Good band. I can really picture them doing something like Prairie Home Companion in its heyday...

For some reason, I hadn't watched this until now. Very disturbing and human. As I was watching, listening to him talk about the man-to-man fighting, I was thinking about how today's conflicts have become, in a sense, like video games. He addresses the same point at the end of the interview, how bombs, and shooting at a distance are impersonal. Yet, when you stab another man in the heart and watch him die, blood coming from his mouth, it's quite a different thing. However, I recall reading some stories about drone "pilots" who have a similar reaction - though impersonal, that kind of warfare takes its toll as well.

Well no wonder there's a chicken shortage.

sad story

I am not sure that overrated is correct. I believe that the main point of school is teaching you how to think. Having been around people and worked with people with very little education, there is a bit of "how to think" that is missing. Some of these people are quite smart, but I believe that there is a limit to what they can do due to the lack of education - I think that because they only went to school for a short time, they are "lack" how to think and approach problems. Of course there are always exceptions, and there are certain jobs that they can do, and can do them very well. But there limit is much lower than someone who has finished school. And really, isn't training another word for education?

I had never see that picture before. I guess it is like the equivalent of owning an old picture negative, though like Horace, I am not sure I completely understand it either. But I am not sure why these would be so much more expensive.

We’ve had more than our share of hood rats. Hopefully Taylor will be tougher on them than Lewis was.

@xenon said in Remember Trump?: For myself - I just find that the last 4 years were exhausting (from a news perspective) and seem like a waste of attention. I think I’ll be permanently less tuned into politics - but that’s probably just a me thing and not generalizable. The news perspective was an all-out assault on a sitting President. What would be your opinion if all you had heard since Biden was elected was "China!, China!, China!" ?

Sounds like fun. I always liked being in the choir. Caroling was fun too.

After all this time, I should know better than to buy an entire "kit" with 50 connectors for $20. lol
