@Jolly said in Interesting Funeral: Just another guy who lived a good life, had a great family and was able to laugh the week he died. Not a bad life. Not at all... Well written and your last couple of sentences is a good legacy for anyone to have

@Aqua-Letifer I think just me.

Better than television.

Wow almost forgot…watched the first 10 or so episodes of Fear of Walking Dead, but lost me after a bit. Was boring on the boat IIRC

@Larry As I said, it is cultural. Why do you think that people in Japan feel very very safe even though nobody carries a gun?

It would’ve been 6-7 liberal votes each decision. Instead now it’s 5-6 conservative votes. As Jolly said better err on the side of conservative when it comes to judicial rulings, IMO.

Congrats, Jon. Great news for the Alpha-1 Foundation too.

@Mik said in No sense of irony: Fighting is easy. Governing is hard. Easier to fight for one’s principles than to live up to them. One of my favorite aphorisms.

@jon-nyc said in This right here is why I hate federal funding.: That the government uses threats of revoking existing funding from private and state/municipal actors in order to push its political agenda is well established. You just haven’t been paying attention. If you had been paying attention to the conversation, you would know I haven’t claimed differently. But here we are.

@taiwan_girl said in The Caterpillar Crawls South: Is Miami safer than Chicago? EDIT: To answer my own question, Miami has a higher per capital gun violence than Chicago and Florida as a state has a higher per capita gun violence than Illinois. The guy that shoots you in Chicago will at least speak English, more or less.

@LuFins-Dad said in Thomas goes there...: @jon-nyc said in Thomas goes there...: @jon-nyc It’s worth mentioning that she quit talking that way once she got on the court Did you just tag yourself? Yeah. I’d hit me. Really though I was on the phone and it was easier to hit the reply to the last post (mine) then the general reply button which gets obscured sometimes.

@Mik said in Hey there, Rainman: Where’d he post? Haven’t seen it. He posted twice very briefly, just a few words expressing agreement or whatever. Said something very nice to Jon about his new chairmanship. Easy to miss.

@George-K You rock, Rooster! LOL.

Haha. Dreadnought holiday just got another follower

@Jolly said in Another Bleak Retirement Savings Survey: Many times, it takes money to make money. This!! I often think of the example. If someone has $1000 USD and gets a 10% return, he makes $100 USD If someone has $1,000,000 and gets a 5% return, he makes $50,000 USD And if that happens year after year..........

Cool stuff!!! Definitely got the moneys worth from this project!!
