So are PowerBall and Mega Millions now rigged to make sure that the jackpot always hits $1B before a winner is drawn?

Those flying brain things TERRIFIED me as a teen.

Aren’t those policies pretty normal at comedy clubs?

I used to go to a comedy club in a small city in the Midwest that didn’t allow phones and kicked out hecklers, and when I lived in Arizona the Tempe Improv had the same rules.

Comedians don’t want their material recorded unless it’s for their own use/gain, which makes sense since it’s a TON of work to come up with all of that material.

Yeah, I’d love it if the government would do it, but I just don’t see how that would happen since people have voted this country so far to the right that AOC seems like a radical.

I’ve had the idea for a few years now that Delta or a conglomeration of airlines should invest in passenger rail from these small regional airports to the big hubs.

Phoenix has Sky Harbor in the city proper, and then Mesa Gateway only about 20 miles east. If they could just hook the light rail between the two, you could eliminate the need to fly in and out of the small airport.

In Michigan there are DTW, and then small airports in Lansing, Flint, and Grand Rapids. If Delta built rail along or above the freeways that connect those cities to Romulus (where DTW is), they could probably get rid of their service to those airports entirely.

Oh nooooooooooo

Finished the audiobook of Best Served Cold from Joe Abercrombie. I love the narrator for the audiobook, but this one dragged for me. Just started listening to The Heroes and hope that one drags less so I can get caught back up before I start the Age of Madness trilogy.

In print I’m reading Gamechanger by LX Beckett. I’m not in love with it, but it’s getting interesting enough to keep going. If it doesn’t get better I picked up Sea of Dust from C Robert Cargill at the library as well.

vBulletin was a great platform for the old Straight Dope Message Boards.

I miss that place.

Thank, we’re good and I managed to get a generator this morning. 375k people without power in Michigan this morning due to the storm!
