When can we expect the world to end because of all the severe solar storms happening right now?
I saw some photos of the lights being caused by the storm. It's kind of hard to believe something so pretty could lead to the world's destruction.

^Nah, we're not going out in a pretty, quick firework display.

It's going to be long, slow and brutal for us.

Why do fat welfare mothers always beat their children for things that they can't help?

They don’t all always do that.

People on welfare might be more likely to use corporal punishment on account of having lower levels of education, more stress, and, perhaps, higher levels of religiosity, but that’s not everyone. I’ve been on welfare and am overweight, but I never beat my kid.

Who would you need to alert if a sinkhole had collapsed?
Is there any procedure if no being has fallen in?

is there anybody else here who likes the idea of digital signal processing applied to music recordings? for example, taking a monophonic recording and extracting piecemeal all the individual instruments and remixing each instrument into its own directional location [henceforth referred to as Digitally Extracted Stereo or DES] in a new stereophonic recording? or taking a scratchy old 78 rpm recording and removing all the surface noise and then applying the DES treatment to it?

alternately, is there anybody else here who loves the sound and spectacle of wurlitzer theatrical pipe organs, the ones with all the percussions and sound effects like you can hear at Pizza and Pipes locations?

who else here likes Citroen automobiles?

I liked them a lot about 15 years ago, then they fired Sébastien Loeb and I stopped caring.

what did he do for Citroen?

Won them 8 WRC Manufacturer's championships, won himself 9 driver's championships in a row. He raced for the Citroën World Touring Car Championship team as well for a year as well.

then i wonder why citroen sacked him?

I believe it's largely because they switched to circuit racing from rallying.

Then again, he also started doing a lot more circuit racing after 2013.
