You: "The one closest to me."
Google: "Do you also want the location of Dominos?"

Google: "Which one?"
You: "The one in Boise on Potato Avenue."

Ask Google.

What the hell is a "phone book?"

edit: I seriously doubt a phone book is quicker than "Hey Google, call Trader Joe's in Boise."

Doubtful. There's only one is Spokane which is close to the same population. And there are no "geodicks" in the Palouse either.

There's only one Trader Joe's in Idaho (Boise).

None in Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Hawaii, and Alaska.

"Exceeding Abortion visits"
"Fiscal year"

For a place that's supposed to be about women's health, they sure seem happy about the number of abortions they give. Bet they aren't as happy about the very few adoption referrals they do.

It is all about abortions, this why their funding should be cut.

If Google really knew Flaggy and you asked that question, this should of showed up.

But he's an Itai, and his wife is japanese. He's already got two legs of the axis. Wanna bet his boyfriend is Naaaatzi?

So squid pizza is a thing at their house you are saying?

Squid Pizza was the nickname we gave to this butchy girl I knew in high school

Then Tool came out with Stinkfist and we knew we had been upstaged

Thomas Friedman has an article in the NYT today, titled something like the American Civil War Part II or something like that. It was a pretty good one but where I found my spirit animal was in the comments section (as usual):

"It is not tribalism that is splitting the country. It is ignorance and mistrust, poured over a foundation of materialism, greed and exceptionalism. There has been a long period of dumbing-down, as life speeds up with technology taking center stage, schools crumbling and failing, and hard-learned lessons of history, civility and international understanding being forgotten. To write this off as "tribalism" minimizes and deflects. A significant part of the country is settling for a very low standard of thought and behavior, and that's not a tribal characteristic."

Man this commenter has the gift of synthesis I wish I had

I’m disappointed in you, CID. Friedman is a small half-step above Paul Krugman in the NYT Great Thinkers Club. Did you ever read The World Is Flat? About the shallowest Hal there is.

That comment is spot on.

The article is biased garbage that talks about tribalism and reconciliation while blaming only one political party.
