It's a shame his comedy and writing style wasn't QUITE the fit it should have been for the Daily Show, because Trevor Noah is absolutely one of the most observant and brilliant and funny minds of our generation.

Wait, those are hot dogs. Armour hot dogs. What kind of man wears Armour hot dogs?

It's not because the politicians don't "understand" the point of protesting, it's that the bulk of Democrats in office have a specific and active interest in NOT doing a lot of the things that the protesting is trying to move them towards. So they PRETEND that their token fiddling around the edges should be enough and they feign confusion when we rightly criticize their shortcomings. It's all an act, we'll need to drag them kicking and screaming to do better jobs.

Even if it were mold (it's not) you're gonna put it in an oven and it'll be fine. That being said, I wouldn't consider $4.78 a great deal for that amount of pizza, if $10 is absolute bonkers. You can get 4x this much pizza, already cooked, from Costco for that amount.

And this was back BEFORE cameras were in everything. Most of this shit had to have a physical media present in a gizmo larger than your phone, a gizmo JUST for taking pictures. THEN, you had to take it to a store before it expired and get it turned into physical pictures on paper. THEN you could scan that paper into a digital image. And it was totally normal to take those pictures for someone you never met. Right?

Too many words used correctly, that's not him.

Wife's been taking her 150cc scooter to and from work, and that's been GREAT. That little fucker gets almost 90 miles per gallon.

Wuss-ter-sher. With the "wuss" having the same "uh" sound as "book" and "push." "Ter" rhymes with fur and purr. "Sher" also rhymes with the "ter" and fur and purr. Worcester is a real place, I've been there, and the people there say it "Wuss-ter." The "-shire" at the end is pronounced "sher" like in Sherwood Forest. And there are lots of places that have the "-shire" in the name, pronounced like that.

Ah yes, the classic Carmen Sandiego style.

I'm almost wondering if the base product doesn't have an unpleasant aroma on its own, so something sweet and fruity makes sense more as a cover-up. Like how you can get Nair in a strawberry scented version.

Yeah, I do have to note that. I always love how much more consistent this series is, it's got fantastic worldbuilding. But I recognize that DOES make it difficult to pay off EVERY plot element they introduce. We only got that one portal that Maybourne triggered to the moon with the grass that made them crazy.

In 2003, my wife brought home a black little bunny that one of her coworker's had foolishly got for easter. We had that rabbit for 11 years, and he was a great pet. But, I also grew up and we always had guinea pigs, so I think that was a lot of it.

#24 My brother's step-son is one of those Sonic kids. He's like 14 or 15, I think. Like, I remember Sonic from the 90s as being like the "edgier" Great Value version of Super Mario. But I see it, too. Like distilled old-school anime fans (from before, kids are more ok with it now) and furries. Or horse girls. It's weird, and I have no idea where it comes from. And it's scary, because you never know, YOUR kid could be a Sonic kid.

I think this crosses over from being "cute family" stuff to "serial killer" stuff.

Regardless of the stance on the issues, the characters and stories are actually quite good. It's the WORLDBUILDING that sucks. And if you're the kind of person that appreciates a good background world, which is of paramount importance in such an in-depth fantasy like Harry Potter, you realize just how awful it is. NOTHING makes sense, and that's saying something, because magic is normally an EXCUSE for why nothing makes sense. Here, it just makes it even worse.

I grew up in Pennsylvania, and I have NEVER seen corn on a pizza until went to a Cici's in North Carolina. And even there, it was a weird thing, and they knew it.

#21 My friend doesn't understand. Could you explain this one for him?

I mean, I'd still also want a lightsaber. But not just a sword one. I'd want a set for my garage, starting much smaller. I want a regular one for cutting things like bushes and lumber, a chap stick sized one for finer materials, and a pencil sized one for finer mechanical work.

Because most people would kill themselves with it on their first landing. And even if you were GOOD at using it, it would still destroy your knees.

That's domestic. For domestic policy, he thinks he's a king. He doesn't need cover to do things in his Kingdom of America. But for international affairs, that's where his "strongman negotiator" needs to get its ego stroked. He expected Iran to capitulate, and he's mostly CONFUSED as to what's going on that they're not. This is also why he thinks that Ukraine should just give up to Putin, why NATO is redundant, and why capturing the president of Venezuela should have been an easy conquest.

Thing is, the Costco hot dog isn't JUST large and a good value. It's also a very good hot dog. You can get the same ones in a package, and they're even better with a little browning made at home.

The year this happened, my teenage sons Halloween costume was a blazer with fake $100 bills bursting from the pockets, a snorkel and mask, and a PlayStation controller. To the people that got it (most of them) it was a hit.

Friendly robots? Portable lasers? Fallout if we're lucky. So far, I don't think we're lucky, and if we're shopping for post-apocalyptic future worlds, I think we're more in line for The Road.

My first thought on that one, too. Cherries, ketchup, and black pepper do NOT sound like a good combination. But cherry peppers and ketchup very well might work. I almost wonder if this graphic wasn't created by AI because of that.

Porn is one of the few natural uses for generative AI. There aren't many other industries that demand *lots* of things with low requirements for accuracy, reliability, or repeatability, but ALSO that don't have much artistic or creative merit of expressing complex ideas. Financial and tech sectors require math to be ACCURATE, artistic enterprise requires feeling and thought. But porn... It just has to look mostly ok-ish, and have lots of it.

You CAN get regret out of them, but it's almost never REMORSE. They'll feel bad that they got fooled and they made a mistake, and even that's pretty rare. But it's far more rare that they ever reflect on WHY it was a terrible thing. They're still the victim in their fantasy where Trump tricked them.

I'm glad it got a show, because the show is fantastic, but I feel far too few people have seen this movie.

And it's not like 20A GFCI outlets aren't commonly available. I'm thinking, if this were up to code, then the 20A outlet would NOT be through that clearly less-than 20A GFCI, but it's still in a bathroom, which means it would need a GFCI breaker somewhere else. But, back to the original - why not just use a 20A GFCI? It's bizarre, no matter how you spin it.

Ah. I don't recall the Nolan trilogy having Selina with a roommate, but it's also been since the film was still pretty new that I've seen it.

As I understand, it's a very cheap thing to make. The hard work of filming porn is already done, you just need to dub or film a few brief lines of cheap dialog to make a "regular" porn into "incest" porn. There's no special sets or wardrobe of furniture or anything, it's just dialog. So they can reach that extra market (even if it's small) for almost no cost.
