Reply to TIL that method used to rob the banks in the movie The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) was the actual method "Friday Night Robber" Carl Gugasian successfully used for over thirty years. by Saint_Gut-Free
That was a great movie.
Serious, not Hollywoody, but great.
A good companion film is Winter's Bone.

Reply to TIL in 1979, in between a double-header, the White Sox exploded a crate filled with disco records to stands of over 50k disco haters. Thousands flocked to the field afterward, which became so destroyed that they forfeit the 2nd game to the Tigers - the last time in AL history. by JackMacWindowsLinux
The White Sox did not do that.
Steve Dahl, a Chicago DJ, did it.

Reply to comment by tetoffens in TIL the term "death row" comes from an assassination attempt on FDR. The shooter Giuseppe Zangara was sentenced to death, but there was already a convict awaiting execution, and FL law forbade them from sharing cells. A second cell was built, turning the "death cell" into the first "death row." by AdmiralAkbar1
FDR went to Florida with Anton Cermak, the mayor of Chicago. My understanding is that it's likely the Chicago mob wanted Cermak dead while he was out of town and that FDR may not have been the actual target.

Exactly, and we know that egg producers made record profits at least in the states.
Spinning a supposed supply crisis into profits should be illegal.

Reply to LPT: When debating or arguing with someone and it’s going nowhere, ask them, “What evidence would it take for you to consider that you’re wrong?” If they say “Nothing,” then it’s time to end the conversation. by blowfishmo
Example 1
A: This fork is made of plastic.
B: Oh yeah? What evidence would persuade you that you're wrong?
Example 2
A: Trump won the election.
B: What evidence would persuade you that you're wrong?
A: Trump admitting that he lost.
Nah, this whole LPT sounds good, but I don't think it's very practical.

Reply to comment by Pick_Zoidberg in Biden fires Architect of the Capitol after calls for his resignation by Picture-unrelated
Not everyone.
The Capitol Police knew, and they requested the national guard be brought in 3 days beforehand.
Someone intentionally made the National Guard sit on their hands.

People weren't shocked. This was an inside job.
I await further firings.

Well, we will see what happens.
Either the GOP turns on him or he passes away.
If he doesn't die before they turn on him, he will play whatever cards he has left.

The evidence is being held by Putin.
He may have even had instructions about avoiding blabbering.
That's hard to believe, but he still thinks he's running for president.
The Republicans have not split with him yet.

His favorite band is Rage Against the Machine, and he very specifically starred in congress as the Machine.
But seriously, I have my own pet theory.
Remember when Republicsns were opposed to Trump? Remember too when they all met with Trump and emerged lije docile puppies? Remember further when the word on the street was that Republicans were afraid of Trump?
Finally, do you remember that, when the Russians hacked the DNC and Assange leaked the contents, the Russians also hacked the RNC and never leaked anything?
My theory is that Putin handed Trump damning contents from that leak which he revealed to them in that meeting. Trump then threatened to expose them if they didn't cooperate.
Paul 'Rage Against the Machine' Ryan finishes the meeting by saying they're all family and drops out of politics ASAP.
Trump is holding seriously damaging info provided to him by Putin and using it to manipulate the GOP.
Bill Barr says Trump's election claims are bullshit but thst he's still voting for him? He says that Trump will destroy the Republicans if he doesn't get the nomination?
Trump is going to reveal something devestating if he loses the nomination or gets imprisoned.

Reply to TIL that the narrative that Coca-Cola designed the modern Santa Claus as part of an advertising campaign is not true, because Coca-Cola did start using Santa in advertising in 1933. But Santa had been portrayed almost exclusively in red from the early 19th century by giuliomagnifico
It's not about red.
It's about the plump dude wearing exactly that outfit.
That was inspired by a cartoonist named Thomas Nast.

OK, let's stop being silly about this.
Seals have been documented 15 km inland.
Here's a source:
https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/marine-mammals/seals/nz-fur-seal/what-to-do/
Lake Baikal is more than 15 km from any ocean.
Now, it's your turn for evidence-based argument.
If you post another generalization, we're done.

That may be an exception. Confused or weirded out should not turn into scared, upset, or angry. It loses its status as harmless at that point.
