    Brava! Ms. Sabol's one performance is inspiring so many other great performances and no doubt also educating many music theory students and music geeks alike, not to mention also binging much fun and joy to the Internet.

    The appalling thing isn't really that he says it, although that's bad enough, but that Twitter etc. will do nothing.

    Hey, look at me, everybody, I'm giving a black guy a hard time!

    Amazon Prime has it? Looks like it.

    I'll convince hubby we should check it out. Thanks!

    @jon-nyc Good point, I guess I mean just to input the basic data into the computer. Leave away most of the information.

    Yes but you were a beneficiary of one of the more ubiquitous flaws.

    But certainly your point is valid. Different states did it differently.

    I am sure that the data is somewhere, but would be interesting to see a history of % of sales by EBT card over time.

    Her show's hurtful to children. I used to force them to watch it when they misbehaved, with a warning that if they kept up this racket then mummy and daddy might well end up there arguing about which one had to take care of them.

    @jolly said in $4.05:

    stacking rigs

    Not familiar with that expression, what does it mean?

    When drilling rigs (or platforms) are not being used, they are stored, hence the term stacking rigs.

    The other question is this:

    If she needs more hard drive space, and/or a new battery, the expenditure would be about $150 for battery and 256GB drive. Add $70 for a 512GB drive, so about $220.

    The computer sells for about $300 on eBay.

    So, a brand new one, with better spec, etc is $900 ($600 after selling the old one). Is it worth upgrading it for $220? I think not.

    @aqua-letifer said in Moderna ships SA variant specific modification to NIH:

    Where are they at with determining how the current vaccines prevent fatalities from the SA variant?

    It’s quite possible we will be getting various booster shots for a long time. The drop in cases and deaths suggests however the impact has been muted.

    Regardless the world is starting to open and nothing will stop that this time. The need for revenue by state governments and businesses alone will prevent that.

    @jon-nyc said in Where can Americans travel right now?:

    I get that. Cruises are always quoted that way.

    Amtrak has an interesting way of pricing travel.

    You book the "basic fare" for each person. Basically, you're booking a coach fare.

    Say, two people from Chicago to New Orleans - about $150 each, for a total of $300.

    Then, they add the "accommodation charge" if you're booking a sleeper. For a bedroom that's about $300. Total price $600.

    Now, if I were traveling alone, I'd pay $150 basic fare and $300 for the bedroom - total $450.

    We watched it. It had some good story lines - but the portrayal of the elder scientist/physician was annoying at times. I'd put in one star below The 100 which is another sci-fi themed show.

    Is 'self-absorbed asshole' considered an ideology?

    For some, It's an attitude, and for others, it's a lifestyle.

    And for a few, it's a calling.

    LOL, yes. Or even a shouting.

    Either they were clowns or illegal immigrants. I'm guessing clowns.
