@mik said in Yes, he can be funny...: own very well. Washington, DC? I am a donor to and have worked closely with his High School (Duke Ellington School of the Arts). It's an incredible performing arts school with very talented faculty. They recently rebuilt their historic school and are planning a very special event around naming the performance hall after Dave Chappelle. Here is the letter I recently received about the event. Thank you again for your support of Duke Ellington School of the Arts. The theatre naming event honoring our most distinguished alumnus, Dave Chappelle, has been rescheduled for April 22, 2022. It’s been a busy year for Chappelle. He is currently traveling nationally and internationally, performing stand-up, and promoting his film projects, all while remaining committed to the school he calls home. This summer, Chappelle’s Pilot Boy Productions premiered an uplifting, yet-to-be-titled independent documentary that chronicles how Chappelle helped his small Ohio town deal with the fear and economic devastation of COVID-19, the horror of George Floyd's murder, and America's reckoning with deadly racism during the first summer of the pandemic. In October, Netflix released Chappelle’s stand-up special The Closer, which juxtaposes discrimination against Black Americans with that against non-Black members of the LGBTQ+ community. As the most watched comedy special in Netflix’s history, The Closer has garnered a 96% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes while sparking a national debate around race, gender and “cancel culture.” As a learning institution that champions inclusivity, diversity, equity, and belonging, we decided to take this time, using Chappelle’s latest works as the impetus, to expand our Social Studies curriculum to include content related to political activism, civic engagement, arts activism, and the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. Our objective is to uplift conversations around artistic freedom and artistic responsibility. We are extremely grateful for your sponsorship and look forward to your continued support.

I really think it goes hand in hand with Obama and HRC and all the talk of deplorable, bible and gun clingers, etc...

Good list. I cannot think of a single tech thing to ask for for Christmas. I'm very difficult to buy for because I have pretty much everything I want that I can afford.

I'm ignorant...What about the pill vs. variants?

Like Donny not paying Rudy all over again. The name of the defendant is ironic in this case.

@copper said in The Alzheimer's blood test: I want to know. If nothing else, it might motivate me to finish the will and trust. Did your résumé say "work well under pressure"?

Well, the problem these days is: speed isn't speed. A CPU that is fast at doing one thing may be slow at doing another. It also depends a lot on how well the programmers and compiler writers optimize their programs for a particular kind of CPU.

I'm not at all opposed to them coming to work. I am opposed to them coming illegally. What say we take all the TSA workers from the airports and put them on this? When was the last time TSA found anything of note, any serious treat to aviation safety?

Helps if you have a cool motorcycle... Link to video

I think she already did.

You might like Nate Bargatze, George. He has at least one special on Netflix, maybe more. If he has more, I recommend earlier first.

Thailand is opening up more. International vaccinated visitors (from certain countries - US included) are allowed to enter without having 14 day quarantine. On the other side, Shenyang, in NE China requires a 56 day quarantine for all international arrivals to the city (28 day in a hotel and 28 days at home)!!!

@jon-nyc said in Drunk Drive Sensors To Be Required in US Cars: I'm going to market little cans of compressed breath with a mouth shaped top for drunks to use to get around the breathalyzer. I was reading one time where a guy who had been convicted of drunk driving and had a sensor installed in his car used his young daughter to blow into the device when he was technically too drunk to drive.
