I ask them if they find my car keys to please retrieve them.

Yes, you've got it. Now go apologize to poor Todd.

Many years ago, we had a troubled employee leave work very mad. He was quite furious with his computer and went home for his revolver unbeknownst to us. He came back to work with it and unloaded all six rounds into the system. Each round went through the case and each one missed the drive/motherboard/videocard. So, the system was still working despite the abrupt extra cooling holes. This further incensed him and he went away even madder, but this time in cuffs.

Boeing whistleblower. Worked there 30-years and was on travel giving depositions and showed up dead in the carpark. Initial report is a "self-inflicted" wound, but even if Boeing didn't kill him, it doesn't look good.

Agree. Reddit was the same thing if not worse. Nuance is [apparently] dead and if you do not explain everything from the dawn of Man to cover your thought, people pick the comment apart like carrion as if you've never thought about anything deeply before. They might even gloss over things you did say and attempt to invalidate or discredit your post because only they hold the Truth of the Internet handed down from the Elders. It can be a bit frustrating.

The title falsely makes you think he was forcibly removed from his seat.

It’s a short bit to promote his new movie pushed to social media. Saved you a youboob click.

I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.

I've used this joke IRL with our cats. There's another one for dogs:

A guy and a dog walk into a bar. The bartender says, "hey, you can't bring a dog in here."

The guy says, "this is no ordinary dog. He's a talking dog."

Bartender says, "yeah? Prove it." The guy turns to the dog and says, "What's on top of the building?" And the dog says "Roof! Roof!"

Then the guy says, "How does a brick feel?" The dog says "Rough! Rough!"

The guy then says, "Who was the greatest ballplayer of all time?" The dog says "Ruth! Ruth!"

They are thrown out of the bar.

When they're out on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, "So, you think I should have said DiMaggio?"

A convoluted topic for sure. The NFL has resisted the issue for a long time and they still try to protect the brand. Players also want to play and will sometimes hide symptoms. Concussion numbers are still too high and solutions are evasive. Rules and even helmets have changed, but perhaps if soft-shell helmets (Great Gazoo style!) were used we'd see less concussed players. We would lose those sharp cracking sounds that exemplify the violence of the game, but less CTE and better player health is what we should absolutely be striving for.

Sad news. Way too young, but no cause of death listed as of yet. I feel for his family.

I wish you good health, Steve! You are an amazing human.

Agree. SponserBlock is just doing the clicking for me. I did the same thing manually for a long time as my regular youtoobers got sponsored. Good for them, but I don’t need to see it and they still got sponsored.

Which is "should have" when spelt out.

When I was a yout, they had trucks with a huge tank and a sprayer on the back. The truck would drive all the country roads spraying the dirt with waste oils. This was done to keep the dust down. Smelled terrible. Miles and miles of dirt roads that ran all around by rivers and lakes.

It is crazy to think about that now.
