I need to stop letting my dogs watch WWE.

I say 20 minimum, but I'd accept larger answers based on e.g. the idea that the printed lines have nonzero width so their inner and outer perimeters are distinct, or that there's a triangle in the counter of the letter 'A' in 'TRIANGLES'.

Black pepper is underrated as an ingredient. Most people add a cowardly amount. You need to be more assertive with it.

Sling loaded with the remains of plague victims, and then I can be patient for a week.

I wonder how @PCBWayOfficial decided that Chinese is "off" and English is "on".

I'm starting a minimalist metal band. It's called ¨.

My dogs whenever there's a coyote outside:

The richest man in the world is dedicating his fortune to constructing an army of kung fu robots. We're not in a simulation. We're in a comic book.

...and the US. A landlord can't just evict tenants whenever they want. No, claiming they aren't a "landlord" and those aren't actually "tenants" doesn't justify evicting them, either. They need to hire a lawyer and spend months in courts to sort it out. Meanwhile, not only do

I'm watching a movie that has a shot of a pay phone hanging off the hook, but the foley is of a busy signal and the closed caption calls it a dial tone. I have never felt this old.

How I wish ABC had addressed the Kimmel situation following Carr's threats, cast into PR-speak by my handy-dandy mechanical wordcel. “Good evening. I’m Bob Iger. Disney recently made the difficult decision to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live following repeated violations of our

I don't think Nate's analogy is entirely on-target. I remember this news cycle first-hand, except that I wasn't sure what Nate was talking about vis a vis pressure from the White House and had to look that up. Turns out, Ari Fleischer did make some remarks condemning Marr's

"Dependency bloat" is good. It's a sign of a healthy package ecosystem that composes robust implementations of common functionality instead of half-assing things just to avoid a dependency.

Even though it's still a little early for certainty I'll go ahead and mark this prediction falsified, or at least down to very low probability, albeit with an asterisk on interpretation. The asterisk is that the shooter's age, along with his sudden shift from apolitical to

Sometimes, the murder of a political figure is exactly what it looks like: a political assassination. Usually, though, it is not: Hinckley shooting Reagan in order to impress Jodie Foster should be taken as an archetype of what to expect. So, I'll put a prediction on record, at

What English is really missing from its probability vocabulary is a single adjective to convey "happens one time in thousands, but out of millions of opportunities".

Judging by the sample of super-wealthy people I've met, I don't think this is true. Luxury cars are a minority taste in all wealth brackets, so there's nothing strange about a billionaire driving a Camry, but likelihood of owning a fancy car only increases as wealth does.

I present the *strong-form* dead internet theory: literally everyone on the internet is a bot, including me, and I was programmed not to realize it. Humans actually went extinct in 2023 or so. What likely happened is SSC's "Shiri's scissor" thought experiment got built for real.

Anyone who wants to take my em-dashes away from me will have to delve them from my cold, dead hands.
