lol because... the barge

With zoom you can stare at a woman’s boobs when talking to her.

Not that I’d ever do that.

By what authority? This is just more Biden bullshit.

I have a girlfriend who had a 78 or so Pontiac Sunbird that you had to hoist the engine halfway out to change the back spark plugs. I also had to take the carb off every week or two to screw it back onto its mounting plate.

Does MFR know about this girlfriend and why do you let your mistress drive such an old classic car? Oh, did you mean "had"? 😀😛😛😀

The reason Utah can get away with this is interesting - it will make bugger all difference to who gets treated, and they can all feel great about themselves.

I never cease to be amazed at the crap being advertised on FB. Miracle cures for all sorts of things abound.

Yes, but...oh wait.

I guess misinformation is OK if you pay them.

Not to this batch, but I use it occasionally.

I'm about ¾ through the 4th season of Yellowstone. As I said before, it reminds me, a lot, of Dallas, Dynasty, and the others.

Except the people aren't as nice, LOL.

There's a lot of time setting up 6666, which, I suppose is OK. There are also "flashbacks" that set up 1883, which, I suppose is a bit less OK. Has nothing to do with the storyline.

As much of a guilty pleasure that Yellowstone is, I'm getting the feeling that the story has pretty much been run out. They're reaching for storylines that are a bit far-fetched (politics, really?).

This season seems to have a lot more gorgeous scenery than in the past, and Montana is wonderful.

Best scene? Jimmy at the 6666 ranch when he "helps" a stallion donate a semen specimen.

But, back to topic - I'll watch ANYTHING with Billy Bob Thornton (he's in 1883).

" focusing on ... sexual assault, hazing and racism."

They're teaching techniques now?

@doctor-phibes said in Hey George (and other James May fans):

Gin and tonic is pretty close to being the alcoholic equivalent of Douglas Adams' Babel fish, but I wouldn't drink regular London dry gin neat unless I was at least a bit desperate. Not that that ever happens, of course.

Some of the more unusually flavoured gins are delicious, but once you're paying more than $40 a bottle you might as well get whisky.

Did you watch the video? It makes people jump into the sea.

Sign me the hell up.

The facts behind the gorilla suit story

"In actual fact it was Mark’s identical twin brother Scott that wore the suit. And he didn’t exactly smuggle it aboard. It was sent as a care package to him by Mark (also an astronaut) who was down on Earth at the time.

The gorilla suit was sent up on a resupply mission while Scott was aboard the ISS for a year in space. And after climbing into a soft-side storage container that was checked by Tim Peake, the video subsequently shows the first Brit aboard the space station being chased around by Kelly in full monkey mode.

‘Needed a little humor to lighten up a #YearInSpace. Go big, or go home. I think I’ll do both. #SpaceApe,’ Kelly tweeted at the time."

He’s probably up to 12 or 13 wimminz by now.

@lufins-dad said in Hay Cats! Your AOC post of the day!:

It's already established that being "fully vaxxed" does not develop the antibodies needed to fight Omicron

Has it?

I'm very much against the dubious miracle claims about the efficacy of vaccines, but from what I understand, the available data suggest that the vaccines do very significantly reduce the risk for severe complications, including for Omicron, and do still reduce infections and transmission.

"Prevent", "stop", "work" etc. - these are the wrong words to discuss the vaccines. You need words that refer to a degree. Once we agree on that, we can discuss the degree and at what degrees the vaccines are useful or not.
