Hail the Omnissiah! He is the God in the Machine, the Source of All Knowledge.

For me, other than the speed and convenience, I was amazed that I could use my same Suica card (on my iPhone) in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Even though each region has their own card, they have mutual use in most areas.

Japan, South Korea, Ukraine, and Taiwan are parties to the nonproliferation treaty, like Iran. Oddly, Israel isn’t.

Rabid Beavers? Don't worry everyone, I'm sure Buc-ee's has already filed suit because rabid beavers is covered under their trade dress.

Hmm, what could have happened 47 years ago. Is that when the current islamist regime overthrew the dictator that the US & UK put into place by orchestrating a coup against the democratically elected government because they wanted to nationalize the oil industry? Seriously this 47 years ago BS needs to stop.

As someone who has been sober for 10+ years and still avoids events where alcohol is served, the word Gin doesn't cause me any stress. Just one point of anecdata.

When there is not enough AC, people sweat. It’s better for half to sweat to death so the other half can remain frosty.

I don't know about number 3. As a 53 year old Gen X'er, I still haven't come across things that see against the natural order. The main things I don't understand are things like the Humane AI pin, which didn't seem against the natural order, I just didn't see the appeal or usefulness of it. Maybe it just doesn't seem like there is much new being invented.

Stopping marketing mail wouldn’t change the number of accelerations per mailbox. USPS would still need to check each stop for outgoing mail. The only difference would be in weight carried.

> The cards observe it is Friday.

Um, where I am it's still Thursday.

The main lesson I learned was I didn’t have to live in a snowy place. I left SW Michigan in 2000 and haven’t looked back. I don’t like being cold, but I loathe snow and ice.

There is that, but I get the impression that you could hire an expert to help.

"So they told me that using the download page to download something was not something they anticipated" This has to be my favorite part.

I expect the bible is in virtually every public and school library in the US. It’s hardly a banned book by any measure.

I hate it because the last thing we need on sidewalks, at least here in Seattle, is more junk making it impossible to walk anywhere.
