I didn't know and she's old enough that I would have left it up to her if she wanted to go or not. I'm not actually afraid she'll be the unlucky kid who gets shot by a dumbass or run over by a SWAT vehicle that pulls up at 40 mph because they want it to be realistic. Mostly I'm just pissed that, yeah, this country is a ****ing joke.

I will be very happy if Brady plays the worst game in quarterbacking history tomorrow.

This article states 10 percent of everyone who swallows a wooden toothpick dies from it. I don’t think I have ever swallowed a wooden toothpick but that stat is alarming.

They already have almost completely separate Facebooks. I've blocked all but the lightest posting right-wingers for my own sanity, and I'm sure right-wingers have done the same to me.

So apparently the twitter app on the phone insists on showing their BS "curated" view (which isn't even smart enough to not show me tweets I just saw on my computer 2 hours ago) instead of most recent tweets first.

I can change it to show latest tweets first with the stupid sparkly thing in the upper right, but after a day or so it always reverts back to the curated view. There doesn't seem to be a permanent setting. Is that everyone else's experience?

So far I only had to switch it from "curated" to "newest first" once, but i fear that Twitter will go down the same stupid "algorithm" path as Facebook did years ago.

Now FB is back to it's usual favorite ad for me:

It's figured out that I like hiking. Unfortunately I need the fat hiker singles site.

And now I'm getting this just from googling PF Changes menu in another tab. **** right off FB.

Oh yeah - the other biggest thing is there are a bunch of traveler groups and ex-pat groups that were invaluable for my trip. Also I keep up with people I met on the trip with FB.

That doesn’t look like Chinese chicken at all. I wouldn’t eat that if I had a million dollars to spend on chicken.

It's like the regular site it just stops loading 4 or 5 times to let you rest.

It was research for a discussion we're having in the programming forum LC thread. Apparently Aussies love them some salt and pepper squid.

Coworkers seem to like to go to PF Changs a lot. And one buddy of mine loves it for some reason. I like the dry-rub ribs. Everything else is ok, but super salty.

IMO PF Chang crispy honey shrimp is best shrimp dish available at a national chain restaurant.

Ok FB has me nailed now.

So much to unpack here. Sensitive guy who looks like he's about to cry admits to wearing Lululemon shorts. But as awesome as they were, the fit and fabric just wasn't doing it for him while he was killing it in his personal workout dungeon.

I guess when you're in the habit of actually sitting on your weights, which seems real dumb for a lot of reasons, shorts construction becomes more important or something.

Former UFC LW champ Ben Henderson snuck a toothpick into the cage.

Purdue Pharmaceutical redacted parts from big law suit have been revealed.

Besides the Sackler family paying themselves 4 billion dollars on the back of Oxy sales, my favorite is their code name Tango project which intended to create addiction treatment drugs.
