As the young’uns say, I was today years old when I learned that her last name was Swit not Swift

As health supplements go, that one is probably more reasonable than most. At least you know that if it does make a difference, it'll be a positive one.

Why, does Trump like gold?

Hate to break the news to you, I know this is news because I am smart and thought of this before anyone, but society is made up of individuals. Thousands, some even say billions. We're one big bell curve. There will always be outliers...some think the earth is flat, some think there's T3H B4RGE!!!1, some love conspiracy theories... hey they are kind of fun to think about, and if you're in a spot in life where it explains hardship by blaming something else, so be it. Society has always had these faith/blind believers against forces of power. Throw a worldwide epidemic that killed 7 million people (including half a million in the USA in the first year)... that'll get a few more folks talking about "they".

@mark Superlative arrangement and playing. Effortless technique. Oddly I don’t see her on Qobuz although she has recorded at least one album.

@blondie said in Anyone else struggle with booze?: There are entire chunks of my kid’s childhood I can’t recall. Reminds me of some jokes that old people tell, something along the line of "if you remember the 60s (or 70s), you didn't live it."

“Where’s Jolly? I miss him ”

I think my school did some of these things too. Those last weeks were celebratory. I, though, could not attend. It was determined I had the wrong PhysEd course for my university entrance (my credits were from another school), so in order for a mark to be submitted for the right course, the principal and PhysEd teachers had me doing all sorts of stupid stuff during grad week. One of my tasks was to have the grade 10s practice their golf drives in the field, another was chaperoning students to a local 9 hole course.

@Mik said in Interesting: On a later slide I learned that David Hogg is now a DNC vice chair. Jesus. How did you miss that? We talked about it here…

Busy now I went once will post about it later.

It's hardly going to MAGA

@AndyD said in Optical illusion: Every 5 seconds for me🤪 Yeah me too. I had to "force" myself to try and not let the shapes change perspective and even then most of the time it kept happening.

That looked like Max Verstappen in the Red Bull swamp buggy

I wonder if he used the same microphones and speakers in the broadcast booth as the ones he used in getting the opponents play calls back in the early 2000s?

Nah. I have had both. I see no reason to spend more money when I have two perfectly good Lenovo Yogas, one in the sunroom, one in my upstairs office. Both have been remarkably trouble free. Life is good. One I bought in 2018, one in 2022.

Love the Gibbs reference.

@LuFins-Dad said in Dress Code Violation: I mean, that’s a fact. As is his shirt. Actually not really. ‘There are only two sexes’, sure. But gender is made-up-and-agreed-upon.
