Happens all the time here in Porkopolis.

I spent some time in LA in 92 or 93 and there was a large (to me) homeless population in and around Santa Monica. I jogged along the beach in the morning and they were spread over a couple miles.

I do not think that China will try and invade Taiwan. If it happens, I think it will be a "blockade" to try and drive Taiwan down that way. Hopefully, China is paying attention to what is happening to Russia and their economy. I think it would be much more worse for China economically, especially if the West countries respond in the same way as they did for Ukraine.

@Axtremus Mandarin (or Taiwanese). They are slightly different but almost the same but available to hear by ear. (Dont know how to write it in English).

@Mik said in Curbing the use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: A solution in search of a problem. I agree. I dont think that it is as "strategic" as people think it is.

@Horace said in NBC's Almaguer largely vindicated: @jon-nyc said in NBC's Almaguer largely vindicated: Interesting. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1619471548406190082?s=46&t=OfcKHd5fFpkgPKsCH4XMqA What specifically would Elon apologize for? Oh yeah I remember he retweeted someone's elaborate gay-tryst-gone-wrong theory. Yes that retweet should be apologized for.

This was pretty good, but i doubt I'll ever love a Louis CK special like I loved his earlier ones. Not worth the money to watch the stream, if the special is going to be released soon anyway, as an edited recording of better performances. He had about 35k viewers on the stream last night, at $28 each. So, around a million in streaming revenue. I get the impression he needs and appreciates money these days more than he did before.

@jon-nyc said in 16,000,000: It would be fun if they sent out little notices notifying everyone their applications were approved Well, you got part of it right...

I think I would have preferred it in subtitles. I like to hear the language.

Sounds like work. I’m enjoying my part time consulting gig. Good to have to a look at problems and goals again, without impinging on my days much.

Good ones, Cats.

Doesn’t seem to bother THE Ohio State University one little bit.

@Axtremus said in House GOP's priorities ... what are they?: It seems they cannot govern. We'll never know what is behind that paywall.

@Mik said in Growing tomatoes under your solar panels...: Interesting, but how does one plant and harvest on a sustainable scale wit panels over top? Going to have to be something that is hand-picked. Or the solar panels will have to be easily portable and very durable.
