When we were kids and thunderstorms rolled in, my mom would shake her head and say "The angels are bowling" and my father would just scream "FUNDER BUMPERS!" like an idiot.
Guess which one I do now.
@weatherbob@ReedTimmerAccu I'm sure the Finger Lake Effect was cute and all, but growing up outside Buffalo gave me some real -Great- Lake Effect!
(Kidding! But seriously, I'm just old enough to remember the Blizzard of '77. 100" of snow in three days in my hometown of Tonawanda, NY!)
@GailSimone The recipes will change regionally for the same product. Sometimes it's simple, like "more onions", but there's also changes in meats and breads.
Here's a pure nutritional-level comparison of "Big Macs" from around the world:

@GailSimone Yup. Menus vary pretty widely from place to place.
Here's the menu in Hyderabad, India (or at least it was the menu in December, 2016). Many spicy options, kebabs and wraps, and lots of vegetarian choices. Separate kitchens for meat and veg as well.
@PaulHChadwick The failures won't be technological. Each one will stand memorial to a good engineer reaching their breaking point, burning out, and missing something. Each one a self-inflicted wound.
I've got 25 years for a Fortune 50 financial company. I've watched it happen repeatedly.
@DanaMcIntyre1 @QuoteDigging@JohnFetterman Yes. Better somebody with a speech impediment and a solid understanding of my values than a greasy cockgoblin proven to be out out for his own gain over integrity or truth.
@DanaMcIntyre1 @gravitron4040 @QuoteDigging@JohnFetterman I hope you'll not mind of I decide to accept the current science on the matter rather than the politically biased opinion of some chucklefuck on Twitter?
@gravitron4040 @DanaMcIntyre1 @QuoteDigging@JohnFetterman Thank you for the link to the UCLA study about using gel to regrow damaged areas of the brain.
Yes, I do agree it's a shame that the main response doesn't reflect the current science. But as I'm sure you read the study I provided, we know that the brain is much more resilient.
@scottEmovienerd Little known "Below" does this very well. As news is passed from compartment to compartment on a WWII submarine we get, in about three minutes, introductions to the main characters and a primer on the layout of the boat.
Truly elegant exposition!

@MaggieMaeFish Many of the suggestions toward horror: explicit rape followed by torture revenge porn. Not casting judgement, but it does seem like a specifically male POV.
One the best (and earliest) in the genre is _funny_ rather than shocking.

@GailSimone Yes, but by the time they get all the horses and dogs ready and find their little hats you'll be safe and snug having crossed the hotel pool to throw them off the scent.
