I get the feeling that if this were on a globe, it would appear as a long, thin, and nearly empty circle.

Way to stand up for my alien homies, yo!

Then… wouldn’t it be false?

We have seen the future, and the future is weird.

Then you get a half-adder.

Residential hangers just look like big garages.

I wonder if the low-flow restrictions apply to the right toilet.
