What if your task is later in the day? How do you stop from stressing about it the whole day?
- Comment on why dont we do this??? are we stupid?? 4 weeks ago:
It seems theoretically possible, with an unlimited budget and no time limit.
- Comment on At least he was a nurse on the walking dead lol 5 weeks ago:
Considering how many military roles he had, I’m going with Lt. Col. J.B. “Johnny the Duke” Thomas
- Comment on At least he was a nurse on the walking dead lol 1 month ago:
John Wayne played so many characters named “John” “Wayne” or “Duke.” So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles.

Bruce Almighty? His most memorable role.
- Comment on Are the 2020 tick marks where ALL voting in 2020 landed? Or just where early/mail-in voting landed? 1 month ago:
Yes, like a mail in vote that arrived on election day. It wouldn’t be included in today’s “early voting” numbers, but it would have been included in the total number of mail in votes in 2020 that I’m comparing it too. But don’t expect a big change.
The 2020 numbers might be deceiving and impossible to compare to. Mail in voting was heavily expanded, which skewed Democrat, so early voting results in 2020 skewed Democrat. Then election day skewed more Republican than normal too. It’s not going to follow that exact pattern again.
- Comment on Are the 2020 tick marks where ALL voting in 2020 landed? Or just where early/mail-in voting landed? 1 month ago:
Looks like the 2020 ticks are including mail in voting in 2020, which was heavily expanded during the pandemic. Places like North Carolina and Texas have immediately gone back to restricting absentee ballots. So yes there are less early votes, because they’ve gone back to restricting mail ballots.
Here I see there were just over 1 million votes by mail in North Carolina in 2020. Here I see that there were about 240,000 votes by mail in North Carolina through the 2nd. You could probably find a more up to date number, but you get the idea.

Simpsons did it!
“Well, frankly, test scores like Larry’s would call for a very generous contribution. For example, a score of 400 would require a donation of new football uniforms, 300, a new dormitory, and in Larry’s case, we would need an international airport.”
- Comment on Coliseum concession workers say they won't get severance, health insurance after last A's game 2 months ago:
That’s terrible and it sucks, but honestly they announced the team moving April 2023. They gave 1.5 years notice 1.5 years ago right? How much more do you expect?

That’s a loss. Gotta make room for what are essentially televised radio shows. Can’t have enough of those.
- Comment on WNBA expands to Portland, with team to begin play in 2026 2 months ago:
Not clear yet, no confirmation one way or another. I would assume the old name is still under consideration.

Maybe I’m explaining the joke, but Jon is supposed to be an Everyman.
- Comment on Lasagna 2 months ago:
I’m a huge long-term fan of the Garfield comics. Lyman basically ditches Jon with Odie. It’s never explained in detail because it’s a 3 frame comic. More optimistically, and “cannon” Jon was enthusiastic about inheriting Odie while Lymon left for unexplained reasons. Jon thought owning a dog would help him meet women.
- Comment on Lasagna 2 months ago:
Rare appearance of Jon’s friend Lyman, who doesn’t appear in hardly anything after 1980.

Who’s making you use it?
It’s useful for lots of things, but it requires a proof reader.
- Comment on Coming up with new names is hard 3 months ago:
They just named it after the place they were from and put “new” in the front.
