The ninth wind is the strongest.

Depends on the meter, dude. There are thermo-meters, speedo-meters, baro-meter…

Do middle names count? My grandmother’s first name became my mother’s middle name. Then my sister and her daughter also got that middle name.

Jean-Luc Picard vs Professor X just playing chess. Alternating 2d and 3d of course.

After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar is like, “WTF”.

TGI Fridays stands for Thank God it’s Friday!

Lol, they can’t even decide if “Friday(s)” is singular or plural.

Is a pile of ammo just off screen to the left?

If it makes you feel better, you probably also hold a stake in their direct competition.

Cathulhu?

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it.

You see this (or used to, anyway) from time to time with gas strikes.

If it’s just a month of “don’t buy,” it wouldn’t do much in the long run. All that does is time-shift demand to when the strike is over. If the company can anticipate well enough, they’d raise prices when the demand comes back and come out ahead in the long run.

You have to use/consume less, and for an extended time period, not just change when that purchase happens.

But yes, with that caveat, use less, and choose the lesser evil when you do need to buy something. The individual effect is small, but small things add up.

I was working tech support at my university when all these search engines first started appearing. It was also the era of aggressive typo squatting domains.

AskJeebes dot com was a hardcore porn site.

I can’t give a first-hand account, but I’d think it should be enough to say you aren’t close with your family. The details don’t have to come unless things start to get serious, and even then, only what and when you’re comfortable sharing.

“My God thinks I should drink, and do drugs, and rob the blind and sick. I’m not entirely sure if that’s right, but I should do those things just in case I have to to get into his good graces.”

Even they have to think it sounds pretty silly when you turn it around on them.

The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine. I don’t want to do that. Right now, without any god, I don’t want to jump across this table and strangle you. I have no desire to strangle you. I have no desire to flip you over and rape you. – Penn Jillette

Shout out to my mom, who really drove us as a digital family when I was growing up.
