MODERN TIMES

For years my wife put up a Festivus pole at Yuletide.

He was a very funny man.
^^A4^^ 

The internet has forever changed how we make people famous.

This guy is recognized all over the world from one stock image.
 ^^A5^^

Here's someone similar...

If you would like to hear how he reacted to a double rainbow:

And on the internet, everyone can express their opinion.
^^A7^^ 


People do the dumbest things just to be seen on your computer.
 ^^A12^^
  
They even do remarkably dangerous things...on purpose.

Let's take a look at a still of the final moments...

And the internet responds...

^^D13^^


And now we wait...
^^A8^^ 

Everybody seems to want to believe all the answers can be found in conspiracies.



^^A9^^ 

But there are some problems that are very, very real.
The rich hire politicians through campaign contributions and we feel powerless to change that system.
^^A10^^ 


What an American thing to do.

Hellfire Missile Searching Test

 ^^B2^^ 


Vickers Wellington DWI fitted with a 48 ft diameter metal hoop used for exploding enemy mines by generating a powerful magnetic field as it passed over them.
A separate engine (either a Ford V8 or DH Gypsy Six) was used to power a Mawdsley electrical generator to induce a magnetic field in a 48 ft diameter loop mounted under the fuselage. They had a solid nose with a bracket supporting the loop, which was also supported under the rear fuselage and the wings, outboard of the engines. DWI stood for "Directional Wireless Installation" – a cover story for the true purpose of the loop. The magnetic field simulates that of a ship so by flying low over the water, it would detonate magnetic mines with little risk to itself.

How to keep wasps away from your home in seconds with no chemicals.

Grab a few sheets of newspaper, wad them up into a gourd-like shape, and tie it up on her balcony. Doing this tricks the wasps into thinking this territory has already been claimed and will keep them away from that area.

Humans for scale.

Weird plant growing out of storm drain...

I've seen enough sci-fi to know it should be attacked with fire...immediately.

Sometimes I think the human body is amazing, how it can fight disease, heal from injury, create new life, and other times it lets me choke on my own spit.

When you let your brother print your boarding pass...

Jets passing within 1,000 feet of each other...
That ain't right, Y'all.
 ^^D5^^ 


  ^^D6^^ 


That's a Ferrari. 
^^D7^^ 

AND SOMETIMES IT'S YOU WHO WON'T EXPECT IT

It is what it is...
  ^^D8^^ 


  ^^D9^^ 


Wait for it...
  ^^D10^^ 

When my wife tells me I cannot possibly make the situation worse.

All your sniping against "capitalism" won't change the fact that we would be impoverished under any socialist system. If you want unequal shares and poverty then go for socialism.

There is a small type of fish that will bite you hard enough to draw blood, in the Ionian Sea. It is attracted to mosquito bites and the locals call it the “hurry up fish” as it will usually leave you alone if you are moving!
