    They can eschew lockdowns all they want, but the genie is out of the bottle. Folks are not going to go out and travel as normal until this is whipped.

    They bought it. I think they might still live there. Steve did a 2 year post doc at UW, I just found a video from 1992 where there is a tour with the person who the house must have been built for (Mrs Jacobs?) We were there from 89 - 91. Pretty sure that sculpture in your photo is by an Wisconsin artist named Ellis Nelson. We all drove by the guys place on one of our weekend trips, they bought that one, and we bought several (that we’ve since hauled all over the country!). I seem to remember that the house was pretty well hidden (so not easy to find unless you knew what you were looking for.

    @taiwan_girl said in Unprofessionalism at the Trump White House: it is very poor to send out official things from the government with mis spellings, etc. Perhaps, if they had a corpse of people to deal with such things, LOL.

    @Mik said in Forum Issues: The Obscenity Filter: @Klaus said in Forum Issues: The Obscenity Filter: Oh, sorry, I underestimated the complexity of the issue. So you are saying that the number of o’s depends on the context and you phone can still get it right? That sounds like a breakthrough in machine learning on a massive scale. No, it's just scared of Brenda.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Is it the forum or my own settings?: Suddenly, when I open a thread, it no longer goes in order of the post, but in reverse order. It shows the original post, then the most recent, then the one just before that, and so on... is this just me? It wants you to feel special.

    I've been to them in Vegas, Atlantic City, Monte Carlo, Punta del Este, and Macau. Monte Carlo was truly classy. Macau and Punta were high end as well, though you got the feeling it was more a local norm rather than strict rules that kept out the guys in shorts. Macau has the very same casinos you see in Vegas. Vegas and Atlantic City are, well, Vegas and Atlantic City.

But he is doing better and we're all more confident that he has lots of time left. That's amazing to hear, man. Yes, excellent to hear that news @Horace

    @George-K said in Packed comments: @jon-nyc said in Packed comments: strategic ambiguity is the right thing do. "Mr. President, will you denounce right wing groups?" The media is all over his supposed "strategic ambiguity" on this issue. Why excuse Joe and not Trump? As long as you can put “acquiescing racism” and “court packing” on different moral planes, yeah, you can excuse one but not the other. Try this version: “Mr. President, will you denounce the Nazis?” “Schutzstaffel, stand back and stand by.”

    @Mik said in Hey, Jolly!: I’d bet Jolly’s on cleanup duty. Actually, I had to help pull a guy out of the floodwater yesterday evening. Some people ain't got no sense. As for LSU, I enjoyed running COVID tests more than the Missouri game. That flag should be at half-mast.

    I could see how MBS pressured her to do this or she felt the need to continue to ingratiate herself with Saudi leadership. Does this constitute interference with our elections?
