I was going to say that the Judges in Judge Dredd are so much closer to reality than we think, but actually not even the fictional, exaggerated judges are this petty or image-obsesses.

Most definitely intentionally. Everytime I use Google meet it reminds me that because I'm using Firefox I can't use all the features.

Until Google pulls the payment they do to have it as default search engine and it goes to hell

Or someone delivered a complaint and when he laughed them off decided to burn down his house

Maybe it worked as character assassination, which, good?

The fact none of you have said Fiat 500 is astounding. Both the older and rebooted version

The paper's authors clearly said that they didn't have the resources or connections to explore other filled pasta, so they chose to focus mostly on Mediterranean and select other filled pasta shapes. They never meant it to be exhaustive. It literally says:

The addition of other filled pasta and dumpling varieties from across Italy and Eurasia and the inclusion of other informative characters that can add further resolution to the phylogenetic inference are the next steps in this research. Evaluation of elements such as taste and methods of consumption would require surveys and experimental design and can perhaps be considered in a subsequent, more inclusive study on all Eurasian pasta ripiena.

I have my own issues with the paper, but they never claimed to have mapped all filled pasta shapes in the world.

Ah. To me it looks like a regular phylogenetic tree so I was very confused.

I thought that Ravioli had become fascist coded or something.

Wait what, I'm confused. I know one of the authors of the paper and I thought it was an interesting methodology applied to food.

So, a very talented friend of mine is having an exhibition of her art at a small town close to where I live. Its a 30 minute drive, but 2 hours on public transport, with 2 buses, one train, and a long walk under the summer sun on the way. Whatever, I'll sleep/read on the way, right?

so I show up at the bus station 10 minutes before the bus takes off, the bus arrives, and the driver gets off and turns off the bus. I think he's just going to the bathroom, to take a break, smoke a cigarette, whatever. Nope. He never returns.

I've now been standing at the bus station for an hour after the scheduled departure time, staring at the switched off bus, and fuming about how I have just lost 20 bucks because I missed all the other buses and trai (i had to buy the tickets beforehand), how now I can't get to the exhibition without being late for work, how I will have let down my friend by not showing up and supporting her, and how this wouldn't have happened if I just had a fucking car and wasn't a depressed mess who can't find energy to do anything until the very last moment, letting down everyone around me.

I don't normally get angry, but this whole thing has made me very upset.

Pretty good analysis of the movie, a couple months too late. K&S with another banger.

I haven't seen much western coverage of this disaster, so i figured i'd share. Solidarity with the people of Libya in this horrible situation.

As i'm going up in deadlifting weight, i find my grip gives way earlier than any other part of my body, making me lose reps because the bar feels like it's slipping off my fingers. I tried incorporating hook grip into the exercise, and while the bar felt a bit more secure, I felt my middle finger was rubbing against my thumb nail and making it feel like it was pulling it out, and causing a bunch of pain, and no matter what I tried it always came down to that when the bar left the ground.

Any advice?
