Reply to comment by Somestaffass in TIL Frankenstein did not have a hunchback assistant called Igor in either Mary Shelley's novel or the original Universal and Hammer films. The character is a pastiche of multiple characters across several movies. by BringsHomeBones
Frankenstein is the maker. The creature is never named. Unless you count Abby Normal.

I have this, it’s great. Until you have a friend drop you off and you get out and he drives on. When he stops and shuts the car off he realizes you still have the key and are 2miles away.

Reply to comment by ADiestlTrain in TiL it was Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" that popularized the expression "Merry Christmas". by thewickerstan
Unfortunately Hollywood doesn’t currently have the talent or foresight for that.
They will be able to do a sleepy hollow reboot though. It will suck. Or a sequel, which will also suck.

I’m from Florida. Totally understand. A walking cocktail is necessary. Also aware of DAMM. There are parts of the US that an open container is allowed as long as it’s not in the drivers hand.

Yes, that’s a little different. During Covid you could order any drink (and maybe still can, I think they never changed that) to go and it was fine as long as it had a lid and like a piece of tape over the lid.

The No name thing doesn’t make it ambiguous, since there is no name it’s perfectly legal. Since the owner of the home opened it (the landlord) they were the implied recipient.

As they should be.
In no state is it illegal to have liquor in your car, so there’s no reason not to have convenience.

Honestly, if you go to New Orleans you should just plan on getting a disease at some point. That city (specially Bourbon Street) is like living in a landfill. In fact, I’d trust a landfill more.

It’s amazing how confidently wrong you are. The level of blissfully unaware is quite alarming really.

Pay is not tied to position. You couldn’t be more wrong.

Nobody does the same job, and pay isn’t tied to a position, it’s tied to the companies need.

Here’s the real problem with sharing salary info. Employees act like toddlers most of the time. It causes unnecessary drama and bitterness. If one person thinks they do more work, but are paid less, they will usually start doing less, or not caring. The only way to remedy that is to fire and start over, another pain.

It has nothing to do with inequality.

Reply to comment by al666in in TIL that in the UK, it is a crime to make new copies of the King James Bible. Although the text is technically in the public domain, the Crown claims Royal prerogative over the right to print, publish and distribute it. by al666in
I believe it’s Greek, at least Tartarus is. Of all things, I heard it on the Casual Criminalist podcast/YouTube today in the Axe Man Murder episode.

No wake doesn’t apply in an emergency. Don’t have to gun it, just go at a slow speed, even if a wake is created.
I’ve realized my plug was out 5mi offshore in 400’ of water.
Just turned around, dropped someone off at the dock while I idled around, drove up on the trailer, put it in, and continued on my way.

Next time just start driving forward. All the water will drain out the hole and you can easily put the plug in. Sometimes I’ll take the plug out to drain water that’s come into the boat because it’s faster than waiting for the bilge.
