For fun, here's a link to the 10,000-year clock, built by The Long Now Foundation. The level of modern engineering, and planning, that it takes to build a clock that will operate for 10,000 years is fascinating. When you stop to think about, say, the trope of a mechanism that will slide back a 20-ton rock door reliably after 2,000 years is quite ridiculous.

Indeed, never try to outrun a bush fire. Stand your ground, make yourself look big, and intimidate it by staring it down.

Correct, I am privileged not to live in Oklahoma.

Only been to Oklahoma briefly, but I think you have to harbor a deep, deep self-hatred to love there.

Does it now? Prove it.

Okay, dumb question: Where's the video frame that shows the contact with the vehicle? The photo with the caption "ICE Agent 1 and the vehicle appear to make contact" just shows a close up of a giant turd. Certainly no vehicle in view in that image.

Same reason spree shooters choose gun free zones.

LOL. Might wanna get acquainted with what reality says 'bout that...

"FIFA PASS" to fast-track visas? Sounds like a convenient cover story for terrorists to get in easily.

How could she transfer the Nobel prize? Sure, prize winners get a medal, a diploma, and monetary award, but what's really important is the recognition and the honor of being a Nobel laureate. A lot of them give the prize money to charity, and...

...oh lord, it's the gold medal. [REDACTED] is such a toddler that he's captivated by shiny, gold baubles.
