I’ve only ever heard “They’re coming to take me away” on record. Great pick!

The longest non-medical word (because c’mon, that’s Latin) is antidisestablishmentarianism. I think it is basically being pro-establishment (government) because of the double negative in the word.

I work in bioinformatics. The faster the hard drive the better! Some of my recent jobs were running some poorly optimized code and would turn 1tb of data into 10tb of output. So painful to run with 36 replicates.

I was trying to describe the plot of Field of Dreams just the other day.

A guy builds a baseball field in his corn field so that ghost players will come and play games there.

Their response was: The 90 were weird. And I had to agree. I’m gonna have to watch the movie again to figure out why I liked it so much.

There’s a whole world out there and you’d willingly sit in jail? Sorry, I mean sit in a walled garden?

My bad.

Didn’t know anyone wanted to do that. /s

Selling your tesla means someone else has to buy it. I think hacking a tesla to turn it into something different (like turning a mac into a hackinotsh) is a morally acceptable alternative. Bonus points for putting a new badge on it.

That would be an interesting legal case. If the data is able to identify you, is it not your data?

The real gulf of America.

I needed a username to play Hearts online way back. Mashed the keyboard and something close to my username came out. Fixed it up. I’m not Arabic but it’s apparently a nice way of saying “my heart”.

And you haven’t been banned yet?

Scientist: “Don’t call it zombie deer disease”

Scumbag Steve Reporter: puts it right in the damn headline.

No, looks about right after the other states join Canada.

I always wondered what would happen if one NATO country attacked another.

Putin sits back and laughs his head off.

How to make the US go to civil war with this one weird trick!

I mean, the court ruled against him and he doesn’t control the purse strings. So if courts rule that rights were violated and the government can be sued I don’t think he can dodge that easily.

Maybe I’m being silly, but Canada paid $10.5 million to a Guantanamo Bay inmate because his rights were violated. So I guess at the very least we better make sure to advocate strongly for any Canadians caught up in this mess.
