On January 23, 2020, the Doomsday Clock was moved further, to 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) before midnight, meaning that the Clock's status today is the closest to midnight since the Clock's start in 1947.

Yes, she is really good. It seems more like an Olympic event than music. How exactly do you score something like this. Would you have judges, like figure skating, that would allow for opinion, not just technical merit? Or would you simply use the slo-mo replay to she if she pushed all the right buttons at the right time? Would you have higher scores for keys way down at the ends of the keyboard? Would extra volume serve as a tie-breaker? Using all the pedals would certainly help.

@Rich said in McD’s prices: ... it’s best to use the app, as there's better deals, and he’s more likely to get the right order. This is true. Can also get free food items with the app. They make excellent unsweetened iced tea now, too. Skip the fries, have a sammich with veggies, drink the unsweetened iced tea. It may not be the most healthy, but it's not completely unhealthy either.

You people need to hew closer to the Horace investment strategy.

@George-K said in RNC to Trump - we might not pay your lawyers.: If you run for president, we stop paying your legal bills, Republican leaders who worry that Donald Trump could hurt their midterm chances by announcing a presidential run too soon..... Dont understand this. If the Republics think that President Trump is the greatest thing for them, then I would think they would want him to announce he is running for president. By saying that they are afraid he could hurt their chances in November seems to be saying something else

@Jolly said in I got yer electric vehicle right here.: Rumor is GM was the one who killed it. I've read several stories about how the auto industry, not only GM, was heavily invested in killing public transportation. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

@Axtremus said in This picture got me thinking: @Jolly said in This picture got me thinking: Candid vs. Posed. 1956, cameras were few and far in between. Subjects are seasoned public personalities very aware of being the focus of attention wherever they go and always had handlers/bodyguards around them. Never truly "candid". You can’t have it both ways. On one hand you say cameras and pictures of celebrities were rare and on the other you say celebrities were always prepared for photos…

@LuFins-Dad said in Secret Codes in a 1855 Newspaper: @Aqua-Letifer said in Secret Codes in a 1855 Newspaper: @LuFins-Dad said in Secret Codes in a 1855 Newspaper: @Aqua-Letifer is it “A 1885” or “An 1885”? If it's a date (eighteen eighty-five), "an." If it's a number (one thousand eight hundred eighty five), "a." Based on phonetics? The year eighteen eighty-five starts with the phonetic long A. The number one thousand phonetically starts with a W consonant sound? Yep! English doesn't have nearly as many phonetic rules as others—French has plenty—but this is one of them.

You guys have never ridden through/been to Mississippi. That makes Alabama look like the fucking Hamptons.

If you fly into a cloud you take a 180 degree turn and climb. Right now.

@jon-nyc said in This is very wrong...: @Jolly said in This is very wrong...: @jon-nyc said in This is very wrong...: Nothing that would replace their expected retirement earnings. Maybe not in NYC, not so much other places.... In FL they get a pension and retirement healthcare they would unlikely be able to match in the private sector Maybe not. But what about the public sector? Florida has about 245,000 public employees.

@Axtremus said in Why so slow?: I have been observing seemingly random slow-down on this website going back almost a year now. I still have not figure out what is causing it. Generally Democrats are to blame for annoying things. Have you looked into the possibility that it’s Democrats? Or are you too biased?

@George-K said in For Larry....: @mark get a Mac.... It still takes forever to load the pics, but you can smugly admire the stylish lines of your computer whilst it does so?

About the bear going around and looking at the backside of the mirror: I had a cat once who did that with a television! LOL.

I’m just glad it wasn’t Florida man this time.
