Amazing. Does this person make money doing that?

@brenda not at all… she’s a force of nature and he’s a very sweet guy.

@Renauda said in Green Onions:

Green Onions, a great early funk tune. Big hit for Booker T & the MGs. Based on a blues riff associated with Sonny Boy Williams’ tune Help Me

Here’s a cover version of Green Onions featuring the late, great Jon Lord and the Hoochie Coochie Men:

Ok...... THAT. Is how it's done.

Reminds me of a story....

An eccentric billionaire wanted a mural painted on his library wall, so he called in an artist. Describing what he wanted, the billionaire said, "I am a history buff, and I would like your interpretation of the last thing that went through Custer's mind before he died. I am going out of town on business for a week, and when I return I expect to see it completed."

Upon his return, the billionaire went to the library to examine the finished work. To his surprise he found a painting of shit with a halo. Surrounding this were hundreds of Indians in various sexual positions. Furious, he called the artist in.

"What the hell is this?" screamed the billionaire.

"Why that's exactly what you asked for," said the artist smugly.

"No! I didn't ask for a mural of pornographic filth. I asked for an interpretation of Custer's last thoughts!"

"And there you have it," said the artist. "I call it, 'Holy shit , look at all those fucking Indians.'"

@Catseye3 This is my favorite time wasting app.

My 9 year old loves it too.

You can get it at the app store.

Never forget that millions and millions of American pop culturalites do in fact take Greta seriously. You don't have to go far to find them. That's the level of idiocy readily acceptable to the indoctrinated progressive mind.

How come there are Pop-tarts but no Mom-tarts?

Because of the pastryarchy

NICE! We have one nearby. I don't drink red wine much these days, but that's mainly because we have a 1 year old who doesn't believe in sleeping through the night so I need to have all my wits at midnight, and 2am, and 5am....when we're taking care of the kid.

You could always try giving him the wine

Well I try not to mix wine with liquor

Eisenhower had a portrait of Lee in the Oval Office.

He should have been canceled...

I found my ad blocker keeps most youtube ads away, which is nice. However when I watch youtube on my TV the ads are there.

We did subscribe to YouTube Music a few months ago since we listen to songs/music on our Google Home all the time, especially during dinner (and @LuFins-Dad you should know it's 90% Encanto or Moana songs), so it was nice to remove those ads between songs.

The Chinese guy we went camping with last summer grew up in the middle of nowhere in China where there was almost no schooling. He taught himself math, because he had a knack for it and it was the sort of subject that you need no materials for, just text books. Which he somehow procured for himself. He eventually got a PhD in math and now works for a major bank in this area. I can promise you he wouldn't have been able to do what he did without the sort of intelligence that happens to be testable.

'Intelligence' is a rather nebulous concept. Personally, I'd say somebody who is really good at maths is intelligent, but some people would say that it means nothing if he doesn't know how to breed pigs. It might be better to say this guy is really good at maths, and this other guy is good at breeding pigs.

Most of us probably equate intelligence with being good at stuff we respect, and not with stuff that we don't understand.

I think that there's natural aptitude, and then there's curiosity. Natural aptitude is something like fluid intelligence, which is highly overrated. Because a natural ability to pick things up means nothing if you don't actually try to pick anything up.

Curiosity, on the other hand, will always get you there. But the vast, vast majority of us would rather be socially acceptable than curious. And those two are almost always at odds.

I think the ability to work really hard is probably better than all of them. Something I've never had, except for short periods of time, when I go freaking nuts at something before inevitably losing motivation.

Gary Kasparov said that the question about whether talent or hard work was more important was missing the point, since the ability to work really hard is a talent.

I'd argue that you're never going to work really hard at something on any sustained level of enthusiasm unless you're really curious about it.
