Kids are obsessive. Not that that makes it any less impressive, but that’s how this happens.

Quick, go get your SUV and say they ran out in front of you!

It works well, until it doesn’t. That first part lulls people into complacency. I rented a Kia last year that had automatic cruise control and lane keep assist and it kept me on the road far past when I should have pulled over and taken a nap from being sleep deprived after a redeye flight. Dangerous? Yes. Skill issue? Maybe. What I took away from the experience is that it is frighteningly easy to get used to a thing “just working” and forget about its limitations when it is convenient. I also learned that I do not want lane keep assist or automatic cruise control in my personal car.

They turn into a soup-like homogenate. As is natural in the life cycle of a lab mouse.

And if they weren’t euthanized they would almost certainly die of horrible horrible cancerous tumors. Not because of anything the labs do, but because it’s a crime against nature for a mouse to live past maybe 2 years.

Which doctor?

Invade Puerto Rico. Got it.

Drops the what?

Obviously the solution is to invade Panama and make it a US territory

Not only is it real, its a thing he has done on multiple occasions. Here’s the grossest one:

bikes delivering scooters delivering skateboards delivering rollerblades delivering heelies

Eh, it’s a distinctive style. If you workshop it and you like the result, great. If you don’t, thats fine too. They’re funny and now that I know what to expect I can read the nose for what it is. I happen to like your comics quite a bit even if I have been wondering why your characters are so smug and/or content all the time. I thought it was part of the humor ;-)

For me I think part of the problem is my brain fails to notice the nose in panels that have mouths, and therefore I expect to see a mouth but not a nose in panels woth no mouths. Idk if that helps or even makes sense

oh fuck they’re NOSES. I feel so dumb lmao

I know it’s a distraction but I abhor the way the man speaks.

“I was informed this morning by the joint chiefs of staff that at so and so time in such and such operating theater we lost communication with blahblah asset. All US service members were recovered safely with no loss of life. We are committed to peace, but if this was, as we believe it to be, a violation of the ceasefire agreement, this provocation cannot go unanswered. I am urgently seeking communications with the leadership of the IRGC and am directing our forces in the region to move to a state of enhanced readiness.”

• serious
• sounds like something a Sorkin character would say
• leaves diplomatic buffer in case it turns out something other than an Iranian missile caused the loss of equipment

“Army told me IRAN shot down our very fancy helicopter in operating theater, amazing pilots safe but now im mad. I’m gonna bomb them back >:( >:( >:(”

• unserious
• less room for backtracking
• sounds fucking stupid

That’s the american dream right there.

What a cute crow

Ironically when it comes to the nature of God Muslims and Mormons couldn’t be farther apart. Like Christians, Mormons believe in the divinity of Christ, i.e. that he is the Son of God (or “Heavenly Father”), but they reject the Trinity, i.e. that God is one substance in three parts*. Mormons instead believe that God is three separate beings of one purpose and will. Muslims are more like Jews in that they don’t think he was the Son of God, but where Muslims think he was a prophet and the Messiah, Jews are… indifferent? Maybe they think he was some smart guy, or maybe he didn’t exist. Nice story, who cares basically. Muslims reject the Divinity of Christ because they reject the Trinity because the oneness of God is a core of their beliefs.

*the Trinity gets complicated when you start asking different denominations or even different congregations about it. it is a divine mystery, you’re not actually supposed to get it. i didn’t make that up, that is what a lot of christian doctrine actually teaches. but they still argue about it. religion is wild

**i’m also not a theologian so notes will be accepted

If one shingle breaks yeah you wouldn’t want to huff it, but realistically dilution would mean the tiny amount released is next to harmless. Asbestos is an extreme occupational hazard for people unlucky enough to have worked with it, but for most extant asbestos material the best practice is to leave in place.

Re: other shapes, they have to be tesselations of repeating regular polygons. I would refuse to call the one on the right a grid:

And this one is right out:

Edit: I have been informed that the Escher tesselation pictured is in fact a grid and am now in a foul mood.

“the back” is a distribution center a couple towns over, because modern retail is a tightly integrated and logistics heavy industry. How don’t you know this Carol? This has been the standard for like 40 years CAROL
