While most of the left-of-center professors, administrators and students might walk off the fabled campus en masse, that might be the best thing to happen to Harvard in decades. Wouldn't that be wonderful!

Getting anywhere with that?

@George-K said in Chumbolones: @taiwan_girl said in Chumbolones: would say that China is in much worse shape now than when President Biden was elected. I don't think people here will disagree. But, is it because of Biden? Well, I suppose it depends on how much power a person believes the president has to influence US policy. LOL You guys know my thoughts on this economically - I dont think that the president has as much influence as people say. Foreign policy, I think they do have a bit more power in this area. But it is really just shows the politic divide. President Trump does something good during his term pro Trump - happened BECAUSE of him anti Trump - happened DESPITE him President Biden does something good during his term pro Biden - happened BECAUSE of him anti Biden - happened DESPITE him I think it is good that we have these (mainly LOL) civil politic debate here on this forum. One of the reasons I like it so much. But, we all show are biases here also. During President Trump's term, the unemployment rate could have dropped to 0%, inflation to 0%, salaries increased 10% per year, and some people would have still complained.

What do you use?

Black children are simply not safe in Joe Biden's America.

@Mik said in Ok that’s great….: It'd be nice to vaporize their stock of weapons, yes. Then we could sell them some more.

I need to get the latest Covid vax. But not really worried about it. Covid et al are still affecting our lives. A lifetime friend's mother's service was yesterday. We decided not to go due to the stuff going around. Going to Vegas Thursday and did not want to risk it.

It's a replica, according to the web page.

@Mik I can’t hear Fur Elise without mentally singing the McDonald’s commercial For me it’s Schroeder and Lucy.

I can remember when IBM ruled the world. Woke, broke

I wouldn’t call that normal prepper behavior. His risk of being targeted is many orders of magnitude more than others.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Revolt: @Aqua-Letifer said in The Revolt: It used to be, publishing was to blame for most of it. The self-help/daily-schedule-to-greatness section of the bookstore is one of the most competitive in terms of submissions. What people really like to hear is how complex problems can be easily solved by a framework that has a simple name. MBA dipshits read these books instead of real ones and it all trickles down from there. I was once forced to read a book entitled 'Who moved my cheese?', which I was informed was a profound piece of philosophical thinking. What it actually was was some dickhead writing this great long-winded parable about a bunch of fucking rodents, with the final message 'change happens, you need to accept it and move on'. Apparently this book has sold 30 million copies. I do know they gave one to every single person in the company. Anyway, my friend in sales opened his next meeting with the question 'OK, who cut the cheese?' I was given the same book and was told the very same about it. I remember thinking the intended readership must be 5th graders.

Yup. I think you mentioned this before that the % of adminstration positions in colleges has increased a lot over the past few years.

@Doctor-Phibes And no, that's not necessarily true where I come from. Plenty of people aren't speaking received pronunciation etc. up in't North. Ayup, thay’d be knowin’ nowt about ‘at.

And a core drilled in 1966 in northwest Greenland suggests that that site was ice-free2 for an unknown period of time around 400,000 years ago. Thank goodness they stopped using fossil fuel 400,000 years ago so the ice could freeze again.

Saving for later.
