That wacky Einstein, still dilating time from beyond the grave.

And in the UK at least it’s a distinct word and meaning from whining. In the US I think we just use “whining” for both meanings.

Are you explaining Draegur to Draegur?

Turns out Kal-El was raised by the Kents; he just never developed powers because ours isn’t a true yellow sun.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Chocolate is what poisons dogs. There’s just a much higher concentration of it in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. Too much milk chocolate can still kill a dog, and “too much” isn’t even all that much. 8 ounces of milk chocolate for a 30 pound dog is enough to be concerned about.

Not sure about lately, but ten years ago the Home Depot on Aurora in Seattle always had a group of guys hanging out near the entrance.

From what I can tell from the article, it’s not clear what the guy was selling. Maybe it was the claimed drugs, maybe it was water, but he had no idea and he was not only unaware, but also was making claims (“highest quality” and "made in the US’) that were patently false.

The first time I visited there, I wanted to live there. Like this book I read in school when I was in third grade, where the kids hide out in the museum overnight.

Or were you referring to the previous situation, where a sitting judge and prosecutor were related? That seems like a valid point, though perhaps it’s easier to remain impartial in that case.

This article was amended on 27 July 2024. A part of Trump’s speech that was unintelligible were deleted.

I’m surprised that would leave anything left to talk about.

You’re right, but not in the way you think you are.

I assume because it has the “oo” sound. “Loser” looks like it rhymes with “hoser”.

"gigibyte" is not a thing, but "gibibyte" is.

I remember making that trip in the 90s, but I was too drunk at the border to find my driver's license in my pocket so they just waved me through anyway. Those were different times.

Yes, German Shepherd Dog.

I understand not wanting to relearn, and it’s not really that big a deal, but it’s also pretty easy to retrain yourself. Just start tying them opposite of what you currently do (flip whichever one goes on top) and the rest is the same. It took me some time at first, but now it’s second nature to me.
