@Jolly said in Lebanon: Lot of Christians in Lebanon in those days. And in Syria. And in Egypt.

@jon-nyc said in Briefs vs. Oral: Two people who should never have close-up photos taken. Fanni gets worse as you scroll out…

@Mik said in Is there some non-obvious scam here?: Brushing. They send you products you didn’t order then write fake reviews in your name. I got a bottle of some sort of heart health nitro something or other. I think Mike is right.

In the comments: "Hey, that's where I go for deals on syringes and needles!"

By the way, I made the stock the day before. After making the roux yesterday, and adding the stock, it was "OK," but needed a little something more. So I did two things: I threw in a splash of rum (!) for some sweetness For more umami, I slowly added "Better than Bouillon" - ended up being about a teaspoon. That really worked well.

Oh ok a teacher’s recital. That’s cool.

I’ve read a lot of history from his era and he figures pretty large for a non-president.

But I would definitely expect him (Johnson) not to cooperate, as well as the other Johnson.

Here's a New York City story. There are certain people when they were out on the street, or standing somewhere that--in a crowd when you just randomly passed by, a light just SHOWN upon them. Harrison Ford was like that, on the other hand Paul Newman was just a short Jewish guy, Tom Curise has that, same with Tony Bennett. The best ever was Bill Clinton. In a crowd that guy just glowed in the dark.

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2020/12/22/why-cincinnati-called-queen-city/4007103001/ It's the real thing, From Henry Wadsworth Longfellows poem about Cincinnati "Catawba Wine" that we all love so well: The winds and the birds shall deliver To the Queen of the West, In her garlands dressed, On the banks of the Beautiful River. (This would be different from Longfellows poem: "Cowabunga Wine" about Bart Simpson's home town, Springfield.)

They can all build their own damned stadiums!

I think they need all the help they can get.

@Mik said in Atlanta: Grantano. Correct.

I'm not thrilled at Trump being re-elected, but it certainly brough to light the Democrats' moral bankruptcy. It's difficult to see how they ran with such a weak, terrible candidate - either one.

Fantastic, though potentially dangerous. Need to supervise when in use, and I ain't got time for dat shit.

I’ll listen at some point. The only thing that comes to mind is that some crypto currencies meet the definition of securities which limits their interaction with banks that aren’t broker-dealers. Or some of the crypto guys could have trouble passing a KYC test if they have too many shady customers, which many crypto exchanges do. I can’t imagine how that would extend to an individual though.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Do better, NYT: The modern version of the old lady complaining to the dictionary about all the rude words she looked up, or were they actually there as solutions? Not solutions. But remember they took ‘lynch’ out of the valid word list for wordle. So I figured they would have purged those words

LD speaks sooth. Jon, you're a monster.
