Both.

Thiel explained that he believes the Antichrist will present itself as an advocate for regulation, pushing to slow technological and scientific progress in the name of safety

Holy necrostream! I haven’t thought about this show in a while until the post last week about Patinkin and now this!

Great show, I enjoyed it way back when.

Influencer = just some guy. If he was close to you, go have your own moment of silence.

Yes. If you avoid the mass marketed junk food and chain restaurants, you can find some delicious and unique cuisine almost anywhere.

Personal experience, yes. I’ve biked trails in all conditions and only had any trouble on one of them. It had snowed a bunch, thawed, froze again, and then rained. I could still generally bike around and never fell, but didn’t have enough traction for the short steep climbs found on trails.

Studded tires make this a non issue.

Yeah mass produced garbage is garbage, but there’s good food outside of that. 3-4 distinct bbq styles all great in their own right. Clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. NY pizza, Detroit Pizza, Chicago Pizza and hot beef sandwiches. Biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, fried okra. Blackened seafood, crawfish boils, jambalaya, beignets. Where I’m at, smoked fish, wild rice, and pasties.

Do we have meter cola?

In the cat and mouse game, sex always wins. Nudity will, uh, find a way.

Maybe a government run service that reads your unique identifier and provides a simple adult:yes/no to the website. That takes the burden off the sites and keeps personal identification info in a publicly owned system.

Did you measure servings? A big Forgetting Sarah Marshall bowl is gonna wreck your GI.

I eat 1-2 servings at most and weigh them and I’ve never had a problem. It is nice to have something relatively healthy that mimics sweet cereal once in a while.

Shoot I had some that were 4 to 16 MB. Might still have in a drawer?

My favorite was a tiny steel one that was 32 MB. Tough as nails and small enough to keep in a back pocket.

If so, this magical median voter is so poorly informed that they are not worth your time.

It’s a rat race. If you don’t, someone will and you lose.

Yep it’s the return shipping that gets you. I order from REI but the closest store is 2 hours so I go 1-2x a year. Often my orders have free shipping but return shipping is prohibitively expensive. This keeps me from buying some things from their online store, either waiting to go in person or ordering it somewhere else. Or most likely, paying a bit more to get something similar locally.

This reminds me of the time I played the first half of “Please play this song on the radio” on the college radio station.

This reminds me of Mr. Bean.

And detrimental to everything structural made of metal.
