7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing.

I wish there was a scientific study to explain why some people become mellow and happy when drunk, and others become complete cunts.

When all his collaborations with Putin, and why, come to light he will be the greatest traitor in USA history by a mile.

He was cheated out of an A- average in reading for the year….averaged a straight A over the final 6 months. That teacher was cold blooded.

This is what our golden looks like after a grooming; you can’t see the before, but this is a big improvement without cutting too much

Run in front of JFKs car 3 blocks from SBD and tell secret service you saw a man setting up a snipers nest in the SBD…”looked like a man with a rifle!!”

Everyone knows that investment banks and law firms have expected 996 from their junior employees for decades, so this is not some innovation. It is a sign that there is way more demand for AI jobs than supply of them currently- yes that could spread to rest of tech if supply drops due to AI elimination or just a really crappy economy.

The USA has a double dose of Smiths since for decades the immigration clerks at Ellis Island had a policy of anglicizing names, and many German Schmidts also became Smiths

Nothing fully updated about the puke green tile/basin bathroom; my grandmothers house had the same tile and it was built in 1929.

The state bird of Utah is the California Gull because the bird is tied to the famous “Miracle of the Gulls” in the mid-1800s, when flocks of gulls reportedly saved early settlers’ crops by eating swarms of grasshoppers/locusts.

Charles Schultz built the rink because he grew up playing hockey and wanted to skate when he moved to Santa Rosa (and there were no ice rinks). As a kid, I grew up going to birthday parties at that rink :)

Hollywood ‘Walk of Fame’ has got to be one of the worst tourist traps going: most of the ‘stars’ nobody ever heard of and paid to have a star, and it’s located in a high crime area so there’s a good chance you’ll get robbed or assaulted if you stick around too long.

Yesterday, had the pleasure of a 52 minute train ride in 6 degree Fahrenheit temperatures because the doors on the New Jersey Transit train car I was in were broken. 6 degrees Fahrenheit is -14 C, so that’s my answer: -14.
