Yeah, NOTHING in ALL CAPS.

It was a great way to dispose of surplus bombs from WWII.

They were designed for the faster speeds. Speeds were lowered to 55 mph in most of the country during the 1970s as a (perfectly rational) response to the OPEC oil embargoes in that decade. Lower speeds = lower fuel consumption per mile.

I once ran afoul of our UX guy for suggesting that we run our design past a focus group before implementing it. Dude literally said “users don’t know what they want”.

I had a job like that back in the day (circa 2000). I remember one stretch where for a solid month around 50 developers did nothing but call in to Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? to try to become a contestant. Ironically, one web app I wrote for them (with Visual Basic and “Classic” ASP) is still in use today – and it was a front end for a mainframe system that dated to the 1980s, which means that’s still up and running as well.

I give peanuts to crows but sometimes one squirrel shows up and chases the crows away (and there are usually 5 or 6 crows there). I don’t get it – this particular murder will gang up on red-tailed hawks and chase them away but they’ll just sit there looking sad at the one squirrel as he eats the peanuts.

I always say: when Life gives you lemons, jam them up Life’s tailpipe.

You put Basel in the ratatouille?!?!

Which direction you goin’?

Because the last time Congress declared war was 1941, and we have fought a shit ton of wars since then.

I remember reading for four years that Merrick Garland was just making sure his T’s were crossed and his I’s dotted before putting Trump away. Whoopsie.

Are we going to start polling on things like what the current temperature is outside, too?

My stats prof in college actually used to do this, and the average guess was always within half a degree of the true temperature. Still not worth doing given that thermometers exist, but interesting nevertheless.

I’ve read it described as “bridges, tunnels, roads and airstrips”. It makes sense to diversify.

I thought you had exploding roads.

Aren’t most people on a fixed income?

No, most people are on broken incomes.

I’m so glad my parents and brother have (nearly) the same politics as me. Having to regularly deal with trumpers (without being able to laugh in their faces as with my co-workers) would be a perpetual torment. My brother did have an inexplicable phase of loving Putin, but that passed quickly.

Every cybertruck I see where I live has some company logo or wrap on it. It’s great advertising – it lets me know never to hire that company for anything.

The most hilarious one is for a company that does waterproofing. Like yes, I’m going to hire a waterproofing company that just spent $100K on a vehicle that can’t go through a car wash.

I can’t hang in there 'til Friday.

almost always knew

I mean, he had no idea the shoot-up of his bedroom was coming. And he only found out about Fredo’s betrayal because Fredo was an absolute fucking moron.

Yes: Features no original members.

This is technically true, but Yes does still have Steve Howe who was the guitarist on their first hit album (“The Yes Album” in 1971).
