Thursday miscellanea #216

I’ve been on Christmas vacation for about an hour as I type. Delighted to be here, and looking forward to the restorative.
Of course, the world ending tomorrow would be decidedly unhelpful.
All I want for Tim Tebow is for him to have an actual shot. Somebody pick him up after this season and commit to starting him, please. He’s not yet been in a situation in the NFL that provides a true measure. You can’t give a guy no clear path and then be appalled when he doesn’t succeed. How about Jacksonville?
A friend at work told me a story this week about a jerk tailgating her severely on the way in one morning. Guess what? It was this guy.
I saw more Facebook noise about privacy policy changes this week. I don’t even pay attention anymore. I need to get over that. I think that’s what they count on.
I think The Weather Channel deciding it’s going to name winter storms is kind of silly. One of the original points of naming hurricanes was that if there were multiple ones, you knew which one someone was talking about when discussing potential tracks and so forth. Well, periodic winter storms are essentially the default condition, and considerably more predictable than hurricanes. It doesn’t make any more sense than naming lines of thunderstorms. (Hope I didn’t just give them that idea.)
OK, so what do you think is grosser to eat: lab-cultured meat or mealworms?
