  • The trial was already over. This was for the sentencing.

  • Unrelated anecdote:

    Years ago I had a cheap Blackberry lookalike phone. It had a button lock feature to prevent butt dialing, but some bright spark decided that the lock wouldn't apply to the '9' and '1' keys, presumably so that a user could dial 9-1-1 even if too panicked to unlock the keypad. Which just meant that it was really easy to butt dial 9-1-1...

  • Whose Line Is It Anyway?

    They make me laugh even when I'm sad.

  • The hands are too big.

  • I stomped the beans myself.

  • If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for "safety", then it's too dangerous to be road legal.

  • We must blame them and cause a fuss

    Before somebody thinks of blaming us!

  • Mike Duncan's The History of Rome and Revolutions podcasts (particularly the French Revolution series).

  • If forward time travel counts, then yes by a large margin.

  • Good Moleman to you.

  • I was taught that the point of a thank you note is to get your name in front of them one more time. It's a form of advertising; they might have done 5 interviews that day, 5 the previous day, and have 5 more scheduled for tomorrow. You want them to remember you over the next person who has the same qualifications.

  • Data has always understood humor. He may not experience the emotion of mirth, but you don't need that to understand humor. He is pretending not to understand as a practical joke.

  • At least Alexander got to join the House of Martok. All Kurn got was a memory wipe.

  • Pretty sure she's flipping me off.

  • Arguably, that's what happened. The three estates (noble/clergy/commoner) were summoned by the king to an Estates General to discuss political changes, which led to the establishment of revolutionary government.

  • What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?
