The shingles wouldn't have stayed over the hole well enough

  1. that's freaking adorable.

  2. where can I get that "welcome" mat?

That's a good rough estimate, but doesn't account for varying factors, like gender and weight. It also makes assumptions about the alcohol content in your drinks.

For example, the usual BAC calculator assumes 1 serving is 0.6oz worth of straight alcohol. That equates to 1.5oz of 40% liquor, a 12oz beer that's at 5%, or a 5oz glass of wine that's at only 12%. So at my weight, two servings over an hour puts my BAC at just 0.03, which is under the limit to operate motor vehicles in many countries. To be clear, I NEVER drink and drive, even after just one drink. But I'm this hypothetical scenario, I'm quietly sitting down in a plane seat, not operating machinery.

The last time I flew, my flight was delayed 4 hours. 2 drinks per hour wouldn't even put someone my size over the limit to operate a motor vehicle.

Fuck this guy.

Consider how long it takes to fly between each of those airports. I'll be completely sober by landing, and ready for another couple rounds considering I've got two fucking layovers.

My dude, have you ever been on a flight that's only 20 minutes?

I haven't even gone throufh an airport terminal in only 20 minutes.

Pretty sure the tax man can't find them if they're in a foxhole.

There... There aren't a lot of things that would change that...

This is just the current tech's version of a timeless problem, though. People have always been able to just say shit and cause problems because others believed them.

Examples:

Emmett Till was lynched back in the 1950s due to a lying white woman, becoming an iconic part of the civil rights movement.

In the late 1930s, the War of the Worlds story freaked a bunch of people out when it was first broadcast.

In 1897, Mark Twain's death was falsely reported enough that he publicly commented about it.

There's also the Great Moon Hoax in 1835.

William Anderton is a famous example of fake news from the 1700s.

we've even got fake news in ancient Rome involving Octavian, Marc Antony, and Cleopatra.

People will always be doing this dumb shit, whether it's a town crier, a printing press, or a social media site.

The key is to exercise critical thinking and promote its use to everyone.

The idea for a 4wk minimum is to combat spam. It can be quite a lot without these seemingly unnecessary restrictions.

Yeah it's getting pretty uncivil in these comments. Sorry, op, comments are getting locked.

Cute photo though, it's an old school meme.
