The reason Afghanistan doesn't top the Winter Olympics medal count is because all their best athletes are playing buzkashi
The reason Ethiopia doesn’t win the Super Bowl is because all of their best athletes are in long distance running.

I once had to master text layout for print, and I learned how to hyphenate properly and avoid widows and orphans, and none of that matters any more in the age of web text only, but I am still glad I had that experience. I also learned to drive on a 1966 MT Datsun. Same feel.
Manual transmissions are dumb. It doesn't improve MPG, marginally improves reliability over the lifetime of the car, and it doesn't give you "more control" over your car. You only say this shit cuz you made cars your personality and feel personally attacked when people disagree

The person at Calbee who came up with this monochrome bag idea needs to get an enormous bonus this year for scoring this much free coverage (and we haven't even gotten to the "here's my black and white potato chips" social media avalanche yet).

Eventually the arcane baseball stat and impenetrable monitor designation timelines converge and we understand that XWOBA and WUXGA are the same thing.

This is so great to see. We always did this (usually just with a hammer and a nail) in the hard drive days but then you could actually dust all those platters.

There was a 22.1% rise in cancellations in 2025 compared to 2024, up from 1,184 to 1,446. Forced deportations rose around 30% YOY to 318. Takaichi was PM for a bit over 2 months of this period.
Since the Takaichi administration took office, there has been a 22% increase in cancellations of residency status, and reports have suggested a roughly 30 % increase in forced deportations (year‑over‑year).

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁
