    There is something to be said about being a decent person. Not the biggest winner, not the coolest guy, not the person with the most money or the person with the hottest chicks. While playing against the woke mime Donald Trump turns out to be the ultimate post modernist icon. Good for him. To his credit he never said he was anything different.

    I bought one years ago in Cancun. We were on vacation there but my wife was getting her MBA at the time and all she did was study. We bought a timeshare. $5,000. Never went there, never used it. They charged us some money for "whatever" and we never paid. We got a blanket from the deal. It's around the house somewhere and it's called the "$5,000 blanket."

    Possibly. Here is the dashboard. If you go back a level in the breadcrumbs and click on CAROL you can build your own query. I started to try but decided I wasn't sure how they classified "commercial" so I decided to let you have fun! You can thank me later. https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/data/Pages/monthly-dashboard.aspx

    @Renauda Wow!!! Glad that you were okay. It is weird how some things happen, and if you were there a second/day/week earlier or later, the outcome would have been very different.

    @Mik said in This is not right: As I said, I have no issue with reducing the federal workforce but it doesn't have to be done in a capricious and unnecessarily harmful way. I've said this before more than once, but I find the fact that Elon Musk appears very much to enjoy doing this to people really distasteful.

    @jon-nyc said in Just now at Newark airport: I walked into an elevator in Boston, I think, where, unbeknownst to me, the Georgia basketball team was staying. I got into an elevator and I was the shortest one on it. Hasn’t happened to me since I was 12. Weird, a penis length contest in an elevator...

    A string of fraudulent charges hit one of my cards a few months back. Before that, I think I have went 20+ years without incident. If as @Jolly says these things go in waves, then I suspect it’s due to some business’ database getting hacked.
