Worked with a nurse that had two shelties she used as hospital therapy dogs. The sheltie grin is ubiquitous in the breed. You can't help but smile, when a sheltie smiles at you.

He's not the only one predicting a large recession.

@89th and the F-22 was cancelled after 187 were built and delivered. The USAF had originally planned to buy a total of 750 ATFs. In 2009, the program was cut to 187 operational aircraft due to high costs, a lack of air-to-air missions due to the focus on counterinsurgency operations at the time of production, a ban on exports, and development of the more affordable and versatile F-35,[N 1] with the last F-22 delivered in 2012.

I don't like it if people judge people by their membership in groups and not as individuals. I don't like it when the left does this, and I don't like it when Prager does it.

@Renauda said in While I'm down the Potter rabbit hole...: Our son was never interested in the Potter books so I never read any of them. He seemed to go from Diary of a Wimpy Kid to Dickens’ *Oliver Twist * in one move. His mother read Dickens in school and hated it. I read nothing by him although I’ve enjoyed BBC mini series on Dickens’ books. Kid is still reading Dickens. Says he wants to try Tolstoy next. I hope when he got in trouble you gave him the dickens.

@George-K HAHA!

Jon has volunteered to do the scrubbing.

@George-K I'm at the very itty-bitty bottom rung of understanding Japanese everything, but I would say that squares pattern is very un-Japanese. Maybe a fusion of West and East, but not purely Japanese. Anyone who believes I'm wrong, please speak up. I'd like to understand.

A performative parody of having a conscience.

I’ll never tell….

Pay up, deadbeats.

@George-K said in Megan plants foot firmly in mouth again: @Copper said in Megan plants foot firmly in mouth again: That sounds racist. Not only that, as a celeb she is a source of wisdom. She is a fount of wisdom! (Or something that rhymes with fount) Slant rhyme. The aʊn or ɒn sound is adjacent to, but not identical to ʌn.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Tea Time: If I drank what I wanted, I'd be dead already. Same.

@Klaus said in Trifonov: Most intense 4'33?: @George-K said in Trifonov: Most intense 4'33?: @Klaus said in Trifonov: Most intense 4'33?: I liked the dramatic pause at 3:30, shortly before the coda. Too much rubato in the coda for my taste. Maybe, but it still takes somebody like Trifonov to pull this off. Imagine what a mess this would be if an amateur like Jon would attempt to play this. That's not fair. He is asked for a perpetual encore after playing that one. Must be spectacular.
