  1. yeah i wasn't talking about toys, doc. congrats on uncritically posting API screed as a defense to the subsidies of oil companies. i'm sure the fact that the oil companies are paying royalties more than makes up for the subsidies and isn't itself a disguised subsidy at all.
  2. constantly reminded that physicians can be brilliant within their field but are often complete dumbshits outside of it.
  3. well that and life is boring, so it's much more exciting to think that you're the protagonist in some fantasy taking down the secret pedophile cabal that runs the world. at the behest of some dudes who live in the philippines for totally legitimate reasons not related to pedophilia.
  4. 🤮
  5. Houston summer seems mild because the highs aren't particularly high (largely due to scattered rain each afternoon). But the overnight lows are the 3rd highest on record (behind '22, '23, and just ahead of '24, so not a great trend). So this is actually 7th hottest on record (thru july 22): https://spacecityweather.com/has-it-been-a-fairly-mild-summer-in-houston-the-answer-may-surprise-you/
  6. Did leclerc cut a corner somewhere and no one noticed?
  7. i read the time machine and carcinization is the future.
  8. never gets tiring posting this quote because it so aptly describes just so many people
  9. Strike zone suddenly gets smaller
  10. probably someone from 1887 with a name like clement "peg leg" longfellow
  11. worst baserunning sure fire hall of famer ever.
  12. wish it was always this easy to do this. love ford and sparky. may not care for the announce crew or other parts of the broadcast, but the clarity seems really good on apple. blow directv stream's potato quality out of the water. fuck that ad that was just imposed on the center field wall tho.
  13. ^^ that was much funnier scrolling on the phone so I saw nothing of the second panel
  14. At least my good friend alcohol is only up 13%
  15. i'll just note here that the packaging sizes are different (price per ounce is the same). edit: yet another packaging size because i guess they just buy whatever is the cheapest container or some shit but here's amazon's price history
  16. so what the BLS actually does is attempt to count the total employment (~163,400,000 people) every month. so the revisions may be large in terms of the chagne but they're actually pretty small in terms of the actual counting. it'd be like a silo where there's grain going out at the bottom and coming in at the top and trying to determine, each month, how many grains are in there. with (usually) relatively small inputs and outputs that can only rarely be directly observed and the observations for which are often unreliable (if the firm doesn't pick up the phone is that because everyone is at lunch or because it shuttered?)
  17. i'm glad that NBC decided to plaster a banner all over this in order to hide whatever it is. unless this camera is above the second floor of the house (which, since it looks like someone's front door, it definitely isn't) the thing going past is small and on the ground. it's just some critter. it's not a person, it's not 3 feet tall, it's probably a cat or possum or gray fox. edit: someone carrying in bags, there's an SUV parked right there and the bags pass in front of the wheel.
  18. Jaime twisting the knife
