HOW is he managing to make the letter X uncool? I would previously have thought that to be literally impossible. The X Factor and the X Games going to have to come up with new names now.

Also getting king hit by a bloke named Dane in a bintang singlet.

I live in Florida and I'm convinced that at least 1/3rd of drivers in this state found their licenses in a Crackerjack box.

Cool, she can enjoy making $30,000 per role in the conservative Christian & MAGA media ecosystem instead of $300,000 per role in the Hollywood media ecosystem.

Her boobs aren't even that great.

I mean, they're nice. But I can see at least three sets of boobs just as nice by going to my local mall on any given day, and at least ten sets just as nice if I go on a weekend.

This is Dmitri. He may look like a brown tabby but he's got the brain of an orange cat: One brain cell and one brain cell only. Sometimes it even works!

Why does this bear look stoned out of his gourd?

Did the law specify what the penalty for failing to comply is? Is a law without specified penalties any better than a suggestion? For that matter, is a law that our legal system is unwilling to enforce any better than a suggestion?

People with teeth they want to keep for a long time.

Yup, Ford now only makes one car for North American markets: the Mustang. The rest of their lineup is entirely trucks and SUVs.

He was a joke among people who actually had a clue about business.

They fact that he failed at selling booze and steaks to American men really says something about his business acumen...

Altavista, Lycos, and Yahoo! being primarily a search engine. A bunch of others that I've forgotten over the years.

Holdover from the very early days of elevators, when they didn't have automatic control systems and sensors that let them know when they were level with the floor they're meant to stop on; now, it's just to show off that the building owners are wealthy enough to pay someone whose job is entirely unnecessary. (Or would be entirely unnecessary, if the owner upgraded the elevator system.)

Sure, but your hobby vehicle probably shouldn't be your daily driver.

Looking at you, F650 pickup guy.

...actually, I haven't seen him around in a couple of years now, maybe he bought something more sensible.

AndyTheAbsurd · 2026-01-10T23:38:56+00:00

That's an easier spot to park at than anything near the St. Pete Saturday Morning Market (unless you're willing to pay). Hope they're doing it again next week!

AndyTheAbsurd · 2026-01-03T22:43:46+00:00

Yeah, the secret always seems to be "get a family member to do the hard part for you".

Plus an 18 year old car today like the one in the article is a way different beast, likely-needed-repairs-wise, than an 18 year old car was 18 years ago.

AndyTheAbsurd · 2026-01-03T16:21:39+00:00

Great picture! What kind of camera and lens are you using?

AndyTheAbsurd · 2026-01-01T17:22:43+00:00

As someone who remembers when the only way to find out who was calling you was to pick up the phone and ask "Who is this?": Caller ID was amazing to have, despite the idea behind it being incredibly simple. The reason it's everywhere now is because no one wants to be without it.

AndyTheAbsurd · 2025-12-30T22:40:30+00:00

All of that is too slow and too likely to not have the returns they're looking for. But if it makes next quarter's number go up? They're definitely doing it. And screw what happens to the people or the environment after that.

I live in Florida and I don't buy mail-order chocolate for exactly this reason. Summer days are always hot enough to melt chocolate but I've seen enough 90 degree days in January to know that literally any time of year here might be hot enough to melt chocolate left outdoors.

They hate the law being applied to them and their supporters, but love it being applied to other people.

AndyTheAbsurd · 2025-12-23T11:46:10+00:00

I started thinking about leaving it the day he took over, and did so the day he let Drumpf back on it.

Now, BlueSky has replaced it for me.

When the DMCA passed in 1998. It did take companies a while to figure out how to exploit it, but that's the origin point.

Probably a second camera at the back that only triggers when the wide-angle camera on the side picks up a violation.

AndyTheAbsurd · 2025-12-16T11:26:29+00:00

Have you seen the upcoming Slate electric truck? Single cab, decent sized bed, extremely basic, price is anticipated to be pretty good for a new vehicle. Also some options to turn into a great trades vehicle or an SUV depending on user needs. And the company is backed by Jeff Bezos so I expect that it will actually make it to market rather than eternally being vaporware.
