  1. I assume that restaurant only got paid after no small effort on their part.
  2. You mean it's an artistic representation and I shouldn't interpret it literally? That can't be right.
  3. "That's some bad luck right there. When the one guy who would die for you, kills you."
  4. Edit: Nope. Decided to not post about my personal student loans.
  5. The kind of movies that get a lot of rotation on Turner Classic Movies for example. Do you have any? You Can't Take It With You (1938) The Great Dictator (1940) Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book (1942) I Walked With a Zombie (1943) The Flowers of St. Francis (Francesco, giullare di Dio) (1950) The Red Badge of Courage (1951) Pather Panchali (1955) Lust for Life (1956) Friendly Persuasion (1956) Romeo and Juliet (1968) That would be my TCM lineup for the day.
  6. What counts as a paid ad now: some account that, either sincerely or facetiously, claims the US invaded Iraq because it had a Stargate.
  7. It doesn't look like she "just slipped off her horse and landed on her feet".
  8. Encouraging people to injure themselves is bad. Don't do it.
  9. One thing this war has taught me: the U.S. has the best intelligence community in the world. I am reasonably sure top officials in foreign governments are double agents for the US and that we regularly listen in on world leaders' conversations. Understandably, the US keeps that on the down low though.
  10. Earthquakes. Nature's poltergeists.
  11. It was centered in the Elephant Graveyard to the west.
  12. NBC threw the screen to Al Roker to explain. He did fine, but it seemed a little out of his wheelhouse.
  13. I kind of agree with shopping on certain devices that are less used (a laptop versus a smartphone) because it's probably more secure.
  14. Because the U.S. Supreme Court rarely gets involved in individual criminal cases, especially state criminal cases (New York and Georgia here). I don't see how the Supreme Court could ever justify not allowed a convicted criminal serve a sentence that everyone else agrees is correct.
  15. The long-term goal for presidential elections.
  16. After seeing that on my TV, I refreshed Twitter and it was filled with comments like, "WTF is Laura Ingraham doing?!?"
  17. I will never forget the moment I tuned into the 2016 Republican National Convention and pundit Laura Ingraham was giving a speech. It was angry, almost an incitement to riot. She looked like a crazy person on a street corner yelling obscenities. And then, she stops abruptly and turns to her side and waves at someone (I assume people in the crowd). And yeah, it looked just like what you're thinking of. No self awareness whatsoever.
