We’ll see. In his first term he campaigned on allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Then he got elected and Pharma rolled him in one meeting. Biden then got it done, at least a start, with 10 drugs.

Pennies compared to what the government normally wastes money on.

One thing that occurred to me last night… I think there is a generation of kids out there now who know the Weird Al parodies better than the original songs… White & Nerdy achieved a lot more commercial success than Ridin’ Dirty… and kids that only heard American Pie a couple of times in their life can sing The Saga Begins by heart…

It was rather generous.

RIP. I saw him with Black Sabbath in 1978 just before he got kicked out of the band - it was their 10 year anniversary tour. The backing band was Van Halen!. It was easily the loudest gig I've ever been to, although it was my first one so maybe that affected the memory a little.

The Nats just fired their GM and coach, too. You know, you have to be the cream of the crop to even get to the big leagues, so I can see how any team can win any given day… usually it’s the teams that learn base hits are better than HR swings, and if they can get 2-3 strong starting pitchers… that’ll usually get them far into the post season.

All the Finnish I know comes from porn.

He looks 20 but nobody was videotaping themselves practicing piano in 1961.

@89th said in Wesley Yang, getting it said.: ... My daughter has been a unicorn for like 2 years. I suppose you would not be taking her to see "Death of a Unicorn," the movie?

So what kind of music? My kids watched the Trolls movie recently, which is basically covers of hits… my 4 year old son is humming Motown Philly by Boyz 2 Men… it’s a welcome treat compared to normal stupid toddler music.

@LuFins-Dad said in Quickbooks, WTF?: I went online to buy it last night. It’s now a subscription service at frigging $900 per year! And that’s the essentials package. The average mid tier is $1400 per year. What the actual bleep? Don’t forget about the best part. After you pay, you get to actually keep NOTHING!

An update, evidently a technician had been out to the house earlier that day because a propane delivery guy smelled the leak that morning and warned the homeowner. The technician came out, inspected it, and told her there was no problem and specifically told her not to alert neighbors or the authorities. That technician was found guilty today of involuntary manslaughter, and is facing 10 years in prison.

Yea, remember back when the word "comedian" meant a person that was funny? Bob Newhart was one of the best. RIP.
