How many Brazilians does it take to pave a highway... Depends on how thin you mash them..... Ax says "how much is a brazillian?..... and did they pay their fair share in taxes?"

LD I'll be getting a TV for our basement later this year and will go for the OLED. Like @jon-nyc said, if you use something enough, IMO it's worth it to max it out. For 90% of the content out there, a QLED or whatever is more than terrific. But I plan for this to be my main sports/movie TV for at least the next decade so I'm going to go with the latest tech.

The backlash will come when they figure out there is no priv1lege at the end of the rainbow.

Free pipes for their crack. Let's give them free Cadillacs and a nice mansion in Malibu too.

Climate emergencies seem to come from mask wearers.

Fascinating. I grew up playing on Hopewell and Adena mounds.

Great story. Truly the greatest generation. When I worked in an auto parts store during college one of my co-workers was Wendell Stokes, who had been captured in France and taken back to a POW camp in Germany for over a year. Despite being a gregarious guy, he wouldn't talk too much about it - just snippets here and there. I could tell it was bad, but he didn't focus on that, but on the stuff they pulled on the guards. I miss that job and I especially miss Wendell.

@jolly During the first half of last year, Biden’s policies on COVID and the economy seemed right on target — and by summer his approval ratings reflected that. Who you gonna trust, this guy, or your own lyin' eyes?

His (poll) decline started even before the Afghanistan debacle.

Yep that’s why I ask. Say, Xenon.. anything to add?

@renauda said in Hay, model builders: Definitely a first rate builder and presenter. Museum quality completion. I have no experience beyond age 12 but that’s certainly how it appears to me.

Pffffttt, the author could not even bother to make a proper flowchart.

While people sit on their asses and whine about Trump a whole fucking year after he left office, the very swamp he was trying to drain is busy trying to take away your freedoms. It's a good thing I don't have kids in school today. I'd kill somebody.

Scammer.

@mik said in Greed: remote start With underground, indoor parking, I have no need for that any more. 15 years ago, I might have paid $96 a year for it.

@jolly said in MT researchers develop plastic that is light but stronger than steel: Plastisteel! Dead dinosaurs!

Make no mistake, I do not laugh at that. Not for a second.

We talked about a few days ago.

@brenda He curls with his school team and in a junior programme out of one the many private curling rinks in the city. Unlike organized hockey here, enrolment and participation into curling is inexpensive and the training always takes place at civilized times of the day. Curling rinks and clubs are located in urban and rural areas throughout the country. You never have to go far to find one.
