They’d surely not do something that extreme, would they? [image: 4d48fed13e77f95b39bc0ee99e9ab0f3e4-aaron-bushnell-self.2x.rsquare.w400.jpg]

    @LuFins-Dad said in No Kiss: The second page of the rescinded memo mentioned that the photo “V-J Day in Times Square” would be replaced by the photo “B-J Day in William Way” featuring a man dressed in the Village People Sailor outfit performing oral sex on a transwoman in a nurses outfit. Waivers were signed to assure the act was consensual. POTW

    I remember when the earthquake hit Japan that damage the Fukushima nuclear plant. A friend was on a plane that landed in Tokyo at the EXACT time the earthquake started. They ended up sitting on the plane for about six hours before they were able to get off. I flew into Tokyo (Narita airport) the next day from BKK. Very limited flights in/out of the airport. Airport was running on emergency power. I remember how hot it was in the airport because no A/C.

    Do they check arrest records, or only convictions?

    @Doctor-Phibes Except for cats, obviously. He really fucked that bit up. That now brings us full circle. Lions are cats, big ones. Samson allegedly killed one when it was a kitten. Only bad people kill kittens and puppies, not supposed mythical fucking heroes.

    @Axtremus said in Beating up of New York Subway Cellist: According to Forrest, a medical student, this was not the first time he had been targeted while playing in the subway. Dang, how bad do you have to be as a musician to be attacked twice while playing in the subway? Tough crowd down there.

    And to think that in addition to the unhygienic and humiliating act of foot licking, they even exposed those unsuspecting kids to peanut butter! Why innocents could have died right there on the spot. Footnote: a big part our family dog’s evening routine when we are watching TV, is his licking and grooming of his own paws. He gets right into it. Quite an arduous and, at times, noisey act of ablution on his part. Happy feet, happy dog.

    Interesting points. If you recall, in "The Usual Suspects" there's a scene where Verbal Kint is standing outside a subway entrance, smoking a cigarette. He's holding it in a distinctly European way. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fridge/TheUsualSuspects When they are released from the lineup and go out on the street, while Keaton is talking to Edie Finneran, the camera cuts to each of the others. In one shot Verbal is holding/smoking his cigarette between thumb and forefinger and palm facing up. This is an Eastern European trait commonly picked up by others in the region like, say, Turkey.

    Not surprising that this technology will evolve. Someone here posted a graph of battery power and time to recharge vs. calendar dates. Over time, more power and less recharge time. The trend will only continue.
