Maybe...but the fertility rate in Africa is substantially higher than any other continent. Lots of labor that need to work.

For example, the country of Nigeria will be the world's 3rd most populous country in the next 30 years, only behind India (#1) and China (#2).

Is that with or without covid?

"The guard was asleep" LOL.

I was aware of the Soviet Union being interested in ground-effect vehicles, but I never knew about the ekranoplan.

Lol guys

Well, those comments made the circuit.

Copper would never scare all those nice people on the plane like that.

He didn't! That's one of the weird things about the story: he was a nice guy to everyone.

Link to video

Not the first time I’ve posted this, and won’t be the last. 😂

That guy's hilarious. Also: he slayed on Rock Quiz. Every time.

That video is just an eagle with juveniles in what looks like Florida. Beautiful still.

Nobody likes a smug limey.

Or so I've heard.

When we were diligent about stoking the fireplace, yeah, that's about what we went through. Granted, this was an older model, I think we installed it in 1986-87. It was rated at 80K BTU and heated the entire downstairs (about 1800 square feet) of a poorly insulated house with 1921-vintage windows.

Don’t know about Lopez but the dirty dozen was a terrific movie

My favorite scene

I wonder if you could successfully sue if you got in a wreck on or around 3 years and a day. Does GM notify you when that feature is about to expire?

Sounds like yet another boneheaded GM move.

I watched Airplane just last weekend with the boy and was pleasantly surprised to see it hadn't been reedited. I thought I had read that they wanted to take the 'jive' scene out, but it was there.

That is awesome. I want one!!! LOL

(PS I like the driving through the horse (or cow) poop at the 11 seconds period LOL)

Cincinnati did the same thing in the Delta Center. Not sure how much was spent but not a single patient ever went there.

I used to have a colleague who was a professional classical guitar player before he turned into a computer scientist.

That's like running away from the circus to go and work in a bank (as they said about John Major)

In the dim mists of my youth, I could do 500. I can't even conceive of 880.

Scheiße.

Related personal trivia - one of the pallbearers at my grandfather’s funeral was crew on the plane that went with the Enola Gay, which carried the photographer.
