Now I wonder about elephants given that they have funerals and mourn their dead.

I remember when Facebook was solely for college students. Now it seems to have a three denture minimum.

I tried via search and failed to prove it, but I'm nearly certain this was an old Facebook satire page.

Biodiesel was gonna be the next big thing before EVs started gaining traction. Arnold drove around a Hummer that was modified to run on vegetable oil while he was governor.

I hope that wasn't a stupid question. I've been out of that game since before most people on the Internet were born, so I didn't want to make assumptions based on "that's how we used to do it."

I went over once when they were shooting off commercial grade fireworks on a Wednesday night and feel lucky to have escaped alive. The young bulls got threatening with me until the older guy came out and spoke reason. It's just a product of where I live.

I'm so old that the last time I wrote a research paper, it was on a word processor with no Internet connection or spell check.

Given such constraints, I can't fathom the concept of waiting until the end to add all the references. If I didn't do it as I went, I'd have surely died.

I should add that we always read each other's papers before submission to get a second set of eyes for errors, misspellings, and grammatical quagmires. It was mutually beneficial as the reviewing made us all better. Is that still a common practice?

No good story ever began with a glass of milk.

Anthony Burgess: Hold my milk plus.

Here in the Texas summer it's about seven in the morning. Annoying, but everybody realizes that if you go out any later, you're gonna die of heat stroke.

My neighbors consistently party until about five in the morning with outdoor speakers on the weekends. I'm generally up for the day before they're done with last night, and I get to enjoy free concerts from their sound system.

You're God damned right I've zero qualms about firing up the lawn mower as soon as the sun breaks the eastern horizon.

Isn't his strategy here to just ignore it?

I couldn't believe they actually got him in a cell over the contempt changes, but holy hell it took a lot to get there.

I used power delete suite last year. Just checked and most of my profile is back. Assholes.

I've moved from Denton County to Dallas since the last election. I'm curious to see the difference in voting. Lewisville was staunch Republican area. Voting took about thirty minutes surrounded by red hats with scowling faces in line.

What about 3D printing one?

That's an interesting idea.

Billionaire preppers are already exploring the question:

"How do I maintain authority over my security force after 'the event'?" one of the men asked

Article I got that from

It's fine. Scotus will just say that the DOJ doesn't have authority to file lawsuits without express congressional legislation on each individual matter.
