Dude... all I can say is that if two massive trees fall down right outside your house in the middle of a bunch of high wind and lightning and thunder and hail and torrential rain and are anything less than terrified, you are a hell of a lot braver than I am.

It is basically impossible at this point to know. Elon loves giving people who give him shit blue check marks because he thinks it's an insult to them.

Category 1 hurricane speed is 74-95 mph according to my search.

I just lived through a relatively short, non-hurricane thunderstorm with winds measured a little above 80 mph.

Here's where I wrote about what it did at my home alone.

Believe me, it was terrifying.

I know. I read the article. I was just making fun of the headline, which implies that there's a non-terrifying kind of hurricane.

As opposed to the ones which are merely extremely scary?

Fuck it, I'm opening this baby up.

I know this was supposed to be TNG era, but it's the best I can do.

This tree face was on the other side of the yard.

We just lost two trees in the backyard because of a huge storm, so this feels like a good way to let our trees in the front yard know we still care.

Sorry, my teenage daughter has already claimed the wombat walker job, but you guys can have any of the others.

This is one of my all-time favorite plays and this is a terrific production of it too.

It's a very weird, but very entertaining play that is a satire on American culture and religion, but about a family that lives through various ages of human history as if they were contemporary or near-contemporary.

While the Antrobus family remains constant throughout the play, the three acts do not form a continuous narrative. The first act takes place during an impending ice age; in the second act the family circumstances have changed as George becomes president of the Fraternal Order of Mammals (apparent references to Sodom and Gomorrah but also to the Roaring Twenties), while the end of the world approaches a second time; the third act opens with Maggie and Gladys emerging from a bunker at the end of a seven-year-long war.

I'm almost certain that The Flintstones was inspired by Act I of this play, but I don't want to suggest that it's in any way like The Flintstones other than both being "modern stone-age families."

They are correct though. There is no evidence that chimps walked out of Africa. For two reasons:

  1. They can't walk for that length of time because we're the ones who walk everywhere, they hang out in trees.

  2. No one ever said they did.

I'm wondering if this person has ever even seen a chimp, to be honest.
