I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.
This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!
Luckovich is a badass.
“I didn’t say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy!”
So, she shares a name with The Walrus of Love himself, Barry White. Cool. There’s a joke in there somewhere…
In Star Trek, their run-of-the-mill, rarely discussed deflector is doing way more work than anything in the Star Wars universe. The one exception is the world-ender planet lasers which have been a big plot point in too many films and STILL have no plausible means to exist IN THEIR OwN UNIVERSE!
I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I’d bet good money they didn’t.
I definitely felt the trauma of that time coming back and felt like crying at the end just due to the release of it all.

10 years ago! Geez.
Tri Repetae.
I finally watched Contagion after hearing about it since Covid. It’s eerie how many things they got right about a global pandemic: the blogger with his BS treatment, vilifying the head of the CDC… The list goes on.
I also watched the Deathstalker remake. It was okay, but that was to be expected.
Good. It’s terrible that this is a reality, but what is happening here is the decriminalization of being homeless and a student. Sure, you have to have a car, which isn’t great, but for those in this situation that need this service, I imagine it to be a comfort.
What this also does is make a very public safe space for people in dire conditions to congregate, commiserate, and hopefully organize. Please make a tent city; nothing will help illustrate the problem more. Create a safe place for unhoused people and see just how many show up.
A safe space for anyone to help meet their basic needs should always be a good thing.
Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.
Earl Grey Sausage. Hot. 😉
I like this.
What printer did you use, what paper, print type, etc? Nice work!
Edit: any deets on the camera used as well?
Rewatching DS9 and then listening to The Delta Flyers commentary. I don’t always A/B the episodes, I usually just watch a few to refresh my memory then listen to a few of the podcasts as time allows.
“Displaying the probability of a specific home flooding this year or within the next five years can have a significant impact on the perceived desirability of that property,” Art Carter, chief executive officer of the California Regional Multiple Listing Service, a private database for real estate brokers and agents, told the Times.
Yea, no shit. That’s the point of including climate risk when it comes to choosing a property.
Flood prone areas don’t pop up overnight. The people in Swannanoa NC were living in a known floodplain that had a massive flood about 100 years ago. Same with the Guadalupe River that averages a major flood every decade. Climate change is making these events larger and more frequent, but excluding data from a real estate listing to supposedly increase home value is nonsense at best and fraud at worst.
Those of us possibly even older may point to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in '87. From Wikipedia, the fairness doctrine “required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.” In short, it’s repeal paved the way for Fox News and led all the way to CBS under Weiss.
But to your point, there are 3 things on my platform that I tell anyone who wants to hear it. 3 actionable items:
I didn’t say it would be easy.
