Why is the car company the catalyst? I’m seriously asking, not trolling. Is the boring company and space x also?

According to Google:

When our policy says that we display the "primary, common, local" names for a body of water, each of those three adjectives has an important and distinct meaning. By saying "primary", we aim to include names of dominant use, rather than having to add every conceivable local nickname or variation. By saying "common", we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage. Finally, by saying "local", we aim to reflect the primary and common names used by countries that actually border the body of water, as they are the countries recognized under international law as having a special sovereign stake in it.

Gene wilder is amazing, but that original movie was just fine. The newer one feels more like the book

Whales spouting water. Not blowing a little bit like they do when they surface. Blowing copious amounts of water out of their blowhole like squirtel

Sonic works well without the drive through needed.

I imagined this in a motel and the car lights in the parking lot are rolling by. I hate it

Honestly, I think this is it. My vape pen gets me faded no matter what. If I hold my breath I’m just a little light headed, too

As someone randomly seeing this, and assuming others may, too. Today I learned.

According to Wikipedia:

In motorsports, homologation is the type approval process through which a vehicle, a race track, or a standardised part is required to go for certification to race in a given league or series. The process of testing and certification for conformance to technical standards is usually known as type approval in English-language jurisdictions. The regulations and rules that must be met are generally set by the series's sanctioning body.[1] The word is derived from Greek ὁμολογέω, homologeo, 'I agree'.
