And now I'm wondering whether they could shorten winter by shadowbanning the groundhog.

Cory Doctorow drinks soda???!!!!

I once asked most of the teachers in my high school if they thought that the education classes they took in college were worthwhile and, well, that may have been the only time in their lives they agreed unanimously.

The schools teach nothing right because the educators don't know anything. Even phys ed was bad - students thrown together with no regard for ability or interest, and the teachers lavished all their attention on the few stars in the class. 3/x

doing anything with them. We were "taught" history by a teacher who just read from the textbook (he was the football coach; couldn't be fired - until the team started losing). We were "taught" physics by trying to reproduce experiments from the textbook and never analyzing what went wrong. 2/x

Maine has the oldest population of any state and its other senator is ... you're right.

Rice pudding?

Oh I see your point.

OK, maybe it was designed for eating lit by dim, dim candles, so the color didn't bother them so much, but it's not only brown on top of brown. There's also the charoset which is there explicitly because it's brown.

Ok, that sounds good (better with the pearled barley), but it's brown.

That's why they have to forbid hamentaschen on Pesach.

Don't know about the meal. Everything is brown.

As Elon is in the process of demonstrating, it doesn't buy you happiness.

Pro-tip: If you're not home when the UPS delivery shows up, they will leave your package inside your unlocked front door. To be certain, post a note on the door reminding the driver that the door is unlocked.

It's a trick because there's no wrong answer.

But lining things up flush should be called "flushing."
