They'd have been alright in 2009.

Prove me wrong: Fine art is a money laundering scheme.

You get some guy who went to art school to slosh some house paint on a sheet. You then hire a white woman who dresses like Malian royalty to come describe it in contradictory adjectives "It's subtle, yet bold" while her gay sidekick in a turtleneck flamboyantly slaps his face and gasps. Sell $20 worth of cotton and $30 worth of Valspar for $3.247 million, and you've just successfully covered up the sale of 94 more brown women.

That was my first thought, a tide pod also rapidly dissolves in sea water, we shouldn't be dumping those in the ocean though.

I find the amount of terminal usage a given distro requires depends mostly on the DE. Gnome is allergic to features so you'll need to bash it more than KDE or Cinnamon, for example.

There was a time that Ubuntu was the distro for the masses! Their branding featured a bunch of diverse young people in casual clothing. That's no longer the case. I outright recommend against it now.

There are some tech circles where you'll get more and better help posting a blatantly wrong solution than if you straight ask for help.

It's been ages since I've actually gone through it but what I remember of it, it goes like this:

• Roseline, the chick Romeo has the hots for, has just come out as asexual. He's not taking this well.
• To cheer him up, his buddies suggest crashing a big party at the Capulet house tonight. Romeo tags along.
• While moping at the party, he encounters Juliet. The two of them hit it off HARD, they both like Blink 182 AND Evanescence, what are the odds?
• Problem: They're respective fathers have some unspecified feud, so when it comes out just who each other are, it's a problem.
• We get a scene where Romeo is in the back yard and Juliet is in her bedroom looking out the window, two back to back speeches about "(s)he's hot, it's a shame our dads hate each other.
• They decide to run off to Vegas and get hitched anyway.
• The parties get separated, and then there is a compounding series of "a thing has happened!" "I know! I'll make it look like I've done something drastic for some damn reason, and I'll send a messenger to tell the other party that I haven't really done that." "A thing has happened, and the messenger carrying a message that would completely inform your decision hasn't arrived yet." "I know, I'll do something drastic for some damn reason!"
• This ends in the two fathers standing over an almost literal pile of corpses to include the titular teenagers, trying to remember what they were even fighting about in the first place.
• Roseline is unscathed.

Moral of the story: Latency is just as important as bandwidth.

Thing with Shakespeare plays is there's no one alive today who has met anyone who was alive to see a play at The Globe. The scripts we have are just people's lines and the bare minimum stage direction. There's a lot of information missing, and you can interpret it in many ways.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone interpret Hamlet's To Be Or Not To Be speech as a mentally disturbed 20 year old stomping down a hallway muttering to himself under his breath; it's always either this huge proclamation or a weirdly wistful thing. And then, immediately after, two interpretations of the Blasting Ophelia section simultaneously: with and without Hamlet noticing the king and company watching.

It still narrows it down to about 1/8th of the Earth's surface area.

Yeah even "near Antarctica" narrows it down to the South Atlantic, South Pacific and South Indian oceans.

Basically the only thing that help my headaches is caffeine. But that's probably a me problem.

first that I used was an IBM PS/2 dual booting OS/2 and Windows 3.1. first that was actually mine was a NEC made Windows 98 laptop.

I used a Dbrand skin for awhile.

I'm not convinced OTC pain meds do anything, especially Tylenol.

when my cat is being a little too impatient while I'm givong her her dinner, I tell her to calm all six of her tits. hasn't worked once but I find it funny.

Elaborate?

Oh I should mention: each state has its own government as well, the exact shape of that government varies state to state but many states also have a two-house legislature and the upper house is usually called the senate. For example, the North Carolina General Assembly has a senate and a house of representatives. "My father is a senator" could also mean that, though "US Senator" would imply the federal government.

Do NOT stop to talk in doorways.

There's a somewhat obscure Robin Williams vehicle called Club Paradise. Critics panned it but it's a favorite in my family, we quote it all the time.

"Mr. Gundy: As the official represenatative of Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Second, I order you to withdraw at once or I shall be forced to shoot you between the eyes with a rather large bullet." -Peter O'Toole

Kung Pow is the world's best example of a transformative work. It took some obscure kung fu film, and fucked it up in all the right ways.
