One of the internet dating sites tracked racial data of people that pursued what races, etc.
The lowest ratio by far was Asian men and Black women. They were like .001% of all couplings.
Of course now you see those pairings all of the time in commercials.

My family goes through paper towels at a crazy clip. I've tried to implement a dish rag system but I seem to be the only one who uses them. It's like everyone else gets some type of joy from putting a fat new roll on the paper towel holder.

I can’t imagine how bad the Popeyes are in Atlanta
The one I went to in Atlanta was so bad you could have made a documentary film about how bad it was. I'm not kidding, an actual documentary film that would have become a sensation like Tiger King.
And the crazy part was they had a giant 3 foot tall trophy on the counter that had a plaque that said something like "World's Greatest Popeyes Location - 1997" or something. When I first saw that thing, I just assumed they won some crappy softball tournament or something but the fact that they actually had the nerve to get this giant fake arse trophy made and put it on the counter when they were bar none the WORST business establishment I have ever set foot in is on another level of inssulting. It would be like Susan Smith or Anrea Yates walking around wearing a T-shirt that said, "World's Greatest Mom".
I've done this trick a few times on long haul flights. Wait until you get a half empty plane and then have the gate agent assign you an empty row. Got a solid 8 hours of sleep in the middle row of a 787 on a flight to New Zealand once. I brought an inflatable sleeping pad and inflatable pillow. People looked at me funny but screw 'em. I hate long flights.
Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics in 1984 and ten years later that place looked like something from a rated-R video game.

If the insurance company decides it's totaled then you might look into keeping it with a salvage title. I've never done that but some people chose to keep reliable models (ie, a 2020 Honda that was well-maintained by one owner). You can research salvage titles.
re: Forbes Editorial: America Produces The Most Oil. So Why Are Gas Prices Surging?
Posted by AUFANATL on 3/24/26 at 8:04 am to ragincajun03

Gas stations aren’t pricing what’s already in their tanks; they’re pricing what it will cost to replace it. Retail fuel is a low-margin business, and station owners have to think about their next delivery, not their last one. If wholesale prices surge and they keep selling at yesterday’s levels, they risk not having enough cash to refill their tanks.
I would be more sympathetic to this argument if the inverse worked the same way. But when market prices plummet it takes them a long damn time to change the prices on their pumps. When the prices jump, we see it the next day. They want to have their cake and eat it to.

There is no "treasury". The US gov spends every red cent long before they accrue it. And when I say "accrue" that includes a significant chunk that they borrow and print.
It's basically the world's largest Payday Loan operation. It's a fiscal disgrace.

Perrine had a handful of high profile romances, including a relationship with hairstylist Jay Sebring, who was murdered in 1969 along with Sharon Tate by the Manson family at a dinner party Perrine was supposed to attend.
Pretty crazy she dodged that bullet almost 60 years ago.
It's got to be weird escaping a tragedy like that. I know there was a thread about Aguirre, the Wrath of God recently. While making that movie, Werner Herzog was supposed to be on a flight that exploded over the Amazon rain forrest. He missed the flight and said he was always haunted by that event. Later he made a documentary about it featuring a girl who miraculously survived the free fall back to earth when her seat got lodged in the jungle canopy and then somehow found her way back to civilization.
re: Tide was 3-1 vs Sweet 16 teams on neutral floors & true road games this year.
Posted by AUFANATL on 3/23/26 at 3:48 pm to Night Vision
Auburn played 10 games against those teams - plus Florida on the road and Vandy, who are arguably the best two teams not in the sweet 16.
That's just a brutal schedule.

re: Why is their such a stigma against chalk picks?
Posted by AUFANATL on 3/23/26 at 11:26 am to StansberryRules
It depends on how they calculate scoring.
I've won my office pool three of the last five or six years with a simple strategy - go mostly chalk but try predict the best "darkhorse" team that everyone is overlooking to win it all (I hit on UVA, UCONN and Florida).
Most people latch onto the heavy favorites so when one of them wins it comes down to who picked the right upsets or the right Cinderellas, which is going to be random.
But again, it depends on scoring. Some methods reward upsets more than just advancements.
Remember that NCAA moment where the Syracuse player chanted "the 'Cuse is in the house.. oh my God, oh my God!"
That happened after they beat Georgia in 1996.
That seems like FOREVER ago and UGA hasn't won an NCAA game since.
And remember the famous all black Texas Wesleyan team that took down Adolf Rupp's lilly white Kentucky machine led by Pat Riley? That moment was closer to UGA's last win on the basketball timeline then we are right now. Think about that - UGA basketball's last win was closer to the shocking realization that black people were good at basketball than us sitting here on the internet making fun of them.

This is the core problem. They have known this train was heading straight for a cliff for DECADES and there were plenty of rational compromise fixes available BUT this is a third rail political issue and no politician or candidate wants to go anywhere near it for fear that the blue hairs will revolt against them and they will be removed from the echelons of power. So they just ramp up the graft, kick the can down the road and sleep better knowing the fallout won't rain down on them and their kids.
