"How far do you think we can get on one engine?

"All the way to the crash site."

My anecdotal evidence: I have bought 6 desktop and 5 laptop Macs over the years for myself and children. One laptop gave up the ghost and wouldn't boot after 12 years. None of the other Macs stopped working. I had to discard some which just got left behind by the technology, like my MacPlus and the LC and the G3.
The first one I ever bought was the LC. I picked up the MacPlus at a secondhand store for $5, and it worked for several years before I had to let it go.
I have taken desktops and laptops in for repairs, but these things just won't die.

Zuck announced that Saudia Arabia has demanded that he cut his hand off for stealing the idea of Facebook. China wants him to shoot himself in the head and send them the price of the bullet for monopolizing their national social media. ISIS demanded that he cut his own head off, just because. Thailand is suing him for war crimes for letting their King be ridiculed on Facebook. Alabama is sending sheriff's deputies to arrest him because a state legislature saw the edge of a nipple on some random teenager's profile picture.

This scenario involved flying saucers powered by strings. Bela Lugosi was to have been put in charge of the interim government, but this plan was deemed unworkable when the principal contact with the alien subcontractor concluded that earth people were stupid.

All he has to do is shadowban all the voters in the other party.

My Lord, I request permission to knock in any door in Boston which my men find latched.

Perhaps people will now be more circumspect in what they put in emails. As Martin Lomasney allegedly said, ""Never write if you can speak; never speak if you can nod; never nod if you can wink."

I would really feel more at ease if it were the robots signing this promise.

It took me many years to realize that laziness was the best quality a person could have. A lazy person invented the shovel while the gritty geterdoners were still digging with their hands. A lazy person invented the backhoe when the industrious were busy digging with their shovels. A lazy person invented the automobile when their hard working neighbors were grooming their horses.

Someone please tell me something Gates invented other than how to lawyer your way to a billion.

damn it

If this argument has any legs, then states bordering Nevada can begin to stop and detain women on their way to work in legal brothels, citing the Mann Act.

Ah, we found the middleman.

If only the heat flow in the earth-ocean-atmosphere system was as easy to follow as the cash flow in the Koch-denialists-politicians system.

This is a dangerous precedent for Hollywood. Suppose I am a character actor in a major motion picture and my parts mostly end up the floor in the first release of the print. I could now go to court to stop the distribution on copyright grounds because I was mislead as to the extent of my screen time? Any one of the cast could hold the whole movie hostage under this ruling.
