The ordinance is enforceable through the private enforcement mechanism which has proven its success in both the Lubbock City Ordinance and the Texas Heartbeat Act. This is how the ordinance is enforced,

So: snitching.

I expect he's going to say he didn't mean that he fabricated the story, but instead meant that he "created the story" in the sense of bringing it to the media's attention

Shush you, Venice is magnificent. Wouldn't want to live there but it's an extraordinary place absolutely worth experiencing. Ancient, labyrinthine, palaces and churches everywhere, it's like stepping into the Renaissance.

Reminds me of this dialogue from Ghost World

Enid : You know, we need to find a place where you can go to meet women who share your interests.
Seymour : Well maybe I don't want to meet someone who shares my interests. I hate my interests.

Oh good, the Olympics meets WRC Group B. Lots of dead athletes but it'd be entertaining at least

Pretty much this. I'm quite content with losing some of my net worth if it means other people don't have to struggle as much to have their own place to live.

The Big Lebowski

Everyone's ragging on the Christmas retail ambience songs, but at least you can mitigate the risks of hearing those ones by staying the fuck out of shopping malls. My top three:

  • Cotton Eye Joe
  • Whatever that song is that's basically just "tonight's gonna be a good night" over and over
  • Danza Kuduro

Canada here, how much for just Stowe?

urine is sterile

Not by the time it exits your body, no. Urine is sterile when it leaves the bladder, but it picks up bacteria on its way through the urethra

Motherfucker put a trigger warning on that shit

I'd say Poilievre is a 80% match, Maxime Bernier is 95%

I certainly see your point. That said, devil's advocate, the comment doesn't refer merely to political opponents, but rather:

the most evil people I can think of

Can you honestly say that you wouldn't painlessly snap, let's say, a proven serial child rapist out of existence? I think I'd do it, if for some reason the justice system was unable to stop them.

Woof, thought I was having déjà vu for a minute. Nope, just republicans being republicans, yet again.

Definitely XCOM in my case

It's also kind of a fringe theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_Pont-Saint-Esprit_mass_poisoning

The attribution of the poisoning to the CIA in Albarelli's book has been roundly criticized. Historian Steven Kaplan, author of an earlier book about the events, said that this would be "clinically incoherent: LSD takes effects in just a few hours, whereas the inhabitants showed symptoms only after 36 hours or more. Furthermore, LSD does not cause the digestive ailments or the vegetative effects described by the townspeople."

To be clear: I have no reason to believe that the CIA circa 1951 wouldn't or couldn't pull this kind of stunt, just that the evidence that they in fact did is pretty shaky.

Sssssshhh, there there, it's ok. They're feature phones

Some English brats got there 40 years earlier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies

Don't know if the panelist that kept saying 'pussy' was deliberately baiting her into revealing her hypocrisy, but if they were then fucking bravo.

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Help me out here, I'm having trouble picturing this. Like... a pair of complete, full-size gazelles? Just fastened to the woman's torso? If not, which parts?

Reverse image search says yes

Weirdly enough, I'm much more aware of "The Problem With Music" than any of his actual music

Is IDF even letting foreign journalists into Gaza right now?

At least in Doom they had sense enough to do it on Mars

Yeah, that's fair. Still curved though. In my defense I had it right in my brain, the idea got garbled on its way to the keyboard

Quoth Wikipedia, "Even when at peak magnitude of 2.5, this recurrent nova is dimmer than about 120 stars in the night sky."

The fact that "recurrent nova" is a thing caught me by surprise though, Reminded me of the on/off star from A Deepness in The Sky

Shortstop's the best position they is.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I had pretty much the same experience with the film. I wasn't expecting a scholarly investigation obviously, but I was hoping it would at least be funny (it wasn't) and not mean-spirited (it was).

she chose Detroit over us

Montreal here. Gotta admit, that stings.

Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Zalgo?

The strobe light problem might also be caused by putting a LED that's not dimmer-compatible on a dimmer switch

Didn't know about this. How long are we talking, minutes, hours?

I think it was rated PG-13, not R

In fact it was rated PG. The resulting backlash, along with a similar situation with Gremlins, directly resulted in the MPAA creating the PG-13 rating.

Just to clarify: you want to outlaw rental of residential real estate?

Hang on, am I reading that correctly? You had nightmares for 7 years?
