@mik said in I'll bet a lot of people are getting nervous today: The best thing to come out of this would be to knock the Trumps and Clintons out of 24. The more I think about that, the more sense it makes.

Dogs can get COVID. Mighty nice of her to expose the pooch...

Putin's credentials as a fighter are not so clear, but if they are not fake, he might be able to kick some serious ass. Putin has been practicing judo since he was 11 years old,[558] before switching to sambo at the age of fourteen.[559] He won competitions in both sports in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). He was awarded eighth dan of the black belt in 2012, becoming the first Russian to achieve the status.[560] Putin also practises karate.[561] He co-authored a book entitled Judo with Vladimir Putin in Russian, and Judo: History, Theory, Practice in English (2004).[562] Benjamin Wittes, a black belt in taekwondo and aikido and editor of Lawfare, has disputed Putin's martial arts skills, stating that there is no video evidence of Putin displaying any real noteworthy judo skills

@jolly said in Maple Syrup: Yes, for those of unrefined palate. Conventional wisdom these days says refined sugar is not as healthy; unrefined is better.

@aqua-letifer said in Our beloved Apple: Was definitely on my list of folks I wanted to meet. +1 She certainly was lovable wasn't she? Honestly, every once in a while, when I see a stack of red delicious, I think of her.

The good news is in the civil war all I will need to do is yell “I was bit by a bat!” and sneeze. My enemies will all run away.

@doctor-phibes said in DirecTV drops OAN: From what I've seen, OAN is a massive pile of crap. Never seen anything on OAN. The idea that they're providing balance against the MSM is laughable. Has Rachel Maddow retracted her conspiracy theory, by the way? Has VP Harris gotten the "Trump Vaccine?" What about MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid? Just wondering.

It runs s faster because it doesn't have to drag that piano around with it...

When an 80 year old dies, a few years might be lost. When a 20 year old dies, decades are lost. So we should be measuring days, months or years lost.

Ugly, impractical. Just like the cars he makes.

I installed a Naivien tankless about ten years ago. I like it. However I also do all my own annual maintenance on it. Too expensive to have a plumber come out once a year to run vinegar through the system. Costs me $10.00 for vinegar plus a pump that paid for itself on the first system flush. Freed up a whole lot of space in the basement ( we had two sixty gallon tanks) and saved on the monthly gas bill.

I'm afraid they're going to need a bigger bottle of Pepto.

Outside of OSHA's purview. Was a good ruling.

@klaus said in Andrew Sullivan on Sex: Witches were burnt. Jews were killed for 2000 years because people believed silly things about them. Silly medical superstitutions killed millions. Of course, you're right, but those were societal things, and the medical superstitions were based on ignorance, because they followed the science - of the day (more bleeding!). This phenomenon seems to be based on feelings of the individual, not based on any science, or norm of society. I know I'm not being clear, but it's the best I can do...

Cute lad, isn't he?
