Nice looking floors.

@loki said in Just in time for Easter!: @doctor-phibes said in Just in time for Easter!: I think I'd rather be crucified, to be honest. I see why now: Peeps are sometimes jokingly described as "indestructible". In 1999 scientists at Emory University jokingly[20] performed experiments on batches of Peeps to see how easily they could be dissolved, burned or otherwise disintegrated, using such agents as cigarette smoke, boiling water and liquid nitrogen.[21] In addition to discussing whether Peeps migrate or evolve, they claimed that the eyes of the confectionery "wouldn't dissolve in anything".[22] One website claims that Peeps are insoluble in acetone, water, diluted sulfuric acid, and sodium hydroxide (the site also claims that the Peeps experimental subjects sign release forms).[23] Concentrated sulfuric acid seems to have effects similar to the expected effects of sulfuric acid on sugar.[24] They did something similar with various junk food items and some mold. They left them out for a week or two. Everything dissolved into an absolutely disgusting green goop, except for the McDonald's fries, which were essentially unchanged. There are some things even mold won't eat.

Unlike those 20th century guys Mr. Trump used 21st century methods And had a press conference every day

Oh well for her. She likely got caught up in the mob mentality. Sounds like a legal employment issue and will be adjudicated accordingly. Twitter is forever.

@doctor-phibes Right-o.

@loki said in A Dangerous Response: The real question is would he have deleted if it was an angry white male? And the answer is no.

That has to be a joke, right?????? Right???????

Remember - the Scottish economy is really struggling at the moment. Those small-business guys out in the highlands and islands really need your help.

@jolly said in Albanil: @aqua-letifer said in Albanil: @jolly said in Albanil: As for bricklayers, concrete finishers, roofers and the like, those are physically demanding jobs, but the money can be pretty good. It's a bit of a trap, though. A buddy of mine is some kind of specialist window installer. Money's good but a hernia and subsequent surgery put him out of work for about 2 weeks. Problem is, it'll be hard for him to change professions. My niece married a guy who did that. He later started his own company in Florida and has done pretty durn well. Yeah, I hear that's what a lot of guys do. It can work out really well, but I've heard that for every 1 person who made that leap, there are 3 or 4 who failed at it. Mostly it's because running a business requires an entirely different set of skills that you gotta develop an aptitude for, or you'll sink. Seems a lot of folks don't know that going in.

Fist bump

And to also talk about shortages... I've already mentioned coffee. My sources tell me, another product will be bacon.

@friday said in Hey Aqua - pro marriage tip....: @aqua-letifer There's a lot of truth to what Cats is saying. I felt like you and the tree were having a nice conversation, and it made me happy to see it. Thanks for sharing it. +1 Tree and Man Have a Conversation That how I saw it. Very frame worthy, too.

I think Trump's America First position on trade is a more conservative position than the Free Trade position of Bush. Trump was for global trade, but not on terms that put Anerica at a competitive advantage. Trump was more conservative than Bush on border integrity, although Bush was much better than the bext guy up. As for state's rights, I think there is no better example than Trump's response to COVID. He could cajole, convince or criticize, but he didn't try to usurp authority from the states.

@mik said in My dance card is full: By the way, Ohio has opened up to 16 and up now. That is so great.

@mik said in Alan Turing on £50 note: Times change. Nice to honor him posthumously but it would have been nicer to treat him like a human being while alive. This is cynical, cheap showmanship. I don't know - he got a royal pardon in 2013, which seems very late. I think one of the problems at the time was that his wartime service was completely unknown, as it was still covered by the official secrets act. What was done to him by the British courts was of course barbaric. It puts the lie to the fact that being gay is a choice - who would choose to go through that? The good old days weren't that great for a lot of people.

Yeah, when I was a young guy, I wisely found a very competent young doc who was recommended to me. One of my MD friends said it was amazing that I was this doc's patient as he was the physician to a lot of VIPs in Chicago. I've now seen him for 35 years - but I know at some point I'm going to be left in the lurch when he retires. We share a passion for music and every visit is a discussion of music, performance, recordings, etc. Anytime I call, I am dealt with promptly. Part of the challenge of dealing with someone new will be making sure they actually listen and are responsive to what they're told.

Prosecute them to the fullest extent How else can we stop doofusses from taking selfies in the Capitol?
