Don’t underestimate Colorado. Though it’s largely the recent Denver transplants keeping up that stereotype, whereas it’s the long-term Texans.

Interesting legal problem, but I object to the chess metaphor: knights more than any other chess piece do not occupy any intermediary spaces between where they start and land.

Scottish talk radio sounds like a trip.

Why does a language have different words for different concepts?

It’s an abbreviation.

Not all abbreviations are acronyms, only the ones that take the first letter from each word. Lego takes two letters from each word, so it’s not an acronym.

On a similar note, some but not all acronyms are initialisms, if they’re spoken as the letters rather than the “word” they create.

FYI, DIY, PS are all initialisms, and also acronyms, and also abbreviations. ASAP, SCUBA, and LASER are acronyms and abbreviations, but not initialisms. Lego, appt, and st are all abbreviations but neither acronyms nor initialisms.

That’s…not an acronym. That’d just be LG.

Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn’t matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it’s mounted.

A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

“Pele who can’t defend themselves physically”

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?

Alaska, Canada, Russia, a few on the -stans.

This is the longest straight-line all-water route on earth.

I mean yeah, that’s funny, but I just like high quality pixel art and 2000 was the last generation before they ditched that (or I guess, the pixels got too small to see)

I prefer 2000, myself

Toilets with threatening auras, you say?

(Bonus points: this bathroom was labeled “country” and the one next to it was labeled “western”)

Alas, still depressed

$100M of $VT, secure my ultra-comfortable retirement right then and there.

Fucking eggs come out of its arse!

Disjointed

Ooh, and they’re deficit deadlifts too. Nice.

I still have a sound card, because I have a stupid sound bar that works great except it only takes optical audio input.

“How long has it been since we’ve waltzed?”

“Oh, Gomez…hours.”

Or one less cup of coffee
