Cleopatra was born closer to the invention of cellphones than the building of the pyramids

I think the infinite growth part is a big part of the problem: "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell"

Xs gonna give it to ya

If I recall correctly it was a rogue developer that decided to make a fully nude model and put Elliot's head on it. So it isn't a model of his body at the time, but still obviously a pretty big breach of trust.

Also this article was written in 2015 well before Elliot's transition so that why it uses the older pronouns. I'm definitely a big believer in using a person's proferred pronouns but I don't it is "unfortunate" that older things have their old pronouns in them.

Yikes! And $4000 is the sale price. It's $4800 regularly...

There's a French idiom for this: "Avoir l'Esprit d'Escalier" which means "The Wisdom of the Staircase". Basically, you often think of the best thing to say after you left and are walking down the staircase.

Behind the Bastards just recently did a two part story about how The Dilbert Guy lost his mind. It's a great podcast and goes through the whole history of him falling hard for Trump in recent years. Part of it seems to come from a very traumatic health issue where he almost lost his ability to speak. It certainly doesn't absolve him but it kind of explains what pushed him over the edge.

Maybe they are fans of Terrance Howard's new math?

Yep we use placemats in our house. It was the first chore we ever gave to my daughter - to gather up the placemats after dinner and put them away in the drawer. I'm 37 by the way.

There is a logical reason why numbers like 12, 24, and 60 are used in a lot of systems. They are highly composite numbers so they have lots of prime factors which means there are lots more options to break them into whole groups.

They make new gas in the Mad Max universe. In fact the truck in the middle of the picture is a mobile refinery.
