I think it's a good idea.

Finally!

Horowitz singled out Auten for cutting a number of corners in the verification process and even allowing information he knew to be incorrect slip into warrant affidavits and mislead the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court.

Happiness isn’t about where you are, it’s about where you want to be, and whether you feel you’re making progress to get there. Which means the secret to happiness is to be ambition free. But that’s boring.

@LuFins-Dad said in Ranked Voting: @Jolly said in Ranked Voting: Is this Alaska's last election with ranked voting? Why? Because Palin is a little behind in the special election? I don’t really get why they are bothering trying to fill the seat before the general midterm election in November anyway… It's not just Palin. Look at the mess with Murkowsky.

@LuFins-Dad said in This resonated with me.: Oh, so I should love others for selfish reasons? It is not possible to love anyone else more than you love yourself. So, yes.

Are they the most dysfunctional franchise in football?

Should be two fired pilots.

Olave will play Friday night at Green Bay. Andy Dalton will start. Might be worth watching the first quarter.

Very neat!

@taiwan_girl said in Want fries with that?: @89th said in Want fries with that?: That employee had multiple arrests for aggravated assault in 2013, 2016, and 2019. Good background check, Wendy's. Hmmm, I am not sure if this should have disqualify him from a job. The alternative is him not having any job. Yes, this guy was a bad character, but if he did his sentence, then he should be able to work. One way to look at it is, it was obviously a bad choice to hire him because, well, look at what he did. Another would be, well, if he was unhireable then he definitely would have robbed somebody. At least with a job, he had a chance at not being a danger to others. Can't do much about crazy, but I think it's a bad idea generally to put people into a situation in which they have nothing left to lose.

Good-bye, possum.

Maybe she's nuts. That's pretty simple. There were certainly no shortage of nutjobs wandering about the Capitol. You're not too sane, yourself. I'm not the one with a small militia training in my laundry room. We won't know about that until we break your door in...

@89th said in The Terminal List: Pratt is one of those actors (for me) where I can never seem to remember his name. It's weird. Alzheimer's.

The link has a nice description of the Andrea Doria accident as well. The ship that collided with her is still sailing today, under a different name.
