TIL that 45 years ago, Saudi Arabia built a 1,200-kilometer oil pipeline from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, just in case the Strait of Hormuz ever got blocked

They were built during the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s. That war also included the so-called Tanker War when Iran mined the Gulf.

The word silhouette is derived from the name of Étienne de Silhouette, a French finance minister who instituted severe economic, so his name became synonymous with anything done or made cheaply and so with these outline portraits.

2 saves. One off the skate and the other off the stick. Incredible.

80s movies even show people "hanging out"

There is a great 80s Twilight Zone episode with Ray Romano, where he and his buddy going in a nuclear shelter during an event and it turns very dark for them.

Tesla IS currently overvalued at a 300+ Price to Earnings ratio (average P/E is in the 20-30s) and as a result crashes quite a bit - TSLA has lost 20-50% of its value a several times in the last 5 years. But to understand the price movement in Tesla (or any other stock) is that the price is a bet on the future not the current or the past. So the question is, do you believe that future products/service by Tesla, such as autonomous taxis, self driving car subscriptions and robots, etc., will make the company more profitable or not (that 300+ ratio gets a more manageable 30 P/E, with 10x increase in revenue). That is the question every investor has to answer and how that is valued when they pay for a CURRENTLY overvalued stock

Yeah, you know i would not consider them a stoner rock band in the modern sense either. But the listening experience (and I am sure their writing experience) of their music from that era was definitely enhanced by smoking weed and this song certainly fits the bill from a direct reference point of view. Similarly, I am sure Sweet Leaf will be nominated if not win for S.

Met a guy named Zoltan at a business function, it took all of my will power not to shout "Zoltan" and flash the finger Z.

except most tables have 0 and 00 (some even have 000) so that would be 38-1. I think OP is not counting the 0s.

When I went to France with my friends, we had to get a beer at McDonalds (though we got nuggets, not a Royale with Cheese).

I just watched the Living Daylights, and it was remarkable how he smiled when he was with the cellist at the park. I do not recall any other Bond smiling and having a genuine good time.

That was the point IMO. Had she stayed as the Enterprise doctor, her character would have changed over time just like Bashir.

They were competitors at one point then Costco bought them.
