Telemarketing sounds about right…

You can also get the Pros from Dover: [image: ?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsarcasmalley.com%2Fmpros.jpg&f=1&nofb=1] Yeah, that's in Hooker's book too.

Awesome video! I saw that earlier but only like a 20 second clip of it... was great to see the full length, including in nice HD. The shot of them holding hands into the cloud then releasing was also amazing.

When running for president about 12 years ago, Lyin' Joe said that it would take a year to get our troops out of Afghanistan. Leaving everything behind ("equipment that could be used against your grandkids and mine") could shorten that to 7 months. https://twitter.com/imUrB00gieman/status/1456310962642821137?s=20

That's a lot. I don't think I've ever bought more than ten at a time.

Spinning like a top.

Yeah. It should be interesting. Not sure you will want to put it on your lap.

@bachophile said in Tower Maintenance: This is also pretty fucked up. I had trouble watching this movie without feeling nauseous Link to video Man on Wire is a fantastic documentary about this, btw. Real footage (photographs).

Honestly I didn’t pay much attention outside the city. The other elections were small potatoes. GOP picked up a few city council seats, but they have a very small total number. I want to say <10 out of 51 seats.

Sounds like a reasonable law, so why does Justice have a beef with Texas? Other than politics, that is?

@axtremus said in And a child shall mislead them.: A 16 year old talking about himself/herself, not suicidal, it is harmless. Yes, talk is harmless, unless it's hate speech of course. Just let him/her be. But don't let ze/zer/xim/xer get inverted cross tattoos below their eyes. (see my comment above)

@klaus said in Speaking of video games: rather flip burgers or collect garbage than driving a truck. Yes, a lot of guys like to collect garbage But now it is mostly about driving the truck [image: tumblr_mu2x4epaNq1s02vreo1_r1_400.gif]

@george-k said in Long Covid is a bigger problem than was thought: @ivorythumper said in Long Covid is a bigger problem than was thought: Does that make any sense to you? Sure does. Prolonged inactivity in a supine position is not a good thing. Though I can't point to specific data, it makes sense the the ANS will recalibrate after a prolonged state in an unusual position. And, what Ax said as well. Plus this, from a Tulane study https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/long-covid-brain-fog/289-6dec3098-4208-4817-8cf3-9b38dd9a35bf

@klaus said in Music that Gives you Chills: @larry said in Music that Gives you Chills: @klaus said in Music that Gives you Chills: I doubt many people under 30 have ever heard of ZZ Top. And they'll likely be mostly forgotten in 50 years. But kids will still play "Für Elise" on their pianos or listen to it in a restaurant. Do you know why the Audio CD has a maximum play time of 74 minutes? Because the inventors wanted to fit an uninterrupted copy of Beethoven's 9th symphony on it. Do you know which musician was the one most closely responsible for working with Sony and making the Audio CD a success? The conductor Herbert von Karajan. I know what our real problem is here, klaus.., you're a little snob. You know what your problem is? An inferiority complex that manifests itself in aggression as a defense mechanism. Just for the record, you were the agressor. I hadn't said shit to you or about you. This isnt the first time you've tried to start shit with me. And each time youve tried to start shit with me, two things happen - 1. You prove that you do it because you have a superiority complex, and 2. I hand you your ass.
