@jon-nyc said in Defund the Police:

This isn’t new nor was it not predicted by me and many others. Google ‘Ferguson Effect’.

All true but it is certainly worth repeating. Never will see MSM highlighting it or justifying as necessary sacrifice.

Mention it to most liberals and watch their heads explode.

@Loki said in For George and bach:

How is this different from just about any social media info that is the way people learn and communicate? Lol

It's more accurate.

You could also offer pairings, such as cucumber water with the appetizers/salad, herbs for the main course, and citrus or mint water with dessert. They'll feel like they're at a fancy restaurant.

You can offer a couple options with each course, so they can choose.

It has been a bit difficult to navigate these waters with reasoned discussion.

Well the reasonable discussion is probably easier with your middle daughter. 😎

LOL she is almost apolitical though haha.

Even better. Seriously. People care about politics way too much. Rarely effects my life other than maybe tax rates, even then it’s just money.

I know it isn't him, but he has a strong resemblance to the elder Rockefeller.

Despite all your enjoyable photography, there has really only been one seriously good female chess player.

Not that anybody cares about that of course.

This is Tanya - she does the YouTube commentary on the current tournaments. She isn't the one seriously good one. Of course, I'm only watching because of Magnus.

Is there anyone who is really doing better without crushing their economy?

The EU

Stealing this!

Racism trumps covid

COVID don't care.

Cute!

Those comments would probably get me fired today.

One of my colleagues got called out for writing (as a discharge order): "AMF, YOYO."

@George-K said in The Wall:

Do you really think Joe Biden would have the audacity to spend time, money and resources to tear down some of the new wall?

Good question. Would he? That might depend on the feedback he gets from the general public. But either way the thing will be a thorn. Leave it up, one set of problems, tear it down, another set of problems.

Only 25% of the NHL players are from the US. Most of the league is European and Canadian.

Improvements...like what?

No more cinder block magic discussions. We have flown too close to the sun on that one. The barge is not a fan.

@Klaus said in Buy fractional shares of anything!:

Only fractional shares? What if I want to buy square root of 2 many shares? Or even Pi many shares?

sqrt(2)/1 is a fraction. so is pi/1.

Darn I was hoping for a forced participation feature!

@Axtremus said in Webpages these days...:

The cookie/privacy notice is driven by privacy laws ... EU enacted GDPR, California enacted CCPA. If you built a website, you might as well make your site GDPR and CCPA compliant for every visitor, including ones that may not hail from the EU or California.

And the options suck and are hard to interpret. Should have two options... track me is okay or don’t track me.
