It'll heal. When someone says to me "I'm off to the gym to get fit" I reply "Fit for what?"

Jesus. Y’know, I like some of the policies but the fatigue is just awful.

Not me.

Peter, were you always so much better than your mom at the piano or only since you turned 10?

Bill Gates completely missed the importance of both the internet and smart phones until some time after others had picked up on them, and I suspect he's wrong this time as well.

Ha, sorry... trade secrets my son. Link to video

I used to work at a deli but I got fired for sticking my dick into the pickle slicer. She got fired too.

haha that made me chuckle

I've heard he's a great dude, a terrific musician, and yeah.... what a talent, makes me want to go back and watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (first "grown up" film I remember watching) and so many of his other comedy classics. Great Oscars host, too.

@LuFins-Dad said in Why HHS Pivots Away from mRNA Vaccines: DeSantis really should have wiped the floor with Trump, but he was too weak. He didn’t go in hard enough to beat him, nor soft enough to stay close enough for a cabinet position. But who knows, maybe it’ll serve him well in 28. Especially if some of trumps’s policies and up hurting people (I’m looking at you, tariffs) and those close to Trump get tainted by it.

I don't think so. He doesn't generally veil what he means in sarcasm.

I would love to have an older Ranchero or El Camino.

@Mik During our Minnesota winters when the snow is deep, I can look out the windows and see deer enjoying the use of the cleared sidewalks. They get tired of walking through the deep snow. They're so darn spoiled. They'll walk down the plowed sidewalks to a plowed driveway, then cross the street from there to the next plowed sidewalk. They finally go into a yard when they spot a favorite plant to eat. I love my new fences.

Interesting bits that didn't know before: Basically, when plants are growing, photosynthesis is happening in their cells. And that photosynthesis gives off a very specific wavelength of light. The OCO instruments in space measure that light all over the planet. "NASA and others have turned this happy accident into an incredibly valuable set of maps of plant photosynthesis around the world," explains Scott Denning, a longtime climate scientist at Colorado State University who worked on the OCO missions and is now retired. "Lo and behold, we also get these lovely, high resolution maps of plant growth," he says. "And that's useful to farmers, useful to rangeland and grazing and drought monitoring and forest mapping and all kinds of things, in addition to the CO2 measurements."

Interesting article.
