Okay, Michael Scott.
Assie and Potato are both great contenders.
Regina George, is that you?
Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...
Let's keep it moving, people. God hasn't got all day.
This has a bit of an ominous undertone.
A little bleak for a Valentine, but I'll take it!
Can't argue with that.
These coworkers are keepers.
Nothing wrong with a little compliment to start your trip!
...Okay, I guess that makes sense. :/
I used to do this to people, and I can confirm that it also brought me a laugh.
I'm glad this person specified.
I think I'm okay with Wendy's real fresh beaver, but thanks.
I understood that reference!!!!
Good one, Eggies.
Grandpa really phoned it in here.
I wasn't planning on it, but I'll still try to be extra mindful.
Vandalism and defacing property are fine if it adds humorous value.
...Okay, thanks for that, Google Maps.
Once again, thanks, Google.
If I were a thief, this would convince me!
Hey, I'm still glad you made it home safely!
From now on, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is what I will be writing when I don't know the answer to something.
I don't think the teacher intended for their "pushing" to feel like this.
"Sorry for the thing, first of all," is going to enter my vernacular now.
Considering I still wake up with night sweats thinking of this terrible sound from my fourth-grade music class, I'd take one.
How wholesome!
SOYLENT GREEN!!!
Phew. I'm sure glad I didn't bring my nuclear missiles here.
SECURITY!!! GET HIM!!!!
I hate that I laughed at this. I'm turning into such a Dad.
Relatable.
This is also my face when people tell me to smile.
Good to know!
I see what you did there.
And there.
Hey, how'd they know about my drawer???
He's not wrong.
I think Mike misunderstood the assignment...or he understood it way better than the prior two writers did, depending on how you look at it.
Might as well call them "poors" at this point.
This is a nice sentiment, I guess?
I guess we'll go ahead and trespass, then!
I see what you did there, Wal-Mart.
This is a solid use of money.
As was this.
I might have to do this with my ex's number.
I feel like they should've spent a *little* more time thinking about the design of this anti-drunk driving pencil, but maybe that's just me.
Hm. I didn't realize Dr. Pepper was a form of payment.
See #22.
Oh...uh, that's okay, I'm not that hungry.
Now the crack looks intentional!
Way to call Andy out.
Leave them alone! They're preparing for Jurassic World Rebirth!
Well, that's unlucky.
Damn, imagine being burned by Google Photos.
Super important to blur those wheels!
I didn't think my pancreas hated me until now!!!
Bags have feelings, too!
I'm glad we cleared that up.
Oh...I guess I don't want a popsicle after all.
Or this corn.
That's certainly one solution to macbooks removing their HDMI port...
The perfect size for the giant up the beanstalk!
...OK?
That's one way to advertise!
Wow, it's amazing what nine years of study can do.
And finally...good one, Netflix.

