There were so many much better cartoons on Liquid Television, I was really disappointed when they chose to pick up Beavis & Butthead for a series instead of something like Aeon Flux or The Maxx.

Next week I am attending the Oregon Country Fair. It is on land that has been continually inhabited for at least 12,000 years, but the natives were driven off in the last century. Now it is owned and maintained by hippies, but anytime someone digs a hole, there's a good chance they'll find an ancient camas oven or spear point.

Easy. I want an electric car that sounds like The Jetson's flying saucer.

If this is intended to escape a potentially exploding rocket, I would hope the chute would terminate in a bunker, not the open air next to an enormous explosion.

If your work is dependent on the daylight, then just get up earlier! Changing around the clocks is just stupid, and has always been stupid.

Math error. I withdraw my comment.

Recently, some tech-bros throwing a big rave got a deal on the black lights for their stage, and didn't realize they were UV-C disinfectant lights. They ended up blinding a bunch of people in the audience.

Eating seaweed BEFORE a nuclear war is great, as radioactive isotopes of iodine are a common component of fallout, and having a good source of iodine in your diet will prevent the uptake of the radioactive type. Afterwards, I don't know if the seaweed would be safe to eat anymore.

I have only ever heard "Nevada" pronounced wrong once, and that was when Trumplethinskin declared it was supposed to be "Na-VAH-duh."

Erdős did so much math because he also did prolific amounts of meth. His concerned friends challenged him over it, but he insisted that hew could quit anytime he wanted. To prove it, he went cold turkey for 2 months. He then said to his friends, "Are you satisfied? Now you have set back the field of mathematics a whole 2 months!"

I thought we hit 8B last year? I remember hearing a lot of buzz about it. I guess with so many, it's hard to approach an accurate count, so different methodologies would yield different results.

I don't get why people call balloon altitude space. There's obviously still atmosphere there, or the balloon wouldn't have risen that high. You couldn't orbit a satellite there. It's sloppy thinking and sloppy language.

People seem to imagine the homeless are some monolithic block: that they are all meth and heroin junkies with mental health problems who steal everything that isn't nailed down and create huge piles of garbage wherever they camp. That is a small minority that gets disproportionate press because of the problems they cause. Many of today's homeless are the working poor, who have a job but can't afford rent in this economy. In my area, we had devastating wildfires a couple summers back, and whole towns were wiped off the map. That's thousands of people who used to have homes who suddenly don't. There just aren't vacancies for that many. And then the increased demand drives up rental prices, pushing more people out of affordable housing. A minimum basic income is a big help, but we could also do with some regulation of the housing market.

Mom needs to have a serious talk with her kid about the dangers for people of color who call the police. I'm glad this incident didn't go the way of far too many other 911 calls.

Before I read the explanation, I'd already figured out it was a side-scanning camera. Why are people so stupidly superstitious? I would have thought it was a cool pic, and would have been my favorite out of the set, just for it's quirkiness.
