That Martin Shkreli smirk... It's like he knows he's lying and knows he won't get called out for it.

Calling U.S. citizens who happen to not be white "illegals" when the real illegals are the men in this Epstein dump. Nothing Megyn "R" Kelly is defending is legal.

A certain drinking song I learned in college suddenly is even more appropriate for him. It involves being the wrong end of a horse and an inappropriate act, and I'll leave it at that.

No, the 3.5" disks are still called floppy because the medium inside is flexible. Hard disks record on metal platters and usually are sealed. Removable hard disks exist but were less common, especially in the consumer space.

I last used them 11 months ago and that was a one-off (and a mistake).

That implementation of Civ is really impressive! I always thought it would be possible to scale Civ down some so it could run on an 8-bit. I'm glad to see someone gave it a try.

I'm so sorry. You shared so many great Taxi photos over the years. Not just a good dog, she could be very funny too.

I too, learned earlier today that quoting Johnny Cash gets you 72 hours in twitmo.

That's like saying you've been listening to this obscure band not very many people know about called the Rolling Stones.

Of the three, Aleve (Naproxen) is the most dangerous. It's fine if you take the dosage on the bottle. But if you exceed it, it causes serious problems. Kidney problems if I recall correctly.

I've used the high-risk pools. They cover very little and cost a fortune. It's almost like they're designed to encourage you to not participate in the system and just pay out of pocket for everything.

I made my way through that obstacle course yesterday. Not sure how any of that calms traffic. And by the time we got to Gravois, I saw no fewer than 3 cars make illegal right turns on red onto Gravois, one into oncoming traffic. So I'd say the traffic was pretty fired up by the measures if anything.

All these religious groups thinking they're hastening the end of the world, many of them with very different ideas of what that end looks like. We need to get them to argue about that more.

My Econ 1 professor was in the running for the most conservative man I ever met and he absolutely agreed both of those are lousy ideas. Hassett may or may not be conservative. He absolutely is a grifter, and the grift is overpowering whatever other beliefs he may hold.

No doubt. And let's not forget Kid Rock never stopped making bad rap, knowing when to stop is commendable.

I thought I saw somewhere that both desktop and mobile have independent settings, so if you seem to be seeing more on one than the other, it's definitely worth double checking. I also noticed it was hiding way too much.

That's what we had before Obamacare. And it meant insurance was cheap for people who didn't need it, but once you developed health problems, you had to go to your state's high-risk pool, which was extremely expensive, had limited selection and poor coverage.

I love early laser printers and wish I had room for one. But they are enormous. That PC/XT is no small beast itself, and the Laserjet dwarfs it.
