@george-k said in If this is true, we're f'ing brilliant!: Could this finally explain why that classmate who BS-ed their way through an exam often scored higher than those who actually studied? Maybe in a journalism or psychology exam.

All this ya-ya for third place. Anybody notice the lady that won, set a new record? Thought not...

I think it's kind if whimsical. As long as the building met code when it was built, fine by me...

A pretty damning indictment of Trump's behaviour after losing the election. It's also nice to see that Mitch McConnell provided such awe-inspiring leadership.

Our gardening is more like plant hospice

I'm sure the gentleman had paid for his $200 transfer stamp and undergone his FBI background check (not the regular NICS, you get an anal probing for a Class III weapon), before obtaining his legal automatic weapon....

@jolly said in Court Suspends Giuliani’s Law License: Nah, he screwed Trump, so lying to a court, ruining people's lives and sending an entire nation into turmoil is definitely worth a one year suspension, because Orange Man Bad. There are places in this country where, rightly or not, a felon does not have the right to vote. At least he can practice law.

Whoever gets him will have to retailor their offense. He's got better wheels than Eli or Peyton, but not near what his namesake had. Boy can flat throw a football, though. In terms of programs best suited to him, it's going to be LSU, Alabama, and Clemson. I give the edge to LSU and Alabama. Cooper works in New Orleans, and both of those schools would let him go to almost every game very easily.

@copper said in Stir/Shaken: Over the last few months I probably averaged 1-2 per weekday. The calls are for car warranty and Medicare add-ons mostly. I usually answer them and don't say anything, just to waste some of their time. I never answer under the theory that a validated answer just gets you on more lists but I’m not sure if that is true.

@jon-nyc said in How to *not* talk to a cop: I hope her husband beats her. Lol. She gives Karen a bad name.


@horace said in The other board: Please post this ad where any WTF refugees might see it: This is TNCR We're like Sparta, except we're shit and fat.

@aqua-letifer said in Hey Klaus: Any guesses as to how that might go? Yes. It would be a sligthly nuanced version of "he's a Nazi".

@jolly said in Grandpa Badfinger: if you want to, think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons. His handlers have had him say that illegally entering the unlocked and unguarded doors of the Capitol is sufficient to present a credible threat to the government. No F-15 required. Only a selfie stick.

Cut all monies except those needed to exist at a subsistence level and watch what happens. Americans would probably chase illegal immigrants down the street and beat them for the jobs they have now...

@jodi said in Birds bringing gifts: @george-k when that story came out (the one you posted) I was fascinated. But I feel for the neighbor too. Too many birds make a lot of mess, especially in a city. My neighbor across the street had to complain to the city, the guy behind her was feeding the pigeons, dumping piles of birdseed in his yard and they were all roosting on her roof and deck and fences. I'm taking notes.
