You can, but then you never know what the junk is hiding: patches of bare dirt, certainly, but also oil, transmission fluid or other toxic seeping into the ground, small bits of metal parts (you know they’re not going to find everything) that become missiles when bit with a lawnmower, etc.

Remember all those videos of police screaming “Stop Resisting” at people who very clearly weren’t resisting? Congratulations, you’re now a violent criminal.

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

And suddenly, everything the Russian banks do is related to civil nuclear energy …

I would love AOC as president. Unfortunately, she’s a woman and she’s a minority, and this country is just too racist and sexist - and stupid! - to elect her.

Concentration camps.

There’s nothing to prove that you were home with your phone.

I’m sorry :( It was such a good store!

How is a manufacturer going to be held responsible for their flaws when musk DOGE’d investigating his companies?

I would love to get some of these data centers off our power grid.

I’m near enough to You-Do-It

Just a reminder that it’s illegal to wear masks in New Orleans unless it’s Carnivale.

I prefer WizTree. It’ll show you space usage, but you can also search for files, and it’s incredibly fast.

the fulfillment of biblical prophecy that “God would anoint Christian ‘kings’ to preside over an ‘end-time transfer of wealth’ from the wicked to the righteous.”

A) I thought the Bible taught against hoarding wealth.

B) Aren’t they all supposed to be Raptured into Heaven anyway, leaving us sinners alone here on Earth, where we’ll end up with their stuff anyway 'cause their stuff isn’t going to Heaven with them? So what do they need it for?
