So nobody is going to ask about the rotary phone?

I'd rather not. It's literally a Dell workstation machine from the mid-2000s. It's like Wolfgang's Channel kryptonite

It's been so odd seeing Trump cabinet picks come in because it feels like he is just picking conservative celebrities, rather then actual politicians. Like it's still kinda crazy that fucking Elon Musk is gonna be in government.

I always thought about how interesting it is that handing things to people is so reliable. We just kind of know exactly when the other person has grabbed something enough for us to let go.

And then there's ones that don't have much of a modern-day effect but are still stupid. My English teacher truly believes that the Titanic was sunk on purpose for insurance purposes.

She also believes that a Secret Service agent might have shot JFK

So you might've been going west, but not westbound. Roads curve often in the USA (i'm guessing you are from the USA because 911)

the story seems like a good candidate for “missing reasons.”

Which is interesting as it's coming from reason.com

I don't respect cops to begin with. If I didn't know they were a cop then I would respect them.

I have never heard of Jill Stein until just a few months ago when I saw some article about her on the Lemmy homepage. Then I saw more and more articles about her. However, I don't really know why the media is paying so much attention to her. She is just a third party candidate, right? There are other third party candidates that aren't constantly popping up in the news. So why Jill Stein? I hear its something to do with Russia and a general sense of her goal being to take votes away from Kamala.

 

If I am driving on a road, and a flying saucer with a spotlight is hovering ahead waiting to land, do I have to stop in the roadway and yield to them? Or do they have to yield to cars in the road? I checked my states driving manual and they don't mention alien air/spacecraft at all.

I would guess that the UFO would have the right of way, as traffic would have to eventually stop for them anyways. Should I just stop in the roadway and put my hazards on so the flying saucer pilot is aware I am yielding the right of way to them?
