My poor '98 Honda civic's front bumper was literally ripped off in a mall parking garage - someone backed into it, then must have hooked something, and floored it. The police said they couldn't do anything because it's private property, and the mall said they didn't have any security footage because, "we don't film the garages - it would be a liability". I'm in the Midwest of the US.

Musk insisted backyard tomatoes weren’t as good as those you can buy from the store, but people still do it anyway.

Spoken like a man who has never grown tomatoes at home.

I hated tomatoes until I ate a home grown Black Krim sandwich. Now there's the added benefit that I know it's not covered in salmonella or diarrhea parasites.

I could barely get my 78 year old mother in law to use Linux for web email after theming it like Windows.

How the heck am I going to get her to understand getting her roku to be VPN into my house for jellyfin when we're 1000+ miles away and trying to troubleshoot over her home phone?

(She doesn't even have a cell phone - for pictures she digs out her 20 year old digital camera, snaps a few pics, uploads them to her laptop, attaches them to an email, and only then do I get to see what she's seeing.)

You're all wrong. We open on the Nevada desert and the president grabs Oppenheimer by the shoulders shaking him vigorously saying, "BUT WHAT ABOUT HYDROGEN!!"

Smash cut to the Bikini Atoll, the hydrogen bomb going off, and a pan over to Einstein (played by Bruce Campbell in a wig) saying in a very thick German accent, "Oh boy, here we go again!"

80s guitar riff starts and OPPENHEIMER 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO comes across the screen in neon yellow and pink.

Then you could do what I did while I waited the three weeks for the electrician - run an extension cable draped over our bathroom sink to the bidet. 😅
