    My, my. Saw this coming. Frankly, I don't see how the city can regulate the behavior of people outside the city limits. https://www.statenews.org/government-politics/2022-05-11/lawsuit-filed-against-an-ohio-city-over-its-local-abortion-ban?fbclid=IwAR284qrREJpcTlFy2_Lt8cAReXmNSRfX5_zb5-eQ4ejhO3HmnO0S2ejQz9s

    @Mik said in Wolftrap: For those not familiar, this is where The Princess is managing productions this summer. Link to video Pikers... Give us 12 years and we will drive those idiots out of business. Don't worry! We'll give The Princess a job. I actually was very disappointed in the concert I went to on Memorial Day Weekend. The Park Rangers running the bag check and metal detectors were abysmally slow. I arrived at 6:15 for an 8:00 show and got in at 8:20. The worst part? Other lines did not have as much of a problem and were moving quickly, but they wouldn't let you switch lines. It was all based on which parking lot you came in. We arrived at 6:15, among the earliest arrivals, but there was not a single inch of lawn space left by time we got past security and taking a 2-year-old into the Filene Center and sitting in the actual seats? That isn't going to happen... Leaving was worse. They don't have parking lots, just fields. Now pulling in, they had probably a dozen parking attendants per field directing cars and creating lanes for cars and the pedestrians. Leaving? 1 person at the end of each field trying to create opportunities for cars to join the mayhem in the next field. It was like Mad Max. I saw 2 fights break out from a fender bender and somebody almost hitting a pedestrian. I will remind you, this was 2 fights in one field leaving a frigging Marine Corps Concert Band performance. This wasn't people leaving Slayer... Thank goodness it hadn't rained.

    Hahah that is great! Reminds me of the chimp-like ape called a "bonobo" and their way of socially saying hello to a bonobo of the opposite gender (I'm being serious) is to go up and quickly have intercourse for 1-2 seconds. It's called a "bonobo handshake". I guess it's also called a Date with Jon's Sister.

    I wish. Riff-tracking off the most pompous piece of political bullshit since the McCarthy Hearings. Shucks, that dais with the big screen behind it reminded me of Apple's 1984 commercial. It's ripe for ridicule and parody. Just think of all the fun that could be, with the silhouettes of Fox's evening lineup cracking goofball jokes and cutting satire. Add in Laura and it could be The Four Horseman...

    @Horace said in AWS training: Today I had an all-day online training for Amazon Web Services. @Klaus, if you need any help with the forum and cloud storage, please ask someone else because I paid no attention whatsoever. But the guy who gave the training is an author of science fiction books. I wonder if he's familiar to anybody here. Probably not. I guess he's not hugely successful, considering his side gig as an AWS trainer. https://www.amazon.com/Warren-Hammond/e/B001IXS1N6%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share I dunno, he's got more than a few titles under his belt there. I wouldn't knock him for having a day job—almost all writers do now. Only a few unicorns live completely off of their royalties.

    @Jolly said in Seattle to pay $500K for CHOP death: $500,000 ain't enough. The cops should be able to do their jobs. The mainstream did not have the cops' backs at the time. There may be a trickle of cooler heads now looking back and lamenting what happened, but only "tribal righties" at the time were coming out and saying that something should be done about that mob. The fact that the cops retreated, was all but taken as a triumph by the mainstream. Now all the tax payers are expected to pay for those mistakes. That's nice.

    @Axtremus said in Hay Cats! Your AOC post of the day!: @Catseye3 said in Hay Cats! Your AOC post of the day!: Can somebody explain the connection between the two paragraphs in her message? AOC was replying to a tweet accusing the House of doing prime time hearing for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot/insurrection but not for the supposedly rampant gun violence in Democratic-run cities. AOC’s reply rebuts on the point that gun violence is actually even more rampant in Republican-run cities, and chiding the tweet sender for having involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot/insurrection to the point of having to ask for Presidential pardon thereafter. In short, where the two points in AOC’s tweet may seem unrelated, they are both germane to tweet to which AOC’s tweet replies. Clear? No, you didn’t read it correctly.

    @George-K said in "What's charging the battery right now?": @Aqua-Letifer said in "What's charging the battery right now?": Thorium, man. Thorium. That's nuclear, right? Basically, yeah. But a very different kind. There'd be a mountain of problems I'm sure but toxic waste likely wouldn't be one of them.

    This is kinda a big deal on both fronts, the censorship issue AND the fact that the vaccine is failing that badly that quickly with kids. Vaxxed Tweens are more likely to get symptomatic cases than unvaxxed kids after a few months? That’s huge on multiple levels.
