Those guys deserve a medal.

He could be my grandad. Probably not, but still....

@Axtremus said in Property Taxes?: Property owners factor in property taxes when setting rent. Of course. When I was a landlord, I did.

@jon-nyc said in Antivaxxer Magat invents….. vaccines.: It remains the case that he basically said ‘let’s not have a vaccine instead let’s have a vaccine’. The only out for him is if, as Horace suggested, he was being ironic. But I think his brand is more in-your-face than subtle and ironic. Actually, that was me referring to it as being ironic, but I would hardly call that subtle. It seems pretty heavy handed to me, but nobody else seems to see it that way.

I was aware of digitalis, just not the comparison to foxglove.

My ass. No, wait… your ass.

No kidding!

The only reason I see him getting such a parachute deal is maybe they don’t want to scare away future presidents? Seems very odd.

Canadian too.

The faster I go, the heavier the bloody thing gets. True, but you live longer. That’s kind of relative… Or do you live the same length of time, but your relatives die sooner? That’s heavy.

@jon-nyc said in Meanwhile, in San Francisco...: @taiwan_girl said in Meanwhile, in San Francisco...: The fact that certain races have different average IQs I disagree with this. I think it is more with upbringing and family involvement in education rather than any actual different in brain capacity between races. It’s an empirical question that has been shown in a variety of contexts. Note that the explanation for a difference in group averages could be anywhere on the spectrum of combinations of nature and nurture. So you can agree that the data are what they are and still attribute the observed difference to cultural practices. That explanation can be studied, but isn't, not in the "serious" mainstream, due to social retribution against the scientists. This is one of the woke things that may remain in perpetuity. Even if most or at least many of us can still understand overlapping distributions.

Is the guy colorblind btw? The color blue and red have been invented, does he know?

For some weird reason I've been getting a load of recommendations to watch videos about Liberace recently on YouTube. I hate to think what the algorithm is dredging up about me, and responding to this thread probably isn't going to help.

BTW we have no snow on the ground right now. It's depressing.

And slapped itself on the back for being clever.

@89th said in Celebrating Life: Overall a good idea. I can see how it might become "noise" though, if the church is large enough, you might be having a baby shower once a week. Also it could be tough on those women struggling with infertility, which is a higher percentage than most folks think. Just nit picking though. In general this makes sense for the reasons laid out in the article. In this case, the inclusion of infertile women is not germaine.
