She is, without a doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of.

Yes, that is the point, Tesla.

Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.

Thank you for indirectly leading me to discover the book title "The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England". Even if I never work my way to finding out anything further about this corner of literature, that title certainly tickled me.

Not me! I intend to be just as much a lurker as I was on Reddit!

Between the walruses and the orcas, nature might just manage to restore balance.

"Jews were already genocided once" Right, I forgot that gave them the right to commit one free genocide themselves.

(/s, in case that wasn't clear)

The people who put this up are not paid enough to risk challenging anybody on this. They're not crazy, they just need money to survive. Their bosses, on the other hand... Yeah, I don't know. It's amazing that it can make it through as many hands as it must have and nobody says "Are you sure?" Or maybe they did and they just kept being shut down.

If only. If only self scan was the only way this came up in my life I would be so much happier.

And the infinity symbol is likely related to the analemma, the shape the sun traces out over the course of a year.

I mean, he is wrong about there not being things in place to protect prisoners, but he's not wrong that it's still dangerous and the conditions aren't great. Guards have killed inmates before with no real consequences.

The store I work at had a really good house brand flavour called espresso almond fudge. When the packaging changed, the name did too, and it's never been on as good a sale again due to a lower price set also being introduced, so I don't know if it's the same anymore, but I loved it. It was similar to the Chapman's cappuccino, but with chocolate covered almonds mixed in. God I hope for a good sale again.

I think with your bikes example, one of the factors is also that riding a bike is considered one of those fundamental skills in our society. You learn it early and internalize the rules of the machine. When bikes were knew, we absolutely had more tolerance for risk, so we didn't really care that people were getting hurt learning the ropes, and now that it's a staple we take for granted that people will be guided early on by more experienced riders. That's just not the case for something new. There isn't the widespread understanding of the device or any early training. It also helps that a bike is mechanical, so it's a bit easier to predict than something electronic, and of course the difference in safety standards now vs when bikes were new. So yeah, if bikes were just becoming a thing, we probably would feel different about their level of safety.

But I agree that anyone who wouldn't wear a helmet on one of these probably doesn't have much to protect up there anyway or is a literal child.

Null null null null null? Null.

Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.

Well, I've never particularly cared for sports, either, so this improved my opinion of exactly nobody.
