It's so nasty it's probably somewhat of a tragedy

Ok, how did they do this? There's no way the stake was punched through. I guess a drill could be used and then like a sawsall to make the rough edges? But I don't know how you would cut a the pages simultaneously without it becoming a mess of individual tears

"Nationalize Model Railroads" really got me

When I through that lighter at the wall of the empty foundation of a house that was never built in the woods behind my house and it exploded, I finally felt like myself for the first time

Forgive my ignorance, what's the A and the E?

A few years ago, drugs and alcohol. Now, 2 different media streams at once. Marginal improvement

Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.

My coke dealer (I'm sober now) was a huge Trump fan. He loved to talk about it. He first told me the same day Trump said all drug dealers should be put to death, so not the most insightful person. He later fled the country to escape a domestic battery charge. Coke dealers, not great people.

I just quit a job because they lectured me for not staying later than I am scheduled. "John stayed late, and it was his birthday. It just seems like you aren't being a team player." Good for John. I'm going to keep doing what is on the job description and schedule though

This is the injector plate for a liquid fueled Titan II. They went out of service in the 80s iirc. Modern ICBMs use solid fuel, which are much different

I work cleaning and examining aluminum parts. To clean them we use a grit blaster with plastic beads. Most other grit would be too hard to use on aluminum. As such, I regularly breath plastic dust. I embrace my fate. I am a child of the petroleum byproduct. I am a child of the modern era, an unholy chimera of meat and polymer.

No joke, their Dr Pepper imitation is delicious and 10 calories per can.

They also have an iced tea called Death to Billionaires which I appreciate.

He's donated to a lot of small computer museums. Great guy

Nevermind, I just remembered Call of Duty exists

In a lil Cessna banner plane?

From the AP article

The U.S. had not previously addressed concerns with Albanese head-on because it has not participated in either of the two Human Rights Council sessions this year, including the summer session that ended Tuesday. This is because the Trump administration withdrew the U.S. earlier this year.

It's like they are covering their eyes and pretending it isn't happening

On day 3 of an east to west trip on I-90, you cross into South Dakota at Sioux Falls. South Dakota is made up of beautiful rolling small hills and plains as far as the eye can see. You admire these for the first hour or so, but you get used to it. The scenery fades into the background, and the only things that break the monotony are the billboards. Hour 1: Wall Drug,400 miles. Wall Drug 380 miles, Wall Drug free ice water. Wall Drug 350 miles Hour 2: Wall Drug, can't miss! Wall Drug 325 miles Hour 3:Wall Drug,Just 250 miles! Wall Drug, pride of South Dakota. Wall Drug 225 miles ahead! Hour 4 Hour 5 On and on and on, interrupted by the occasional pro-life ad and antique car collection

I left some of my sanity on that road, I place Wall Drug as majority to blame. I could wax poetic about it being a monument to commercialism for the sake of itself, but I won't give it the dignity. I don't care if they have a horse-sized jackrabbit statue you can take your picture riding. I hate it, and I always will

That's kinda awesome

After a long trip through the Dakotas, I despise Wall Drug with all my heart
