In the Roman Republic, it was understood that officials needed to line their pockets as much and as quickly as possible during their limited time in office. This is why term limits are also bad when combined with low pay.
When I lived there it was a piece of scotch tape holding the lid on. Because removing a piece of scotch tape is just too complex a technical task to possibly be accomplished in a car.
I guess drive-thru daiquiri shops aren't any more egregious than bars with parking lots.
Four years of "Merrick Garland is a professional and he is just making sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed before prosecuting trump".
Unrelated, but my elderly uncle drove a minivan with an automatic transmission that he drove like it was a manual. He would start from every stop by putting the shifter into "1" and then "2" and then "D" and then back to "N" when he stopped. He was a former Navy pilot (A-1 Skyraiders) and I guess he just couldn't accept the loss of control that goes with an automatic. It doesn't seem like this could possibly have been good for the transmission, but I dunno.
I remember years ago seeing a video about a company that was supposably developing tactile touchscreens. There was a layer underneath the LCD layer that could be puffed out with some kind of fluid to form bumps where the buttons were shown. Nothing has come of this, unsurprisingly.
My favorite thing is the cop cars that have an actual fucking laptop set up next to the driver. Nothing distracting about that, no sir.
For PA, you can get beer and wine in a lot of places
When I first moved here nearly 20 years ago, this was not the case. You could only buy beer at special stores where you could only buy it by the case, or you could buy individual six-packs to take home at bars and taverns. Wine was only available from the state-run stores along with the hard liquor (and this is still the case for the hard stuff). Coming from a state that had fucking drive-thru daiquiri shops, this was hard to accept.
I love children ... in 15 minute doses. That's why being a childless school bus driver is so great.
Yeah, that was only discovered in the 1990s.
My grandmother had her first child out of wedlock at the age of 14, her second child (my mom) out of wedlock with a different father at the age of 16, and her third child out of wedlock with yet another different father at the age of 17. And this was all in the 1930s. I strongly suspect grandma really enjoyed the sex -- otherwise, why go through all the social approbation and abandonment by her family that went along with it?
"Fascistic" means like fascism. This isn't like fascism, it is fascism.
Like shilling for Goya products from the Oval Office? Yes that's totally similar to turning down a raise.
