@axtremus said in Paris fined for having too many women in senior positions: "City Of Paris Is Fined 90,000 Euros For Naming Too Many Women To Senior Positions" So. Many. Punchlines.

@jodi said in Canada Dry Bold: So far, Cock n Bull is my favorite - and the spiciest that I’ve tried. And I don’t like it when ginger beer is too sweet. I'm going to have to try and find that. The stuff I grew up with - Schweppes and Idris, was a lot less sweet than most of what's available in the US. I've discovered that mixing it half-and-half with a strong IPA makes a really delicious drink, and also means I can drink it out of 22 oz glasses, and so don't feel like a complete loser for watering it down due to my manly glass.

They seemed pretty useful in Kuwait and Iraq.

Nice piece. I wasn't aware that SNL pulled punches against Trump supporters. I'm glad to hear they did. Certainly that is not a test many leftists I observed online and in real life were able to pass. The class that chronicles America's divisions continuously underestimates how much of what polarizes us is also about them. Last year, a study found that those who read more news and post more about it online were more likely to disparage the other side than less engaged Americans. Unlike Republicans, the more education Democrats attained the less likely they were to correctly gauge the views of the other side. Democrats with a postgraduate degree were three times less accurate in describing Republican stances than Democrats who did not graduate high school. Democrats were also more likely to have like-minded friends. Half of liberal Democrats, compared to a third of conservative Republicans, also oppose a family member marrying someone of the other political tribe. I remember that study, I think we discussed it here. Again, it coincides with my observations online and in real life.

There's a gay comic named James Adomian who titled an album that way.

A superb performance. I've always liked Sokolov's playing, especially his live performance of the Chopin Preludes. One of the best I've ever heard. I have to admit liking Rubinstein's Rach 2 even though it might lack the passion of Sokolov's performance. I think it's because it was the very first LP I collected of this work. Recorded with Reiner and the Chicago SO.

Let's just be thankful that he didn't question whether he cheated in the election.

I would think, Спасибо.

I think maybe 2 out of 3 updates freeze like that on my Mac I'll give it a couple hours when it seems frozen, I have seen it un-freeze after an hour or more Then I just power it off and back on and it recovers. I figure at some point there is no other choice

Honestly I don't think we were speaking of liquid helium.

@jolly The notion did cross my mind but then I thought better of it.

Surgically trained, baby.

What is the definition of a religious person? Is it more actions, (the way you conduct yourself), or is it something you believe in.? Example, someone can say they believe in a God, but then go rob a bank. Or someone can say they don’t believe in God, but they live a really good life. I’m just curious as to what people think is a religious person. What is it that you're wanting to know - do you want to know God, or are you just interested in defining the word "religion"? I guess I was trying to answer the question in my mind: Can someone believes strongly in god but is a really bad person be considered religious? Can someone who does not believe in a god but who is a really good person be considered religious? Typically: 1 Yes. (Al Qaida) 2 No. (Moonbat) The religious are people who take seriously the mythology of old cults. Then how do you know you are a really good person? I use the leader of the free world as a benchmark.

Shortly after 9:20 a.m. on Monday, Ms. Lindsay, 52, 52? She doesn’t look it. Even though 52 is obviously very young.... lol

@jolly said in Vaccine credit: @doctor-phibes said in Vaccine credit: I think Trump does deserve some credit, but calling it 'The Trump vaccine' is ignoring a lot of other people who deserve as much or more credit. I'd guess there are a lot of people who've spent a lot of time away from their families to get this done. Absolutely. But Trump Vaccine has such a nice ring to it. How do you prevent the Chinese Flu? Take the Trump Vaccine... In the UK, 'trump' is slang for fart, so yes, it does have a nice ring to it.

@george-k i loved all that jazz.


@jon-nyc said in Pardon Betting Markets: ets game, Bovada uses stats and probabilities. But for pardons, Morrow said, “we really just went through a Who’s Who of people who are in trouble, and who have some kind of connection to Trump.” He added, “Who would be in his best interest? Bannon makes sense, Gates makes sense, Manafort really, really, really makes sense.” For those looking for a potential dark horse, Julian Assange is plus 250: a hundred-dollar wager would net two hundred and fifty. “Ghislaine Maxwell’s at three to one,” Morrow said. “That’s probably not fair. I would recommend not betting that.” DJT should make some wagers. Safe investment.
