Seen on Twitter: Before becoming a full-time actor, Steve Buscemi was a fireman in the Fire Department of New York. On 9/11, he went to the WTC site and worked for a week trying to dig up, living or dead, his 343 ex-colleagues in the FDNY who were still missing. 343

His ability to evade an answer to a question is really to be envied.

The programmed road signs on I-10 around my exit today read "do as mom says, buckle up".

cute

"Florida is fighting back against the global elite's plan … When did he stop being an “elite”? After his Yale undergrad? After leaving Harvard Law? Or maybe when he was an Assistant US Attorney? Or when he was elected to Congress? Or was it when he became Governor of the State of Florida?

@jon-nyc said in Waffle House: Is a horror show. I ate at one in Gainesville last week. I thought it would be like a Denny’s, Perkins, or IHop. Nope. It’s like McDonalds with plates. Small menu, nothing remotely healthy on it. Literally nothing enters the building that isn’t ultra processed. Yoghurt? Nope. Bagel with cream cheese? Nope. Berries and granola? Nope. How about just a banana? NOPE!! Not a single piece of fruit in the restaurant. (Even McDonald’s has apple slices). Maple syrup? Nope, not even for a fee. They don’t even have butter. I asked for hard boiled eggs. “We don’t have those”. Yet they have eggs and water and a stove. Come to think of it, maybe they don’t even have actual eggs. Just buckets of egg goo. Anyway, hard nope on ever entering one again. You’re bitching about no yoghurt or hard boiled eggs? FFS, did you even look at the floors? You obviously didn’t look too closely at the cleanliness of the utensils and glasses. I am honestly astounded that these places haven’t been shut down by health inspectors.

If I live to be a thousand, I will never understand why an average man would want to trade for being a seriously ugly woman.

@Renauda said in The kid equation: @Horace Is there anything else about yourself you haven’t already told us about? I like to maintain an air of mystery.

They crushed a piano and a guitar! Fuck Apple forever.

@LuFins-Dad said in Medical students are avoiding states with more restrictive abortion laws?: When you break it down by state and compare with regional preferences, the real story emerges and has nothing to do with abortion. That's why I posted the thread. It's far more complicated than NPR wants you to think.

No idea. I was up in my office doing financial reports and just looking down on it all. Fun to see barefoot kids running to catch him, moms trailing behind to pay.

Don't know what all the hubbub is about. He'll just be hungry in two hours...

I had to dump the treadmill last year. It was noisy and I didn't have a good place for it in the new house. And after 20,000+ miles it was time for a change. Now I just have the cycle, it is almost silent and fits nicely in a corner in the unfinished attic. But I do go to the Y to use their equipment sometimes I still like time on the treadmill there.

@George-K I question the general public’s need to know operational information of this nature. If this is true and was leaked, there is a big security problem close to the top.

Those guys are growing like gangbusters. I might try some.

I attended a small SBC college. I was a commuter student, but community was stressed. Continually. Not just a buzzword, but an effort. The college had a common core of subjects everyone was required to take. An art and music history/appreciation class. A basic philosophy class. A New Testament class. An ethics and values class. In a class of 300, sooner or later you had a class or classes, with everybody in your class and many of the guys above and below you. While everybody wasn't your best bud, we knew we were a group. An extended family. A community. Between the administrative offices and the student union, there was an eight foot swing underneath a massive pine. On the A-frame a sign was bolted on reading "President's Office'. And it was. The college president spent almost as much time in that swing as in his real office. Almost always, when you passed by and said "Hello", there'd be a student on the swing with him or a group of students gathered around him. Whether we stopped or not, the president usually spoke and asked how we were doing. And he meant it. Community.
