    Having said that my freezer is pretty well stocked. I probably have 60 family dinners in it. At least the main.

    @bachophile said in Stop being shocked: I don’t know what’s going on on campuses., but the fact the Biden, as old and boring and as unimpressive as he is, as a centrist, outdid and out voted the left wing of the party, makes me think there is still a very solid basic centrist bloc. Which includes also the traditional conservatives on the right, who are distancing themselves from the chaos of trump. I still believe in the so called silent majority. I hope I’m right. Biden's not a centrist because be has bedrock centrist convictions, he's a centrist because his convictions are flimsy. The silent majority is very much the same. When they're hauled into an all-hands meeting and told to admit to being a racist in front of everyone or lose their job, they're going to do whatever they need to do to make the aggressors happy and stay employed. That's exactly how this shit has worked in the past. By the time the mob radicalizes further and comes for them anyway, it'll be too late to fix anything.

    Cool! Loved the drone footage on take off. Also looks so much more lightweight than other rockets. Definitely has a “wang” profile though

    What? So the WaPo ("Democracy dies in darkness") doesn't have a house conservative any more? I haven't been this shocked since the last time I put a 9V battery on my tongue.

    Yeah, there's no presumption of innocence for the person accused of libel, rather it's the other way around. If you're going to say nasty things about somebody in the UK, you need to be able to back it up with proof. There's something to be said for both sides, but the UK is generally a lot less litigious than the US. The trashy media is no better, but they're different. I would say that mass media news reporting is quite a lot better quality than the US, but whether that's because of the libel laws is debatable.

    @Mik said in Red Beans and Rice: I'll look for it. I am much more interested in this sort of thing than fancier cooking. Most of the time anyway. Have a coffee table to put it on. Darn thing weighs ten pounds...

    Do not let the Foghorn Leghorn act fool you. Kennedy was the state treasurer for many years. As such, he was our government oversight official. He ain't dumb.
