Looks like SurfShark has addressed the issue. I switched to them last year when NordVPN was asking too much for renewal.

@Doctor-Phibes said in If you needed another reason to not move to Florida: @George-K said in If you needed another reason to not move to Florida: @brenda said in If you needed another reason to not move to Florida: Yes, and yet you live where? Hmmmmmm??? We don't get as much snoooow as you do, I think. But @Doctor-Phibes probably is the winner. We get a tad more than Brenda, I think. The thing about the snow here is that it all falls at once. Where we lived in Canada got more snow over the course of the year, and it lay on the ground for weeks, but we didn't typically get the big falls that required us to dig out. I'm guessing that is closer to Minesooota's situation. We can get 6 to 12 inches a few times each year. When it's more than 12, that's unusual and gets people all excited.

Clearly a George dad joke.

@Jolly said in What the hell is Goofy?: Wonder if he's still with us... I hope so, and I wish he would post to us again.

My grandmother saw him while he was on vacation. There were rumors he was in town, and she knows for a fact it was him. But she didn't go over to speak to him because she wanted to respect his privacy. Kind of a strange idea these days. (Then again, when I sized up Jake Gyllenhaal for a pair of bike shoes I found myself doing the same thing. Weird.)

@Mik said in If looks could kill...: Rigged. Rigged and deleted!

@jon-nyc Me, too. Three cheers to Jon, Mrs G and Me, the Unregenerates Three.

You Vollpfosten!

@Jolly I'll give him a pass on that one. I can see him just extending his hand in a non-specific way. Also, the Easter Bunny wasn't there to spirit him away.

Renauda knows a lot more about this than I do, but the average U.S. exploratory well is 7800 feet deep. A lot of the oil wells talked about in the article ain't near that deep. Not near. Now, how hot it is in these shallow wells, I don't have a clue. But I doubt it's enough for heat pumps at multiple households. Or electricity generation of much quantity at all. Secondly, who owns the rights on these wells? Mineral rights are a forty-acre square in Louisiana for a vertical well. What are geothermal rights? Lastly, many of the wells they are talking about are in sparsely populated areas or in hard to access areas. Wonder how well geothermal would work there? The electricity generated would have to be transmitted long distances for the most part.

Sure, it is obnoxious Unless Maybe he saw Ms. Omar and wanted to mess with her treasonous head In that case, it would be a great move

Probably because, A. Infowars does not have the footprint or influence of CNN. Except for the MSM ya-ya, the vast majority of Americans would not have heard Jones' opinions on this matter or much of anything else. B. Infowars, AFAIK, has nowhere near the deep pockets of CNN. The parents will have the satisfaction of bankrupting the company, but other than shutting Jones up on this subject, what did they accomplish? Nutters gotta nut, on either end of the political spectrum. He makes his living off of agitprop. He will continue to do so.

The alternative to seasons is sunshine and equatorial rainfall. Now, think how boring that would be...

@Doctor-Phibes Or flee in terror.

Cruise on in, I'm sure they'll be glad to see you! [image: OIP.T4OWONLazVv_DCWakHF1lgAAAA?w=208&h=177&c=7&r=0&o=5&dpr=1.5&pid=1.7]

I thought Enterprise had started to hit its stride when it was cancelled. Probably the only one of the more recent versions I thought had promise. And who doesn't like a hot Vulcan?

@Jolly said in Math homework in Missouri: Private. All my grandchildren except the youngest attend private schools, all Christian-based. It shows. I second this That's not to say that private schools don't have their own issues. It wasn't perfect, but I have no regrets sending my kids to private school.

@George-K To be honest I never realised he was in his 70s. For some reason I thought he was much younger.
