I saw this story yesterday. Speculation from the RWEC: Did China decide it doesn’t want any photo ops right now? If so, one would think they would have communicated that to Lavrov before he left. It seems more likely that Putin abruptly decided he needed Lavrov back in Moscow. And it must have been important business to justify canceling a trip to Russia’s one last meaningful ally mid-flight. Or, a third possibility: There’s a power struggle suddenly unfolding in the capital and Lavrov’s presence was urgently needed. Coincidentally, rumors are swirling that a top military official has been detained by the FSB: https://twitter.com/christogrozev/status/1504440205352349700?s=20&t=wNbNynn4I5b9VohkTdlcQg https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fura.news%2Fnews%2F1052539299

@Horace said in Chrome is Malware?: Without the invention of the wheel, we wouldn’t have pornhub. It really makes you think. That's not historically accurate. Pornhub was invented way earlier than the wheel.

When I know I'm going to be doing battle on the phone with weaker minds, I channel Clint Eastwood from El Camino. I've had some fun conversations.

I was watching that! Cinderella!

@Doctor-Phibes only then did you realize you were tipsy and talking to an owl.

@Larry said in Business Insider 2013: Putin is a Badass: @Doctor-Phibes said in Business Insider 2013: Putin is a Badass: I hate to think FIFYNNTTM OK, what particular act of Putin's qualifies him as a 'genius'? If, for example, we take as an example of 'genius' as Napoleon Bonaparte, what has Vladimir Putin done that would make him in any way comparable? Alternatively, feel free to just insult me again. I honestly don't mind.

All of which assumes the number is reasonably dependable. Fact not in evidence.

I see what you did there.

Satire of that quality makes you appreciate the Bee.

My paternal grandmother never varied her weekend menu. Ever. Not for forty years, that I know of. Friday supper- Fish, usually fried. If one if us gave her a pack of venison, she might substitute fried deer steak. Saturday supper- grilled hamburgers. Mawmaw don't cook on Saturday night, so it's grilled burgers on paper plates. Sunday dinner - Chicken. Fried, barbecue, baked, gumbo...Varied, but it was going to be chicken. Sunday supper was leftovers, because nobody cooks on Sunday nights.
