I had an Indian friend who flew from Florida home to Bombay, via Heathrow and New Delhi. As he was waiting there for his luggage he glanced down at his shirt pocket and noticed part of a joint sticking out.
I have this thing called a utili-key, which is a 6-in-1 multitool that folds up into the shape of a key. I've flown with it numerous times, TSA never even had a clue it was on my keyring. I went to one fucking Philadelphia 76ers game and they confiscated it. Perfectly encapsulates TSA.
I want to say he's mistaking it for the Belgian Congo, but he would have loved that place.
The fourth was extremely embarrassing as well, although who cares at that point. There's a defender there watching Lukaku literally flat-footed, even though there was nobody else around for him to guard.
At least with the header we had two defenders closely marking the guy, even though that just made it an even more spectacular goal.
What amuses me is the soccer fans here who think we're going to get better. I first encountered this in '94 when we (the US) hosted the world cup and got spanked by a Brazil team playing with 10 players. It's like Indians saying they're going to be good at basketball soon (they aren't, because they love cricket).
I got my Bluefire (a gadget that plugs into the data port of a big diesel truck and lets you create a digital dashboard on a tablet or phone) this way. Amusingly, their 20% off code was "AMAZON".
My theory is she went with bangs early in her career to hide the wrinkled forehead that she didn't even have yet. Cheaper and more effective than botox.
Adele has a god-tier voice, something that is absolutely not true of Taylor Swift.
Almost all of my exposure to recent pop music is either from late-night grocery shopping or from the swim club a block from my house that has a DJ three or four nights a week during the summer. Unfortunately that's enough for all of it. I can even sing along to fucking Imagine Dragons.
I had a friend who used to help out an old lady like this in his neighborhood. She had no children and when she died she left him a couple million dollars and her house. He had no idea she had anything.
My tax preparer had his tax software (expensive cloud-based shit that costs in the neighborhood of $30K per month) go completely down on him for a couple of months this spring (obviously not the best time for this). He had to have all of his clients file for extensions. When he told me about this I explained that it was almost certainly because the software company started using AI. He got all defensive and started saying how great he thought AI was, but it turns out he was talking about the use of AI instead of this expensive software and his employees for prepping tax returns.
I was already mentally picking out a new tax preparer, but when he mentioned that he was personally investing in a "reactionless space engine" where the inventor used ChatGPT to fix all the problems he was having with it, I made a point of starting the search that afternoon.
There's a guy in my town who keeps a herd of goats and rents them out for brush clearance. I assume his neighbors hate it but there seems to be nothing they can do about it. I've been meaning to ask him if he sells goat meat.
