    If you'd like all hardcovers, you can probably replace your paperbacks for less than $10 each. Condition will range from good to very good. Just do some searching at the website I linked. Or, being in Canada, you can read them electronically for free at The Faded Page.

    @Horace said in Injecting Stem Cells: It takes decades of practice to get this good at posting nonsense on the internet. And we're only about 3 years away from reaching the "plural" goal here at TNCR! Carry on!

    @Aqua-Letifer said in Hey Phibes: @Doctor-Phibes said in Hey Phibes: The guy behind this show was Armando Iannucci, who also wrote the movie The Death of Stalin, and created the show Veep. A lot of folks on the show I've seen elsewhere; seems many got their start with this show? It actually started as a radio show, which I loved, called On the Hour. They’re available on BBC Sounds and are pretty much the same show but for radio. Steve Coogan was quite well known in Manchester before then and had done voices for Spitting Image. His Paul Calf character is a pretty accurate representation of the student hating locals. I think I was a student there at the same time he was. Link to video

    Her lived experiences give her unique insights into how to run that city. Imagine how bad things would be if a white male had been running the show.

    I’d have to imagine land in places like Montana (and similar states) will continue to go up in value for the next century…

    @Doctor-Phibes said in How does the internet still suck?: @89th said in How does the internet still suck?: Clickbait/local ads at the bottom "His ex found his phone, what she did next will surprise you!" What really annoys me about those ads is that they almost always feature a very generously proportioned young lady, and yet, when you scroll down the increasingly banal list of things that happened to various people you don't care about, she is NOWHERE to be found. I bet you really searched hard, too!

How did you find out? It's part of Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia, originally built around the year 300. It's amazingly well preserved. Beautiful island view! I solved it searching the google. And yet you continue to bad-mouth the internet behind its back. Haha I am literally doing it inside the internet!

    @Klaus said in Dear So-and-So ...: If Ax refuses, I'd be happy to help, Horace. However, to send you the $1000, I'd need you to send me a $50 Apple gift card, which I need for my bank to clear the transfer. Every time you spend $50 at the Apple store, I make $60 in apple stock. Joke's on you, scammer!

    @George-K said in "Record Breaking": @jon-nyc said in "Record Breaking": @George-K Where’s the McCarthy piece explaining that most of the inflation we’re seeing was inevitable regardless of what Biden did? Seems like people are being pretty selective about what they mindlessly credit or blame him for vs what gets loaded with pandemic caveats. His whole point was that Biden is being pretty mindlessly creative with his claims. X-axis, and all. What's funny is how people appear to be surprised by this, almost as if it's the first time it's happened.

    Indeed it became impossible to buy them and I was lucky to have already had a stash and also to have been an early purchaser once the pandemic did start.

    Interesting to see actual data about the hacking. But, what are they actually doing with that data?

    She had fun. No, this wasn't her main bunny, we just saw it at Ikea and had to get it also. Chocolate was good! Did not taste like pressure-treated wood pulp!
  • Kapernick says he 'be willing' to start back as backup QB in NFL

    @Mik said in Kapernick says he 'be willing' to start back as backup QB in NFL: He hasn't been in the NFL since 2017, and then only as a backup. He wasn't that good to begin with and he hasn't gotten any better. Add to that his lack of team spirit, placing his own desire to demonstrate above the good of his employer, and you have a train wreck. Which is what he is. Excellent analysis.
