Quiet. Did the family stuff yesterday...

@Jolly Although for the past 20 years or so, I almost always use my mitre saw for dimensional lumber there was a time that I too would have just wired up the guard and cut away and, as you have safely advised, paid appropriate attention to safety.

⅝" electrical conduit is also a very bad idea.

I would go with a pound of ground beef at most and add some beef ribs, cubed and off the bone but not boneless. Let that marrow flavor it. I appreciate the ground beef, but there is something about the texture of the beef ribs…

@Jolly said in Old Rockers: We have age bias, of course. But...I still enjoy classic rock and pop. I like the sounds of the late 1930's and 1940's, along with the jazz of the 1950's and early 60's. 2000 and earlier country is good. And when the mood strikes, I may just listen to classical all day. Too much of today's music is drek. Rap isn't music, it's something a foul-mouthed eight year-old can do. Hip-hop tends not to wear very well. Modern country is pop from twenty years ago, rearranged. Not to say there is no good music at all today. There is. I just think with the de-emphasis of children taking music lessons, the lessening of funding for school band programs, the withering of the live music scene and the transition of culture into consumers of life via electronic device, leaves us with less truly talented people interested in making music or even the less talented among us having the ability to recognize decent music when we hear it. That's not bias. Rick Beato has made plenty of videos that prove all of this.

Wow, that made my whole day.

More than 75 years! The next comment is about Bill Gates and George Soros and a planned pandemic. I’m a little surprised nobody has made the obvious connection and pointed out that Soros and Gates are in fact aliens.

I think if I owned Amazon, and I was criminally inclined, I might advise my politicians to defund the police. Those retail stores are competition.

@Mik said in The scary news thread: Can you imagine Buttegig or Harris facing Putin down? I could imagine Buttgig being face down with Putin...

@Jolly An acquaintance from university who eventually went to med school used to work summers at the Provincial Coroner’s Lab as a medical examiner’s assistant. I remember him saying the same about the stench of floaters and that they tended to fall apart when handled. My firemen friends said that month or more old corpses in apartments made for bad call outs as well. One said that as soon he would walk ten feet into a four or five storey walk-up, he could tell how bad it was going to be regardless of what floor the corpse lay.

Very! " The Senate and House Armed Services committees . . . each tell The War Zone that they want an explanation about the impact of no longer having the Carolyn Chouest's capabilities. While the Pentagon document does not mention the ship by name, the Carolyn Chouest “directly supports 335 days of uninterrupted availability” for Special Operations Command Pacific and Naval Special Warfare Command “operational requirements and mission planning,” according to U.S. Special Operations Command’s FY 22 Operation and Maintenance budget. But beyond that, little is known about the current capabilities of this mysterious ship . . . " How will they decide then? A handsome ship. I'd like to know more about its usefulness if any. This seems like a decision too important to be influenced by partisanship.

@brenda said in Bunny baking day: @LuFins-Dad said in Bunny baking day: How cute! Where did you get the pans? BTW, it's called the Bunny Cakelet pan by Nordicware. Sometimes it's advertised as the Baby Bunny Cake Pan. Several places sell these, so shop around for the best price. Just be sure to get the Nordicware brand. You will want the quality to get a good bake.

well....the TR is not a hard find, the obvious neck vein pulses, but to connect that to metastatic carcinoid or VIPoma??? themselves a super rare diagnoses (symptomatic carcinoid ive seen a maybe a few times, VIPoma, never, the rarest of neuroendocrine tumors), and just by looking at him say oh yes, an obvious neuroendocrine tumor....gimme a break, i dont believe it. could have easily guessed a million other things, and once in a while you guess right. augenblick my ass
