The right wing press see left wing conspiracies everywhere. I think this is more down to shit happening, and Biden being clueless, TBH.

Agreed.

Also, I cringe when I hear Biden say "...but anyway..." in the middle of a speech. It means he has deviated from the script and realizes he's making it up as he goes, which doesn't have a good track record.

Both Biden and his predecessor did this a lot more than would be considered advisable. They end up sounding like a drunk uncle at a family gathering.

The jury in the Sussmann matter is a joke. Three Hillary donors as jurors. One other juror has connections to Sussmann's wife.

Far too incestuous within the Beltway.

@Mik said in Russian diplomat resigns:

Good sign.

Of course, but probably irrelevant unless others follow.

And he's in Switzerland, where it's easy to stay. Can you imagine him doing that if he were in Russia?

It’s a seamless transition between soccer and men taking their shirts off and frolicking with each other.

On the topic. Anyone know of a good way to digitize old family albums? They're in my parents' closet - like 10 of them. I'm very loathe to ship them somewhere.

I bought a Canon scanner for this exact purpose 10 years ago and used its built in software.

It was good in that you could put multiple pictures on the glass at once and it would automatically recognize them as separate photos and save them accordingly. You would start a scanning session with a name, say "Europe trip 1974" and it would title each picture file as that with a number appended - 001, 002, etc. And it would continue that naming convention for multiple scans, until you stopped it. I found I could do an entire photo album in 30-45m, with most of the time spent taking the photos out of the album and putting them back in.

Do not use a service as they won't preserve the ordering of the photos, in fact they re-order them by size. And many old photos only make sense in context of other photos around it. Example, a picture of a random house that you don't remember is worthless, but if it's between several photos of your great uncle and aunt, you figure out it's theirs. That contextual info gets lost if they are reordered.

I have a Epson V600 Photo scanner. It takes time to do the pictures or negatives, but does do a pretty good job of scanning. It came with something called SilverFast, which helps to "optimize" the mistakes in the photo or negative.

@George-K LOL! Mom is like, "Fine, drown yourself then, you aggravating little shit."

Kids will live up..or down…to what is expected of them.

Volatile enough that we called off the kitchen remodel. I’m going to paint the cabinets again and replace the hardware. The project was running from $25k now upwards of $40k. We can afford it, I just don’t think it is a good investment right now, with the possibility of real estate prices coming back down.

It's not really got much to do with national security, however there's absolutely nothing wrong with looking after American jobs.

Put the crack pipe down, dude.

Biden is sending you a new one in your mail kit.

LOL

It’s like a failed woody, but made of iron

Same thing that inspired you to be a dick?

Woke up one morning and thought that would be a good thing to do...

Jon would do her.

And still works out.

One of the NPR commentators referred to geese as "flying sacks of shit."

lol as if liberals can fly.

To improve posture when riding a horse, one of my instructors used to yell "tits up!" at me.

I heard it’s only the good-looking, witty ones.
