Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

The same reason any actor does ads like that: because their careers are over. They're washed up, unemployed and desperate.

Same reason you have dudes like Joe Namath hawking those cretin Medicare Advantage plans.
nah, i guess they showed him a truckload of cash
 
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd call Bill Maher "awesome". But that day has come.

While driving on the freeway today, I got a lane departure warning even though I was in the lane and had to fight with my steering wheel for about half a second. I did notice that some of the painted lane strips were crooked. Would that have affected the lane detector?
 
^ Probably.

My car does that sometimes. If there are other markings on the road (artificial or otherwise) it can definitely throw off the detection system. So even if I absolutely did not stray from my line, the car will think I did.

And it will bitch at me. :lol:

i have those moments a lot - doesn't change that he's basicly a [insert rex tillerson quote here]
 
I have no idea who Rex Tillerson is, but I suspect that if I did, I would not care. :lol:

And in any case, here's a fact THAT doesn't change: Bill's not wrong. Not in any of those clips I posted, anyway.

See? There you go. Now I know, and I still don't care! It's win-win! :D

Besides, Bill Maher is obviously not a Trumper in any sense of the word, so I'm not really seeing where you're going with this.

you don't need to be trumper to be dropped into that shoebox - he has a tendecy to be a [insert ...] for totally different reasons
 
Been looking at exercise equipment reviews and it's disappointing to see the number of websites with "reviews" that are just glorified press releases with referral links to websites that they hope you will use to purchase the item. It's most obvious when they're talking about no-name Chinese equipment that are being sold on Amazon. And this is being done with tons and tons of different products.

Almost definitely.. The system is a much more sophisticated version of the line follower routine. Crooked lines would have thrown it out of whack.

We should all be so lucky to be as "washed up, unemployed and desperate" at that age.

My car must be too old, because I have no idea what you're talking about.

Randomly came across a YouTube video where the creator discusses Andy Serkis being the first actor to have two different major roles in Star Wars, not counting cameos, and the commenters all try to prove him wrong by bringing up repeat actors who have had bit parts and cameos.
 
So it turns out the asterism I'd been calling the "Little-er Dipper" for lack of a better name all these years was the Pleiades all along. Way to go, Birdbrain.
