tiktok commented on Everything Wrong with Television, in One Handy Chart.
Maybe time to recognize that TV shows should only be two seasons long, aka the "Fawlty Towers" rule?
Maybe running an idea into the ground shouldn't the be model, because you never know you've jumped the shark until it's way too late.

@3: They do. I suspect that what happened here was that the truck carrying the oversized load was in the right-hand lane, which has less overhead clearance as the girders curve down to meet the uprights, and the load clipped the overhead girders. Had the truck been in the left-hand lane, I believe it would have cleared. If that's the case, this could be an error on the part of the truck driver, or the WSDOT maps which indicate the minimum clearance, or a combination of the two.

Personally, I'd be more worried about dogs getting into OTC Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, etc., which pretty much everyone has in their home.
All that stuff is quickly toxic to a dog, people often keep it relatively unsecured, and "child-proof" containers are very similar to all those treat toys where you load up a hard plastic container with treats and let the dog push it around until the rattly treats inside work their way out a small hole. If a dog's used to playing with one of those, and discovers a bottle of Aleve, it'll make a simliar sound, and a few minutes of determined chewing will break the bottle enough for the pills to come out.

Well, you know what they say--first they start poisoning your water with mind-control fluoride, next they start requiring you to pump your own gasoline. It's a slippery slope into a hellish post-apocalyptic future.

One man's "FEMA storm shelters" are another's "NWO windowless detention cells". Duh!

@118: Homosexual misanthropes are the best source of information on how women "should" behave. Everyone knows that.

@3: Whatever "extra" you spend on fair wages and working conditions provides a competitive advantage for someone else to not pay that, and either cut prices or just profit more. Consumers overwhelmingly don't give a shit, and hate the idea of fair wages in their own countries for anyone except themselves and people they know on a first name basis.

@2: More a measure of America's non-acceptance of bike funding so far.
Any transportation money spent on something other than car support is well spent.

"Meh. Given the choice between Obama and McCain, or Obama and Romney, I'd still vote for Obama."
Agreed. Oh right, I should have voted for Nader or Jesus Christ or someone else down the ballot.
