Yeah, I suspect we haven’t even scratched the surface yet.

I would so do that.

And I hate guided tours. Much too slow and boring. It’s like actually reading a self help book. 300 pages that could easily be condensed to a one pager.

@Tom-K said in A Christmas Message: Reading that Trump message after being away for a month from paying attention to any news or headlines or discussions of politics and it does come as a cold slap in the face that DJT just might be really really crazy. When I was in the middle of the news cycle day to day I guess I might have dismissed that as, "oh, that's just Trump." But as an isolated stand alone Christmas greeting from the most powerful man in the world those little paragraphs are kind of scary. Just sayin'. Funny...I was offline for about 3-4 days and I also had temporarily forgotten how insane he is. It does further prove my very selfish but realistic point that 99% of what you see in the news has absolutely zero effect on your life.

Merry Christmas, LD. A bit late but I've been away from the internet for a bit. We had a nice day... with kids 7, 5, and 2, I have been living in unpackaging toys hell...batteries, unclipping tightly packaged toys, setting up some electronics, setting up even more hot wheels tracks. Honestly I don't mind it (other than the very loud noise of all 3 kids asking for something at the same time) but I know their youth and excitement is fleeting in life, so I enjoy it. I also enjoy a very subtle pair of "noise reducing" (almost invisible) ear plugs. It's called "Loop", I think. It cuts the volume of noise down about 50% which I cannot describe how much it helps me avoid being an overstimulated dad with a headache.

That's hilarious. Someone at the DOJ thought if they just highlighted the text and made the background black, it would be redacted.

Why does he refer to himself in the 3rd person, including his employment title and his middle initial, are there other Donald Trumps out there we need to not be confused about? And back to this issue... I remember as a younger adult in the 2000s how I was a GWB fan and how the media was nearly unanimous in their critiquing of Bush, his policies, his speaking blunders... oh how nice the left had it, they didn't even realize how much worse it could get.

The EU cannot really be compared to the US because most of the power still resides within the countries and not the EU (e.g., defense). Which means that the EU commission can also not be blamed for that many things. Thta said, what that person says is mostly harsh but true in my opinion.

She talked about gripping my shaft.

I mean, piracy is actually a respected thing there.

Hotdogs/pretzles, strange halal meats, roasted nuts, and Latinos with fruits, though the latter not so much in midtown.

A life well lived. Like him or not he was there to do his best for what he believed in and he did just that. God bless him.

@mark From what I understood on the Hazardous History episode it did contain a radioactive element. Wikipedia appears to confirm it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_U-238_Atomic_Energy_Laboratory

Fantastic.

I also found out there is The Punk Rock Museum here. That has to be the least punk thing ever.
