Double bingo. Yay me.

Edit: triple, I didn't even notice the diagonal

It was a stereo from 1987.

Ye Olde Analog airwaves, no fancy digital nonsense.

I tested this with my Facebook app in 2013. Found a Spanish radio station, set my phone down next to it overnight, and for several weeks I was seeing ads exclusively in Spanish. Deleted the app the first day I saw them in Spanish, and deleted my account not long after that.

My wife still uses them after 5 years together and me pointing out all the times it's obviously eavesdropping on us, and she's even been creeped out by it before. Still uses it...

Unless my microphone and camera have physical switches, I will assume they are being used. Those little "your camera and microphone are off" icons in the corner of the screen don't reassure me.

Jaywalking is a fake crime made up by car company lobbies to criminalize anything being on the road that isn't a car.

Bitch ass car peddlers trying to criminalize my natural way of moving...

A plan or program to accomplish a goal is a scheme, whether it's beneficial or not.

Handing out flyers that properly define what socialism and communism are with the intent of educating people that they aren't the boogeyman is still passing out propaganda, even if it's beneficial and correct.

So yes, scheme is appropriate.

This is such a weird comment, full of "NiCd batteries aren't good enough so solar/wind are useless because we can't store the power" energy.

It's a test reactor, it's meant to be smaller than the "big boys", and in a few years it'll be smaller and more efficient.

Sure, it's not going to singlehandedly power an entire country, but distributed power is better than localized. 1000 small reactors placed all over means less likelihood of system wide failure than a handful of large ones.

Let's burn this bitch down and start over with the common man in mind, and the needs of everyone met.

Or let's go find a new planet. With blackjack, and hookers.

Don't judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

That's why I specified or wingtip vortex.

In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn't leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of ~~people~~ conspiracy nuts refer to them as "Chem trails" right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

Well, I know what other video I'm never watching.

And people wonder why I don't like being around any vehicle that carries things...

If it's what I'm thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That "only someone experiencing ultimate suffering" can make?

If you know, you know.