XX Things On The Brink Of Collapse No One Talks About
Between the existential chaos around the world and whatever we're all dealing with in our personal lives, it feels like we're collectively acting like everything is fine these days, but that's not really the case. Political turmoil is wreaking havoc across the globe, climate change is getting realer by the second, and the global economy is shifting, for better or for worse. Needless to say, we're in very trying times, and it feels like burnout is now a universal feeling. A recent post on the r/AskReddit sub asked users the following question: "What is currently on the brink of collapse but no one is talking about it?" From collapsing ecosystems to the rise of AI, these 19 responses highlight just how close our dystopian future might be: Note: these responses have been edited and condensed for clarity. "The orca pod known as J-pod, that are residents of the Pudget Sound, are starving as the salmon population is collapsing." "And to be specific, Chinook salmon. Chinook are their main food source because of the fat content, and they're on the brink of collapse. I mean, it's not looking good for all salmon species, but when/if the Chinook go extinct, that's the first big domino to fall in the Salish Sea ecosystem." "Here in the UK, the water table. Already seen a massive drought in the North with unprecedented lack of rainfall this year. Reservoirs and rivers are lower than they've been in decades. On top of leaking pipes that date back to WWII, we could honestly be talking about real drinking water shortages in 5-10 years." "Honestly, I'd say the internet. Everything requires an account, everything collects your information, you can't own anything because you can only get subscriptions to services. There are way too many social media platforms, which are somehow all owned by the same few mega corporations (Meta, Google, Microsoft, etc.) AI is slowly taking over everything and spewing out misinformation left and right." "Lots of collectively-owned private, professional businesses: Private equity has been relentlessly buying up veterinarian practices, CPA firms, and — I'm sure — all kinds of other businesses so they can egregiously increase prices, sell everything that isn't nailed down, cut staff to nothing, then sell the little bit that's left to some naive future buyer at a hugely inflated cost." "Teachers. Not teaching itself, but the whole system around it. So many teachers are underpaid, overworked, and just done. A lot are quitting quietly or switching careers, and schools are struggling to replace them. It's kind of scary how fast it's unraveling, but no one's really screaming about it yet." "Maybe not on the brink, but possibly approaching — The AMOC, or Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, is a large system of ocean currents that acts like a conveyor belt, circulating warm and cold water throughout the Atlantic Ocean." "Bridges, railroad lines, power grids, and water pipes. Some of them are decades old and unstable (Germany)." "A bunch of small ecosystems around the world." "The working class. Hopefully, the collapse will wake some folks up, but I don't have a lot of hope when they seem perfectly happy in their caves staring at the shadows." "Critical thinking. Humanity is over-reliant on devices and AI to do their thinking for them instead of using tech to enhance their own thinking." "The movie industry feels that way in Hollywood right now." "The Cascadia Subduction Zone." "The 'enrollment cliff' is starting. This year, the lack of kids born during and after the 2008 recession is starting to graduate from high school. In this population pyramid, you can see that starting at the 15-19 age group, birth rates went down and kept going down. Now, it was already going down on average, but right before the recession, there was a small uptick that could have been a turnaround." "Civilizations decline/collapse over generations — I'd suggest that there is a strong possibility that 'the free liberal West' is in the early stages of a multi-generational decline, not unlike that of the Roman empire. Facebook and Netflix are our bread and circuses while around us, cultures that are not compatible with our (democratic, egalitarian, progressive, liberal) values are rising to challenge and eventually displace us. It won't happen in my lifetime, but it is happening." "The Anthropocene." "Overly complex appliances, cars, TVs, etc." "I think our civilization's ability to write without Generative AI. I believe writing is thinking, and it provides clarity to our thoughts. A vast majority of university students are now relying on services like ChatGPT, which I believe will eventually affect us in the long run. I don't have research backing up my claim, and I hope I'm wrong. Regardless, I'm worried." "Surprised I didn't see many posts about insects. We are in a mass extinction event of something like 60% of their population."

