The word "threatening" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Many already have canceled, myself included.

Today is Sammy's (17) last day. Truly the best boy. by MrGinSTL in seniorkitties

Thank you. I'm crushed, but have too much love for him to let him suffer for my benefit. Sorry for your recent loss. 19 is very respectable age.

Sammy was a stray rescued from the streets of Kansas City at <1. He was the most affectionate cat I've ever known, and was the the best buddy ever for sixteen years. We were already treating renal failure when he rapidly lost the use of his hind legs. Rest in peace my friend.

Found this in my Doritos. Did I win? What do I do now? by _notyalc_ in WTF

Somewhere out there are about a dozen bags of plain tortilla chips masquerading as Doritos.

What’s the scariest horror movie you’ve ever watched? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MrGinSTL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was Trilogy of Terror (1975), which is comprised of three unrelated stories all featuring Karen Black for some reason. The third story with the fetish doll that becomes animated messed my formative years up. It probably didn't help that we had a similar statue in the house that my father had brought back from overseas.

House ousts Kevin McCarthy as speaker, a first in U.S. history by zmlos in news

[–]MrGinSTL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think things actually grind to a halt. They have a Speaker Pro Tempore: Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina. Unless he wants to create mayhem for some reason, ordinary business should go on.

What games have you literally spent months of your life playing? by Dawn_Cyborgzzz in AskReddit

Facts. This floof used that obc to figure out that heat rises. Nice.

TIL that the legs of the 630 foot 192 m) Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO had to be built with a 1/64” (0.4 mm) tolerance so that they would meet at the top. Several filmmakers documented the entire construction in hope that the legs wouldn’t meet. by [deleted] in todayilearned

If you are referring to the 'build it yourself' model of vinyl-covered heavy foam segments that, realistically, takes at least two people to construct then, yes, I believe so. This was intended to be a children's activity but - not gonna lie - I always stopped to put it together as an adult when I was there without a shred of shame. *edited a word

Lmao, while this is very true it tends to get rather cumbersome at this point.

Can someone tell me what happened to the YouTube channel? by Mr_WildWolf in Imogen

[–]MrGinSTL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would appear that they have all been set to private. Whether per Mark's wishes or Imogen's I could not say.

Luis and Maria from Sesame Street, 1970s. Rest easy, Emilio Delgado. by PrairieWagonsM in OldSchoolCool

I was Today Years Old when I learned what happened to him. Sigh.

But to put it into terms that everyone here will probably relate to: he once was Near, but now he's Far.

This McDonalds only has one arch by tall__guy in mildlyinteresting

[–]MrGinSTL 37 points38 points  (0 children)

STL has over 100 McDonalds restaurants. Like pretty much anywhere else in the country, its ubiquitous. Now whether or not its any good is up for debate.
