    @LuFins-Dad That theory seems to be complicated by the fact that Trump won a larger share of the vote in Philadelphia in 2020 than he did in 2016. He even picked up a third ward. He lost ground in the suburbs. Like the polling said he was going to.

    @Renauda I've tried a bunch of different speakers over the years before settling on B&Ws. Started with AR3s, then Kef Cantata (similar to their 105), followed by B&W 802 Matrix, 801 Matrix, and current 800 Nautilus. I still have a pair of 805 S3's that I'm not currently using and a pair of Infinity speakers that I use for a second system. Still, until this week most of my listening was through Sennheiser HD 800 or a pair of eletrostatic Stax headphones that, while older, are amazing.

    It's kinda funny as I'm deferring SSA for 18 months to claim the maximum I can receive - so it makes sense that the program should go bankrupt fairly soon after that.

    That's why I say it's not up to white America. We can't fix diddly - but we can, and are, perpetuating the problem.

    Ok, here's what I do. Mostly, anyway. Angi.com is getting worse since it was sold. I go to Angi.com and find my contractor. it may take a few clicks to actually get to the list, then you can select reviews for the ones you are interested. No one under 4.6 stars, and the more reviews the better. I read the reviews and select a few I want to look at. Then I go to the local BBB website and look them up. They have complaints, years in business, whether they are BBB accredited or not and for how many years. I've never been disappointed in anyone I hired that way. The worst way is FB. This is when you discover that your neighbors are drooling idiots who wouldn't know a good contractor from a bad one. There are so many scam artists out there.

    I took Bupropion to help me quit smoking. It worked well, but it sure made me feel weird. The idea of taking it all the time isn't very appealing, however I guess people do for depression. It presumably beats the alternative feeling.

    Do municipalities used to get tax revenues from local TV/radio stations? Maybe there is an argument to tax Internet streaming services in that they provide like services in the municipalities much like local TV/radio stations.

    @George-K said in Medical Questionnaire: "Why did God make babies so cute?" "Because you'd kill them if they weren't." This is literally true, at least for values of God equal to evolution.

    @Catseye3 said in How to screw up your life - 101: I'm curious if the NFL will draft Carter in spite of this. Don't see why they wouldn't -- innocent til proven guilty -- but I don't know the NFL protocol for this kind of thing. That's why I referenced Collins.
