Full list of disco songs winning The Grammy Award For Best Disco Recording:

1980 - I will survive.

The award only existed that year.

Why’d I want my guests to be excited about a good meal? We are having microwaved peas as usual.

They won’t whine. They’re going to flip around and claim they never supported him.

Both Europe and US are big enough to have a huge variety in building codes for different climates in different states/countries.

Your dogs says: Bow wow wow yippie yay yippie yo.

True depiction:

I’ve read that the most fires at gas stations (related to refueling) happen when somebody enters the car while fueling. I don’t know if it’s true, but it has a point.

The potential static electricity from getting into the seat and the dilution of the gas in the air at that position is a more ignitable combination than holding a lit cigarette right at the nozzle. The draft from opening the door will make different dilutions, so it’s pretty sure that it is ignitable at some point around that position.

The risk of explosion is quite low at the pump. It’s actually worse if they step away to smoke, because depending on wind there will be a position somewhere in the vicinity of the pump where the gas is easier to ignite. Firing up a lighter there could be bad.

Anyway. There’s plenty of other good reasons not to smoke at a gas station.

Sadly it’s a remake. The original url was bought by some porn/click farm.

But yes, even the original script wouldn’t work on modern browsers. If anyone wants to do something like this today, they should buy a mobile ad. There’s seemingly no limits to how many pop-ups and redirects they’re allowed to make.

For anyone too young to remember, the “you are an idiot 😀😀😀” reference, it was a prank virus from 2002.

Technically it wasn’t even a virus even if it was usually described as such. It was just a link to a website that would show the text, play the song, and then spawn more windows when you attempted to close one. Restarting the PC was the only way to stop it. It was very funny in cubicle offices.

It’s not a reference to any particular drive. It’s just that Germans drove tanks into Poland at the start of WW2. The dual meaning of the word “tank” is the pun.

The joke is that Reddit is the only one “buying” Reddit gold. They use it to herd the hivemind.

… and this is different from Reddit gold how?

“Getting” unpaid leave is a misnomer. The employee isn’t getting anything and they employer isn’t giving anything.

It’s a right. It is the right to leave without the risk of the employment agreement being terminated over that specific leave.

The employer ought to be grateful if an employee wants to return after being required elsewhere for personal reasons for 12 weeks.

“Wash at or bellow 50°”

OK. I choose to bellow 50°

You’re a slacker if it’s not 100% LinkedIn.

Dead people don’t care either, so neither would you if you chose to enter a teleporter. The real question is where they put all the remains of the old versions.

I don’t think the Star Trek transporter works like that though. They do pass the material through worn holey warp space or something. There are episodes about them getting stuck there and such.

No, you (the new you) wouldn’t even know the difference.

It’d be like when you fall asleep on the couch and sleep for two minutes, but the dream seems like it lasted several days, because you dreamt of having memories of things. The brain simply doesn’t know the difference between memories of a long dream or a short dream of long memories.

I wouldn’t think too much into it. I guess that most users here just don’t have older kids yet, so they might lack the perspective of being the ones to give advice that kids don’t listen to.

My own kids aren’t that old yet and will still listen, but I really hope that one day they will stop listening, because then I know I’ve taught them to be independent.

The images are from Houston.

The parking lot picture is from the 1970s, so probably not exactly fair to compare to a modern city. I don’t know (care about) how it looks now.
