    I’d have to imagine land in places like Montana (and similar states) will continue to go up in value for the next century…

    Clickbait/local ads at the bottom "His ex found his phone, what she did next will surprise you!"

    What really annoys me about those ads is that they almost always feature a very generously proportioned young lady, and yet, when you scroll down the increasingly banal list of things that happened to various people you don't care about, she is NOWHERE to be found.

    I bet you really searched hard, too!

    I'd like to visit Croatia one day.

    Damn, I thought I made it nearly impossible to solve it without more hints. How did you find out?

    It's part of Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia, originally built around the year 300. It's amazingly well preserved.

    Beautiful island view! I solved it searching the google.

    And yet you continue to bad-mouth the internet behind its back.

    Haha I am literally doing it inside the internet!

    If Ax refuses, I'd be happy to help, Horace. However, to send you the $1000, I'd need you to send me a $50 Apple gift card, which I need for my bank to clear the transfer.

    Every time you spend $50 at the Apple store, I make $60 in apple stock. Joke's on you, scammer!

    @George-K

    Where’s the McCarthy piece explaining that most of the inflation we’re seeing was inevitable regardless of what Biden did?

    Seems like people are being pretty selective about what they mindlessly credit or blame him for vs what gets loaded with pandemic caveats.

    His whole point was that Biden is being pretty mindlessly creative with his claims. X-axis, and all.

    What's funny is how people appear to be surprised by this, almost as if it's the first time it's happened.

    Indeed it became impossible to buy them and I was lucky to have already had a stash and also to have been an early purchaser once the pandemic did start.

    Interesting to see actual data about the hacking.

    But, what are they actually doing with that data?

    She had fun. No, this wasn't her main bunny, we just saw it at Ikea and had to get it also. 😄

    Chocolate was good! Did not taste like pressure-treated wood pulp!

    @Mik said in Kapernick says he 'be willing' to start back as backup QB in NFL:

    He hasn't been in the NFL since 2017, and then only as a backup. He wasn't that good to begin with and he hasn't gotten any better. Add to that his lack of team spirit, placing his own desire to demonstrate above the good of his employer, and you have a train wreck. Which is what he is.

    Excellent analysis.

    Looks like SurfShark has addressed the issue. I switched to them last year when NordVPN was asking too much for renewal.

    Yes, and yet you live where? Hmmmmmm???

    We don't get as much snoooow as you do, I think. But @Doctor-Phibes probably is the winner.

    We get a tad more than Brenda, I think. The thing about the snow here is that it all falls at once. Where we lived in Canada got more snow over the course of the year, and it lay on the ground for weeks, but we didn't typically get the big falls that required us to dig out. I'm guessing that is closer to Minesooota's situation.

    We can get 6 to 12 inches a few times each year. When it's more than 12, that's unusual and gets people all excited. 😄

    I hope so, and I wish he would post to us again.

    My grandmother saw him while he was on vacation. There were rumors he was in town, and she knows for a fact it was him. But she didn't go over to speak to him because she wanted to respect his privacy.

    Kind of a strange idea these days.

    (Then again, when I sized up Jake Gyllenhaal for a pair of bike shoes I found myself doing the same thing. Weird.)
