    I nominate skeeters
    unfortunately, skeeters, flies, and cockroaches are doing fine.

    Also, unfortunately,  they actually fill a purpose in the greater scheme of things.  Now ticks are another story.  Nobody and nothing would miss them.

    Rather than paying a standard 21% corporate income tax rate in 2018, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is actually claiming a tax rebate of $129M, which works out to a rate of negative 1%. That's according to the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy. Aside from "tax credits," which the company does not have to spell out in its public filings, Amazon is also claiming a tax break for executive stock options.

    Put down that toast. Have your bacon, fried potatoes and fried eggs without toast......

    Toasters may expose people to more air pollution than a busy intersection, study claims

    ....move out of the house, sleep on the porch. Never clean and buy a grill to do all of your food prep, as long as you stay up wind.

    the hyperbole from these guys just keeps going on and on, cigar after amazing cigar:
    "We couldn't make very many Chocolate B-day Cake cigars! The tobaccos were just too limited and rare! "
    "The result is nothing less than phenomenal!" 
    "Chocolate B-day Cake is a uber-unique"



    There are 2 sites (I have bought from) that sell the most awesome cigars on the planet. The flavor profiles are just out of this world and can't be matched. It is a shame that the cigars never live up to the "hyperbole", or even come close. It does not matter how long they age, or at what temp or humidity level, they never come close.

    If I want whipped cream, I will make a damn banana split with whipped cream. If I want chocolate, I will break out the candy bar. If I want a really good cigar, I won't believe everything I read and just stick with what works (unless it's on sale...and wrapped up like a tampon, because everybody knows tampons taste great) - The fake scarcity routine is getting old.

    Reminds me of this.  I'd rather not have a battery that can explode or catch fire spontaneously due to thermal runaway in my ear.

    Oregon considers lowering voting age to 16-years-old

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/oregon-considers-lowering-voting-age-to-16-years-old/

    This screwed up state has seriously lost its mind. 
    They want to let teenagers vote, who can barely drive and do everything based on emotions and hormones.
    In Oregon, most can't even get through high school. 
    These politicians are insane.

    I've been trying to make this point to all and sundry for decades.  It can't be overstated.

    Listening to the news on the radio this morning I heard a sound-byte, repeatedly, of R Kelly's lawyer saying "He's a rock star.  He doesn't need to have non-consensual se x."

    All I could think was:  Dude, nobody "needs" to have non-consensual s ex.  It's a power game, not a biological need.

    Our legislators are currently looking at laws against this. I don't believe anything is finalized but there are people that realize how stupid this is.

    Animal crackers attacked by PETA.
    No s h i t. This is real.

    "This summer, in response to a campaign by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), Nabisco redesigned the packaging to show animals side by side in a grassland rather than in cages."
