    A B2 must be deafening. I used to work on an industrial estate in Essex. Every now and then a big Chinook would slowly rumble over and we'd all go watch(first floor modern offices with loads of south facing glass). Probably from Lakenheath. Also got the odd jet, whoosh and its gone. Then one day there was a different rumble, grew to a thunderous noise. Avro Lancaster! That sound the old props make, directly overhead then suddenly in sight over the windows and very low on its way to a London display. I thought it was crashing, it was maybe only 200ft up. Why would it fly so low?

    said in Department of Education: I don’t think the DOE does what people here think it does. Over half the budget is federal student aid - Pell grants, federal loans, etc. You going to zero that out? Another 30% or so are grants to K-12. You going to zero that out? 5% supports career and vocational training. Are we going to zero that out? This will be like what he did to NAFTA. Basically rebrand it but leave it mostly unchanged. https://x.com/reason/status/2021056546268934351?s=20

    @Doctor-Phibes Who can forget Joseph of Arimathea's "Nothing but a J thang in ma' Garden, biatch!", and the uplifting rhythm's of Lil' Saul-Paul's "Straight Outta Tarsus"? That last one is, after all these years, still one hell of a Saturday night toe tapper. I think Mark Farner might have even done a cover of it back in the day.

    Our adaptability is why we are still around, especially in such numbers. Clever little primates, we are.

    Woodward and Bernstein had a large hand in turning me off journalism as a career, as it was my major. EVERYBODY in it wanted to bust the BIG SCANDAL. No one wanted to hone the craft of newswriting.

    I hope he wins but I doubt it. Rand Paul as well. Authentic conservatives, unlike the president.

    My wife asked me where I’d like to be buried. Apparently ‘balls deep in your sister’ wasn’t the answer she was looking for.

    said in Embassies of Bangkok: @Renauda said in Embassies of Bangkok: @taiwan_girl There is something written on that Tower sign in what certainly is Georgian script but what it means I don’t know. I’ve looked up the words republic, Georgia, embassy, and honorary consul. The latter looks closest but not identical: საპატიო კონსული Thanks! I just kind of look on the internet for the embassies/consulates and it sent me here for the Republic of Georgia. I went to the front desk to ask, but between my relatively poor Thai language skills and their non-existent skills in a language other than Thai, we really were not able to understand each other. I did try and explain that I was looking for the Republic of Georgia but I finally found the actual location of the Georgia consulate. I was in the wrong place before. [image: 1770609939478-img_2068-resized.jpg] [image: 1770609954483-img_2069-2.jpg] Here is the place where the consulate is at. It was closed so I was unable to go in there and talk to anybody.

    I wonder if some of the people in President Trumps circle go home at night and drink heavily! LOL
