They were referencing this practice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Native_American_women It doesn't really make any sense though because not only is Beth white, she's also not old enough to have been getting an abortion when this practice was happening in the 60's and 70's. I...

This is how a lot of ranchers handle their finances as well. "It's almost the end of the year and there's still money in the bank? Better buy something so I don't have to pay taxes!"

That would be funny if McDaniel came back to the 49ers just like Saleh did.

Why do we need this post? I heard an interview with del Toro about this and he said it's based on the book directly and not any of the other adaptations since. I want to watch it but my big screen TV is taken apart for a remodel that I'm theoretically going to finish some day and I want to...

That would be an awesome shop stool. Probably designed for Japanese people and has a 150 lb weight limit though.

Reminds me of the most recent black mirror season episode where the woman gets a brain implant and then starts just randomly pausing to do an ad.

That thing looks utterly useless.

When my grandfather was in hospice and pretty much unconscious at one point he blurted out "What in the fuck am I gonna do about this?". Probably more interesting than most people's last words but we never found out what he was worried about.

Did anyone see Halley's comet in 1986? I was 9 years old and I remember my dad going out early in the morning to try to see it through his rifle scope but I don't think he ever did. You couldn't get as much good advice about when and where to look as you can now. I'll be 84 next time it comes...

I had a neighbor that did dialysis for a long time. On top of everything else he was driving 200 miles each way to get to the clinic twice a week. He came to a point where he just said "I'm not doing this anymore" and he was gone a few weeks later. It must be crazy knowing that you are going...

Yeah, even if you think knob and tube was an awesome idea, if you see it that means your wiring is 50+ years old and that alone is probably a pretty good reason to replace it.

BMI is useful as a statistic on a large group of people. It's not that useful for an individual because there's too many things it doesn't take into consideration. There are many much better ways to tell if you're in shape or not than the ratio of your height to your weight.
