    @LuFins-Dad said in Indiana Jones: Time to let it die?: @George-K said in Time to let it die?: I'd never heard of Kennedy until looking into this story. ETA: Looking at her Wikipedia page, it's an impressive run. She killed Star Wars. [image: 1725885070142-screenshot-2024-09-09-at-7.30.08-am.png]

    Not sure what happened. It was one of those ‘guess the diagnosos’ accounts that showed surgeons taking out a 3’ or so parasite from a gut. As it was fully removed it started wiggling. It was probably 2” in diameter.

    Don't care for the Saturday morning super casual stuff (at least tuck your shirt in), but I agree with much of his message. I've heard the verses in Ezekiel preached several times over the years, even a little bit similar to this. I do appreciate the weaving of Scripture in to support his preaching points, although I would like more exposition. But I understand why he's doing what he's doing. As for the gist if the sermon, I find many points to agree with. He makes a better argument than I about voting for flawed candidates and I hope people took that message to heart. It's the only practical way for a Christian to address so many things in politics. There was only one perfect man and they nailed Him to a cross. He does overstate the number if Evangelicals. The number referenced is self-described, by the widest criteria. By theological definition, I think that number is probably around 30M. But that's quibble. I thought he preached a good sermon. Maybe Jon ought to give it a listen.

    Not really except for dinner tonight. But I’ve been here several times, including with the boy.

    @Jolly said in Pats win!: Right now, Washington trails Tampa in the third. But guys, I'm tellin' ya, if Daniels can stay in one piece, he's going to make them a decent QB. Plenty of decent QBs out of the league by year 3.

    Here’s my proposal the first two years of a PELL Grant can ONLY be used at a Community College or Trade School. Any student applying for a loan must pass an exam where they calculate out the monthly interest of the loan and show the the total amount paid over 10 years.

    I always always do my research first and know who I want to see. I’ll usually take my PCPs recommendation because he’s very well connected in my system, but I still research them first. Physicians are not interchangeable widgets, which is why I despise the hospitalist system.

    @Copper said in Nobody is going to get this for $10K: @LuFins-Dad said in Nobody is going to get this for $10K: The website says they are quite a bit more… The $10,000 home "Starting at $60,000" A bit more And I wonder if the $60K includes shipping and assembly? The videos I saw showed a crane… Cranes ain’t cheap…

    Button down collar, necktie, ivy league haircut, dark suit. The Dave Brubeck Quartet is awesome. Dave looks a little like Joe Isuzu in the closeup. I have at least 2, maybe 3 copies of that tune.

    Even with "perpetual" copyrights, there may be a way to make intellectual properties affordable and publicly accessible. For example: after X years, a copyrighted work maybe freely reproduced and made available according to a licensing fee structure prescribed by law. (Granted it will get complicated for derived works, but there may be solution there too.)
