Then I wondered why those aliens looked so much like RuPaul and Bjork.

I wouldn't have even questioned it (even if I recognized them, which I wouldn't have). Lots of people guest-star on Trek.

There is the potential for sudden brittle fracture of the part that was bent twice (which I assume was the rear triangle, since that's kinda the only part that can "misalign" relative to the rest of the frame). Having your rear wheel break off while you're riding would definitely cause an immediate crash, but not one quite as dangerous as having the front suddenly go.

The trouble with aluminum is the "sudden brittle" part. One of the reasons the "steel is real" people like it better is that it typically fails by bending first and thus gives you some warning.

One such "lie" was his questioning the usefulness of masks in like Dec 2019.

It was more like Feb or March 2020 and was deliberate in order to try to stop the panicked public hoarding masks so that medical workers could have them.

No matter what Trump does, it won't put the strait back in the status (in terms of freedom of navigation) it was in before Trump attacked. Iran fully controls it now and can impose whatever restrictions it wants, and there is nothing the US can do about it.

To be clear, packing up and going home is absolutely the correct thing to do, regardless. But even that is not "a way out" of the consequences because there is no "way out" of the consequences. Trump's damage is permanent and unfixable.

I've heard it called a "Shatner comma."

No, I fucking can't. As I already said, I did read the article and it wasn't actually clear whether all four calls were from completely distinct groups of people.

Caller #1 was "a woman."

Caller #2 was "a woman... and another man."

Caller #3 was "some pickleball players."

Caller #4 was completely undescribed.

For all we know, it could've been the same woman in all four cases: maybe she's with a man sometimes, and maybe she plays pickleball. It isn't specific enough to rule that out.


I'm getting kinda tired of assholes making stupid assumptions about whether I read the article or not and getting them wrong.

YOU ARE LITERALLY THE FUCKING DICTIONARY. YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT! 😡
