Are there still places that legally mandate car refueling operators? That seemed like a job that literally only existed to give some people a job.

Might have just found out about another?

If you’re on a “.gov” site, it’s safe to expect that it is a legit site of the US government.

It’s absolutely not enough time. Those are serial killers in the making.

Fuck is wrong with you?

I support this new saying. What’s wrong with people literally fitting the original label? I think we generally appreciate those people, right?

Yeah, good point, but that article isn’t talking about what’s in this picture.

Store-bought sandwich bread usually can be kept in the fridge without much change in texture. That’s because it often contains additives and preservatives that keep it fresh longer.

That’s a big motivation for me, too, but I’d say it’s about equally that I want archival of the best stuff for when rights holders pull their catalogs from the services I stream. I used to think that was mainly for the more obscure stuff, like local bands’ early albums that I can barely find anymore, but recently I’ve noticed albums missing from main services (Tidal and Spotify, in my case) for bigger acts, too.

Cleveland clinic says says about coffee’s laxative effect:

Researchers found that 29% of coffee drinkers report a desire to poop after drinking coffee. The feeling can come pretty quickly, too. (In as little as four minutes!)

And about lactose intolerance (same article):

An estimated 65% of people have some difficulty digesting lactose, which can lead to restroom runs. Lactose intolerance can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal (GI) issues within 30 minutes of consumption.

I’d had this over my front door for however long it took for them to build it. My pest control service said the size of the nest can affect how aggressively defensive they might respond to perceived intruders. I guess maybe I was just lucky we caught this one before it got any more developed.

I gnu y’all would find a way to pun it up.

I thought it was because he’s afraid he sounds like he’s saying “lion” instead of “lying”, and he doesn’t want to risk sounding complimentary.

1. Granola and plain yogurt
2. An Italian-ish sandwich (ham, salame, lettuce, tomato, cheese, giardiniera, oil+seasonings, and mayo, on wheat) with peperonicini-flavored kettle chips/crisps
3. Pork carnitas “street” tacos with borracho black beans

It blows my mind that centuries-old concepts “let’s not jump to hasty conclusions” and “people should be free to protest the government but not break the law” just got called “flaming progressive”.

edit: Sorry, now I see what you’re saying, that those were some points that pull people from across the aisle.

ah goddammit

“Incomplete paper and online applications will not be accepted,” Evans said in the statement. (Parker’s [demonstration] cancellation request would have lacked a driver’s license number.) The Secretary of State’s Office did not respond to individual questions about what testing the portal underwent before launch, the system’s security procedures, what happened to Parker’s cancellation request…

Yeah, that tells us we just don’t know if this was a problem after all. Evans’s statement basically claims it wasn’t a vulnerability. If that’s correct, then the worst thing might be if someone’s browser tripped on the validation JS and allowed them down a blind alley execution path. If the claim is correct and if the page’s JS never shits the bed, then in that case the only negative outcome would be someone dicking with the in-browser source could lead themselves down the blind alley, in which case who cares. The only terrible outcome seems like it would be if the claim is incorrect–i.e. if an incomplete application submission would be processed, thus allowing exploit.

Short of an internal audit, there’s no smoking gun here.

This really is the only acceptable comment. Might as well close the thread.
