    I would not have guessed that that is the most economical way to do that.

    Boy, we're lucky to have Klaus, the Wunderkind of TNCR if not the Western world. His 'wild guess' looks to be right on the money. But look here: You can go to this site and it will presto like magic test your IPv6 connectivity. DO THIS if you want to prepare against being hurled without warning into the outer darkness like I was. Carp, my dumb ass is showing again. If I list the addy for you to go to, I don't know if my IP number will show up in your box, or yours. I assume yours, because why would mine show to you? But the Internet is nefarious and evil. So Google 'Test your IPv6' and get to it that way, please.

    Interesting theoretical question but he won’t be recalled anyway.

    Centurions would kick their asses. OK, how about we get a ton of sports people, and put them in this big arena, and they're allowed one weapon, but some of the weapons are booby-trapped and blow up unexpectedly, and then they have to run around in the woods, and there's genetically engineered wasps and shit, and then a couple of them would get amorous, which quite frankly is likely to be a bit disgusting with NFL and soccer players, and eventually one would make it all the way through and she'd shoot Donald Trump with a crossbow right in the middle of his SOTU address of his second term? That would be fucking great!

    My MIL was diagnosed with it maybe 10 years ago. I didn't believe it at the time and don't now. Her symptoms were all wrong. I'm not fond of neurologists by and large.

    Trimming the toe-tufts of a Maine Coon is a no-no. It's part of the breed and part of the attraction. It doesn't really affect anything, but... They're there to act as snowshoes for the cat. Coons are, by nature, very gentle, despite their size. That said, when Boris goes for a grooming (about twice a year), they have to muzzle him, LOL.

    @lufins-dad said in FBI seized 'fully constructed' US Capitol Lego set: @loki said in FBI seized 'fully constructed' US Capitol Lego set: @george-k said in FBI seized 'fully constructed' US Capitol Lego set: In the twitter feed: Does that count as "attempted Lego construction"? Or "conspiracy to commit Lego construction"? Or "intent to commit conspiracy to attempt to construct with Legos"? It’s fun but at trial we will get to see the real stuff. Let’s bookmark this page to see what the reality is. In the same filing, feds noted that Morss had sketched out plans to form a militia in a notebook titled “Step by Step To Create Hometown Militia,” according to Business Insider. Some of the steps included “Ambush,” “Battle Drills” and “Formations.” Shhh… don’t look here, let’s talk about the lego set. Lucas had to plot out how to build a militia 4 years ago for history class. I've probably got notes on how to overthrow the government from an old role-playing game ten years ago. There's a decent chance that notebook is in my pile of crap. Quoted in preparation for my deposition.

    As I’ve said before until there is a plan b, the party will stay with plan a. It would be suicidal to 2022 if they were to do otherwise. So far Trump in the background is helping very much to maximize the House majority and is even helping put the Senate in play. The Senate for 2022 is a toss up at this time.

    @jolly said in Cholesterol: My wife worked with a lady who lived the ultimate healthy lifestyle. She watched her weight religiously, ate very little red meat, exercised daily and her husband shouldered most of the stress of everyday life (he was the minister of a large church). She died in her early seventies, about seven or eight years after her quad by-pass, from a MI. That 30% that’s genetic is what is sounds like took her. The 70% that is lifestyle related for healthy longevity is what you are gunning for.

    Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, don't leave me Look around, choose your own ground Long you live and high you fly Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run, rabbit, run Dig that hole, forget the sun When at last the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one Long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide Balanced on the biggest wave Race towards an early grave
