  • I had a deer trot out of the woods and up close to the shoulder of the road. As I'm pumping the brakes, she's waiting for me to pass while craning her neck to look down the highway, both ways. It was a bit surreal.

  • Nowadays, all you have to do to get your antitrust lawsuits conveniently forgotten is agree to lock down your company's OS and share your data with the US government, like Google.

  • No, they used effect in its verb form correctly.

    effect

    effected; effecting; effects

    transitive verb

    1: to succeed in doing or achieving (something) : to cause or bring about (something) : accomplish

    effect a transformation in company culture

    effected a settlement of the dispute

    … a powerful reminder of the potential of technology to effect change.—Chris Gallagher

    2: to put into operation

    the duty of the legislature to effect the will of the citizens

    … an executive grant of clemency … to effect the prisoner swap.—Eric Tucker et al.<

    English! 😆

    Your point should be that usually "affect" is the verb and "effect" is the noun. I'm having trouble coming up with a mnemonic device, but at least these can be pronounced slightly differently.

  • Lap-top? Oh, you mean the handsy heating pad! =..=

  • Knowing Texas, the settlement of the suit will net nothing for end-users. LG will just have to give Texas surveillance gear for their concentration camps.

  • We might need some new tech instead of shrinking existing tech.

  • As a child, I was actually interested it history; and, as an edgelord, especially interested in gruesome totalitarian regimes. I played a lot of war-themed games, inevitably many had Nazis. Of course the games aren't usually historically accurate but led me to read more about the actual events.

    I had seen the totenkopf decades ago but did not know this was a Nazi symbol until I saw the Mitchell & Webb skit about ten years ago. If you asked me for Nazi logos, I would have come up with the swastika, the SS lightning bolts, and the Adler (which is used by the good guys in the Contra video game series).

    Can confirm, Americans stupid; we were never shown this symbol and now our country is infested with fascists.

  • Billions? Fuck, they might need to get bailed out with taxpayers' money!

  • I'm a large but not huge guy... and if it's a "normal" (not "elongated") toilet bowl, I have to stuff my junk down there, trying to avoid touching the bowl where random others probably have; and then the splashback may be personally affecting me.

    Tiny, low-flow toilets also don't save water when I have to use the plunger and flush four times.

  • they really know their beverage's core brand is just "disgusting, but with alcohol."

    Definitely going for the shock factor. They have advertising posters in bars that read, "Malört, because these pants won't shit themselves!"

  • MFW I think I heard a can open off in the distance.

  • Danny DeVito is still "pitifully" entertaining 50 years later, with his studio producing the longest-running American live-action sitcom.

  • They take their twisted logic and antics to such extremes that it resembles a live-action version of some mid-20th century American cartoons. Same level of slapstick cruelty but the plotlines make it all more premeditated and sociopathic.

    (I laugh hysterically at it, but I totally understand anyone who thinks it's depraved!)

  • Israel Hayom, Miriam Adelson

  • Three years later...

  • Be careful. Facts, logic, and common sense will only get you on a gov't watchlist these days.

  • New printers only come with a sample cartridge, not a full one.

  • Looks like it's not a ripper, just a tagger/identifier for decrypted disc rips.

  • OLD joke:

    Q: What's worse than a "tax-and-spend" Democrat?

    A: A "spend-and-spend" Republican.
