    George KG

    Mrs. George is running a 2011 MacBook Air. Her current OS is Big Sur (Mac OS 11.6.1) and has had no problems afaik.

    However, she's at the end of the upgrade path. She won't be able to upgrade to Monterey (nor will I with my 2014 iMac).

    Oops, now that I read the article I see that is a primary point.

    Yep, five years ago. It's not like I've papered the board with stock picks, that was the one I called.

    I agree with your third point.

    I guess I would have to agree on the face of it. But I won’t see what the jury will. Don’t think they pass the reasonable person test.

    Reminds me of when Trump fired everyone on that business committee the day after they all resigned.

    I think you have it Klaus.

    FWIW todays hint wants you te realize that a single spider suffices if you can break the cycles.

    HINT: This puzzle is basically a chase on a graph. Show that if the graph were a tree (connected, but with no cycles), one spider would suffice to catch the ant.

    I want to be Dave Harland when I grow up. I'm serious.

    I'm pretty sure that guy grew up very close to where I'm from, and I know for sure that he went to college in my home town.

    I think there might be something in the water.

    What makes you think so?

    His affording of all due respect for authority.

    Also, his LinkedIn profile says he went to UCLAN, which is what we used to call Preston Poly.

    Gotcha.

    Well, he's hilarious, and I was serious about my life goals. I really wish he could've visited my past self for career day.

    You should move to Preston. Admittedly, it's a bit of a dump, but there are a lot of people like him there 😬

    You could be their king. At least, until they inevitably overthrew and executed you.

    @george-k said in American Thinker du jour - Vaccine Edition:

    My surgeon friend (whom I referenced in the "Truth is out there" thread, constantly refers to VAERS.

    I’ve repeatedly stated that VAERS was absolutely a horrible idea… Yes, I get that it has been around for decades, but this was the first time it was ever really relevant to country as a whole and you just knew the data was going to confuse the hell out of some people and manipulated by others.

    I suspect that in women’s prisons female pimps with pedigrees don’t fare well in the pecking order.

    Has anyone come across the answer to the question of what is being done with these torn-down statues?

    Our house is freaking filled with shelving and storage containers, and the rest of it is covered in clutter.

    I am hoping to avoid this but know it's inevitable.

    I can’t find a suit that coordinates well with my mask.

    Dude they make those now. I think freaking Men's Wearhouse has 'em.

    I was half joking last year about producing a line of coordinated ties, pocket kerchief, and masks…

    I just have my gmail since (whenever I started). I do search it at times to find an old purchase or email address, otherwise it might be cathartic to just purge it all, man!
