Wait, do thermostats actually work that way? I always jack mine up as high as possible and just turn it off when I've decided its warm enough, and even in freezing winter my heating bills are really low.

Yes. You set the temperature you want the room to be at, and the the heater runs until it's a bit warmer than that (usually there is an adjustment for how much), then shuts off until it's cooled to a bit colder than that, then turns back on. It's doing what you're doing, only automatically. The set temperature is not the output of the heater, which is going to be quite a bit hotter than that. Which is to say Lynn is correct that setting it higher doesn't heat it faster, it just heats it hotter.

I am a white dude but what must short out in your brain to even think of asking to touch a black person's hair?

Hahaha "asking"? My black friends constantly complain about white people just going for it. At best, it's extremely disrespectful, and at worst it's racist.

I am disappointed that Jamal just looks sort of bored or jaded here. All those facial lines he's capable of and none of them showing grief.

It isn't a thousand yard stare or anything, it just looks like he is vaguely contemplating a shoe, like wondering how it's laced up or something

Maybe I am holding it to too high a standard because the artist is clearly putting in a lot of effort but Jamal has had like 900 face lines in other panels and somehow Arlo regularly shows more nuanced emotion with two lines and a dot

I get what you're saying and I don't necessarily disagree, but also people process grief in different ways, and we're not getting any insight into what Jamal's thinking just yet.

Please: when citing characters, mention the strip as well. My reputation for being a walking Wikipedia is only based on my need for constant editing.

Kind of hilarious, but both Condorito and Howard & Nester are from eponymous strips.

Hil thinks it is, but we haven't seen what her parents think. I do not think they will lay the blame solely at her feet.

Unlike, say, the Cudlicks, the Forths are thoughtful and caring an will recognize that it's not entirely Hil's fault. They'll be angry, but not, like, FOOB angry.

Wait, wait, wait.

What does it mean, the ball is in play for 11 minutes? Surely that can't mean only 11 minutes of game.

...

Right?

It means that if you count the time from when the ball is snapped to when the play is whistled dead, there's an average of 11 minutes of play in a game. An average play last around 4 seconds and teams have up to 40 seconds in between. Add in TV time outs for commercials and such and it adds up.

Remember that this is the strip where GHulk destroyed a man's marriage because he noticed the dude had a bunch of kids and realized that any man who could successfully impregnate a woman on so many occasions must be gay.

Bi does not exist.

Secure enough in your sexuality that you can appreciate another man's form without it being a big deal does not exist.

Falling in love with a woman's "art" and having sex with her but still being fully homosexual and not bi at all does exist.

It's 2019, kids. Nobody is shocked by the concept of Tinder anymore (even if they're not on it) and nobody says, "It's a hoot."

This sounds like the worst.

I bet this is what happens. I hate it.

He might be flossing too hard

I'd be way less annoyed at this if they were actually banging. Instead, I'm sure we'll learn that one was trying to wrestle the other's phone away as they sent messages to someone.

They are referring to Frank's Red Hot, which is a fairly inoffensive hot sauce a lot of people enjoy

Uh not according to Rose is Rose readers where it is equivalent to putting literal poison in someone's food.

How can you even taste the cream of mushroom soup in your casserole with something so hot??

I think Les couldn't actually see through the door but the perspective didn't make that clear. Couple of possibilities here:

1) Luann is still there and Gunther moved furniture around to hide her
2) Gunther was doing a photo shoot wearing the pajamas
3) Luann is there and was helping Gunther do a photo shoot wearing the pajamas ( )

Also the 9CL """courtship""" retrospective forced me to remember that Amos and Edda hosed right before the wedding and she had a massive grass stain down the back of the dress from it. Thanks, Brooke.

correction: they didn't actually gently caress right before the wedding but they seem to have made out vigorously on someone's grave before the ceremony, then hosed between the ceremony and reception

These are all incredibly stupid and like I said before I would hate this way less if they were just loving.

They're definitely fully clothed and 100% were not getting busy. Even if they smooched, it was not in such a way as to make anybody's hair, face, or clothing messy. There was zero reason, when Les got home, not to be like, "Hi Les, Luann's still here, we were chit-chatting." Or even just tell him you were boning. Who gives a gently caress?

What the gently caress you're loving adults you can have other adults of any gender in your bedroom for whatever reason you want gently caress you Gunther gently caress you Luann.

Did she scam Les? I thought what happened was that Les scammed money to buy her a gift, which is how we learned she's gay.

That, yeah, but as I recall she didn't bother to give it back.

Wallace's dad is seriously great. He rarely if ever gets angry (and never about things that don't actually matter like a no-hawk), he has fun with the kids, but is still a parent at the end of the day.
