  • The federal Bureau of Prisons has lots of problems. Reopening Alcatraz is now one of them.

  • he uses big knock-off Sharpie markers that are undoubtedly made in China with his name on them. It is not the same power move as Kevin O'Leary, AKA Mr. Wonderful, who is regularly seen waving around expensive fountain pens on his show.

    A nice fountain pen feels good to hold and use. Thought goes into shaping the letters and picking out ink is a lot of fun. The same just can't be said about a cheap gaudy marker, especially when it's user has pants and a head full of shit.

    Anyway the point I'm trying to make is the guys who designed Alcatraz probably didn't sign their names and important documents with Sharpies. The guy trying to bring it back is approximately 2 degrees away from smearing shit with his finger on paper for all I care.

  • Amid its worst ever crisis, Tesla offers discounts on its best-selling car just weeks after new Model Y launch

  • The only reason I'd be caught driving a tesla is if it had a completely true bumper sticker that said "I bought it after he blew his brains out."

  • Illinois is the Prairie State. Rockies are far west, much closer to the west coast, and Appalachians are to the east. There is the Fox River Valley about an hour west of Chicago but a river valley is not mountains at all. The biggest change in elevation you'll see in most of Chicago is highway on/off ramps and the train going from the subway to elevated tracks. There is at most a staircase to go from downtown city streets to Lake Michigan(Great Lakes). Sometimes that staircase is just a pedestrian bridge to walk over or under Lake Shore Drive to the lakefront.

    There's an area north of the airport(northwest side) that is unusually flat and is a meteor crater under 100ft of sediment called the Des Plaines Disturbance. It is a 2-280 million years old meteor crater and the informational sign for it features a picture of the much more famous Meteor Crater located in Arizona(worth a visit). The Des Plaines crater is not famous enough to be pictured on it's own sign and probably unknown to most people living in it.

    That said, Chicago metro area certainly isn't known for natural hills. A sledding hill in nearby Evanston is called Mount Trashmore because it was formerly a landfill. Walter Payton trained on an old landfill. If you're on a hill and can see Chicago it's probably an old landfill.

  • Remember when Sobe bottles were glass and had the manufacturing weak point near the bottom you could smash out with a nail and a rock? They made excellent steamrollers.

  • What is this specific kind of sheet called?

  • Was the pyramid scheme selling the sheets?

  • just hit me with a nuk-U-lar bomb and put me out of this already

  • I listen to a lot of Knowledge Fight which is a podcast that covers and tears apart Infowars. I've heard Alex Jones say a lot of names to which I don't care to put a halloween mask face to.

  • Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'

  • Is Joe Schmoe going to have to answer for his shitbox that just plowed through a school zone with an unusual number of speed bumps? Joe hasn't even met his vehicle yet and it's gonna be out there committing crimes potentially under his name.

  • This dog shit comic being spammed on *eddit was a good reason to leave that shithole

  • John Brown was based

  • He will forever be coming for bad boys with unknown motives and wants in my book.

  • Y’know, the thing about him, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes.

  • Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims

    Jump

  • It is weird that he probably saw Danny DeVito rolling back the odometers in Matilda while in a K hole and misconstrued the whole situation. That scene of Danny with the drill taking thousands of miles off an old beater probably seemed like a jackpot idea in that drug addled mind of his.

  • I left reddit because it is far too common to see this dog shit comic on or near the front page

  • What's a great video game musical piece that's good listening to over a cup of coffee?

    Jump

  • Tim Follin makes good music. Try the NES Pictionary theme song and if you like that Solstice theme song will blow you away.

  • What was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?

  • My handwriting turned around after I got a fountain pen. I went from doctor to pre-med handwriting. Having to think more about how to form the letters has me taking my time. No need to rush when I'm writing with a fancy pen full of cool ink.

  • What are your favorite sleeping shows?

    Jump

  • Trailer Park Boys has a very relaxing theme song. I've had many nights watching it where the theme just puts me to sleep and I have to go back multiple episodes to pick the thread back up the next day. It's not always a calm show but the theme song could open for Bob Ross.

  • It took longer than I would care to admit to realize that isn't Michael Richards.
