"The patient demand his perfect hand back and I promised him that he will be able to grab things again." I'd like to see a video of how much of the original hand functionality was restored by the surgery. There's a very long spectrum between "able to grab a medium sized thing" and "performing brain surgery".

I didn't know Aqua's Sister was named Pollution...

@jolly said in Senators refuse to allow white people to get jobs with the government: He didn't refuse. He left office. Well I guess he refused (past tense), even as late as January 6th when he said he would never accept the election results. But I guess he eventually did.

I went to an outdoor wedding and reception last Saturday in Coonassland. Had fun.

Exactly. Where do think most voters are getting their info? The media is the root of most societal ills these days, IMO.

We should be appalled by something Either not enough restrictions on the hockey game Or too much on schools

@copper said in Prince Harry gets a job: He has no hope of anything like fair treatment. Maybe he will just fade away. Not if the British press have anything to do with it.

It is. I don't agree with or like some of the things Andy posts, but I don't stalk him nor try to convince people he shouldn't be here.

@jolly said in 80,000,000: @lufins-dad said in 80,000,000: @Jolly a couple of points 80,000,000 (actually 87,000,000) didn’t vote for that guy because they never saw that guy. The NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, et al made sure that nobody ever saw that guy At any rate, I can easily believe that 87,000,000 voted against the other guy. I believe the election was rigged, but not in the way that you do. I believe it was rigged by a morally bankrupt media over 4 long years. I believe it was rigged by a couple of Republican State Legislatures not standing up and using their powers last May/June. Well, now that stuff like the video is trickling out, will there be buyer's remorse? Surely you understand TDS better than that. No, there is no buyer's remorse, and there never could be, within the minds of TDS sufferers. Maybe a few middle of the roaders might reconsider in retrospect, especially if their taxes go up, their 401ks go down, and "racism" is a bigger problem than ever.

Copying and using...

Or even better, "Leave the naked pictures and go away".

@taiwan_girl said in "Overtly Satanic, but tastefully so.": The basis for the Taliban was religion. If I recall, "Talib" meant "scholar" or "student," particularly with respect to religion. "Taliban" is the association of such scholars.

How about no treatment vs the other drug?

@aqua-letifer said in "Death and Lockdowns": @jolly said in "Death and Lockdowns": Again, what would another President have done differently? Not rhetoric, but action. For presidents, rhetoric matters, especially during a global pandemic. Rhetoric is what got Trump elected. It's also what got him impeached. Rhetoric is cheap. Actions are golden.

@george-k said in These car dealers are pretty slick: @klaus said in These car dealers are pretty slick: In Germany, it's considered "high tech" if we send each other fax I'm reminded of @jon-nyc comments: Person on the phone: "Can you fax that over to me please?" Jon: "I'm sorry, I can't. I don't have fax where I am." Person on the phone: "I see, where is that?" Jon: "The twenty-first century." Ah, but I used to fax stuff all the time from my phone...

@lufins-dad said in "My car didn't meet their high standards": It’s a scam between the towing company and the management of the apartment complex. They get a little kickback from the the tow company. Likely under the table. Say $15-$20 per car... $50 a night? Maybe $20K a year? In 95 million years, they could even pay for Biden's $1.9T bill.

@horace said in Talent: they keep those their chosen pop stars relevant by paying a couple hundred dollars to watch their geriatric concerts. I watched Frank Sinatra do his show at the Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston, MI (near Detroit) in 1978, awesome.

@taiwan_girl said in The Kraken is Backtrackin’: They may be a good speaker, etc but that is not the same thing as smart. I think that is true of politicians, for example our current VP, future POTUS. But I think to climb to the top of that industry takes some intelligence. Of course there are exceptions. One that comes to mind is the lady who sat next to Wolf and rolled her eyes and giggled every time anyone said "Sarah Palin". Somehow the director caught this discrete move on camera with a closeup every time.

While crossing the James River this AM on the James River Bridge heading to Costco in Newport News, the drawbridge was open. This is a big bridge, about 5 miles long. While waiting for the drawbridge I could see 3 aircraft carriers. The Enterprise CVN 65 is in dry dock just left of center under the huge blue crane. Known as the big "E" this carrier was decommissioned 6 or 7 years ago, since then they have been trying to figure out how to take apart a nuclear carrier. That dry dock is where they build all the carriers, so if it is on that prime real estate they must finally be doing something. You can see the big "E" painted on the tower. To the right of that under the next big blue crane is , I believe, the Kennedy CVN 78, the newest of the Ford class. Next to that, just at the right edge appears to be a carrier tower covered with scaffolding. I couldn't quite see it. The Ford has been in and out of port, but is, I think, off the coast now. I think this stuff is cool.  You can just make out the big "E" 

Woke virtue signaling is so easily monetized. Scams in 3... 2... 1...
