I stopped watching this one in the middle. I should really go back and see the rest, now that I’m taking anti-anxiety drugs.

I was playing poker (and drinking heavily, and smoking occasionally) in a lot of underground places in NYC for a lot of the 90s - it was probably around then.

When did that come out? I'm pretty sure I bought or read that issue at some point.

As a bearded weirdo, I just want to know how I can get Hegseth into a cage/ring/octagon with me for just 5 minutes. I am in his weight class, even though I'm 12 years older and a couple of inches shorter. Someone make it happen.

With all the spying the online ad industry does, you’d think they’d be able to figure out when I made the purchase and stop paying to advertise to me. I pre-ordered a Thermapen Nano less than 24 hours ago, and I’ve already seen or blocked over two dozen Thermaworks ads.

I used to ride my acoustic bike in Manhattan every day and almost always at more than 20mph. I’ve also been hit in a crosswalk on Madison Ave. by a bike messenger doing somewhere around that speed. They need to put in some work to classify things and explain why they are uniquely dangerous.

Reminds me of Koch Snowflakes - finite area with an infinite perimeter. Menger sponges have infinite surface area and (approaching) zero volume, and a topological dimension of 1

On the one hand, I can’t see giving up four hours to think about Elon, on the other hand, it might be really fun to see him get savagely ripped to shreds with an audience.

We try to post threads because we know not everyone will click links. This is one of those threads, please read it, but please also click the link and read the entire piece. We have been watching this story unfold but haven't seen much media traction. There is a serial killer in Philadelphia.

You can't mix them with the manicules, or you might wind up with polycules, and nobody wants to see that on a poster.

Slow Horses, Severance and Pluribus were worth the price of Apple TV+ for me, at least. Got some F1 events as a bonus, too.
