, that’s what the election is for.”

    “You can’t impeach the president again now that he’s lost the election, that’s what the justice system is for.”

    “You can’t indict someone running for president, that’s what the next election is for.”

    Followed quickly by “of course you can nominate a Supreme Court Justice during an election.”

    Trump never got a mugshot from his first indictment, but his campaign actually created one themselves to put on merchandise for fundraising.

    These fucking clowns think committing crimes and acting persecuted is a viable campaign strategy.

    Sounds like he may have committed some light treason.

    Well that sounds horrifying. I can’t imagine being so brainwashed that I’d ever break into someone’s house because Donald Trump, of all people.
