  • My Physics professors literally wore pocket protectors, with pens in them. They were also both ultra-marathoners which is surprisingly common among that species.

  • Tattoos are so incredibly common now (and have been since the '90s) that it's hard to imagine even the parents of a 20-year-old not having some themselves.

  • I didn't know there was such a thing as a dead Charlie Kirk tree, but I do like the shade.

  • An under-appreciated aspect of the insurance industry is the fact that there is typically a multi-year lag between the collection of premiums and the payout of claims. Insurance companies invest the premiums in the meantime and profit off the returns. This allows them (in some cases) to be profitable even when payouts exceed premiums. As a result, not only are health insurers not troubled by rising costs, they actually benefit from rising costs because the premiums rise at the same time.

  • during Obama’s first term

    Lol this was just about the first thing Clinton tried to get done in 1993. It's one of the things that led to the creation of Fox News.

  • Not everybody. Some of us just die instead.

  • He (King George V) would have done it (in 1911). Asquith (the Prime Minister) told him that his father (King Edward VII) had promised to do it before his death in 1910 and King George assented. Asquith actually prepared lists with hundreds of names on them.

  • I think in Rush Limbaugh's case the trick is to make sure he stays dead. Dead Rush Limbaugh is the best sort of Rush Limbaugh.

  • The British House of Lords used to hold the same sort of power with their ability to veto anything passed by the House of Commons. The House of Commons took this veto power away, but unfortunately they were only able to do this by getting the King to threaten to ennoble hundreds of new people and overwhelm the power of the traditional Lords. Our (US) current King would of course never agree to any such thing.

  • Actually a good sport to only require a two-year prenup. Rush Limbaugh made his "wives" sign ten-year prenups and being married to Limbaugh has to be worse than being married to the Dilbert dude.

  • I could easily do it but my bladder has other plans.

  • I went the grocery store today and was very good about not buying any snack junk. On the way out I encountered those demons from the depths of hell known as "girl scouts".

  • Spend a half hour watching Fox News and you can see the alternate reality that magats are living in. My personal exposure to Fox News is an occasional accidental glance at the TV screens at the gym and even just from that it's obvious what's going on.

  • Slightly negative poll numbers + strongly-worded letter = REVOLUTION!

  • I'm a school bus driver and I drive across multiple freeway overpasses each day. On most days these have protestors with temporary signs up on the fences facing the highway traffic. The problem is I have no idea whether they're pro-Trump or anti-Trump since I only see the backs of the signs. One time I could make out "Jan. 6" on one of the signs (this was on January 6th, natch) but I don't know whether they were remembering the good old days or not.

  • Scrum

  • their company has refused to read or implement one or several of the fundamental principles

    The companies I worked for just kept doing shit the same way they always had but renamed everything with terms borrowed from agile.

  • My favorite approach to team processes was to work entirely alone and do everything by myself.
