I’m going to start skipping any article with the word slam in the headline. It’s low effort B.S. that is destroying our language.

Sounds like an adventure!

Custer’s Revenge for the Atari 2600. I play this game exclusively.

Across the sky

Is a frunk a front trunk, or is that a typo?

He looks like an AI prompt for “douchebag billionaire”.

Last time I came into some local blueberries the grocer called the cops on me.

Those look delicious though.

ICQ may be going away but that message sound effect will continue living rent free in my brain until I’m dead.

You sure it’s not 18/Jawa/Tatooine?

The carbon credit system is designed to make companies responsible for emissions to pay money to companies who are reducing emissions. It’s a financial incentive to produce less emissions AND on the other side, a financial incentive to invest in green tech.

Using your metaphor…if you stopped cheating on your wife you could avoid spending ten grand on wife cheating credits. That’s a financial incentive to stop cheating on your wife. So many people will stop cheating on their wives. Meanwhile, people who were thinking about cheating on their wives could instead collect ten thousand bucks for being faithful. So…many of those people won’t cheat on their wives.

Get it now?

Surprised I had to scroll this far down for Psycho Fox. That and Wonder Boy 3.

Shannon Martin says just shake the battery and you’ll get AC.

Sure, you might have to wheel around a super heavy cart full of batteries …but think of the CONVENIENCE of not having to charge your phone!

Same thing happened to me with a Tim Hortons bagel. Border guards with small dicks having a power trip. The best part? The question on the computer was "are you importing any xyz...". I was not importing it, I was eating it at the airport. Still had my Nexus taken.

"reach Mars at breakneck speed" - great choice of words there.

That's a fun memory with your mom. With parents like that, how did you grow up to be an angry seal?

Add some kielbasa

36% are over 25.

It's an imperfect solution. VPNs are an issue - and even if you don't use a VPN, the API only knows the location of the ISP's servers - which can be in a different state.

My point was that, the law should leave tax inclusion in pricing as optional. There is no way to implement automatic detection cleanly, other than prompting the user to confirm their location, which is a huge annoyance - so the 'tax inclusion' rule would not make things better or more convenient.

I'd rather see prices without tax, than have to enter my zip code before I can see any pricing for anything online.