Harry Paidas: Counting the ways we live life by the numbers
The other night, while lying awake at 3 a.m., as I am prone to do, rather than counting sheep, I tried to comprehend how important numbers have become in our lives. I will only scratch the surface in the following paragraphs, but it is fascinating how numbers rule our lives. It is also fascinating to think how life would be different had we stuck to the Roman numeral system rather than converting to the Arabic system in the 16th century. We Boomers might remember that the educators of our time were insistent that we learn Roman numerals as well as other now nearly obsolete things like Latin, writing in cursive, diagraming sentences, using a slide rule and long division. Today's students, products of the Age of Technology, have their share of requirements but because of technology, their tools have taken them to a new frontier. The only common usage of Roman numerals has been relegated to designating which Super Bowl is being played. I think NFL brass thinks it is classier to use Roman numerals. Unfortunately, anyone younger than 65 needs to consult Google to figure it out. Meanwhile, Arabic numerals dominate in all facets of our lives. (For the purpose of consistency, I will deviate from the journalistic practice of using the word for a number under 10 and use numerals throughout). Let's look at my typical day. I look at the clock: 6:30 a.m. I immediately put my Apple Watch on to begin measuring what I hope will be 10,000 steps. I look at my July calendar with its 31 days and realize I have a 10 a.m. doctor's appointment. I go to the kitchen where I put 4 scoops in the coffee maker to make 5 cups of coffee. I pour 4 ounces of juice and stick 3 prunes in my cereal. Then I take my nine pills and supplements. I'll skip over the parts that include the numbers 1 and 2. I get in the car and see the odometer is just over 50,000 miles. On my way to the doctor, I have to stay under 25 mph, then 35 mph, then up to 55 mph, then quickly back down to 25 mph. Kathe calls my phone number to remind me to stop at the grocery store to pick up 12 eggs. When I get to the doctor, the front office staff wants to confirm my Social Security number, my Medicare number, and the account number for my supplemental insurance. When I get to the inner doctor's office, they want me to know I am still 5-foot-6 and now weigh 175 pounds and remind me that I should be about 15 pounds less. Then it's time to check blood pressure, which ideally should be 120 over 75. Mine tends to be in the 130s over something in the 60s, which suggests I have both high and low blood pressure. Go figure. The week before, I had some bloodwork. Doc and I look at my numbers and if anything is out of range we discuss why and what to do about it. This day, she says, 'Your numbers look good.' Even though I don't feel so well, it's great my numbers are good. So, I leave the doctor's office and go to the grocery store. I can't believe I am paying $5 for 12 eggs. And, holy cow, bananas are 64 cents a pound! I think to myself, it's a good thing they aren't taking my blood pressure now. Everywhere I look in the grocery store, I see prices and realize that inflation is real. I return home and the mail has arrived. Electric bill, gas bill, water bill, cable bill and Visa bill have all arrived at the same time with various dollar amounts in Arabic numerals. They are also due by certain dates. I go to the newsfeed on my phone and see a full slate of baseball games are to be played. The Guardians and Pirates are both under .500 and hardly anybody bats .300 anymore. The Pirates have a pitcher, Paul Skenes, whose ERA, incredibly, is under 2.00. There was a time when I knew nearly every Major Leaguer's batting average, but my RAM has been jammed by the aging process. I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. And I hope you will take the time to pause and appreciate the works of our ancestors to bring us to this point. I know that ever since that near all-nighter when I came to the realization that numbers dominate our lives, I have accepted and even embraced the importance of numbers. Even when I go to the doctor and I am not feeling well, I love to hear her say that my numbers are good. In fact, in what I hope are many years from now, if you happen to be strolling through city cemetery and see my name, I have left instructions for the headstone to read: 'But his numbers were good …' Harry Paidas is faculty emeritus at Mount Union and writes a periodic column for The Review.

How to Choose the Right Norwich Plumber
Sourcing a reliable local plumber in Norwich can feel like more hassle than the leak itself. You need a plumber who can attend on time, provide helpful information, and get the job done for a reasonable price. So, how do you identify the right plumber from the group? Follow the practical steps below to help you make the right choice. You don't need telling that pipes and heating matter, but it's easy to overlook how much is at stake until you're ankle-deep in water. Plenty of horror stories start with a 'cheap fix' that turned into a long-term headache. Protecting your home and cash starts with picking someone trustworthy the first time. 1. Proper Licensing and Insurance First things first: Is your plumber legit? Everyone says it, but how many actually bother to check? Ask outright for proof of licence and insurance. Any top-notch local plumber will happily show you their certificates, dodgy operators expect you not to ask. What's your licence number? Can you share it? Are you insured? Exactly what does it cover? If you sense reluctance or get vague answers, walk away. Your home isn't worth risking on someone who might not be qualified. 