@Axtremus Yup. You are correct. I did say ten countries, but then only listed nine. LOL Edited the list to add Malaysia

@Axtremus Ax, it turns out the green grapes are $7 and red are $2-something. TMK the green are not organic.

I’m not liking that Russian tank’s chances, I gotta say.

Current Russian/Urkainian loss ratio is 4.11/1.

How long before I can do this with my iPhone?

Apple is too busy releasing a new 2022 iPhone with the brand new feature of coming in a green color

I use AccuWeather, but it's a website. I'm sure they have an app, but I've never installed it.

+1 I like their Minutecast feature.

This morning I am dressing for work… “Hey Siri, what’s today’s forecast?” “It’s currently 61 degrees. Today’s high will be 64 and will drop to the high 40’s by late afternoon.”

It’s 86 degrees right now…

Finley and I were at the park 46 minutes ago. I noticed a couple of drops. Check Accuweather Minutecast. “No Precipitation In Sight!” We keep playing… 5 minutes later we are hiding in a gazebo from a torrential downpour with lightning and thunder…

You need to stop setting Minneapolis as your current location, bro

Sure but what was your issue? You were trying to fund Luke’s 529 while he was in college? I can see why that’s not allowed. But what does that have to do with Finley?

Or were you trying to use just one 529 for them both thinking you’d switch beneficiaries at some point? You’re allowed to do that but then yeah you wouldn’t be able to fund for Finley while taking distributions for Luke.

MIL is 82. She had enough cooked Saturdag to feed a dozen people. And enough left over to feed them again.

The fun part is that they’re tarnishing their extreme prestige reputations with this shit.

These institutions have been knocked down several notches in my eyes, and I’m betting I’m not the only one.

You and Tucker Carlson.

Uhm, nobody saw him come out of the tomb. That was kind of a big deal…

Actually, Barnabus the Unlucky did see Jesus come out of the tomb, and ironically enough buzzkill is what JC did to him to keep him quiet.

Germs are different in England.

Presumably so is science.

@LuFins-Dad said in Easter Plans:

Ok, @Aqua-Letifer … We’re ready for the recap.

Well, friend, after a truly stupefyin’ day, we wrapped it up. Wandered down the trail, toward the sunset as the man would say. Things seemed to have worked out okay for the Highwayman in the end. He got his belly full and his pants cleaned, and I think that’s about as good as anyone could have hoped for. It was a shame about the dogs puking up so much chocolate, and no one never saw hide nor hair of the Bag of Goldfish. Some things just weren’t meant to be understood in this lifetime, I s’pose. But, I do happen to know that the parking situation got worked out, and if you can keep a secret, I went ahead and took care of that aged cheese. I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I have, and I’ll gladly see you next time.

Quiet.

Did the family stuff yesterday...

I feel better about Finley, now. Still would have preferred Amos…”I am that guy”…

@Jolly

Although for the past 20 years or so, I almost always use my mitre saw for dimensional lumber there was a time that I too would have just wired up the guard and cut away and, as you have safely advised, paid appropriate attention to safety.

⅝" electrical conduit is also a very bad idea.

I would go with a pound of ground beef at most and add some beef ribs, cubed and off the bone but not boneless. Let that marrow flavor it. I appreciate the ground beef, but there is something about the texture of the beef ribs…

@Jolly said in Old Rockers:

We have age bias, of course.

But...I still enjoy classic rock and pop. I like the sounds of the late 1930's and 1940's, along with the jazz of the 1950's and early 60's. 2000 and earlier country is good. And when the mood strikes, I may just listen to classical all day.

Too much of today's music is drek. Rap isn't music, it's something a foul-mouthed eight year-old can do. Hip-hop tends not to wear very well. Modern country is pop from twenty years ago, rearranged.

Not to say there is no good music at all today. There is. I just think with the de-emphasis of children taking music lessons, the lessening of funding for school band programs, the withering of the live music scene and the transition of culture into consumers of life via electronic device, leaves us with less truly talented people interested in making music or even the less talented among us having the ability to recognize decent music when we hear it.

That's not bias. Rick Beato has made plenty of videos that prove all of this.
