@George-K said in Video essay about Hunter Biden: I may watch it later. However, I have a problem with so-called Psychologists analyzing people without having met them. ETA: If you want to be taken seriously, Doc, lose the Hawaiian shirt, 'mkay? He is careful to say that he 'is not diagnosing anybody in these videos'. In this particular video, he doesn't really verge on it. Consider this to be an essay by someone in the business of publishing his thoughts about stuff. The hawaiian shirt is his new thing. He wishes not to be taken as a stuck up academic or doctor. He does a good job of not being so, if you watch enough of his videos.

@taiwan_girl we’ve had great experiences with Airbnb too. Mrs Phibes does the research and without exception has found great places. Last month six of us stayed at one in Mund’s Park, Arizona and it was just wonderful.

@Catseye3 said in Today's Medical History: @George-K said in Today's Medical History: He also developed the "Bier Block," Shoot, that's nothing. Thousands do that all over this country every day. Drunkenness is established when the upper extremity becomes too anesthetized to lift the bier can. I saw what you did there.

@Jolly said in The Unicorn: @taiwan_girl said in The Unicorn: I remember reading a story/video about pianists who play when singers come in to audition. They give the pianist the song they want to sing, and expect the pianist to be able to do it right away. And they pretty much always do. The interesting thing was that pianists who are able to do that are usually very very good at crossword puzzles. My wife is very, very good at crossword puzzles. Interesting how the brain works. There must be some relationship in thinking between gifted piano players and gifted crossword puzzle workers

@Horace said in Sri Lanka unrest: This sort of real world example could be learned from. But alas, MMT experts are impervious to evidence, numbers, logic, and common sense. They do not learn.

@Renauda said in Florida Man Friday: ay, you’re not a Rangers fan are you? LOL. I'm a fanemy of a team that deserves it much more!

Very cool.

Sad that this is the current example of the person best thought to be the leader of the US. Ouch!

Funny how they are all starting straight up. Wonder what is going through their mind

Defund the police.

"Scromiting." You know, I just can't read the title of this thread without thinking of the Jim Carrey interview that @jon-nyc posted the other day.

I’m telling you, these old codgers can still swim!

@Axtremus said in Unclear on the concept.: @Aqua-Letifer said in Unclear on the concept.: Ride any lately? IIRC, my last bicycle ride was in last December. The bike had no hand-operated breaks. Instead it had this weird mechanism where to peddle slightly backwards to stop the bike. :man-shrugging: Bro that's a back stop and it's on every kid's bike. Do you mean December 1967?

@Axtremus said in lost car keys: Maybe you’d wish that Sen. Warren might support legislation that standardize car keys/fobs now? I wouldn't back that bitch in a Del Rio dog fight.

@jon-nyc said in She who would be president...: @Jolly said in She who would be president...: @jon-nyc said in She who would be president...: It’s hard to know what your specific claim is given your colorful metaphor. You mean none of them could happen? There was only the character and patriotism of a few people that stopped it from happening in 2020. Both of which are being purged from the Trump party. You mean they wouldn’t put an end to democracy in practice? Of course any of those examples would. You give me the power to decide which texas, PA, and FL country results are legit and I’ll deliver the President I want. You mean like the Dems flipped the Rove counties? I don’t understand your reference. I'm too lazy to look them up, but Rove has a short list of counties that are highly predictive of who wins the Presidential race. When he called it a night on the night of the election, Trump had won all but two of them. IIRC, it's the first time in the last half-century or so that has happened, where the winner of those counties was not elected President.. It's just another one of those things which just didn't quite pass the sniff test. There were several others. Which is why, if the Dems had any sense, they would bally-hoo election reform more than the GOP, instead of trying to let illegals vote. Clouded elections are no good for anybody.

Yes.

Exterior does not have to be kiln-dried lumber, so a pallet shingle wall would meet code. Wonder about the wood roof shingles? If not, and you had access to pallets, I've seen some very pretty floors made out of pallet wood.
