Sick burn like food poisoning from jalapeņos?

I do not know why Fanboy would have a homosexual subtext, but it definitely indicates they are immature.

I just watched a video about sky cities above Venus making far more sense than colonizing Mars. It is closer, has better gravity (for humans), and a denser atmosphere.

Then another video about Dyson spheres being impossible, but a cloud of solar-powered stations orbiting a star making infinitely more sense.

Wait, I think we made a few too many left turns. I never watched "Total Recall." Weren't there two? There was a woman like that in "Dumb and Dumberer," but I watched it entirely because of the school bus.

I was overwhelmingly underwhelmed.

Hate the interior and exterior. And now the newer model 3 is a lot smaller than even the Nissan Versa.


Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

By the way, the plural is Prii.



I do not like it, but I have never complained about it, either.

Am I the only one that knows that the plural of leaf is leaves? Focus becomes foci, but whatever.



I am going to need for you to show the picture of one comparable car available in the 1980s for $6,500. Where do you get $75 for a 15" touchscreen monitor? The cheapest one on Amazon is $175: https://www.amazon.com/1366x768-10-P...n%3A2633094011

The 2018 3 is 185″ L x 73″ W x 57″ H. The 2018 Versa is 175″ L x 67″ W x 60″ H.

Ten inches longer, six inches wider, but it must have less interior room because it is three inches shorter.

ProDigit, you Ma'am are a criticgirl.
