It feels a lot safer to be a pedestrian in Japan. I never saw a driver take precedence for themselves.

Are you sure it’s not that a specific memory is triggered by a certain song?

I’m a Mac user and everyone in my family is too (I use a Linux desktop for work), but I have a hard time believing MacOS has a 25% market share.

It’s 92° F in a port city in Japan today. And humid. Was the user charging the switch 2 when this happened? If an iPhone is overheating I don’t see why a switch would be any different.

Figure it took them 30 years just to take Salman Rushdie’s eye.

It’s bizarre given how explicit the teachings of Jesus are. It’s very clear that many churches are cults following the teachings of man, only nominally accepting the word of God

There was talk of establishing a national ID in the 90s but republicans revolted saying it would be the number of the beast. I guess their principles on the matter depend on whether the beast in question is Trump or Clinton. There would definitely be scope creep for such an ID, much like the SSN. I say just make it a national ID and eliminate the need to register to vote.

That’s not even the funniest part. The purpose of saying cheese is to make the photo subject smile. If they just rolled with queso then they’d be making an o shape with their lips when the photo is snapped.

We don’t have an official language (still technically don’t anyway, Trump’s order only applies to the Executive branch), but we do have an official Spanish language version of the National Anthem.

Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.

The one I had connected to the antenna port on the back of the head unit. Still FM just no longer wireless. I think I had the choice of 5 or 6 stations to broadcast to.

Why?

I feel bad for you. I have a couple avocado trees and we let the avocados stay on the tree until they are ripe. You can’t buy this variety at most stores because they’d get smushed in travel. The avocado is buttery and you can cut the skin with your fingernail. We end up giving them away to visitors because we have so many!

Talking about expanding NATO to include southeast Asian countries. South Korea, Phillipines, or Indonesia, not to create a random proxy war.

Bezos owns the Washington Post not the NYT.

He was convicted for one murder so the serial killing is what he is accused of.

I learn a lot debugging the code I get from AI, and occasionally, I learn a thing or two.

The term is “toe” the party line, but I like “tow” the party line ibecause that’s what Trump is doing. His followers agree to a set of beliefs one day and then he upends the orthodoxy the next, forcing them to take on a new position they would’ve been opposed to earlier. Followers Toe/Trump Tows matching pair like imply/infer.

I like watching YouTube videos explaining the Charleroi metro.
