Last time I saw a burrito that was anywhere near 20 bucks was in a Mexican place in KC; it was the size of a loaf of bread and I think it was maybe $ 16?

Frozen moment from playdowns last month: running into a Solterra driver at the charger (got to the NACS port just before I did) who was 1) from Duluth and 2) somehow knew absolutely nothing about curling.

A venn diagram about car companies

The three circles are labeled:
1. Founded by antisemitic lunatic
2. Has made cars that were infamously unsafe to drive
3. Founder was coke-up out of his gourd

Ford (Henry Ford) is 1 and 2
Volkswagen (founded indirectly by Hitler) is 1 and 3
DMC (John DeLorean) is 2 and 3
Tesla (Elon Musk) is 1 2 and 3 right in the middle of the venn diagram

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

To O’Mara, the diet is not just a temporary means of losing weight but a way to eat for good. He has been doing it for 10 years, and credits it with turning his life around. At one point in our conversation he pulled up the Bristol Stool Chart, which ranges from Type 1 (“separate, hard pellets”) to Type 7 (“watery, no solid pieces”). O’Mara is consistently delivering Type 4 (“smooth, soft, like a snake”), with pointed ends, indicative of healthy rectal function, he told me. “When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.”

“I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

Happy There Will Come Soft Rains Day to all who celebrate. (Especially those in Allendale, California.) short-stories.co/@raybradbury...

A screenshot of the beginning of a short story. The title “There Will Come Soft Rains” is at the top, and then the author’s name (Ray Bradbury) then it says it’s a five minute read with a PG-13 rating.

The first view paragraphs of text then read…

In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o’clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o’clock! As if it were afraid that nobody would.

Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!

In the kitchen the breakfast stove ejected eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunnyside up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk.

“Today is August 4, 2026, the city of Allendale, California.”

Now Boys!
what do you know
about SOAP?
Who said nothing"? Take no notice of him. He himself is probably
ignorant of the fact that even the greatest scientists do not know all
there is to know about soap, in spite of the fact that they use it every
day of their lives! However, any boy can find out enough about soap
to be able to tell mother if she is using a good one or not. All dirt is
held to fabrics by a thin film of invisible oil. Ordinary soap breaks up
this film and allows the water to get at the dirt and swill it away. But it
won't come away without boiling and rubbing the clothes first. That's
why mother so dislikes washdays. They mean such hard work. FELS-
NAPTHA Soap is different. It has real naptha in it. Naptha dissolves
grease. The clothes just have to be soaped with it and soaked in warm
water. The stubborn oil film is gently dissolved away and the soapy
water loosens the dirt. Then a rinse swills the dirt away, and the washing
is done, quickly, easily,
safely. Which method is
the easier? The second,
undoubtedly. Give
mother a surprise! Send
for a free sample of FELS-
NAPTHA, explain to her
how to use it (the direc-
tions are inside the
wrapper) and never more
will she have to endure
the old-fashioned wash-
day. Won't mother be
pleased! Send to-day.

The Katy Freeway's 26 lanes and $3 billion price tag offer a cautionary tale: induced demand means more road capacity simply generates more traffic to fill it.
