@Horace said in Will Queen Elizabeth survive the year?: I never thought and prayed about her. My bad. Don't feel guilty. You've got that suspiciously brown pond to think about.

@LuFins-Dad Any deets? At a bar by 3:50pm...

Apple Inc. says the new iPhone 14 will help women track and monitor their menstrual cycles better. Ain't that right, @Horace? I watched Apple Inc.'s recent "Apple Event" introducing the new series of Apple Watches and iPhones, and that's the first new function featured in the event -- an additional temperature sensor built into the series 8 Apple Watch that Apple Inc. uses in combination with a bunch of other sensors to better track the wearer's ovulation and menstrual cycles.

@Mik said in Jon, pay cash: What the hell good will that further intrusion on privacy do? It's just nibbling. By law, there is not a readily available database of 4473 forms. By doing this, NYC would have a very quick and searchable database of legally purchased firearms and ammunition. Makes them a lot easier to confiscate.

@Axtremus said in FB and the Gummint: @George-K said in FB and the Gummint: People have said that if a private company co-ordinates with the government (as is the case here), it is bound by 1st amendment restrictions Who are these people? Smart ones.

@Jolly But it does lend itself to a slippery slope argument, especially if resources become scarce. Ah yes, the slippery slope argument. That’s why North Americans up here wear ice cleats when they go out in winter. I bet one or two self professed experts here did not know that.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Steve Bannon charged with fraud over wall fundraising: @Jolly said in Steve Bannon charged with fraud over wall fundraising: Well, you certainly don't have as much common sense about the welfare of th nation. Actually, I think both sides are doing potentially irreparable damage. You make all kinds of excuses for what Trump has done and have been dismissive of his critics from the get-go. I am dismissive of many criticisms, because I believe they are A) ginned up by a biased media and B) rendered with bias. The best criticisms of Trump are by people who would criticize Biden for the same things.

@Klaus said in First Known Amputation: Drink a lot of whiskey to remove the pain, then use the remaining whiskey for desinfection. Better than nothing, to be sure, though I'm not sure how effective EtOH would be as a disinfectant, but better than nothing, of course.

@jon-nyc said in A rival to Botox: I was at a party last weekend and the hostess had gone a bit far with her lips. So many punchlines, so little time.
