If my napkin math is right*, he was in college between 1951 and 1956; with gas ranging from .24 to .27 dollars a gallon.
Adjusting for inflation that’s be about $2.40.
Sunday I paid 2.90 at Costco. It seems he’s full of shit.
(My napkin math is notorious for breaking the laws of physics. Best do your own… or else we might end up dividing by zero.)
It wasn’t his birthday either. They just celebrate it then because of all the pagan holdiays leaving them out. (Yule… Saturnalia, bacchanalia.)
Humans have pretty much always done something around the winter solstice. Historically, part of it was there really wasn’t much else to do.
Most work could only be done with light. The shortest day of the year had little light and in any case mostly they were just waiting for spring to come while maintaining farms and shit. Also in the north they were kinda sorta trying to stay indoors and out of the frooking cold.
Chunnel went under the ocean, so it’s possible.
I wouldn’t trust Musk to competently tie my shoe and it doesn’t even have traditional laces.
Ellipse. Same but it doesn’t even roll that well.
One of the ones with Paris’ holo novels?
She wasn’t insisting on gender neutral pronouns.
Sje was angry people didn’t know her son was a son. Which they didn’t know because they were never told before (directly or indirectly). She intentionally chose to obscure gender for some reason and then got pissed people got confused.
I should have used “they” because babies aren’t “it”s, I could care less about disrespecting the mother, but the kid didn’t deserve that.
Same.
Same.
And the plant might be tacky and dusty, but it doesn’t smell, and say awful things.
This is why they got together and had salamander babies.
So like.
Isn’t that the thing that tried to take over starfleet by gau’ulding the command staff?
Janeway doesn’t care if he’s stupid, as long as his amphibian hindbrain can still make coffee.
I knew a lady, new mother, who insisted on putting her baby in green or yellow rather than pink or blue.
Which, wouldn’t be something to make fun of except she got furious when people misgendered the baby boy. Even more furious when some jackass named me got fed up and started referring to the baby as “it”.
She didn’t catch the point. The husband did, though.
(Hindsight says I should have used “they” but they’ve subsequently turned weirdly conservative, so maybe that would have pissed her off just as much.)
Surpising only the most inbred of the trump voters.
Less useful than those plastic plants, even.
How’s that working for you?
All Hallows Eve is more fun, anyways. Also the weather tends to be better.
They asked Grok to spit out more documents that implicate democrats.
Flatpak is the demiurge.
It would depend on if the deflector shields in Star Wars work to disrupt transportation or not. (Also on phasers.)
Also the kind of effects ion weapons would have.
Also the empire was never meant to actually be a competent military. Their vehicles are designed for terror, not practicality. Their pilots and infantry are all incompetent and mass produced.
In short they were actually designed to fail.
In any case, there’s too many assumptions that have to be made to put them in the same universe and that’s going to go which ever the way the judges want it to go.
I just fantasize about Miles having several thousand torps just transport in a cloud and zip off to eagerly suicide into something - and Kira’s snark, or maybe just have her glare with a twitchy eyebrow.
Or someone messed up programming the machine.
But still, that’s a score.
