Host your own videos, or find an alternative (e.g., look at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=alternative+video+hosting+sites+to+youtube&t=h_&ia=web )

Print your own newspaper, but you'll have to buy your own ink, which you have made. YOu'll also have to grow your own forest so you can get the pulp to make the paper you want to print it on.

Don't forget to set up your own distribution system...

I guess it takes a while to get off the Russia Russia Russia addiction, you know that country that is a gas station posing as a country.

Given its size I would say that if it is a gas station it is one hell of big truck stop with a convenience shop that sells an large assortment of firearms to whoever walks through the door.

@george-k said in CNN Doesn’t Understand Vaccines — or Math:

29 percent of vaccinated adults believe it is safe to travel

How many believe it is safe to travel in democrat-run cities after dark?

F-22s live at Langley AFB now - about 15 miles east of here. A pair of them flew about 1,500 feet above my head maybe 6 or 8 times while was golfing this AM.

When I used to practice landings I rarely got more than 2 miles from the field. 15 miles from the field is a wide traffic pattern, but they are moving a lot faster than I was.

I think they were practicing landing at Langley. I like watching those things, the sound is terrific.

@doctor-phibes said in Hydrogen-Powered:

a lot easier than air travel for moderate distances.

It's obvious that I'm a fan, particularly of long-haul travel.

But your point about moderate distances is the important one. Connecting downtown to downtown on a 300 mile link is easily doable, given the political will.

Even at a leisurely 60 mph, it's a 6 hour ride, allowing for stops on the way.

Can you get from downtown Chicago to, say, Cleveland, Louisville, or Des Moines in 6 hours? I'd be surprised. When we travel, we arrive an hour before departure, and we're aboard about 30 minutes after that.

Although I knew the KMT considered itself the legitimate government of China albeit in exile, I wasn't aware of those details.

Oh, I mentioned the rehab....

@george-k said in Oh, *now* you tell us that the election rules were broken.:

Laws are laws. It's really very simple.

If the state makes a requirement for how votes are cast, that is the job of the legislature. The legislature made that law in Wisconsin, and a judge, one judge, decided he can overrule a duly-enacted constitutional statute.

This is similar to what happened in Michigan. The Michigan SOS, unilaterally, made a decision about how votes are cast and counted. This is a usurpation of the job of the legislature, plain an simple.

If the populace doesn't like the laws, they should choose different lawmakers.

Judges have changed a lot, since the Warren Court laid the foundation for making law, instead of interpreting it.

Surely that has to be the Bee.....

Secure locations are never connected to a public infrastructure.
This would require physically infiltrating and attaching a hard point connection and waiting for the appropriate political moment to implement.

Just the day before Tehran announced the use of upgrades centrifuges as a bargaining chip in the possible upcoming talks on renewing the agreement with the west.

Ooops no more bargaining chip. Shit happens.

@jolly Ayup. That was my first thought, too. This does not bode well for him.

Why does this even have to be a religion thing?

Because that's about the only way she has to legally keep from bending the knee to the priests of Baal.

But that’s the thing... Her for hire services are shooting pictures and providing those pictures to her client. She does so.

Beyond that, her contract for hire probably has a clause giving her permission to publish any of these photos on her webpage with the clients s permission. That gives her sole discretion to chose which pictures she wants to publish. That’s her right as a business owner and is not a part of the services she was contracted to perform. She wasn’t hired to publish their pictures. End of story.

@doctor-phibes said in Jason and the Argonauts - smoothed out:

Something I noticed with my kids growing up was that when they were young, they were pretty much uninterested in, and oblivious of, the quality of special effects. They'd happily watch an old movie with crappy graphics, and even when I joked about them they'd tell me off for being negative.

Once they hit about 15-16, that all changed, and they'd laugh at the old movies for looking so cheesy.

A bit sad, really, but interesting in how they see entertainment before they've being 'educated' in how to think.

Ask them about an original Godzilla, you might be surprised.

What a crock...

Fuck that. I still listen to Motorhead and watched 48 Hours just a bit ago. The 80s will forever be 7 years ago.
