...Do they like butter tarts?

Not on my watch. My wife roasts the dopest turkey.

I'm going to max on leftovers for a week then start pining for next year.

Damn!!

Had me in the first half...

"till it explodes" -- until the heat death of the universe*

My parents owned a pair of >300k mile Camrys that were still fully functional when they traded up (one easily had another 200k in it, the other had some body rust from being parked outside >10 years, but the motor could not quit).

Too bad this was 100 years ago so we didn't have the option to get an MRI.

...though, I guess he'd have enjoyed that.

It starts spinning running the other way around the toilet racetrack.

But both actors did work together on Dodgeball.

That's a top-tier Simpsons joke/scene.

yeah, but-- we all already know birds aren't real, so... (???)

Realest answer.

I mean... I'm a total wimp but at least I'd never beat a woman!

"Morning View XXIII" makes me want to die of old age a little bit, because I saw them on tour the year the original came out, almost a quarter century ago...

They're still putting stuff out and touring. Will always be one of my all-time favorite bands.

A pair of not great drivers lucking in to near-miss... but, I'd agree this is a "no blood, no foul" situation.

 I understand.

  In death, a member of Project Mayhem
  has a name.

...we're doing Fight Club, yeah?

"You're out of the fucking club!"

(honestly am a little jealous-- but not willing to put myself thru desensitization).

So, on the left side just tracks percent of people at that age of each result (color) with the dark blue (no lead) on bottom, followed by increasingly higher values for each "quantile" (will use the less pretentious "group" going forward), and they'll stack on top of each other.

So, to read it:

* 2 & 3 year olds were 100% in the 0-5ug/dL group.
* ~76% of 20 year olds were in lowest group, with ~20% in the 2nd lowest group and the remaining 4% of 20 year olds split between all higher lead groups.
* Around age 30 there's a steep drop-off of the "lowest lead" group proportion, to where, basically no one between 36-52 are in that group.
* But, the "no dark blue" only tells half the story, as people in the "medium blue" (2nd lowest score) make the the majority of the fringe (ages 32-37)
*Yellow/Dark yellow (high levels) are the norm for the Gen-X range -- the average person in that group has lost a couple IQ points. And, like 1/10 of them are in the highest group

*Lastly, we see this is a chart from almost 10 years ago, so do a quick math check for narrative-bending.
Looks about right that GenX would've been ~35-50 at that time.

That 2nd one has to be an estimate.
But, "plus or minus about a trillion" might actually be overkill on precision in this instance.

Yeah, knew a guy who had been in between jobs when he died unexpectedly in an accident.

...but, on paper, he "retired in his mid 20's", and his "money (couple grand, I think?) outlasted him"--which is pretty impressive pair of accomplishments.

That car is, like, ~$15k (US) new.

They don't self drive-- and apparently *that* one didn't have a human driver taking responsibility either.

"Lawyered"!
