Every Tesla owner should carry a window breaker in the car. Heck, everyone should carry a wondow breaker in every car.

It sounds nothing like what I heard in the picture.

Crap. They just took it from somewhere else and passed it off as their own. Jerk.

Edit: But then why is this even being debated?

My SO has a theory that if the group of people lived in a harsh environment, ie. having to work for what you had with no guarantee of food or safety, etc, it was common for women to work just as much as men. Such a society needed all hands on deck, so to speak. But, when we start becoming "civilized", and things started getting made for us, (as opposed to an individual making it themselves.) Women and men start having diverging roles. Essentially, there's just not enough work, so womens role turns into raising the babies, to fill the time. Eventually, for whatever reason, "civilized" society just forgot about the hard times and assumes women have always been there just to raise babies.

Disclaimer: This is based on absolutely nothing. Maybe some random information that explain that women did "men" jobs too, once. Idk.

I used to watch David the Gnome when I was young. When I went back and watched it as an adult it was the slowest moving thing I had seen in a while. I was amazed I had that kind of attention span as a kid.

Incineration? In ten years, we'll wonder why part of the moon is just missing.

I could see this being a good temporary backup plan, though.

There was a Curious George episode where George used a skyscrapers (under construction, of course) floor to ceiling wrap around windows to create a vegetable garden so the restaurant down the street had fresh produce.

It wasn't a bad idea, minus the water damage. Just make a 3 ft planter along all the windows, instead of a window ledge or something, and you would have a ton of food.

Supposedly, met the son of a higher up in Armani, in college. He told us about how their jeans cost something like $2.50 (in the early 2000s) to make in an exploited factory in Bangladesh, and how everyone who would buy their jeans for $100 (or more) a pop was an idiot. They were making out like bandits and paying their workers next to nothing.

Hey, I just went down one of these last week!

It was still on a half day preheat, so it wasn't that hot.

I was in college before I saw one. I grew up with giant 8" long centipedes, but this guy freaked me out more than I can say. Couldn't even tell it was a centipede. Might as well have been an alien.

Gag.

I suppose, yes. The library is turning drug infested and into a sex den. The comma is replacing all the words "and into a." Which is essentially what you wrote. I guess i was trying to point out they were two separate situations and that drug infested is not describing the sex den. I was also trying to establish that commas can replace words and phrases. Although the example I gave above only replaced one word, it would make sense they would replace other words, as well, to shorten the headline.

I guess there are actual headline specific grammatical rules that are followed. While not a comprehensive list, some of these rules include leaving out auxiliary and some joining verbs, articles, conjunctions, etc, and replacing some words with various punctuation. Apparently, the list goes on.
