I’ve seen similar price hikes here in Minneapolis. There’s a very popular restaurant serving mocktails for $15.50. It’s common to see a $18 burger with no fries. I’m certain it’s not unique to Minneapolis, but I’ve been to NYC and Paris recently and was shocked at how affordable the restaurants were. Either restaurant owners are conspiring to price-fix, or they’re following other industries and raising prices “because they can.”

I assume you know about transdermal patches, and that you just mean the powder form can’t be absorbed through the skin like the cops often claim.

Plexiglas tents? To cook them faster?

I can’t do what [AOC] does because we live in a purple state, and I’m a pragmatist

“It’s pragmatic for me to avoid making my Republican donors upset.” What an idiot.

The submarine owner/grifter may have deserved it, but the sub was also carrying a child who was only there as a Father’s Day gift. And honestly, I don’t know much about the dad, but if his sin was being rich enough to charter a submarine I don’t consider that an automatic death sentence.

Give the guy some credit. He also got humiliated, smothered and face-cranked by Khabib. He may be a loser, but he’s versatile.

I groan every time they announce he’s on the commentary team. It’s clear he doesn’t actively watch the sport anymore, and he simply can’t avoid hyperbole.

Brilliant.

Oh boy I thought it meant something else! Updating my comment.

Part of the magic for me is that for years after its release it was so weird and mysterious. Was Tommy Wiseau in on the joke? Who the hell is this guy, where is he from, and where did he get the money to finance this? I don’t normally care about so-bad-they’re-good movies, but The Room is such a treat.

Went to the bathroom for 3 minutes, came back and my co-worker had been arrested for gooning joggers that morning public masturbation.

EDIT: This guy would park his car, start jerking off, then ask women for directions. That morning someone recognized him, and he freaked out and drove away. He got sober after that and turned things around.

I learned about torchiere style lamps a few years ago and I really like them. You’ve seen them before. They’re usually floor lamps and they point upwards to bounce the light off the ceiling. Unless you have a dark ceiling, they do a great job of spreading the light around the room without being too bright.

Smart bulbs are, of course, more customizable, but recently I’ve gone back to analog lights I can just turn on and off.

How else would they keep the price at $60? To be serious, though, I haven’t played it and maybe it’s worth it.

What’s your problem? If you had a financial windfall that meant you could retire, are you saying you wouldn’t?

I guess it’s good they acknowledge the need for an exception to the law, but even in the case I described it sounds like the person in danger would be waiting even longer to have their case reviewed. That said, I don’t know how long the process normally takes anyway, or if a name change is a viable protection from domestic violence.

Fuck this bullshit. And as usual, anti-trans laws don’t just hurt trans people. Anyone changing their name to escape abuse or domestic violence would have to broadcast their new information to the public.

Does India have a higher rate of violent sex crimes compared with other countries, or have I been propagandized? I don’t want to be the guy who says, “WTF is happening over there?” so I’m curious if something is, indeed, “happening over there.”

Was I not supposed to roll joints with this stuff when I was 18?

My parents were Catholic, so they never talked about sex per se. My “talk” was my dad saying, “I want you to remember to always respect women. And that means not doing anything inappropriate.” Very informative.

I had the same thought. How were they calling it a bomb after like 5 days? Keep it in theaters long enough for word-of-mouth to spread and things would be different.
