Not mentally ill at all

If any legal scholar had been asked pre-Trump what would happen if the vice president declined to certify an election, they'd have shrugged it off as something far less than a threat to our very democracy. These days, it's considered a loophole through which a bad actor president can become ruler for life. Which it is not, and never has been. It is only an existential threat loophole for rhetorical purposes.

@taiwan_girl said in Wonder if she can still sing?: It is as if she never mentally grew up past a teenager years. She's 42 years old. I reflect on where I was, in my career, at the age of 42.

@Axtremus said in Closing: @taiwan_girl said in Closing: (Japan has over 21,000 7-11's) In Japan's 7-11s they have fish ball skewers dunked in curry. I will have to try them. LOL. Going to Japan in a couple of months.

@taiwan_girl said in "Thou shalt not (silently) pray": How do they know what he was praying for. They are mind readers. Those Brits, you know...

Remember when nukular was evil? Now if you need to use ChatGPT, Siri, Grok, or whatever...then, never mind.

@taiwan_girl said in How about an Estonia (Piano) thread?: Doesn't @mark have the same type of one? Yes. Mark has an Etonia 190, iirc. I've touched assaulted it. Nice piano. Very nice piano.

There are tons of people out on Amazon overcharging for merchandise, preying on the gullible. I suspect it's lucrative.

@89th said in How to kill badly needed progress: hat is crazy... so the project has already been in the planning stage for 20 years, it'll take 10 years to actually construct (10 years! I'm glad we have quality standards in the USA... buildings aren't just collapsing like they do in China, but holy crap it only took 13 months to build the Empire State Building, And the Rome Colosseum was biult in 7 (or 9) years by hand and is still standing 2000 years later.

Given her background, her sympathies are understandable, but... not in a work video. The same would be true for a pro-Israel message. The focus is on the business. Cancel culture is real.

I am guessing this is just for US peopel? But not really surprising. I am guessing you could do the same things for neighborhoods, ethnic group, etc. and the line would be the same.

Ha, that is funny. Does remind me a little of how you used to be able to drive in front of the Lincoln Memorial (and white house... all very, very much blocked off these days.

That's cool. You and Mark can play duets. Talentless people like me are annoyed with talented people like you two.

I know that the band members work just as hard as the athletes. They basically have to learn a new show every week!

The Wicker Man?

We got our second dog 3 years ago, and I love having two as well. We also went through a period of re-adjustment while the older one basically used to sit staring at me while the newcomer misbehaved, as if to ask 'WHY, DAD, WHY???'. This was them when we got her...

She weighs 50 pounds.

Interesting article. It would be interesting to "see" one. Is it like one of those military board games? I think that the hardest thing is to accurately play the enemy. Almost impossible for someone who has a career in the US military to be able to think like the China or Russia or someone like that.
