As a Californian I can say our state has the will and the means to resist the worst of what’s happening. Arguably this puts a target on our back, but of anywhere in the country I feel safest here.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think basketballs fit in those /s.

Some kind of Abyssal demon?

Is there a solution to this? It’s been bothering me more recently since my wife bought me a nice pillow

Funnily enough my fabric softener is transparent and my dishwasher detergent is fully opaque.

I buy myself time by saying “what’s the word for…” and by the time I’ve said that, or perhaps because I primed my brain for it, I immediately remember, and finish by asking what the word for the word I’m thinking of is, which ends up confusing more people than if I hadn’t tried to remember the word at all.

The survey they cite has Bernie at 12%, so I’m not sure what method they did to allow for more than 100% - maybe you could choose more than one answer?

Yeah I work in medical fraud detection, and I think it’s wild that if you only steal a few hundred thousand you buy a car and then get caught and sent to jail, but if you steal orders of magnitude more you get to be governor and then senator of Florida.

The day I turned 29 all of my joints started hurting forever.

I really thought this was an elaborate Saddam hiding meme

Maybe we should lend less credence to a law making certain people illegal that was passed while the Nazis controlled Germany.

I feel very confident in my understanding of random 8 bit CPUs and their support chips, but asking me to center a div is like this xkcd.

I had a fake credit card account opened for me by Wells Fargo. It caused me to accidentally transfer money to the wrong account (from savings to the credit card), so I tried moving the -$10 from the credit card to my checking account, and then I was charged a cash advance fee, and then an overdraft fee. The class action settlement money didn’t even cover one of the fees 🙃

What kind of city uses the same paint pattern to represent both separate lanes and opposing traffic??? I hope the wolf sets things straight.

The guy on the right has a negative score, so final jeopardy can’t have happened yet (in my interpretation anyway). I went about the math a little differently and tried finding ways for both of them to score above 52k and could not. I might post an exhaustive search of all possible scores, because why not.

Fun fact, their scores are actually impossible for the era the cartoon was drawn.

I don’t know enough about eyeballs to be able to answer, but 5 leagues is a bit more than 5x farther than eagles can see, and eagles already have larger pupils than humans do.

I like to think of myself as what would happen if a man and a woman had a baby.

Very few roads in California have tolls.
