Many voters are not going to take the time to be informed. I've never believed that every slobbering moron should have the franchise.

@mik said in Landing with near zero visibility: I've been on landings almost that sketchy. No fun. Also the ones where the wings are rocking or the plane is blowing right and left. The ones where the passengers applaud when they touch down. Been on one where the plane rocked from side to side, several of the overhead bin doors flew open scattering the luggage and the oxygen masks dropped. I didn't enjoy it.

I’m also surprised this works. I have a plugin hybrid, and when it’s charging the plug is locked and can’t be removed (even if the car itself is unlocked).

@mik said in Transporting Turkey: Put it in a big cooler, cover it with foil then top with towels. The gravy can be reheated at D4's but the turkey will still be warm, and probably better for the rest. Just make sure the pan is not hot enough to melt the plastic cooler. That will work. As an alternate...Use a styrofoam box (I prefer Beckman-Coulter), line with two layers of wax paper, wax side facing the inside of the box, with enough hanging out of the top to almost touch the floor on all four sides. Take the bird directly from the oven, place in the cooler, wrapping the excess wax paper around bird (paper side to bird, wax side towards lid). Put lid on, run a couple of pieces of tape to keep lid in place and do not remove lid- under penalty of death- until you're ready to carve and put on the table. Bird is good for two hours like that, no problem.

The Police should have better things to do.

It's one pound different (Amazon is a pound less), but even with that taken into consideration.... Petco: [image: 1635804694521-screen-shot-2021-11-01-at-5.08.17-pm-resized.png] Amazon: [image: 1635804704780-screen-shot-2021-11-01-at-5.09.51-pm.png]

Got to keep the narrative intact!

Fantastic!

@jolly Hell... she could have probably read the teleprompter better than Biden did.

A heroic exhibition of willingness to support constituents on both sides of the question.

@copper said in Skimplfation: Yes, that is pretty bad. I have taken my mother and babies into the Disney parks. There were times when they would have had real trouble getting from parking to the park without a tram. I believe the park to park trams are still running, it’s the parking lot trams that are the problem.

I wonder if this place can sue for stealing the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Institute_of_Science

In 1976 Cipolla actually published this theory in a book with this theory. He was a highly regarded economist and historian. The book is still or again, in print: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/639356/the-basic-laws-of-human-stupidity-by-carlo-m-cipolla/ A bit on the author: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_M._Cipolla

@mark said in How much RAM?: 16 is fine for what you do. If you intend to get into editing videos or large photos, go for 32. Agree.
