    @jon-nyc said in Everybody gets a trophy: I think that’s made up. Goebbels had more class than that. Apparently it's not. Didn't know that. He sent the medal in a package, though.

    Wow. I was there on opening day when umpire John McSherry dropped dead on the field. This story is wilder.

    I suspect his chairmanship will be declared over by his successor.

    The sauce is fantastic. Spicy and sweet. Will be great over rice.

    Maybe the Trump administration will discover some fraud within that community then use that to say that they violated some conditions about coming to or staying in Ohio to justify ICE-ing them, like what happened to the Somali community in Minnesota.

    SCOTUS really needs to pull it's finger out. What worries me is where said finger might be currently inserted.

    @Mik said in Stranger Things: I watched a couple episodes over Christmas. Meh. Reminds me of Lost vapid and spins and really goes nowhere. They had 3 years to get it right… I wonder if that was actually too long? They were reportedly still writing the last episode during filming. Maybe they had too many ideas and got indecisive?

    I feel like this should be a bigger news, they rolled out Artemis 2 to the launchpad this weekend, it’s cool that they use the same crawler I believe that was used during the Apollo missions. I believe the earliest possible lunch date is February 6, with other launch dates spanning throughout the spring.

    And yes I'll die on the hill that the Ossia Cadenza is MUCH better than the cheap Tocatta Cadenza.

    Personally I'm impressed that @moonbat is able to capture these thread that overlap with his area of expertise (e.g., scientific research) out of left field. No pun intended.

    You already can take a low interest loan out against your 401K for a home purchase, and the interest is paid back to you, and it happens before taxes are withdrawn. Beyond that, there are so many first time howler downpayment assistance options out there, that you would have to have to nothing in the way of a downpayment to have the downpayment be your obstacle.

    I remember him getting cucked while he was a politician, by an elderly female who called him out in some town hall. That probably stung. We talked about it here at the time.

    Those videos have been making the rounds in the youtube algo. Watched one myself a week ago, narrated by Brian Cox AI voice. I think mostly based on his actual writings. Yes, it makes sense, and I have no confidence that humans will ever be an interplanetary species.

    Yeah basically a return to the way it was in the 19th and early 20th century.
