Imagine if Nick Saban were Ferrari team principal. Just unimaginable chaos and dominance at the same time.

The United States military is the single-largest emitter of CO2 on the planet that is not a nation-state, and it isn't even close when you compare it to second place, which is the Saudi Aramco oil company.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Seriously, I came from rural America but now live in a bigger metro area, and the amount of complaining people from rural America do about big cities is basically unlimited.

A small brown Labrador puppy lays her head on the leg of a much larger, brown lab/pit mix while both are laying on a couch.

So this happened a little bit ago. Midge (the bigger dog) appears to be less-than-thrilled about her situation, but she's starting to come around.

Yeah if anything, reggae is just slow ska.

Ska & pro wrestling are the only true art forms left.

I am not chubby-cheeked, and I got a "bruh" from a cashier a few weeks ago when I told her I was 42. She thought I was under 35. Sometimes you just have the right genetics to look young (but doing good skin care helps).

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

It's real and I'm wondering WHY IS IT REAL? WHO NEEDED THIS?

My wife bends down to attend to our small, brown Labrador puppy outside, who is sitting in the grass in front of her.

The 82nd Airborne Ready Brigade is already on ramp alert for deployment, whatever is on the ground now is small beans compared to what they're planning on.

Anyone who tried doing basic thought experiments on how to engineer a Hyper loop system would figure out within about 5 minutes that it is *physically impossible to do*.

I've always felt they're overrated, but using an air fryer might be the key to changing that position. 🤔

Yes, but hauling a piece of plywood flat inside a station wagon is a death machine waiting to happen because you can't secure it to anything inside the vehicle with straps.

At least in my pickup, I can tie it down (even if at an angle) to prevent that.

Or even just a flat trailer works too.

Yep, and it's all so ERCOT can thumb their noses at the feds over at FERC and NERC. They only have 11 physical connections with the Eastern Interconnect grid, which is not nearly enough for them to buy capacity off the grid for situations like what happened in 2022.
