Not possible.

Most manufacturing of things like computer chips (just the chips themselves) require raw materials from all over the world. You can't just use any sand. 10M people is just a little more than the population of NYC.

Amateur. I've been experiencing physics for nearly 14 billion years.

In the air shows around here, they used to have a semi truck with some rockets strapped to the back that they'd race against a fighter jet.

The jet would come in low and when it crossed the starting line, the truck would take off from it.

The truck usually won.

Air shows might be big oil and military propaganda (that truck was owned and sponsored by Shell, iirc)...but damn if it wasn't cool as hell.

I don't know why but I thought that said "Archie" instead of "Arthur", and read that as Archie and Edith Bunker....and it kind of worked. From the later seasons, when Edith was getting sick of his shit.

Even Trump loved ranting about his stock market.

Stock markets are just one measure though. Just like you don't know the weather by just looking at a thermometer, you don't know the economy by just looking at the stock market.

Fake news. No right wing community would have a municipal sausage grinder. That's socialism, yo.

Well, I guess ultimately that's up to the courts to decide.

My God...how do you drive around in a school bus as a smoker and not smoke for the entire route. That's gotta be one of the most stressful jobs around, right up there with bomb squad technician. The shit you guys have to deal with.

As a parent of two kids...one loud and high-energy, the other a prime target for bullying...I appreciate what you do.

Also, I have 9 chickens and they are awesome. I keep wanting to take one to the bus stop on my shoulder like a pirate.

It's hard to tell, some days, if our memories are sepia-toned, or nicotine-stained.

Doesn't seem like quite that long ago that grown-ass men were counting the hours until the Olsen twins turned 18.

Not sure if a double-standard, or a change in the times.

It's because kids these days don't smoke cigarettes. They really do make you look older.

Vapes and pouches just don't do it the same. You need the tar.

This is my true fear.

Like...Trump makes W look good. He's now got this public image of a slightly daffy uncle. Like 2000-2008 were just "Earnest goes to the Whitehouse". As if he's as dangerous and malicious as Mr. Bean.

By extrapolating from there...there's gonna be someone that is gonna make Trump look good.

 

The bumper...I don't know what it's called...that little clip with the snow that fades in and reveals the logo.

It's terrible.

For one, a lot of people actually don't know what TV static is. Analog broadcasts stopped almost 16 years ago, and before that, most younger people had cable.

For another, static is really difficult to compress. It looks horrible and consumes way too much bandwidth for just a couple of seconds that won't even load right. If anything, they should cache a local copy of the bumper in-app in a format that doesn't look like ass when every pixel changes every frame.

 

While $1m USD in 1988 is worth only $2.6m in 2024, if they just put it in the S&P 500 back then and left it there, it'd be worth over $44.6m today.

I don't know if the Dijon ketchup is really worth it.
