You are never in traffic, you are traffic.

And that essentially ended his swimming career. He brought up almost twice that many but they didn't all survive....A true hero.

The first refrigerators were made by the Frigidaire division of GM (first car with A/C also). Note that in the UK a vacuum cleaner is typically called a hoover (but this may change to Dyson over time).

Very sweet, but they should probably close her window.

Nice but not true. Look it up on snopes (can't post urls in comments): 'soldier carrying donkey' is from the Algerian war in 1958 and the donkey was too weak to walk and was being rescued.

And I hope you return the favor, thank them for welcoming her into your life, say how great she is for you and for them, and how much better life is now with her in it for you all.

Do you mean the Man-a-tea?

lb looks like 1 b. So yeah, one bean.

Time to read Officer Buckle and Gloria.

And the reason we all don't speak German these days is that Russian rail uses a different gauge and the German army could not just roll straight on through in WW2.

Looks like he's seen some shit in his short time on earth.

Having no insurance and saving that $500 a month is good economics until you actually have something happen. My son needed a month in the icu. Covered the deductible and copay maximum in a few hours or maybe minutes. By the time he got out our insurance had covered a few hundred K. My house has never burned down but fire insurance still seems like a reasonable thing to have.

Honey, I'm going to Home Depot to pick up some. . . .aaah, forget it. I'd need a truck.

Hey, I'm a guy, I wear pants, I have a great ass and am not afraid to show it off.
Well, had.
Well, thought I had.
Well, someone being nice once said I had.
Oh, fuck it. I'm gonna buy a skirt.

And let's not forget Joe Mode:
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced some details on V10’s “Joe Mode” earlier this year while replying to numerous followers who speculated about what new features will be coming to be new update. As one follower asked for a mode that would help keep his children asleep during drives, Musk replied with introductory information about the V10 feature.
Hoping to get “Joe Mode” into V10. The default, of course, is normal volume, but selecting “Joe Mode” would lower the volume of strident beeps & chimes by half.

Umm . . . greatest generation, not boomer.

I brought my cats in to work one day (had a batch of kittens to find homes for, the parents came along for the fun) and one cat jumped into the lap of someone in for an interview. He was terrified: was this part of the intereview? Should he be surprised? Stake out his space? Say how much he liked cats? But all he did was look nervous (and not get offered a job).

Yes but: Nightvale reference.

This says nothing. One of the two non-Asian rivers might (not saying it does, but the post didn't say anything either) account for 90% of the plastic. . . . I truly hate bullshit statistics that could easily be made to make a clear point. Say 80% of the plastic waste is from Asia, if it is.

Did anyone read the bumpersticker? it's the mayor.

Schmuck on a truck?
Data crawler on a hauler?
High net worth on a Kenilworth?

Also quite the pilot.
