This is a very basic point, but many people miss it

I appreciate that there’s enough bike/ped space that even this bit of driveway creep is bearable

no one likes historians because every time someone says “oh this is unheard of”

historians are all like “well actually”

and fundamentally it just doesn’t sound as impressive if you have to say
“in these slightly precedented times”

I don't talk to mole sympathizers!

It’s a boomer rag for people who used to have Herald subscriptions

I’d rather plain text than a .docx or some trash like that. It’ll last forever at least.

Ankylosaurs all day every day

the best dinosaur is clearly Iguanodon, because of all the dinosaurs it most resembled a middle-aged Sicilian-American dock-worker with a switchblade

‘THE BEEKEEPER 2’ will follow the beekeeper society trying to overthrow the U.S. government

Jason Statham also now uses bees to heal his wounds.

Went to Fort George Brewing in Astoria today where they had a fantastic 2.6% ABV IPA.

I still have never had a NA beer of any kind that was better than passable, more low ABV beers like that please!

I think a forklift could do a real number on a car

If there was some kind of forklift-NEV hybrid I would buy it immediately and become a real neighborhood asset/menace

I like that Shadowlands has kept the florist sign, at least

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Dispatching three Long Island finance guys who look like they should have ponytails but don't, two 67yo Florida real estate developers named Steven and Stephen, and a nephew I don't think very highly of to negotiate an advantageous peace in the war I started.

Love IPAs, but I’ve also heard the “you people are all faking that you like them” for like 15+ years now and I’m really tired of it.

Like a pils or lager, but the sweetness of darker beer tends to put me off.

Nothing. I guess we're safe.

@blankcheck.bsky.social hey, I’ve heard Haing Ngor come up on the pod a few times, most recently on the last episode.

Quick pronunciation tip for Khmer: the “ng” in Ngor sounds similar to the ng in Nguyen, so a decent English-friendly approximation would be Nyor, not Nuh-gore

Same with Bonair SW and that whole road system, 38th SW by the Mount, there’s quite a few of these out there
