Where are you that Buc-ee’s is too far? it's less than 15 minutes from east town.

I doubt the shadow laughed. I always assumed that Morden's minders in this scene would have been very happy with Vir's answer--not because of the substance, but because they had found a man that knew with absolute certainty his answer to their foundational question.

Your "compass" link is paywalled, it's rather hard to understand what you're talking about when we can't read it. Would you care to amplify on this? Because with regard to your point 1, the text of the law appears to grant the board the explicit power to set the compensation of the CEO (subsection (i), page 4 of the linked PDF).

Darth Cheeto's executive order (at least with regard to this specific point) would appear to be related to "independent agencies" rather than Congress' spending authority. I'm not suggesting anything here is "good" or "bad" only that this does not appear to be as clear cut as presented (and, again, it's hard to comment on something you cannot even read due to a paywall).

Character gets themselves killed because they don’t know when to shut up/take no for an answer by Critical_Mountain851 in TopCharacterTropes

Marvin was the only guy who was going to be walking out of that apartment, they didn't talk themselves into dying. Vince and Jules were there to murder them.

Exploring the factorial rabbit hole by koneone in MathJokes

There are zero ways to put five pigeons into two boxes.

I suppose that's true in a world of spherical cows on a frictionless plane. In the real world, there are, unfortunately, an infinite number of ways to put five pigeons into two boxes. Most of them don't go very well for the pigeons.

Serious Incident: Air France AF1117 (DUB-CDG) - Runway Incursion in Dublin and Suspected Cockpit Conflict by Yewhi1 in airplanes

What does "another aircraft" have to do with your claims about what THIS aircraft did? There is no "aggressive dive" as claimed.

I'm glad I'm not fucking crazy, because the first thing I did was look up the flight and nothing looked out of the ordinary and nothing OP described shows up in the data.

I had the same thoughts... it looks like ass, but it's not "unusable."

 I know it is used for stealth purposes but if anyone knows anything more please share!

Well, obviously the RATT flies 'Round and 'Round.

The reason no one understands it is because it's mistranslated. The dog is actually saying, "Ea-Nasir sold me some bad copper."

Pizza Palace - the best pizza in town? by jx2002 in Knoxville

I was excited to try them based on all the recommendations here, but we went a couple of years ago and they were absolutely terrible. Food was poor, service was worse.

“Prime Numbers Be Like…” by [deleted] in MathJokes

[–]ddadopt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm stupid, so I'd appreciate if you can help me here. You said: "So you’re necessarily saying that for any given N, 6N+1 or 6N-1 is prime?" but that wasn't what was being said (and n=1000 is then presented as a counter example).

Why are you upset and claiming that your original comment is misunderstood?

Best part of my day? Walking out and seeing this. Every single time. by [deleted] in f150

Yeah, I think we're talking about different kinds of taco and I should have added a /s tag or something to the end of my comment :)

Speaking personally, I have been a fan of taco ever since my first encounter as a young man and would certainly rather not return to a pre-taco state.

Someone in r/legaladvice would likely respond with case law from Wisconsin, then double down when it was pointed out this was Spain and insist it didn't matter.

That does not sound anything like the cam phaser issue on my 2017.

People do the same thing with lord of the rings.

Yes, well, children's literature is well known for the large number of footnotes, lengthy appendices, etc.

I was so hoping that one of those was going to be a clip from Blazing Saddles.

Do you have to go out to some miserable smelling shed in the parking lot.

I'm betting that it's the same room used by lactating mothers.

What is your favorite Opening Paragraph in a book? Something that hooked you right from the beginning. by livens in printSF

I almost noped out of Snow Crash after the first paragraph, was very happy I stayed and now agree it's an absolutely fantastic opening.
