The Book of Mormon is a wild ride.

I once worked for a big corporation that makes hydraulic rescue tools, where management somehow failed to grasp that the chief selling point of these tools is that they do the job reliably every time. No firefighter wants to be trying to get someone out of a car like, “Damnit! The cutter is acting up again. We should probably look into that.”

But the executives kept demanding that we add “features” to the tools that effectively compromised the reliability and then got all surprised Pikachu face when it was explained to them that the customers thought the tools were overpriced half-assed garbage.

I guess my point is I’ve seen plenty of incredibly stupid examples of management ignoring the engineers and yet somehow Musk demanding that radar be scrapped in favor of cameras is right at the top of the list. Especially if you want your customers to live long enough to buy your products more than once.

What about double barreled shotguns? Those are each going to require two fingers. I’m beginning to think the creators of this change.org petition haven’t really thought this through.

It’s called an elephant gun because it’s for shooting elephants. Not because it’s the size of an elephant. There is no way a horses hoof or an elephants trunk will fit in the barrel of a gun thats less than an inch a single freedom unit in diameter.

But you know what will? A finger. You’re just going to want to shove it in their really good because those cartridges pack a punch.

This brings new meaning to the phrase, “Paddle faster. I hear banjos.”

Reddit was never “mainstream social media”. Annecdotally, I have heard more people referring to Reddit in casual conversation so maybe it is becoming more widely accepted.

If that’s true, then I still have no regrets about leaving. If I wanted to look at a news feed full of hot garbage I would have stayed on Facebook.

Say old top, that is one fine lookin’ bowl of hot bewilderment you got there.

Gestures Broadly

See?? Bunch of fucking morons.

“Find 'em, fool 'em, free 'em, and forget 'em…”

Seize all the Halloween candy in the entire neighborhood with the rationale that some of them may contain weapons of mass destruction.

That depends on the state but at least in my state it requires a court order for both situations.

“Mrs. [Husbands firstname lastname]” is a pretty dated form of address. I feel like I don’t see that a lot anymore. Except in very formal situations and from people who don’t realize it’s out of style. It’s also seems to have become more acceptable to refer to all women as “Miss/Ms.” Regardless of her martial status. I sincerely doubt the address mistake was meant to be offensive.

One thing I do find infuriating is the fact that it in numerous states in the US, it is much harder for a man to take his wife’s last name when getting married than the other way around. A woman can mail a form and a copy of her marriage license to the Social Security Administration and get the DMV to reissue her driver’s license. That’s all it takes.

A man often has to get a court order which I think is very discriminatory.

Why use many frame when few frame do trick?

Apparently not if you’re actually trying to sink it yourself. Thats a one way ticket to getting your sub captured and placed in a large museum where people can witness your failure for generations to come.

Just ask the Germans.
