Reply to comment by Intelligent-Prune-33 in Britain ‘haven for fraudsters’ as 1% of cases result in charges, say MPs by Goal1
So the Wikipedia article is a little confusing, but apparently the Roman calendar actually began with the spring equinox in March, so the Ides of March would fall on the 15th by either counting method.
The Julian calendar added two months, but that's where I'm getting confused with the extent of its other reforms, and whether it began with January or March.
However, the central point you are making still stands: "Ides" simply means "the middle," so it would either be the 15th or the 13th of a given month, so "Double Middle" would make no sense in any timekeeping context.

Former US President Trump got indicted and will stand trial. He may see this article and decide he wants to immediately take a little vacation this week. And then start making excuses about the plane is broken down by next week.

Uh-oh.
Writing an article like that on today of all days could have unintended consequences...

I found my way to this sub from r/cyberpunk for exactly this reason, because posts like this are some of my favorites.
Search for "pixel" in that sub, and sort by top all time. You're welcome.
Edit: Didn't even realize i was in r/gifs ! I thought I was commenting in r/PixelArt . Check that one out too!

Well, just think about how explosive even just a tiny bit of gunpowder is. Then think about all that space inside one of those plastic USB casings, and you've got a lot of room for a lot of gunpowder, and all you'd need for a trigger is just some way to run a current to it; two wires, basically.

Well, that would explain the aerial chase footage. But what about the amature video? Was it just people that got their first cameras and were looking for any excuse to test it out?

Why was the Hindenburg coming to New Jersey such a special event?
I'm not talking about the accident. I'm wondering why there were four people filming and at least one radio jockey covering the event in live time? Surely everyone had seen lighter than air craft by then, right?

Reply to comment by Slowpoke135 in FCC orders phone companies to block scam text messages by QuantumFork
So, I used to get a whole bunch. I have certain tricks.
For one, and I don't know if maybe I filled out some form with fake information on the Internet or what, but the scammers all have the name Newell Johnson attached to my (20 year old) phone number. So whenever they would ask for Mr Johnson, I was on their game right away.
When I found out about the bot Lenny (r/itslenny if you don't know), I would always ask them to hold and then for those to him.
The number of calls seemed to triple in a month.
Well then when I got tired of it, I started saying he had passed away.
The number of calls went down to nearly zero overnight after just one or two cases.
So, that tells me they are all using the same active server or some sort of centralized list they are sharing.
Nowadays, I always answer with a business greeting. Whenever a live person comes on the line, I always act like I'm taking notes. They ask me a screening question, and I just say okay. Then they forward me to the valuable people whose time they don't like to waste, and I say "well hi, Mr X. Pleased to speak with you, my name is u/MississippiJoel of company Y. How are you doing today?"
"Is this a business? Click."

He is total scum. Her therapist told her not to have any more children. He convinced her otherwise, saying God would protect their children, and they needed to have more children. Then she killed all her children. Then he divorces her in prison.

Looks like it fires a bullet out the left side if the operator slams it onto the target. So first you get the effect of a sledgehammer blow with an immediate gunshot wound.
