Does it taste like you put the lime in the coconut?

I heard countertop banana stand owners tend to also own banana hammocks.

I’ve just been hoping that every meeting Trump has with other heads of state, they bring him a gift of a dozen eggs from their country, while saying something like: “I heard these are hard to come by here, so I thought I’d bring you a treat!”

But like, each one of them does it, at every new meeting, just to irritate and humiliate him.

Kakistocracy. You’re gonna hear this word more and more over the next 4 years.

The thing is, until you can articulate in money terms what the losses are likely to be with climate change, the short term view that it’s not worth spending money on will prevail.

I guess even they can’t run Crysis on full.

Usually, g is used to represent acceleration due to gravity, whereas G is used to represent the gravitational constant in the calculation of the gravitational attraction between any two bodies.

My headcannon for this is that spaceships in that universe are to those people what cars are to us. If you know the basics of driving a car, you can drive most cars, though the bigger ships might get more complicated (I’ve never seen one of our heroes try to back up a star destroyer into a starbase to help with their buddy’s move.)

Yeah, but no one can escape the gravitational field of your mom.

(Sorry, couldn’t resist, as I half expected your comment to end with a “your mom” joke)

Are the bikes just left parked around the city? Here in Montréal, we have Bixi, with docks for the bikes every few blocks, and bikes have to be returned to a dock when you’re done (or you’ll get docked for the price of the bike, pun intended) so we don’t hear about discarded bikes much.

The program is also a resounding success here!

How much of the music at that EDM festival you went to will you listen to again? Will you buy any of their records? Or maybe just add a few of their tracks to a playlist on Spotify such that you may hear that music a couple more times in the future?

I may be making assumptions about you, but I think Rick’s point about new music becoming “disposable” because there’s just so much of it coming out remains valid. There’s still new songs coming out that transcend this, but the musicians making this music are finding it harder and harder to build up a following, get exposure, and convince record labels to invest in them, when these labels can invest way less, produce a shitton of disposable music and get a better (short-term) ROI.

Be careful. When a thread king gets to a certain size, it may acquire sentience.
