Bless you, madam. May your banana be free of stringy bits.
We need disabled astronauts: Even disabled on an airplane is dangerous to everyone. In an emergency, everyone needs to be able to evacuate without blocking the aisle. Sorry to say, but if you need a wheelchair or are 400lbs you could kill everyone on board by blocking the aisles. Oh, and sliding down an inflated ramp? haha can’t sorry do you have a wheelchair for that ramp? I know this seems cruel but it is true.
As to non-binary people being able to “understand” wave-particle duality better: show me that you can do the calculations, not just how you “feel”.

Reality is not pleasing. It will contradict your cherished views and opinions. Narcissists cannot stand being corrected, and that includes by reality. Note how a narcissist will continue to believe they are beautiful and funny even as they clear out a room when they walk in. They insist they are brilliant even as they lose their shirt on real estate or the stock market (always bad luck). So with pesky facts such as physics and the size and history of Africa. Just ignore them and you can pretend you are not an ignorant ass.
Seize something functional that wipipo built. You’ll at least get a couple years of use before it falls apart.
Trailer trash barbie for me
Road rage of note.
Southall scenes.
Goodwood Festival of Speed livestream. Carry on.
It all seems to have started when parents stopped spanking their children
Yobs were around when spanking was still a thing, but they were treated in a reciprocal fashion, not with deference and restraint.
The French edition of the thing which never happens has happened again.
Add the fact that it is butt-ugly and damned hard to read… It’s a definite no for me. I’ll wait for the cheap Chinese knock-offs – and then ignore them, too
I know a lot of techno geeks who are blind to beauty and see only tech cleverness. They’d look at this and think only “Cool!”
Who’s going to tell her about demographic differences in criminality?
No point in trying: She’s too old, she’s too stupid, and she’s too fucking blind.
If she were half the moral authority she thinks she is, she’d take a flamethrower to herself.
Via Ace…OMG…THE MOST Canadian and the funniest thing you will see today. I gar-un-tee…No…seriously…fight me…
So…answering my own challenge…stupid Canadians aren’t funny enough…That didn’t impress you? Well…again via Ace…take this.
Yup. Not really satire. The only thing that wasn’t true was that dude never donated to support the Trucker’s protest. I gar-un-tee. If he’d had his bank account frozen he would have drowned in his own urine as he pissed himself.
My father’s second wife has been widowed four times. My dad was her third.
Nothing we can prove, is the thing.
You need a system. Regular checking of stair-carpet integrity, brake cables, electricals, and so forth. And keep an eye out for suspicious quantities of no-longer-sold pesticides.
Said the man flashing his arse to small children.
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own. Comments that-a-way.
Um, correct me if I am wrong, but this policy is being implemented under the Trump administration….
Musical accompaniment.
@Cloudbuster,
If you look at the images you’ll see this is Minnesota state level, not federal.

Top GearBottom Tier: No, really.Maybe I’m not understanding something about UK driving rules, but is there some reason the people in the car behind couldn’t simply … say … pull around and go on with their day? I see idiots poking along in the fast lane (ours is on the left, as god intended) on a regular basis, but I don’t tailgate or rear-end them, I just … pull around and go on with my day.
