Probably worth financing it. What you lose in interest costs will probably be worth it if these tariffs go through.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind as well! I don’t know why, but Satisfactory’s spiders really get to me. I can’t play it without the kitties turned on. It’s the only game where they bother me.

I would prefer it that way. Government funded religious indoctrination makes me nervous.

No worries that you fucked things up! If you could just get your shit together, that would be great! Thanks so much for making me have to follow up with you to accomplish the very basics of your job!

When I’m annoyed, the salutation gets dropped. That way they know shit is getting real.

Can I get a sanity check here? This came up last night. If I’m picking up a dozen wings at Wingstop, is a tip expected? If so, how much?

When I used to make pizzas back in college, tips were for delivery drivers. So I never tip if I’m walking into a fast food place and picking up food. Am I being a dick?

RIP trailcam.

When my grandma was in her 80s, she took a call like this. She was talking for a good 5 minutes saying things like “oooh no, you’re from Microsoft?” and “my computer has been compromised?”

The whole time, she was smiling and winking at me then says, “Well hang on just a second, let me hand the phone to my grandson. He’s a police officer and can help us get this sorted out.” Then she immediately handed me the phone, where I didn’t miss a beat and said “This is officer Dan with the Aurora Police Department, who am I speaking to?” and they hung up instantly.

Don’t fuck with old ladies.

I saw an announcement yesterday saying it was from the onions.

A bad driver never misses their exit.

I was in the pool!

That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

One day if we are brave, we will get rid of the U in a lot of British words like color and armor, but by God we will keep the British U in the word glamour!

Hard to say. That study you linked mentions reductions in speed and crashes in the vicinity of the camera, which to me indicates that people are only slowing down because they know a camera is there. I suppose someone would have to do a study to see if speed cameras reduce speeds and crashes in areas where there aren’t currently cameras, but have been in the past. Meaning that people are slowing down in areas where they think there might be cameras.

I think the sentiment against them stems from the fact that there are ways to reduce speeds without feeling like they’re being used as a revenue stream.

Personally I like when there are warning signs saying “Speed camera in use ahead” since it has the effect of slowing down traffic and not feeling like a “gotcha” moment.

“If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope he likes enchiladas, because that’s what he’s getting.”

Orson Scott Card actually weighed in on a simple way to determine if something is fantasy or sci-fi since he writes both:

The difference between science fiction and fantasy…is simply this, science fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.

I have not, but I can’t remember the last time I was in a KFC. Is it any good?
