Funny ! Sometimes Larry doesn't even need to post, we just know. . .

@jon-nyc said in Death is Undefeated: Wow, read the whole thing. That’s quite a story. Ditto. What a life of experiences.

My daughter’s name is Whitey McWhiteface. Ugh, guess I have to change it now...thanks a lot Obama.

Arizona! But it’s a dry COVID.

@jon-nyc said in Do rental cars get driven hard?: I shared my view in the other thread. Nobody pays $$$ to rent a high end sports car without getting their money's worth. But your average business renter who gets the Camry or the Ford Focus probably drives like does his own car. Yep.

That first officer seems pretty wimpy. That panicky crybaby stuff just shouldn't happen.

@Loki said in Punctuation matters: What if you take a dump? Why does one say "take a dump," when, in point of fact, you actually leave one?

I know only a fraction of the words of most native speakers, yet "elide" sounds quite familiar to me. For some reason it shows up in scientific papers quite frequently.

@89th I see what you did there..

That's more or less how I have approached this question the past nine years. Strangely enough, I don't regret doing so either.

@Rainman said in Jefferson and Washington: They toppled statues of Washington and Jefferson last night here in Portland. Draped a large American flag over one of the statues, and lit it on fire. I expect riots this weekend, to coincide with the Trump rally. Would be a good counter to Trump getting the spotlight, and a field day for the media. It's weird to see a statue of a founding father, with a burning American flag on it. Sad. Like that scene in Planet of the Apes where the Statue of Liberty is busted up on the beach. You get what you teach. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

@89th said in Hey Cats! Your AOC post of the day.: Who would ever build a wall? The Qing Emperor of ancient China and the Communist government of the former East Germany. Donnie promised to build one and so far he’s not getting it done. LuFin’s talked about it too but I don’t know whether he’s started.

H2 blockers increase gastric pH and reduce the bioavailability of doxycycline because of reduced absorption. Same hold true of PPIs, and also the calcium carbonate or aluminum hydroxide antacids (tums, maalox) which neutralize gastric acid.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Green tea results (2 weeks): This is about day 14 of my green tea habit: I've been drinking 5-6 cups a day. ("Cup" being about 7 oz of good stuff: 12g of tea, brewed for 10-15 sec at a time.) I've lost about 6 pounds (same eating habits), my blood pressure's gone down from about 145/90 to 125/85, my heart rate's down to about 54 bpm, and I'm sleeping a lot better in terms of quality and duration. Also the theanine's making me feel pretty good generally throughout the day. Seems to be a plus overall. Either that, or you've contracted HIV. I've heard that can happen with people overdosing on artisan teas.

Ironic they’re talking about the need to “dismantle the (racist) system” on Juneteenth, a celebration specifically highlighting that slavery was dismantled 155 years ago.

Karla found something similar on her android.

Might have been a good publicity stunt to get free attention.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Savior and Super Stud: @Friday said in Savior and Super Stud: Ax, your movie recos have been pretty lame, but your YT picks are pretty cool. Agreed. Thank you both for your encouragements. I shall keep the lame movie recos and cool YT picks coming.
