I hate you. This I know. Cuz the Bible told me so.

If it’s any consolation, I hate me, too. Gonna punish my liver today unmercifully.

Might I suggest rubbing alcohol?

Instead of isopropyl, methanol has a much lower LD50. Figured you’d want a more lethal option.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Seconded.

Happy Thanksgiving twatwaffle.

I’m not a birder. I do like knowing things. Thirst for knowledge and all that. And it pays off! My local bar has a trivia night (I think B-Dubs has brought theirs back, too). I absolutely kill at trivia. Kill.

OK

What are the northernmost, southernmost, easternmost and westernmost states in the US?

In case you were thinking Ukraine "is not our problem," you may be correct from a geographic standpoint - Putin isn't invading America's shores or launching ICBMs in our direction. What he is however, doing is weaponizing energy and that fact is going to affect Europeans big tiem and Americans to a lesser degree - if you ignore the human toll that fucktard is exacting. From the Economist:

Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, is using energy as a weapon. Our data journalists set themselves a difficult question: how many people is this weapon likely to kill outside Ukraine? The answer they came up with was alarming. Although heatwaves get more press, cold temperatures are usually deadlier than hot ones. To estimate the relationship between energy costs and deaths, we built a statistical model that predicts how many people die per winter week in each of 226 European regions. This model found that a 10% rise in electricity prices is associated with a 0.6% increase in deaths, concentrated among the elderly and infirm. If the historical relationships between mortality, weather and energy costs continue to apply—which they may not, given how high current prices are—the death toll from the energy weapon could exceed the number of soldiers who have died so far in direct combat from bullets, shells, missiles and drones. It is one more reason why Ukraine’s fight against Russia is Europe’s, too.

I actually think it’s Alaska, Hawaii, Alaska, and Alaska. It’s an old Trivia Crack question.

4 states are bordered by exactly two other states. Name them.

The Aleutians cross the IDL, huh? Couldn’t remember if they did or not.

And I heard somewhere that Minnesota has the northernmost point in the lower 48.

Just checked. Google says Washington

Half of them are southern, then. And I know Washington. The last one is eluding me. Probably some godforsaken Yankee state.
