Thanks! I didn't even realize it was my day until I noticed the new badge.

I remember the first time I saw one of these. I think I Googled "tick with crab claws", and that got me to the answer via a bug forum I've long since forgotten.

It's a pseudoscorpion.

Bringing up BLM the organization is just an excuse to drag the cause in my opinion.

Well, props - I can't say the same, so I'll have to take your word for it.

Why do people keep bringing up BLM the organization as if discrediting it will in some way discredit the message that black lives matter?

>Tell me you’re an anti American liberal without telling me you’re an anti American liberal

There is nothing anti-American about being liberal, friend.

I guess a big part of what I mean is, do you really know all the roads in that area of the state well enough to know that the direction and distance are off? I could work it out eventually, but have no sense of what turns were taken to arrive at each. Presumably you can only go left or right at the intersection. Who knows what twisted path might land you at Paris in however many miles?

What makes you say that?

Higher quality steel or iron does make a different sound when struck. Also, those older pans were shaped and cleaned up way more than today's sand-textured beasts.

They're describing the physical properties of the material, not playing.

I've seen photos of the bowling alley before, but I can't recall where. If what I saw was accurate, the place is nearly completely destroyed at this point.

That doesn't mean these workers shouldn't push for it.

If you didn't intend for your comment to actually mean anything, why did you leave it?

I'm not sure why this piece prompted a dose of boomer humor, but okay I guess.

EDIT: It isn't that the "joke" was offensive or anything - it's just weird to see someone throw in a "kids are spoiled babies amirite?" barb out of nowhere. Like, of all the places to go, why was that your first stop?

Auburn has the Walmart pole.

Portland has the Home Depot guardrail, which has been obliterated by trucks at least twice a year for the past five years.

>The fact that family sue their own family is another reason for why the US is a dumpster fire. this culture of sueing for every little thing is frankly utterly stupid.

It isn't really like that in my experience. Often the situation is created by the insurance industry. You get injured, are on the hook for a six-figure sum, and your insurance forces a suit because they would rather claw the money from another party than pay it themselves.

It closed a couple of years ago, unfortunately. So, not so deluxe anymore.

> By that definition every country who’s ever waged war are terrorists at which point the term losses it’s meaning.

I mean, if a country wages an offensive war against another country that hasn't first attacked them or an ally (so, there is no defensive component) - how can you say they are not acting as terrorists? War is fundamentally immoral for most people, barring specific exceptions.

I looked this up but don't understand the reference.

The prices haven't gone up evenly in a way that would suggest a tax - because there wasn't a tax.

He really was awful.

Honestly, his views were way more than eccentric.
