Provided, of course, that the leaves are variegated.

Was probably on a mission from god.

Iirc, it was an energy/environment focus, so it was all about analyzing and comparing different energy sources wrt their usefulness, feasability, environmental impact, etc. This was in Houston, so the oil industry plays a huge role in the local economy, and funds the university endowments.

But yeah, the whole thing was pretty farcical.

Not that I recall. I didn’t know anyone else in the class, and I don’t remember anything coming up in the class group chat. I did get quite heated with him at a couple of points, but I’m pretty sure he still gave me an A.

I took an environmental science class in college, and the professor was a former president of Shell. As part of the curriculum, we had to read his book, Why we Hate the Oil Companies. Predictably, it’s a corporate non-apologia, which—hilariously—completely avoids engaging with why we actually hate the oil companies.

Tbf, none of the Predator movies are horror, either. This whole post is built on a lie!

For the record, they’re supposed to say, “There’s no ‘f’ in way!” In my experience, they usually say something more like, “What?”

The way I heard this joke as a kid was,

“How do you fit an elephant in a Safeway* bag?”

“I dunno, how?”

“You take the ‘S’ out of Safe, and the ‘f’ out of way!”

Then you would hope they actually arrived at the punchline, but you’d often have to prompt them a bit.

*Safeway is a regional American supermarket chain

Sad little king of a sad little hill.

Looks like it’s Majid with one “j”. Found this page; which seems to show the character OP mentioned, Lieutenant Maryam. Can’t find when she was first featured—wikipedia just says she was added later.

That’s a great movie! I haven’t really started showing my daughter (9) scary movies yet. I was terrified of spiders for like a decade after seeing Arachnophobia as a kid, and those Scary Stories books gave me nightmares for years, so I’m reluctant to expose her to media that might trigger something like that for her. Tough to know when it’s the right time—or at least, that’s been my experience.

But that can’t be right! I have it on good authority that A&W stands for Amburgers and Woot beer!

I’d totally forgotten about this show, but I remember watching it, as well. Curious to see how it holds up.

Pretty good pizza at Woodstock’s, tho.

Kinda surprised that I haven’t seen any Conclave memes, what with the pope dying, and it being a recent, very relevant, movie. Watched it the other night, and it was great! I guess I should be the change I want to see.

It’s been working fine with my GTX 1060. I’ll probably get around to trying different distros at some point, but I’m pretty happy with mint. Most of the issues I’ve had with it have been due to its emphasis on stability; that is, it’s slower to incorporate changes than more cutting-edge distros. At least, that’s been my impression—I’m no Linuxologist.

Your comment resonated with me. I wish I had more to contribute, but all I’ve got right now is: you don’t seem like such a mean cow.

Fair enough. Bush is a war criminal, and no mistake. Still and all, Bin Laden did take responsibility for the attacks.

Even if only 1% of cops fall into that category, the percentage of cops that support and enable that behavior is much larger. Police unions routinely defend and endorse bad actors, and reinforce and propagate toxic warrior cop culture. The whole damn tree is infected, and needs serious reform. Unless and until that happens, ACAB is the best rule of thumb.

It’s because Llewellyn is a Welsh name.