2. Relevant, Local Experience The best plumbers don't just fix pipes, they know the quirks of Norwich buildings. Our city is full of characterful old homes that often hide odd problems. Someone with years in the area has likely seen it all and won't be fazed by a Victorian radiator or piping that looks like spaghetti. Have they worked on jobs like yours? Can they handle both new installations and tricky repairs? Ask for Norwich-specific experience. Someone proud of their skills will be delighted to show you photos or put you in touch with a happy customer. 3. Reputation and Reviews Nothing beats word of mouth, even in the digital age. Don't just scroll for star ratings, read the actual stories. Did the plumber show up on time? Clean up afterwards? Stay calm when things got messy? Scan Google reviews, Nextdoor, Facebook groups Look for repeat customers praising the same strengths People rarely sugarcoat it if a plumber left chaos behind or added mystery fees. Trust your community's experiences over flashy adverts. 4. Transparent, Upfront Pricing A proper plumber tells you what you're in for before picking up a wrench. Be wary if you're given an uncomfortably vague estimate or are told 'we'll see what the job involves'—and then handed a steep invoice. Will you get a detailed written quote? Are any extras (parts, travel, emergency charges) included? What happens if they unearth a bigger problem mid-job? For anything more involved than a dripping tap, ask the plumber to look first and break down the cost, so there are no nasty surprises later. 5. Responsiveness and Availability Nothing adds stress like silence when the kitchen's filling up with water. How quickly does the plumber call or message back? Will they really answer an emergency at night—or just claim to be '24/7' online? Find out their real emergency response time. How soon can you get booked for routine work? A local Norwich plumber like Royal Flush Plumbing has the edge. They know the routes (and the traffic jams!) and are more likely to treat you as a neighbour, not just another call-out. 6. Guarantees and Peace of Mind Would you trust a tradesperson who can't stand behind their work? A solid guarantee, like a year's cover for repairs or warranties for installations, shows confidence. Make sure you leave knowing you're protected if anything goes wrong after the van's driven off. What's covered and for how long? Will the plumber come back quickly if a fix doesn't last? Shy away from anyone who dodges questions about guarantees. If the repair is good, there's no reason not to promise as much. Even Norwich has its share of cowboys. Keep your eyes open for red flags: No licence or insurance 'on hand' Prices that sound too cheap Hard to reach or slow to reply Demanding cash and refusing receipts It doesn't matter how friendly they sound, your home is on the line. Still stuck between a few possibles? Here's how locals whittle it down: Ask people you trust. Most folks are delighted to share a good tradesperson's number. Check trusted directories. Rated People and Checkatrade let you read real reviews and see how each plumber stacks up. Compare like for like. Get three quotes for exactly the same work. If one's much higher or lower, don't be afraid to ask why. Our city's plumbing challenges aren't like everywhere else. Many Norwich homes are genuinely old—meaning pipes that have outlived generations, and heating systems that sometimes have a mind of their own. Older properties: You need someone who won't damage historic features or get flummoxed by plumbing quirks. You need someone who won't damage historic features or get flummoxed by plumbing quirks. Hard water: Norwich's water can do a number on pipes and boilers. A good plumber knows how to tackle scale and fit softeners. Norwich's water can do a number on pipes and boilers. A good plumber knows how to tackle scale and fit softeners. Flood-prone areas: Certain spots here are susceptible to heavy rainfall. Ask if they can handle drainage, sump pumps, or waterproofing if that's you. Not all plumbers are created equal. Here's what stands out for Norwich: A real Norwich base. They aren't just a website, they've got an office or at least a local address. Upstanding reputation locally. When Norwich residents praise a plumber, that tells you plenty. Community-minded. The ones sponsoring local footie teams or taking part in charity events tend to value their reputation. Now you've done the research, go with your gut as well. A plumber who picks up the phone cheerfully, explains things patiently, and makes you feel confident is worth their weight in gold. When you choose wisely, you're not just sorting out a leak, you're building a relationship you can count on for the next emergency, upgrade or anniversary burst pipe (because, let's be honest, these things happen at the worst possible times). Having a trusted Norwich plumber on speed dial is one of those little things that keeps your home running, so you can get on with enjoying the city and everything it offers. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
