Yup, nice work

There was a Clancy book where China invaded Russia, The Bear and the Dragon, which China called the 'Northern resource Zone'. Not far from the truth.

The stock market does fine as a hedge against inflation.

So, babies are killed for convenience and money. Got it.

Any ol' way they choose it...

@jon-nyc said in Hey, they can always learn to code...: Yeah I would use it on Trump or some rando we are discussing but I try not to use it for people here. Again, my apologies. It's not a problem. No apology necessary, but your apology is accepted.

He should have added “I mean, I should know, right????”

Binged through. Meh. It was OK. I'm glad that I'm retired and am not limited as to how much time I wasted on this. Should have been 4-5 episodes, and not had all the extraneous bullshit. And as @LuFins-Dad said, Elsa is SO ANNOYING! click to show Glad they killed her off. I guess it's been renewed for a 2nd season. I suppose I'll waste another Saturday (at 1.25 speed, skipping all the BS dialog) when it comes out. But geez...

@Mik said in The "Bosch" spinoff: Good. Can't wait. I would guess that you're gonna like some of the extended cast.

That was over a woman's right to choose.

Just watched E1. Agreed, it starts slow, but becomes pretty compelling. Critics hated it, but I expected that.

@jon-nyc said in Puzzle Time - Baby Frog: So the last croak gets our baby into the correct quadrant, and the next-to-last croak into the correct quadrant within that quadrant. That's a nice observation. The "going back in time" trick is neat. But my "going forward in time"/wavefront argument works, too.

@Catseye3 said in Hole-in-the-wall: @Jolly I did not know that. This is the first I've heard of it. Do you like it? I'm not sure how I feel about it, actually. I'd like to try it sometime. Several recipes for it on-line. It's mayo based, with some horseradish, lemon and a dab of mustard, plus a couple of other odds and ends. Kind of a sweet/hot thing going on. Try it as a dipping sauce for smoked meat or buffalo wings.

Better bet for a good future as compared to a surrender without publicity. Well played.
