    You know, feed it all of my posts since 2005 and I bet an AI version of 89th would be pretty accurate!

    @Mik said in When you’ve lost NewsMax: We’ve been killing people we deemed threats with impunity for 25 years. The only difference here is it’s Trump. If this was a true ‘no quarter’ order it would be something that has not happened (from top down at least) since the Indian wars.

    @Tom-K So you PLAYED all your albums into some contraption and you have them all on some 21st century format? Yes an external hard drive connected to my home PC. A dozen or so years ago everybody was doing that. Unfortunately they are downloaded into iTunes as compressed MP3 files so that they can be played on iPods. Fine for low volume background music, or your car or, through your headphones when you are working out, but for serious home listening, no.

It also helps if they have a woolly coat.

    That makes just how many “greatest” con jobs he thinks there are out there deserving the superlative? Normally it is limited to one, but in Trump’s universe I guess there are a multitude.

    So a few notes so far through the process: The Good It’s been very simple. Paperwork took 3 minutes. I was told that they are typically more expensive than a dealer, but less than Carmax. I tried looking up similar miles and aged Genesis within 100 miles. I only found two less expensive. One was a 90 minute drive away and was a coupe version for $200 less, and the other was one of those shady shops that buy at auction and repair. CarMax, on the other hand, was about $2K more for similar cars. My mechanic told me this morning that while the inspection process isn’t full proof, he’s never seen a major issue, and the small stuff Carvana took care of easily… The Bad - I realized we had a commitment for my pickup time on Sunday, so I tried to shift it later in the afternoon. When I did that, all of the slots for the afternoon were already taken AND the system released my earlier reservation, making Monday my first option. I am trying to finagle a Sunday slot… While I’m not financing, I was surprised to see the rate offer. It was at 7.6. My credit score is top tier though it does have some usage issues with co-signing Luke’s loans. I read the bank they use is pretty high. I will definitely secure my own financing if buying something more expensive in the future. It looks like their extended warranty coverage through SilverRock has mixed reviews. At $80 per month, I might forego that…

    Oh this reminds me a bit too of that show Alone where contestants are dropped into a remote area of a forest and it's remarkable how fast they get lean and skinny when all they drink is water and all they eat is fish and maybe a rabbit or two.

    The silver lining is if the videos ever surface of D’Oh and his sheep friends he can laugh and call it a deep fake.
