@catseye3 said in Ecocide: Ask the life forms in and around the Everglades. The people there love it. It has taken many years to fix the mess (ecocide) that the previous inhabitants left behind. But it has been worth it.

Could the side effects be worse than the disease? Hard to imagine.

Bumpity.

I did something wrong, as the inner tube blew the tyre clean off the rim. It made a hell of a noise, but seems undamaged - which is more than I can say for the inner tube. Maybe the rim pinched it? You really gotta push the tube into the tire to make sure the rim doesn't pinch it once you seat the tire. Mine aren't at all flexible in that area so I really gotta shove it in there. The sad part was there was a 2 minute delay after I pumped the tyre up before the loud bang occurred - just enough time for me to say to Mrs. Phibes ,'See, I told you wasn't completely useless at this stuff....' I cannot count the number of times I have completely, utterly, thoroughly lost my shit on the side of a road due to a problem that I didn't know how to solve at the time, but now I consider no big deal because it's happened so often by now.

Would an HR AI bot be described as an arse technica?

Bump for @Rainman

@89th said in Chain Failure. Eating it. Singlespeeds.: @aqua-letifer said in Chain Failure. Eating it. Singlespeeds.: So I got Aniki, my single speed out. He needed his tires pumped up. That's it. No rust, cables are fine, wheels are still nearly perfectly true, quiet as a mouse. I absolutely love singlespeeds. Aniki is the shit. Dude I remember riding it one time, it was SO awesome. Also, glad you didn't die today. That too. You did indeed! I dunno how hilly Minnesoooooota is but I can still get away with one gear here. The DC area's got literally the one hill.

@george-k said in If this is true, we're f'ing brilliant!: Could this finally explain why that classmate who BS-ed their way through an exam often scored higher than those who actually studied? Maybe in a journalism or psychology exam.

All this ya-ya for third place. Anybody notice the lady that won, set a new record? Thought not...

I think it's kind if whimsical. As long as the building met code when it was built, fine by me...

A pretty damning indictment of Trump's behaviour after losing the election. It's also nice to see that Mitch McConnell provided such awe-inspiring leadership.

@catseye3 said in Useless yet interesting factoid: @axtremus I can't believe I redd the whole thing.

Our gardening is more like plant hospice

I'm sure the gentleman had paid for his $200 transfer stamp and undergone his FBI background check (not the regular NICS, you get an anal probing for a Class III weapon), before obtaining his legal automatic weapon....

@jolly said in Court Suspends Giuliani’s Law License: Nah, he screwed Trump, so lying to a court, ruining people's lives and sending an entire nation into turmoil is definitely worth a one year suspension, because Orange Man Bad. There are places in this country where, rightly or not, a felon does not have the right to vote. At least he can practice law.

Whoever gets him will have to retailor their offense. He's got better wheels than Eli or Peyton, but not near what his namesake had. Boy can flat throw a football, though. In terms of programs best suited to him, it's going to be LSU, Alabama, and Clemson. I give the edge to LSU and Alabama. Cooper works in New Orleans, and both of those schools would let him go to almost every game very easily.

@copper said in Stir/Shaken: Over the last few months I probably averaged 1-2 per weekday. The calls are for car warranty and Medicare add-ons mostly. I usually answer them and don't say anything, just to waste some of their time. I never answer under the theory that a validated answer just gets you on more lists but I’m not sure if that is true.
