Oh my god! Elon is Zorg! How did I never see that?!

People say this all the time and it’s nonsense. The amount of delta V required is too large. Just launch them far enough to leave earth’s orbit and after that who cares? Russell’s Teapot becomes Russell’s Billionaire and everything goes back to normal.

When asked for comment on its lack of tourism resources, the City responded, “we made a tourism video in the 90s. I don’t understand what else you’re expecting.”

Everything will be fine unless someone shows him an active torrent of The Apprentice and explains he doesn’t get paid residuals if people watch it that way.

Being the best you can be implies resisting temptation for junk foods. He liked his tattoo but the second he was tempted, the tattoo’s advice went out the window. He either covered it up to hide other people from seeing it while he eats a donut, or he’s hiding the tattoo itself from seeing and judging him.

I had to read it like 5 times because I thought there was a dirty undertone.

"How impressed everybody is" is the basis of money, law, self-worth and our models of reality.

Can you expand on that some? On the surface, it doesn’t match my experience at all.

Ford F-x50 pickup? Check.

Some ridiculous manly Edition, like Raptor Edition or Avalanche Edition? Check.

Small bed that can’t even hold a sheet of plywood? Check.

Extended cab that can’t even hold seat at least 8 people? Check.

It is clean, undamaged, and clearly not used by the owner for hauling anything? Check.

That’s not a pickup truck. It’s an antivaxer minivan.

First post the post, I guess. I’m told all the other options are too difficult for people to understand, apparently.

You got sentenced because a tree branch fell and damaged a fence? Sentenced to what? By whom?

I love that the key point of outrage is that they replied with AN EMAIL.

Maybe he just ran out of the paper towels Trump threw at him the last time he was in PR. Now he had a spill to clean up and he’s finally mad.

 

YSK there's an app called CNV CityFix you can install on your smartphone that allows you to review and report issues in your area that the city should address.

Every once in a while I'll see some egregious graffiti, dumped trash, tree debris blocking a path, etc. More often than not, someone has already reported the issue in the app and the City is aware of it and adds it to their list. Within a few days (or less), a crew with the right equipment comes out and addresses it.

Being able to snap a photo and send the location to the city to put it on their radar is great for both parties. The city gets quality reports about issues quickly, and residents have a low effort way to get them dealt with.

You can also search for reported issues nearby, and there's often laughs to be had at people's descriptions of their perceived problems, or particularly witty ways people describe legitimate issues.
