If i recall, Northwest air (called it NorthWorst due to their less than excellent customer support) bought Delta outright, then used that name. Still here? Diabetic passenger denied food due to multiple poor excuses went into coma in flight. An example of many.

I do corny dad-humor. It seems to help. Perhaps i should engage in some Jon Stewart like political humor. It's a new genre for me, but i could be ready for it.

College cross country practices are 15 miles 2x/day. Was told, "run a mile, eat a donut, & you're even". Practices = 9k calories. My diet was about 2500, & gained 10 lbs in 12 weeks. Had fat to lose, didn't. Calorie estimates are now ~3k/day. Need to measure dragons, not extrapolate.

In semiotics, "floating signifier" means a word or term that has no agreed-upon meaning. "Liberal" is a great example of that. So is "democracy."

Experienced the high desert in Arizona, 121 F. We were going hiking, had lots of water, etc. 100 yards down the trail i asked where we were going. Between those two hills and round back of the right one. No, we're not going to make it there, much less back. We turned and left. Had lots of water.

Haven't been to Texas other than drive through for decades. Suppose the fire ants are thriving. Got ample warning about them so never experienced how they got their name. I like it hot, but not so much that i'd prefer fire ants.

If space is a vacuum who changes the bags?

Dyson changed space to be a bagless vacuum.

From all the freeze dried foods, compacted washcloths, and other miniaturized accouterments used by astronauts, it seems there is very little space in space.

Just as well. Thunderstorms start at 2 am. I'm a bit skeptical, because the prediction was for thunderstorms starting at 2 pm, 6 hrs ago. So, maybe.

An Ontological Argument: Define God as a perfect being. Lack of existence is an imperfection. Therefore God exists. A canonical counter argument: Nothing is better than complete happiness. A ham sandwich is better than nothing. Therefore, a ham sandwich is better than complete happiness.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.
