I looked at at crime rates in American cities in 2012. The highest was in Flint, Michigan, which still has a lead pipe problem.

The Romans ate off of lead plates and enjoyed watching gladiators fight, women being raped by animals and other atrocities in the Coliseum. I’ve read dissertations that perpetuated the idea that lead poisoning was a major factor in this cultural phenomenon.

I was born in 1971 and grew up breathing lead fumes in a large city. Yes, I believe leaded gasoline and lead paint have been a serious problem.

I thought my parents were cold.

Cat is way better anyway. What other app can you pet and cuddle while it downloads your updates?

Why isn’t he orange?

It’s edumacated, not edumacted. Get it rite!

East Meets Southwest: Discard packet. Combine about 3/4 cup salsa (a whole cup if salsa is chunky) and 2 teaspoons soy sauce. May add about 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, if desired. Cook noodles, drain and add to sauce.

I’ve made this since the late 90s. If you like both Southwestern and Asian cuisines, you might like this.

My mother used to say “If wishes were horses,” and I had no idea where that came from. I didn’t get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it’s a very old saying so I guess adults weren’t always gross.

Oh, the poor gerbil!

Fedora. About 20 years ago I installed Fedora on my spare PC. I don’t remember the exact date but I can tell you the Fedora version was Yarrow. Yeah, a long time ago.

Anyways, my Fedora Yarrow installation worked great for less than 2 days. One update and I suddenly didn’t have internet. The Fedora maintainers decided to drop the driver for my ethernet card even though that particular hardware had existed for only 3 years. I was furious! WTF are you doing dropping drivers for 3 yo hardware?! Yes I can reinstall the driver but I shouldn’t have needed to. Linux has always had a hardware support problem and they were dropping drivers for hardware that wasn’t even 5 years old.

I’ve ran mostly Debian -based distros since and never had a similar problem. And I know that it’s petty and even silly after all this time but I’m never touching Fedora again.

Just so long as you leave after eating that many eggs.

The “Rex” in T-Rex means “king” in Latin. Therefore, the female T-Rex’s name should be Regina, which means “Queen” in Latin.

You know what you need to do --end the relationship. It’s only going to get worse. Never let someone abuse you if you don’t absolutely have to. There might be times that you’ll miss her but someone like that will escalate their abuse if you endure it.

I think you should call it Librarian.

There are many more. Go to distrowatch or search distros by name and you’ll find have a link on their site to computers with their system preloaded.

Oddly enough, that was my first thought too.

“Poontang” is an oldie that makes me laugh.

Take over Earth and have a seraglio of gorgeous men and women as my sex slaves.

It’s a common thing in this house. Both my roommate and myself do it. I’m a frequent midnight snacker. Roommate’s son isn’t though. It’s weird to me that you’ve never known anyone who doesn’t. Maybe it’s an American thing. I don’t know.

Claudish: This is a hard stop: cry havoc, and release the dogs of war.

Indeed it is, Claude.

Just look at them. They already are an empanada filling.
