    @Aqua-Letifer said in Who controls the past...: We went a few times just this year, so, 7 year difference. Funny thing: We tried to eat at the restaurant there, which has an entrance in the gift shop. The hostess informed us that although there were tables available—off-peak time and part of the season—only those with a reservation could use that entrance. We'd have to walk all the way around to the side entrance instead. I said, "so you're telling me there's a separate but equal entrance at the restaurant at Mt. Vernon? I'm pretty sure I just went on a tour telling me that kind of thing was no longer okay." I could've pushed it farther I guess but didn't. Wow. What the actual fuck? When I was there we just walked in and got a table. It was late morning of the day that I met you guys in Virginia. could use that entrance There's at least one snarky comment I could make about that kind of shit, but I won't, because I'm on my 2nd (cheap and large) Scotch of the night, and I don't want to cast aspersions on the Nobel Prize winner...

    @Mik I read it. The culture of the military will determine what is and what is not acceptable. As well, you can be rest assured there will be a lot left to an individual CO’s discretion as to how his or her regiment presents itself. Above all else, practical considerations and individual Regimental traditions will govern, not pop culture.

That's a pale imitation of the cat poo stuff, https://kopiluwakco.com/ Of course, my method is much cheaper, and I'd be willing to bet that the flavour is considerably more distinctive.

    Maybe that will be the start of a decrease in car prices, both used and new?

    Yes their programming has sufficiently diverged from the typical taxpayer. I mean the programming of the people who run it.

    @Copper Hope the two pilots were okay. Wonder how something like that could happen? Would have thought they would have checked disntaces, etc.

    @89th said in WiFI range extender?: Can you just reposition the main WiFi router? Repositioning the router is an option. But, I used to have it in the master main bedroom. But connectivity into the living room, whichis right below Bedroom 1 in the floorpan was a problem. It might be because we have metal studs in the walls, and it was a diagonal line to the living room. Moving the router to Bedroom 1 solved that. Exactly. It's really just for casual web browsing when I'm in bed. I assume George's main usage of the WiFi is not Ego shooters, or playing Minecraft, or watching uncompressed 4K movies, so bad latency or bandwidth may not be an issue and a range extender works well enough. Yup, simple web browsing and stuff when I'm in bed. If I need serious bandwidth, I'll go to bedroom 1, where that German pr0n streams beautifully.

    Might want to try your hand at them. They are good. I like Mexican vanilla in mine, if I can find it.
