    The Women’s Christian Temperance Union, to which we owe the failed experiment of prohibition, still exists. It claimed 5k members in 2012, down from 350k a century earlier.

    On the website it tells you how you join. You print out the temperance pledge, and mail it to Evanston IL along with $20.

    @jon-nyc Evanston, baby!

    It was a source of never-ending mockery when I went to college there.

        I have learned that Madeleine Albright wrote a book with a mildly interesting title: Hell And Other Destinations.

          The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

            From the preface of the book Information Wars by Richard Stengel: "In 2010, Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, said we create as much information every two days -- about five exabytes -- as all the information created from the dawn of civilization until 2003."

                        No. Plaque is on your teeth. There might be a coprolite in a while though.

                                  Last Friday I bought some stuff at a convenience store/Shell station on Hatteras Island for $30.80.

                                  Today I was checking the VISA account and there were 2 charges for $30.80, one on Friday and one on Sunday.

                                  I called VISA to report a duplicate charge.

                                  I did buy fuel on Sunday, but I figured there was no way it was exactly $30.80 worth of fuel.

                                  I had a receipt from Friday but not Sunday because the fuel pump printer was broken.

                                  After reporting the duplicate to VISA I remembered that I had taken a picture of the pump because someone had put a Biden sticker on it.

                                  Now I am waiting on hold to tell VISA to forget about the dispute.

                                  So Mr. Biden saved the Blue Whale convenience store from the hassle of disputing the dispute.

                                  50f759a0-843a-4b31-a214-cadf994fb05f-image.png

                                      @mark Something to think about when you can't sleep.

                                      How is such a thing even able to be calculated?

                                      What if they're off by say 50 trillion years. Do we need to worry?

                                        There is hope:

                                        The universe could possibly avoid eternal heat death through random quantum tunneling and quantum fluctuations, given the non-zero probability of producing a new Big Bang in roughly 10^10^10^56 years
