Where did I imply it’s bad?

Shouldn’t official government websites be only concerned about the people actually employed at them and decision makers?

based on their collective actions for centuries, don’t deserve it.

Found the war criminal.

The War Prayer, a prose poem by Mark Twain.

I was gonna say that this was my favorite all-in-one, but then I remembered the mouse. And the keyboard is removable, so that’s, like, 2½ pieces?

On the other hand, some people blow their tops when I match singular they to singular verb forms. I think people just like getting angry.

How will that help? By some studies, about 30% of traffic on downtown city streets is drivers circulating looking for street parking. With self-driving cars, they could cause congestion by circulating all day instead of parking.

For fun, here’s a link to the 10,000-year clock, built by The Long Now Foundation. The level of modern engineering, and planning, that it takes to build a clock that will operate for 10,000 years is fascinating. When you stop to think about, say, the trope of a mechanism that will slide back a 20-ton rock door reliably after 2,000 years is quite ridiculous.

Take a look at the works of David Sedaris. Those fit the description, and are funny.

I just learned recently that he actually died from the COVID-19 vaccine. That’s what caused his neck to that.

Indeed, never try to outrun a bush fire. Stand your ground, make yourself look big, and intimidate it by staring it down.

Hey, is this the 500/10 guy?

Moving regime officials into quarters on military bases. They clearly have… plans.

If it makes you feel better to believe that, go ahead. For my part, I think it’s a pretty obvious truth that when the government makes an open-access highway for everybody to use, everybody is going to use it, even in ways you may not like. Especially when it makes driving the fastest and most convenient way to get around. (Making driving on the highway faster than public transit requires lots of infrastructure, and was a deliberate policy choice.)

For 15 years I lived in an apartment with the bathroom shelves directly above the toilet. It’s a corollary of Murphy’s Law that anything dropped in the bathroom somehow will land in the toilet bowl. Hence, the lid stays closed.

You might think, but a couple of weeks ago, uhh, a friend was sitting on the toilet at work when m…, I mean his equipment retracted and shot a stream of urine over the rim, which fortunately(?) was contained by his pants and underwear. Reportedly, he had to drape them over the vents in his urine-smelling office until they were dry enough so that he could go home and change clothes.

So there you have your answer as to why she’s on the highway to begin with! Anyway, good public transit would help with the traffic congestion, too.

The other drivers could also take those different roads, too, and avoid the slow driver, no?

Maybe your local government could do proper planning so that convenient and timely public transit would offer her a viable alternative to driving? Let’s not blame individuals for systemic problems.
