Yay!!! Gald that you had a safe trip and it was a good enough place to want to return!!

@mik And then took it to the F100 line in 1961.

For that kind of money, you chaps could have a decent Formula 1 team.

@catseye3 said in Hey Brenda: That cat does have her act down pretty good, though. The upside-down head always wins.

@loki said in UBI experiments and results: The mayor lost re-election this past November. Lol Well, there's your control....

@george-k said in Hey, George.: This stuff? Yes, that's the one. I like it well enough. I'm not a good one for food reviews . . . I probably wouldn't buy it again. I don't like things made to taste like other things, that is, I like mustard to be mustard and Tabasco to be Tabasco. This mustard is a bit too Tabascoey for my taste. Plus, it leaves a bit of an afterburn on the tongue; not a big deal, but still.

@loki said in 5g in NYC: If it were faster than that what would be better for you? I was going to comment. I saw an article a while ago, saying that, for what most of us do (streaming, browsing, etc) we are paying for speeds we really don't need. I was perfectly content with speeds of 25 or so - everything worked, streaming was fine, except for that German pron, because, well, you know. Via cable, I'm at about 200, but I really don't notice a difference in day-to-day use from when I was at 25.

@jon-nyc said in "Spread 'em!": Not my kink. They don't care, it's theirs. LOL

@axtremus said in May the force be with your bbq: Do you have to pay Disney licensing fees to grill on these? No, they just own your house is all.

@copper said in Evolution of the Pepsi can: Mostly just (carbonated) water And of course whisky, without water Fixed it for me.

@rainman said in Writing well is inherently racist.: @aqua-letifer said in Writing well is inherently racist.: @jolly said in Writing well is inherently racist.: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/03/it_turns_out_that_writing_well_is_inherently_racist.html Don't even get me started. Yo Bro, dis de bro stand ina de thing: "(...we can confidently and reasonably believe that everything they say is pandering garbage. They assert these ridiculous theories, not because they believe them, but to increase interracial hostility, render minorities helpless and dependent on these powerful White people, destroy political opposition from White people who won't get with the leftist program, and maintain and increase their own political power." It does seem that the downtrodden believe their problems are someone else’s fault. At least that is the narrative. They are wrong.

TOTM.

@jon-nyc said in If I Ran the Zoo: No, they're just rebooting him as Bi-Curious George. ** Snort **

I’m more inclined to just throw all ideas into one list and let AI/machine learning categorize them.

@jon-nyc said in Depressing: story has a right-of-center narrative. Perhaps it's just my bias, but I didn't get that impression. The only scene where I thought it came close was at the Yale dinner, when someone made a "Redneck" comment, and Vance responded. Other than the "If you work at it hard, you might get somewhere" narrative, that is.

@jon-nyc said in Magat vermin in high places: Does anyone happen to know what’s the fewest number of molecules I can make a violin out of? This might help. [image: 1615032193477-5d6f8790-7c7d-4252-9a2c-d914e858e3e5-image.png]

I don't think it was technically flamenco. But, yeah, it was a lot of fun. Reminded me of the guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela.

@loki said in Near the top half of his class.: @taiwan_girl said in Near the top half of his class.: @doctor-phibes said in Near the top half of his class.: His mother didn't realise he wasn't going to graduate until his senior year, if you believe the article. It might not be the school that's the problem. Agree with this. From the article "She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted. " Why did not she take the responsibility to contact the school? Schools cannot (and should not) be the baby sitter for parents. Sad story all around. It is probably that he has no good future. His mother is obviously not real aware of things. And so the circle continues. Many of these children do not have a stable home and shuttled from relative to relative. They come to school hungry, tired and scared. Yep, and as they grow up, they think it is normal and do not know any different. So they repeat the same mistakes, probably not even knowing they are mistakes until it is too late.
