Hahahahaha

@Doctor-Phibes said in No protests: As far as protests go, it's pretty much a given that nobody ever protests about anything that happens in Africa. Do you think the misgendered guy on the Delta flight was big news in Africa? Virtue goes both ways.

Got the Ooma a couple of days after I ordered. I placed a "port" order to have my phone # moved over to that service on 12/17. The port from AT&T was completed today. I plugged the Ooma into power, set it up via the app (of course) and got a message that all's good. After the port was completed, I plugged my 6-handset Panasonic phone into the Ooma Telo (the box). Worked perfectly. The only difference is that the Ooma plays a brief, different, dial tone when you pick up the handset. Quality of the voice is good - at least as good as a landline. What I really like is the "call log." Ooma remembers all incoming and outgoing calls, and you have the option to block any caller from the list of incoming calls. I guess they have a deal with Nomorobo, and for an additional $100 for "Ooma Premiere," you can have Nomorobo block calls as well. I'll wait to see how it goes before I spring for the "premium" service.

lol.

RIP funnyman. Shame your mother liked the other guy best. Enjoy your YoYo.

Excellent…

@89th said in Inspirations with Walton Goggins: I like Walton btw. He's a man who, on so many levels, doesn't take himself seriously. Well, maybe in The Shield, he did.

None. No tips other than to my barber.

To answer your question @LuFins-Dad it’s simple. To pardon them would’ve made it seem like he was with them, he was trying to play both sides that day and this would’ve undercut his narrative of not being involved once he realized what he had in fact incited.

@George-K The cop would have been in the next oldest group.

I think Mariah and Burl Ives are quite safe. I was surprised by how much the lead singer’s voice did carry the angst and pressure of a man whose insides are fighting the tidal movement force of Skyline chili, a meat product that makes Taco Bell look like Maslow, and a pile of cheddar cheese that would bind up the Hoover Dam… He truly sounded like a man caught between praying for the damn to burst and truly mortified at what will happen once it starts…

@George-K said in "How Left-Wing is the Press?": @Doctor-Phibes said in "How Left-Wing is the Press?": IMHO, you will get a fairer assessment of American politics and media from non-American publications Like...The Economist That's what I meant. I certainly wasn't referring to the Daily Mail, although that publication can also be very useful, particularly if you have an outdoor lavatory. The Economist isn't particularly partisan, and if memory serves is printed on shiny paper, so is less absorbent than The Mail.

By the way, that's my dad, Pepper. He's the one on top of the tower. He's retired now, having done all of his stud-work. [image: 1703631879220-359812721_693339579472718_6903915520487718273_n.jpg] [image: 1703631889610-359731958_693339582806051_2531896329785160521_n.jpg]
