A pissed off Panthers’ fan.

I am reminded of the joke about 900 lawyers buried up to their necks.

Wow! Sad for everybody involved and all the lives that they touched.

No DOS, no VMS, no System/360, no BSD ... pppfffttt!

@Doctor-Phibes You never heard of the camel hump?

Eric Adams should give her a medal.

@George-K said in Busking: Didn't Joshua Bell do something similar? I remember when he did this in the DC subway. Joshua Bell is one of the world's greatest violinists. His instrument of choice is a multimillion-dollar Stradivarius. If he played it for spare change, incognito, outside a bustling Metro stop in Washington D.C., would anyone notice? Link to video

@Jolly said in Recycled: Sometimes not. I think mostly not. LOL Until oil prices get higher, it is still cheaper to make new plastics out of oil than out of recycled plastics.

Yes, you can own an RPG in the USA. If it is functional, it would require a tax stamp and a year-long background check. https://www.ncesc.com/gaming-pedia/is-it-illegal-to-own-an-rpg-in-the-us/ So, they are treating the purchase differently than buying a handgun. There is obviously an "interpretation" on how different arms should are treating. Should we make buying a handgun have the same requirement? Does your back get sore from moving the goalposts? LOL I think my point is valid. I am looking at the big picture.

@LuFins-Dad said in Cash or Debit card: You want him to physically see the money leave. If he wants to buy something that is in an online game or some such, have him pay you from his cash to put it on your card. Have him physically pay it. Agree with this. Kind of like the "envelope" method of budgeting.

@Mik said in Hey Lufin: I'm still concerned whether Burrow can spend more time upright and uninjured. They keep adding to the line with the same result. He likes to hold the ball for the deep routes. He will take a hit. Problem is, guys in the NFL are bigger and faster, meaning they hit extremely hard.

https://www.axios.com/2024/06/18/la-schools-vote-to-ban-cell-phones-during-school-day The Los Angeles Unified School District voted 5 to 2 on Tuesday to ban cellphone and social media use for its more than 429,000 students during the school day. And I think that the State of California is looking to do the same thing statewide.

He didn't climb. He slithered.

@Renauda said in Meanwhile, in Britain...: @Doctor-Phibes Indeed, the Conservatives have made quite a hash of it all. The rot started with that unparliamentary referendum over EU membership and has continued unabated to this point. Labour has quite a Herculean task ahead of itself. Similar has occurred here under the Liberal non Government of the past nine years. As a former colleague would say when political parties ceased to be effective, “Out’cha go!” I don't think I can remember a government as unpopular as the current one.

@jon-nyc said in Douglas Murray, Medhi Hasan on Gaza - Munk Debate: There was a Munk debate a few weeks ago on whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It’s on the podcast channel Again too easily devolved into semantics. I do not care about verbal framings where something is or is not some top-shelf rhetorical impact word. (c.f. the "insurrection") These discussions become a battle over language and top shelf words, and ideas like "too much force in response to Oct 7" become secondary.

I saw Willie play live in candlestick as a giant and at shea as a met. I guess I’m old.
