@loki said in Foodie Question: Kind bars and Kirkland Nut Bars Loki, have you tried the Kirkland Cashew Clusters? Yum Yum. https://www.costco.com/kirkland-signature-cashew-clusters%2C-2-lbs.product.100333877.html

Leaving that stuff behind is probably buying some cooperation.

They farm, you eat.

excessive load of BS, more like it. Make me moderator, and I will purge all left-leaning posts. You won't have to worry about that anymore.

And the cat laughed and laughed and laughed….

@axtremus said in Orchestra cancels Zuckerman for "disrespect": it's entirely necessary and appropriate to let the public know that you will be changing a headline performer and changing the program of a concert that is open to the public The classy thing to do would have been to do so without explanation. Those involved will know the reasons and anyone with half a lick of sense, considering the live streaming. It profits no one anything to also turn it into a muckraking.

Guess which people are most impacted when there are not enough police? You can’t make this stuff up.

The old 8 mm of Klaus youth touched me this morning! Thanks for sharing.

@catseye3 said in How Social Networking Platforms Are Dealing with the Taliban: @axtremus said in How Social Networking Platforms Are Dealing with the Taliban: Who will adjudicate whether the Taliban is a “legitimate government”? [Shrug.] The UN? Is this a big concern of the Taliban? Nope. Not even for a nanosecond.

@george-k said in Pandemic IQ drop: @axtremus said in Pandemic IQ drop: 20 years before those born in the pandemic can vote 26th Amendment established the voting age at 18. So, at most 18 years, at least 17 years. Trump is easily still going to be President at that point. Just ask him.

I would love to spend some time in one of those simulators.

@george-k said in There's been talk...: Interesting. This is triage, basically. "Who's most likely to survive? Treat them." Pretty much my take on it too.

There’s a police charger up on auction right now. 5.7 L Hemi V8. 370 HP… Needs tie rods and some body work and a paint job to cover for where the police equipment was mounted. If it goes low enough, I might just go for it…

The Taliban are going door-to-door taking women and children. The people must mark their house with an “X” if they have a girl over 12 years old, so that the Taliban can take them. If they find a young girl and the house was not marked they will execute the entire family. If a married woman 25 years or older has been found, the Taliban promptly kill her husband, do whatever they want to her, and then sell her as a sex slave. Husbands and fathers have given their wives and daughters guns and told them that when the Taliban come, they can choose to kill them or kill themselves—it is their choice.
