"Ok, we're gonna have to do something about this, polish it up a bit, so potential customers don't snicker... what's your full first name, honey?"
"Gaylorda."

Don't you wish there was a way to quit enabling these shit-kickin' shitheads. To let them actually live what they preach, in isolation without their shitwater splashing and spilling around everywhere else.

None of their politicians asking for handouts behind closed doors and under the table, too embarrassed to admit to the voters that yes, indeed, a collective government IS extremely useful AND convenient when you need it the most, and not only when YOU need it but also when OTHERS need it, too.

But one might as well try and explain quantum mechanics to a goddamned brick wall.

You are NOT kidding here, the animation is top-notch, I have never seen this type of matter in any sort of intuitive way until now.

Then the person behind the counter looks like Larry "Bud" Melman aka Calvert DeForest, from David Letterman's late nite era.
One face blurred out, the other a Late Nite copy-paste.

There was this one time I was looking for the matches, and they were in my hand. What I can't remember is if I had the matches in my hand the whole time, or if I found them, grabbed them and kept on looking for them.

The statue may remain in place, but only if Mister Arthur Fonzerelli apologizes in public.

"I'm so-w-w-w-w-wrr..."
What was that, Mister Fonzerelli?
"I said I was so-w-w-w-w-wrr..."

Then there is also all those mediocre non-voters who empowered by default the motivated-by-hysteria, toxic dregs of society, up and down Main St. and deep within their communities and suburbs.

This, like so many other cruel unnecessary things, could have been easily avoided.
"But... but... muh puriteh! bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe"
vOtE fOr A wOmAn? mE?!! wHeN PIGS FLY!!!

The mental gymnastics so many non-voters use to convince themselves that their lazy mediocrity is not a HUGE part of the problem. They exert a hundred times the energy to stab themselves in the chest with a rusty knife, and as gangrene sets in, they fancy themselves as hero martyrs, because they so bravely did nothing of value to stop this. Useless deadweight flakes that they are.

The One Salmon Universe Hypothesis!

 

Wherever there is matter in an ever-thinning universe, there might be an entire cosmologically-sized era dominated by an entirely different chemistry to what we have now.

 

If the answer is YES, a related follow-up question: if each visible color of the spectrum were to measure a centimeter in width, how far would I have to move the sensor from the red to detect the change from infrared to microwave, then to radio?

In the knowledge that Sir William Herschel discovered infrared by repeating Newton's experiment, but with a thermometer to measure the temperature of each component of the spectrum, and after placing the thermometer a bit to the side of the red light, in darkness, noticed quite by accident that the device would still register heat, therefore an invisible yet very real component of light was there, warming the thermometer.

 

Now I'm just being the curious layman here, but a Google/YouTube search proved fruitless.

 

It's one of those pet peeves that rub me the wrong way, and they all seem to do it, whether it's anywhere around The Ringer network, or the Earwolf network, or the Blank Check podcast to name a few, they always say "Ray" instead of "Ralph".

The man's real full name is Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, quite a fancy mouthful, but not even a hint of "Ray" or "Raymond" in there. Did everyone in the podcasting world decide to pronounce his name wrong on purpose?

 

Me first: in the early 80s, I remember the Vons supermarket chain had their own brand of sour cream dip for potato chips, one flavor that people I know loved was fresh pismo clam, it still had chunks of clam meat in there. One day it got yanked from the shelves and I've never seen it again.

More recently, about a decade ago, Trader Joe's carried cheddar-and-horseradish potato chips, then one day they were gone.

I would love... LOVE... to dip those horseradish chips into that clam dip... sigh.
