…ye gads, just imagine the heat island generated by 750 square miles of black glass: that’s a weather-creating convective air mass…

…that looks pretty modestly-sized in the foreground, honestly…

(this is a huge red flag:)

…only three hundred grand for a house which violates the f*ck out of international building code, fire code, and life safety code; nice!..

…what are the odds of even more egregious DIY violations of electricial, mechanical, and plumbing code which we can’t see in casual realtor photos?..

…if your tea uses folded-paper bags stapled or tied-off with cotton string, you’re safe…

…canadians may be low-key, but they don’t f*ck around…

…last i heard, canadian snipers outperform the finns…

…i give the phantom menace a weekend-matinée pass for the creative sincerity behind it, then andor, rogue one, and the original trilogy: done…

…i suspect they realised that the bare roasting pan wasn’t going to work, transferred it to a foil sheet, everything fell apart, and then hastily re-assembled the broken bits into what was cooked for the final result…
