...If the cheese holes line up, a plane crashes.

Look I know this is going to be a controversial decision but if cheese is causing so many plans to crash, maybe we should start think about just banning cheese on airplanes?

Amazing the few people who actually understand how roads work and the large majority who are just following the car in front.

Like at some point this seems like it becomes a situation where it seems like following the actually road rules might make things more dangerous.

If like everyone is using it wrong, and its sort of working, then trying to do the right thing might just gently caress things up. The mix of the two is worst situation.

interesting to know that the whole "kids write letters backwards!" bit has been around for a long time

Us adults write those letters backwards due to years of the education beating us into submission to write them wrong. Kids are fully aware or which way those letters were always meant to go. :colbert:

Makes sense to me, for the same reason Curtin University's Architecture building has a terrible, confusing internal layout.

You gotta make the siding door company before you can make the siding doors, and you gotta have a building to figure out architecture in so you can then design ones that don't suck.

Every other building on that road has the finest sliding doors you ever will see.

Ferguson was indeed the best. Dude loved loving around with the format and just in general, but when something came up that he cared about he had no problems with legitimately just opening up. Myers is the only one who comes close of the current late night hosts. And think the dudes doing a genuinely good job, but he's no Ferguson.

I'm still amazed anyone gave Jimmy Fallon of all people a talk show. Dude always sounds like he's desperately afraid people are about to laugh at him instead of with him. He's not bad when given direction and lines to read, but hoo-boy can he not carry a show off-the-cuff.

Yeah both Fallon and Corden I seriously just don't...get? like why? Kimmel not the biggest fan of, but hey he can actually tell a joke and I can see why people might like him. Those two just seem the opposite of humor.

Oh yeah Denton was great interviewer. Shaun Micallef was as well, but only of fictional people. Real people, yeah, one of the few things he actually sucks at.

The obvious conclusion is that ancient cavemen had developed the telephone.

I remember looking up some 1880s-ish geology papers and they all started like "we set out on this expedition to the vulcanic peaks of the Pacific Northwest in high spirits, with supplies for a six week journey and a native guide we are assured knows the path, although we do not speak their language". Just a Boys' Own Adventure, but they wrote poo poo down and made sketches and maps, so it counts as science.

and the last page would usually be something like. "Those that survived finally returned to civilization on 13th of June 1882. 17 months and 4 days after we had expected to. Of 41 people who left on the expedition 7 are known to be still alive. During our torturous journey we made many new discoveries that have added much to humanities knowledge of the beautiful, rugged and untamed lands of the Pacific Northwest, and consider our expedition a marvelous success. As soon as Myself and Dr clyde barksheer, have recovered sufficiently, and can gather the funds to, we are planning another expedition to further document the area."

Halal snack packs are great, but for late night I find just the simple kebab is better. You still got the meat and the Chili and garlic sauce, but just having everything wrapped up to me makes it far better to grab on the way home as so much easier to snack on while your walking, and what not. Plus taxis much more likely to stop for you if you have one discretely stashed in your pocket then if your carrying a big bag of obviously mess as hell food.

I like how this implies that the piss loving goats were not in fact airlifted out, and are still frolicking free.

Also installing Gimp takes like two minutes! Oh and if you need to re-install a whole bunch of stuff https://ninite.com/ is a great time save if you use a bunch of open source stuff.
