@89th Agree

It is indeed. We've often discussed which party is going to be the adult in the room. They clearly have not exerted enough brainpower to see they are simply behaving like a mirror image of what they abhor. I have no problem with Kimmel getting his show canceled for business reasons, which would have been valid given current ratings at the time, but not because they were strongarmed by the administration. Although that's exactly what was done to Trump, et al, we just don't need a race to the bottom.

Hey, I took a knee, too! It was Nick Bosa’s, but I took it…

Cool gesture. I just hope the world will be understanding if the kid sells it.

@Mik said in This Is the Oldest Wine Region in the U.S.—and No, It's Not in California: Ohio was the country’s largest producer of at one time. The Monongahela Valley in Western PA was largest and finest producer of whiskey in the country until that asshole George Washington came in and started shooting people. The whiskey makers moved out of the US into Kentucky and had to substitute crappy ass corn for Monongahela Rye, and thus was born soda pop bourbon. There was only one whiskey maker that stayed in the Monongahela area, Old Overholt, until they were bought out and moved by Jim Beam.

A sign of the apocalypse rapture?

@LuFins-Dad Maybe that is where George, Jolly, Aqua, etc. have gone.

@taiwan_girl said in Shooting at ICE facility in Texas: @89th I saw that movie not too long ago. Funny in a stupid way. 555 Oh, The Jerk was brilliantly funny.

@Axtremus said in Me Learning LLM Reasoning: @Horace said in Me Learning LLM Reasoning: I was really shocked to see that Ax didn't want to continue the conversation with Klaus, ... I missed @Klaus' latest reply because your mindless copied-and-pasted ChatGPT dribble drowned it out. Oh, my fault. I thought it was your 1000th straight ignored question. Turns out, this time you would have answered.

@LuFins-Dad I get what you are saying. We went back to tenting about ten years ago after almost twenty years of a truck camper. There was an adjustment involved that took a week or so. Still, I am content with tenting and the additional effort it takes to make a proper weather ready camp. I was lucky, I learned those skills as a kid from my father.

The man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course last year tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen shortly after being found guilty of all counts on Tuesday. Officers quickly swarmed him and dragged him out of the courthouse. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/jury-convicts-ryan-routh-of-trying-to-assassinate-trump-at-his-florida-golf-course

Eight convicted rioters were sentenced to varying prison and jail terms last week for their role in a So Cal Antifa attack in southern California in 2021. Heh… you know what I was going to post

Yeah that 2nd amendment one just made me sick. And I love a good offensive joke, too!

We are going to have some seriously smart and educated people coming up in the next generations, along with some seriously stupid ones who just rely on AI for everything. Jon Von Neumann, who has a reasonable claim to being the greatest intellect ever, had full time specialized tutors throughout his childhood. A version of him without that, would almost certainly not have been the towering force he became. Now, everybody will have a world class tutor in any subject, at their fingertips.

And privileging them is a worse outcome than preventing 50,000 accidents?

If someone would like another example, the following people seem to have declared two or three different homes as their primary residence when applying for a mortgage: Greg Abbot Scott Bessent Lisa Cook Notice any differential legal treatment among the three cases?
