Like playing Russian roulette with five live rounds.

eBay if I can wait a few days, otherwise O’Reilly’s.

It happens to a lot of people after their mid 20’s. Damned slow ass metabolism.

Oh, so that’s why Mike McCarthy looks so stressed here lately.

Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?

I’m gonna need to put oversized tires, a jack, and a custom air intake on it for all my trips to Walmart.

I think Jon Stewart would make a great president. I also think he would probably be miserable and I would hate to do that to him.

Trump should absolutely lower the price of evertyhing. Pressure the federal reserve to hike the prime rate to 25%, push us straight into a depression, and watch just how fast the price of eggs and gas plummets.

I mean, lower prices are the most important thing apparently and since the majority of Americans want that at all costs, this strategy should be ok with them, right?

You’re not wrong. I’m just saying, I would enjoy the Schadenfreude more if I didn’t have to be part of the shit show.

Ha! No. Get ready for a lot of crying when we get to the “find out” part. Shouldn’t take us very long.

Am American. Can confirm. In general, we are dumb as shit.

It is. It always has been to one degree or another. We’ve just gotten really lucky and apparently that luck is running out.

Kind of feels like our “crossing the Rubicon” moment. Except instead of an intellgent and accomplished general leading an army, we got a clown leading a circus.

I have an idea! Let’s put the guy whose policies partly contributed to our current economic state back in charge of everything. He’ll definitely fix it this time.

Oh, no. They will be hurt the same as everyone else but The Donald will just tell them that it’s the Democrats/immigrants/gay people’s/critical race theory’s fault and they will believe him because having someone else to blame for their problems is a lot easier than fixing their problems.

1. Sign tax cuts into law.

2. Pat yourself on the back as God’s gift to the middle class.

3. Conveniently fail to tell non-rich people that their tax cuts are going to expire until it’s time to…

4. Blame Democrats for their impending expiration.

5. Profit.

When Sarah is up for re-election I hope all the rural Arkansans, especially farmers and ranchers, remember one thing in particular. Cooks Venture (a poultry processor) went bankrupt practically overnight and left a bunch of poor farmers with tens of thousands of chickens that they couldn’t feed or get rid of.

What does governors office do? Euthanize most of the birds and then – in so many words – tell the farmers to take the rotting corpses and shove them up their own asses.

That’s honestly really low on the list of terrible/incompetent shit that’s gone on since she was elected governor but it’s important for one reason. It was a giant “fuck you” to her own base. SHS is telling the very people who put her in office, “I don’t care about you AT ALL.”

The Book of Mormon is a wild ride.

I once worked for a big corporation that makes hydraulic rescue tools, where management somehow failed to grasp that the chief selling point of these tools is that they do the job reliably every time. No firefighter wants to be trying to get someone out of a car like, “Damnit! The cutter is acting up again. We should probably look into that.”

But the executives kept demanding that we add “features” to the tools that effectively compromised the reliability and then got all surprised Pikachu face when it was explained to them that the customers thought the tools were overpriced half-assed garbage.

I guess my point is I’ve seen plenty of incredibly stupid examples of management ignoring the engineers and yet somehow Musk demanding that radar be scrapped in favor of cameras is right at the top of the list. Especially if you want your customers to live long enough to buy your products more than once.
