Wake up, babe. New antipope just dropped.

We were pretty well domesticated by the time they bothered showing up. Cats wouldn’t put up with our barbaric and unmannered ways before we invented towns.

I’d say dogs/ wolves did their fair share domesticating us as well.

Blue shells are a thicker gauge shell

Ok, but I have to ask, are we raging against the machine that is the system we live in, or the tower on our desktop?

A Google search on “ancient desert water traps” so I could remember who built them

Just maybe don’t practice your Cockney accent while there… The locals seem to hate that accent, for some reason.

In 1990 my father negotiated a new contract for himself, with IBM. He’s a computer programmer consultant that can program in 72 languages including Cobol and Lisp.

The one thing he absolutely insisted upon was that he wouldn’t have to carry a pager. He still refuses to carry a cell phone.

No. I have no idea how that happened. Just someone I know that pronounces it that way

The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an…

While they may weigh the same, the steel will do more damage when dropped.

Most people aren’t really familiar with the history of the world, especially the period of time that would correspond to ≈ 30-50 years before they graduated secondary school. I assume this is because there seems to be a pattern where you just don’t actually catch up to current events in many history classes.

Also expecting the average person in the US to be familiar enough with world events to even know who Nelson Mandala or Narendra Modi are, is a good way to have a bad time. I don’t like it either, but as Carlin said, “think of the average person, now remember that 50% of people are stupider than that.”

The Baha’is use sundown as the end/start point of the day, do with that information what you will

Feathers*, just like modern dinosaurs

Same, but vodka. Gotta watch those excess calories

Failed blind date. They were the other couple.

It’s in my pocket, but I don’t trust cars. Been hit too many times for that. It’s only happened once while being a pedestrian, but that was enough for me, thanks.

I have my phone charging pad in my living room. If I needed an alarm I would use my old clock, but these days I wake up at first light, because I have two furry 75 pound alarm clocks that won’t let me sleep. Previous to fostering them, I would wake up and get up immediately, because I don’t have any entertainment in my bedroom. It makes falling asleep and waking up much easier for me.
