Lol, you couldn't make it up.
Actually you could . . . . . if you were a Sitcom writer.

Once again, the Universe reminds us that people have the right to be stupid, just so long as it doesn't effect anyone else, and that we have the right to laugh at them...

But, that ship, unpowered, does represent a navigation hazard. If they can't get it powered or anchored, they'll have to be towed.

If there is true justice, however elusive in the universe, their toilets will back up and they'll all get dysentery before they reach port, safely.

Level A journalism. Did you know world cup winning footballplayer Lukas Podolski is now a gangster smuggeling refugees. Podolski seemed rather suprised to hear that.

Edit: German sources say that Podolski plans to sue them now.

The following is what happens on Monday mornings on highways in Canada, when two drivers come into conflict with each other. Fortunately, a police officer was there to break up the fight. Warning it's rather graphic and has some language:

Wow, that was intense! Can anyone with a Canada IP verify that this vid has been banned in Canada?

Ooooh... Price war?

What's their monetization plan, then? Licensing fees if they get market share? Subscription models of some sort? Economy of scale profits... they hope?

I don't necessarily think this is the best way to compete. Price is a factor, but content access truly shapes the market.

I do love Canada.

By way of contrast.
I go to America about once a year for a week or two on business.
On two of these occasions I have gotten stuck in a ridiculous traffic jam the cause of which turned out to be . . . .[drumroll]. . . . a road rage incident escalating into a firearm homicide and thus turning a whole section of freeway into a crime scene.
Maybe I've just been unlucky . . . . .

Unlucky! I should say so! Those confrontations were the joy of my daily commute! You deserved more than just two!

If you were a US citizen, you could write your Congressperson and complain. They'd send you a complimentary firearm (18+ only), a beer (Gov't beer is the worst, though) and a box of condoms... (Unrelated, don't know why, since they appear to go together in some States fairly naturally)

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable response

Till today I always thought somebody saying: "The old people are sucking the life out of the young", was a metaphor.

Apparently I was wrong.

Ambrosia: the startup harvesting the blood of the young (to sell it as an anti-aging product). The best part? If you donate blood right now in that area there is a chance it is getting sold without you knowing. You go to donate blood because you think it will help patients in desperate need for it, but nope it is sold as an hyper expansive anti-aging serum to the rich.

At full price with none of the DLC included. The DLC may be released later (and then again, it may not).

Chuck norris is.......

NOT DEAD, after recovering from two consecutive hearth attacks in less than an hour.

Seems like he is stronger than Death!!!

O my God ... not a "Hearth Attack" ... yes he was savaged by a rug and a magazine rack,,, Quoted later, Chuck said that "he was lucky, the rug was not of the best quality and would not have reflected well on my stinginess come the inquest"......

Not sure if this is funny, or just plain bloody silly, got this story on fox news in the UK,

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4327162/s ... r-eclipse/

Basically, some people who didn't get special lenses to watch the solar eclipse in the USA, resorted to using sunscreen in their eyes!!!

Now those people are having eye problems.

That is just so silly of some people. Anyway, thought I would share.
