@NobodySock said in Destiny, is it a real thing?: @Copper said in Destiny, is it a real thing?: Sardinia offers €15,000 (about $16,200 USD) to those who move to a rural area and renovate a home. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/migrate/17-places-around-the-world-that-will-pay-you-to-move-in/sardinia-italy/slideshow/111550949.cms many have made mention to this deal Italy has going on trying to reinstigate population growth in depressed areas of the country, mostly small towns that are near ghost towns now as the kids, when done with school all end up moving out of country for work. There are sticky rules to take such an offer though. One would be required to pay for renovations desparately needed in these homes in question. much more than the 15K. Yes, I have seen those offers of a house for a euro. From a distance, looks like fun, but I am sure that the reality is not quite as fun. LOL

Mostly just incomplete. But remember the wisdom of the philosopher Charlie Sheen - you don’t pay them to sleep with you. You pay them to go home afterwards.

Bill Barr is educated, experienced, and accomplished. He is also correct, when he agrees with me.

Wow!! I guess he had nothing to lose. What are they going to do? Put him in prison for life? :eek

I saw a similar map (which I cannot find now. aargh) which compared the GDP of Silicon Valley to the fifty states (did not include our 51st state - Canada. LOL). Anyway, the GDP of Silicon Valley was higher than the GPD of at least 35 states. But, as was pointed out by folks like @89th and @Jolly, it is a "symbiosis" relationship. One would not survive with out the other.

@jon-nyc said in Mirror, mirror on the wall….: I have mailed him letters to his home and every time I’m in a Hyatt I remind them to let him know. If you have any fault, it's that you care too much.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see him post a pick of a dick like that.

My brother did it. Honestly I don't really care who has DNA data.

Without Roundup or other weed and grass killers, modern landscaping and farming is impossible. Choose.

So that’s why restaurants seemed so cheap in France. Maybe this retiring to Europe thing isn’t so bad.

Could be getting close to a Time Of Choosing. Is this student supporting terrorism and the eradication of Jews more important than the research the faculty is doing or their jobs? Choose.

(And yes I know, Neil didn't even stop to have his OWN picture taken while on the moon...I think he's reflected in Buzz's visor in one photo and that's it.)

There's a street around the corner from us where a bunch of rich people live, and quite a few of those houses are lit up. I quite enjoy it, TBH. Obviously, it's not particularly classy, but it's kind of fun. Not really worth getting upset over. If it upsets the HOA, all the better (we don't have any of that rubbish here in the wastelands of semi-rural Rhode Island).

That was great @NobodySock . Thanks for sharing that.

While there, they will undergo "a progressive 45-day post-mission recovery program," NASA says. During this time, the crew will have medical and performance testing, participate in studies and follow a "structured reconditioning program." They'll spend two hours every day with trainers, working on a personalized recovery plan to work back toward the fitness levels they had before they left on their mission, NASA says. and (from another astronaut And at one point while still getting adjusted to being back on Earth, he forgot he could no longer float. "I was like, laying in bed. I had to go to the bathroom and I just started pushing off my back thinking, 'I'm going to float to the bathroom.' And the light was out and I'm pushing up and I roll out of bed," he says.

Jokes about the priesthood aside, the hardest one to deal with would probably be ongoing child abuse. We have a friend in the UK who's a GP, and she said it's surprising how many people seem to think that a doctor is bound by the same rules as a priest. Needless to say, she reported the bastard immediately.
