    @Jolly Agree with all but the last one. Would have to think about that. For example, I am guessing that someone like John D'Oh pays into the social security system.

    My understand is that he got the rights to the concept. And, the guy who bought it, ate it. https://www.npr.org/2024/11/29/nx-s1-5210800/6-million-banana-art-piece-eaten

    @Mik said in Wrong religion: But the anti-Christ is OK. He's currently managing the England team, according to Nigel Farage.

    Those rotary sail installations on the massive cargo ships are likely to have a bigger aggregate impact, and they only reduce diesel fuel consumption and emissions by 6%.

    I am under the impression that Hunter Biden has been living rent free in a few people’s minds the past half dozen or more years. I therefore don’t how and why this new revelation would be have any consequence beyond gossip.

    I don't like it or dislike it. It is just something where you put your head down for hours and just keep shoveling. You just do the job.

    Redskins have sucked for years. When the schedule came out with the Steelers at Washington, I checked into tickets. $400 per for the cheap seats. FML.

    @Horace said in Cool ad: Granted, the all-white, all-cis-hetero cast is a change. Ha, I had the same thought. But after I also had the thought that kids are growing up too fast. I have a 6 year old daughter and a 1 year old daughter, and it's weird... playing with the 1 year old is almost like going in a time machine and re-living or re-playing with my oldest, when she was 1. Anyway... I really try to remind myself to (cliche) live in the moment during the holidays, family trips, etc. It's very easy to think and plan for the future, and often wish it gets here sooner (juggling 3 kids is hard, just yesterday I loudly exclaimed during a nap protest "I CANNOT WAIT TO BE DONE WITH THIS TODDLER PHASE!!!"), but not at the sacrifice of their innocent childhood.

    Maybe it's a gift because FedEx lets you pick another place for it to be delivered if you want to keep it's delivery hidden, such as Walgreens. You could always ask him why.

    iCloud photos are encrypted when being up/downloaded. Once in iCloud storage they are also encrypted. The only way they could be accessed is if I share them with someone who then uploads to Google or another service.

    We’re not exactly in the bougie downtown district, but… The building my store is in was bought recently by a fairly famous commercial developer and builder in the area. Most of the commercial development in our area has this guy’s name on it (though most of the other developments he builds but doesn’t own). The other two businesses in our building were taken out, and a veterinarian and bougie pet salon were put into their spaces. Our total square footage is 8K. Theirs is 40K. The building management (not the contractor that owns the building) let slip to me that our rent is significantly higher than the rent paid by the Vet/Salon. Of course, the vet that owns the business is the contractors daughter…
