    @george-k said in Lung delivery: I'm not sure, other than proof of concept, they were trying to show, especially in a city like Toronto. I doubt they would trust a drone to fly a precious commodity like that cross-country. Exactly. They saved one minute. And risked losing an incredibly precious and scarce asset.

    I thought the Livia character did quite well, as did Junior. Silvio was a bit cartoonish, buy the original character was a bit that way anyway. In any event, they did not seem to know what story the wanted to tell and ended up telling none. Cash cow.

    @lufins-dad said in A letter to Biden re oil and gas production: Congressmen should not be signing their letters with their party affiliation and committee positions. I don't have a problem with committee positions, but I think you're right about party affiliation. Simply "Sam Graves, House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure" sends the right message, but doesn't look partisan. It also gives some weight to the letter, indicating it's not a bunch of random congress critters who are pissed.

    @mik said in Got to find something else to do.: U of Cincinnati has already demolished UCF 35-0 at halftime. They are ranked #3 in the country. Ohio State is only #6. Go to the Halloween Festival in Fairborn. It’s awesome!

    @jolly said in One down, more to go.: https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-update-school-board-member-resigns-from-position Not good news, IMO. This prevents the discovery aspects of the trial and it allows them to appoint a new member for the remainder of the term. If there was a recall, there would have been an election for the replacement.

    If we go by the last SC, more than enough evidence exists to appoint a SC.

    Well, if he's been available 24/7, he's certainly managed a cock-up of everything he is responsible for.

    @mik said in Hay Bach! The count was off....: Hence the count to account for every single item. And the problem is when the needle count is off. Everyone searches through everything trying to find that missing needle. The "6-0" needle referred to in the picture is a very small needle, about ⅜" in size, and the suture attached to it is used for fine delicate work, like sewing a vein graft onto a coronary artery (though I've seen 7-0 used - even smaller). Then there's the ophthalmologists who use 10-0 or 11-0. We used to have one of these around - it's like a broom, but it's magnetic so it can, supposedly, pick up a missing needle. [image: 1634383161662-930493_850x480-pad.jpg] I think I've only seen it work twice. Needles find their way into the strangest corners, etc. Garbage bags, light handles (as in this thread), and the most-overlooked place: stuck to the sole of someone's shoe.

    I looked at the chords for this song at ultimate guitar and holy crap! 16 distinct chords. Un fucking real. This will take a lot of practice. Switching between some of these chords in time and cleanly on the guitar, is damn difficult. Much easier on the piano. lol [image: 2021-10-15-22-38-16-1-MAKE-ME-SMILE-CHORDS-by-Chicago-Ultimate-Guitar-Com.png] [image: 2021-10-15-22-49-38-1-MAKE-ME-SMILE-CHORDS-by-Chicago-Ultimate-Guitar-Com.png]

    That's the way it works, unless the bill is vetoed and then the veto is overridden.
