The Chicago Bores... Last Super Bowl was, what, 1984?

No need, I hear it whenever I go within earshot of any public transit bus shelter at any given shopping centre in this city.

Front has gotten here as of yet. 78° and cloudy.

I'm all for photovoltaics once we have a good battery technology where we can store enough energy for days and weeks with little or no sun (as opposed to minutes). Right now, its utility is rather limited. Over here, we get negative energy prices on a regular basis, which is (somewhat paradoxically) costing the consumer a fortune.

@Jolly said in Brenda Lee: She married the first guy she ever went on a serious date with, after they dated for six months. She was 18. Their first daughter was born just over a year after their marriage. BTW, they're still married. Coward. I meant Mrs. George in October 1976. She didn't talk to me for a month. We went on our first date in the middle of November 1976. We got engaged in December 1976 - a month after our first date. We married in June 1977, six months later. BTW, we're still married, lol.

Nope. LOL i know you are going to say I sound like a dead horse, but presidents take too much credit and get too much blame, especially when look at their terms in a "finite" four year period. Who is getting the blame for the 2022/2023 inflation? President Biden. Did President Trump have a significant impact on that? Yes. Does he get the blame? In the thoughts of most Americans, not really.

@taiwan_girl said in Interesting political moment: @Jolly said in Interesting political moment: Trump/Biden - Probably the most even political divide of all time in America. A 5% shift in votes cause huge changes. So, it wasnt a landslide win? 555 (just teasing with you @Jolly ) This last election was bigger than a 5% change when compared to the last election.

INteresting (and a lot true) in that article.

The balls is also knowing where to puncture. I guess they sent a pic of the scan but still, u r basically blind, and what if u go in and brains start spilling out instead of blood. That would be messy.

It could happen. We will see tomorrow.

I see no evidence of tyranny in either act or intent.

To me, political commentators need to keep politics in a political perspective. Which is to say, a commentator can't expect me to care if they believe a candidate is morally compromised, until they can convince me that the compromise will come out in the wash in the results of that candidate's political career. There has been no convincing attempt at this that I've seen. Most commentary doesn't bother attempting to establish a link between Trump's character and his political actions. The commentary is just an attempt to establish that Trump is not a guy you'd want to invite to dinner, or whatever. (Never mind the status seeking apes engaged in the commentary would have twisted into pretzels to coax Trump to dinner, before he became a social pariah for tribal reasons.) If someone doesn't like Trump as a human being, ok then, but it does not mean you shouldn't like him as president. Actually I like him as a human being and a president, but to each their own. I don't require any personal fealty from those I like as people and politicians. I require them to behave in ways I expect them to behave.

The predictive stuff is nice, I'll grant you. That's what makes it faster.

Craig Fugate, the FEMA director who coined that phrase ‘Waffle House Index’, started off as the emergency manager for Alachua County (Gainesville, FL) where my sister has spent her career. She remembers when his office was an old closet in a county building. Odd coincidences led to the very unlikely scenario of she and I having personal connections with two consecutive FEMA directors.
