I love this kind of stuff.
And not just because it suggests cool alternate versions of history.

Sadly, apparently Japan didn't have international telegraph lines until well after Lincoln's death...

That's exactly what they want you to think...

 

[GasBandit]

However, Japan sent its first delegation to the US in 1860, so it could have happened domestically then...

In banking, there is a concept called "know your customer", commonly abbreviated to KYC. I'm working on a translation related to KYC, and I keep misreading it as KFC, and now I'm getting hungry.

I loved KFC before I had to stop eating meat.

What difference does eating meat have on loving or not loving cardboard and grease with sauce?

I think you confused KFC with its sister fast food joint Taco Bell.

 

[Squidleybits]

Exactly! I even bought a Taco Bell button to wear today!

Drove from Spokane to Billings, MT today. Somewhere along the way my Fitbit buzzed at me that I'd gotten my allotted 10,000 steps for the day. I've also apparently climbed 117 floors and burned 2712 calories.

Not bad for sitting on my ass all day driving.

That's better than when I'm on a long drive, and while doing 70-80 mph on some highway, my Fitbit will buzz to remind me I need to get up and walk a few steps.

No, Fitbit, I really, really, really don't think I do.

No, Fitbit, I really, really, really don't think I do.

Mine did that about 12 times on Friday and Sunday last week. I’m going 84 on the interstate in Pecos County, I ain’t standing up to walk around.

I want to hear the whole thing now.

If you haven't read any books by Charlie N. Holmberg, you probably should. I highly recommend the Paper Magician series, and I need to catch up on my reading list for a lot of her other work.

Why bring this up now? Because:

What CR is Voltron?

Just finished double checking charges for our trip to West Texas last week. I really love our Honda Fit with trips like this. For over 1400 miles of driving we spent $140 total on gas (still have 1/3 of a tank in car now) and averaged 40.6 miles per gallon in fuel consumption. I’m dang well pleased with those numbers.

Most expensive gasoline per gallon was in Marfa Texas at $2.87 a gallon and cheapest was $2.71 in Katy Texas at Buccee’s, the best gas stations in the world.

That's ok. The first time I read your post, I thought you said 'baking'.

Ash should of let Pikachu battle. He would have dominated for sure.

It never occurred to me, but Smashmouth looked like if Guy Fieri were to be broken into his components and divided among 4 people.

Nah, they combine to make him, like a Saiyan fusion

Well cupcakes and crabcakes certainly aren't.

I think the hammer is dropping tomorrow for my job. I got a Zoom meeting request for 3 pm. This isn’t a rant yet because it’s not 100% but if that’s not what it is I have no idea.

I guess I won’t be getting much sleep tonight.

I am jealous of the people that have those 17 year cicadas. We get those bastards every year. And they are loud as hell right now.
