I’m more interested in the backstory of Bigfoot learning to change tires. Is this a regular occurrence? If so, do they usually wait for people to look away and zip through like a NASCAR pit crew or is there some communication involved? “Hey man, don’t freak out but I’m a Bigfoot. Looks like car trouble, can I help?” or something along those lines. The former would explain the usual blurry appearance in photos but I like the idea that buddy Bigfoot is roaming the woods doing some casual roadside assistance and asking motorists to please be discreet once they’re back on their way.
Either way, I’d probably keep quiet. Can’t outrun or out-fight them in the first case if they didn’t appreciate my disclosure. If it was the latter option, it’d be a real dick move to spill the beans after accepting a favor like that.

All religions are shit, some are more shit than others. Just depends on the degree to which they impede human progress by imposing arbitrary rules on their followers, offering a haven for abusers within their leadership structures and interfering with politics in general (but particularly where education policy is concerned). Negative value across the board.
I was in the middle of something in another room and it occurred to me that this familiar expression could be adapted for ADHD: A watched pot never catches fire. Good reminder to exercise a little extra caution in the everyday tasks that get boring but are still dangerous if you get complacent. Driving, cooking, poking around in...
I see some results for that and, as it turns out, a similar version that I’ve probably heard before but forgotten: “A watched pot never boils but an unwatched pot boils over”.
I can’t decide whether “Asbestos industry lobbyist, 1970(ish)-2024” is like mesothelioma for one’s resume or a sign to prospective future employers that they’ll keep up the fight for the almighty dollar until the last dying gasp of their cause is extinguished. Either way, that’s a bunch of carcinogenic old garbage heading for retirement.
Seems like the kind of thing a person does when they understand technology well enough to use it badly but don’t recognize that it’s ineffective against anyone willing to type “enable right click” into their search engine of choice.
How much do you want to bet that they didn’t write the JavaScript for that message and it’s just been copied and edited? Probably even right-clicked to do it, the scalawag.
A bat should be less affected by this uneven aging due to the whole sleeping upside down thing. They still spend some time upright so it balances out a little better than what you’d see with most of us who generally stay somewhere between prone/supine and standing up throughout the day.

If you got a flat tire and Bigfoot came out of the woods and helped you change it, would you tell people about it?
