Thanks, Aqua. I think everyone would enjoy the article as well, worth the read. Just a cut & paste to give an idea of the tenor of the article: "Over the past few decades and with increasing velocity over the last several years, a determined young cohort has captured nearly all of the institutions that produce American cultural and intellectual life. Rather than the institutions shaping them, they have reshaped the institutions. You don’t need the majority inside an institution to espouse these views. You only need them to remain silent, cowed by a fearless and zealous minority who can smear them as racists if they dare disagree."

Yes. We never left the Allentown Hilton, which was across the street from where I worked. I was consulting for PP&L, believe it or not. Shortly after or maybe before I did a few months in Harrisburg.

What data? How much chad counting footage would you like to wade through?

SCOTUS don't play dat.

My doc and I are about the same age. I've been with him at least 30 years. When I mentioned to a doc friend on faculty at Northwestern who he was, he was shocked that I'd be able to see this doc as his clients included a lot of top execs, CEOs and VIP type people. We've become friends over the years as he is both an audiophile and record collector. If anyone is wondering why their doctor is running late, is because of some a......e like me. I am not looking forward to hearing he's retired.

@Loki said in Emergency Exit: I feel like I’m missing something here as it seems impossible. Is the problem how your daughter’s rental property is zoned? Maybe Sean knows something. The problem is quite interesting. The landlord of her apartment, Mark, is required to have 2 exits (fire code). One of those exits is onto Sean's property. Sean's building a property there blocks Mark's exit. The questions are, afaict: The violation of the lease that D4 signed. Though expired, the law says that she needs to get 30 days written notice that the lease is terminated. That never happened. What will landlord Mark do about complying to code, considering that landlord Sean wants to block emergency egress from Mark's building? There are NO alternatives for emergency egress from Mark's building. All of this will become moot in about 4-6 months, when D4 moves. However, it's certainly fun interesting to watch. In the meantime, she has secured parking for her car at a location close by. SIL is parking his car at the condo. Since he's working from home, this is a minor inconvenience. As Mik pointed out, the legal question is interesting. What legal responsibility does Sean have regarding Mark's compliance with code? Also, as Kluurs mentions, the question of how compliant with code is this new construction with such a narrow lot? I've tried to find the City of Chicago code about "narrow lots" but i've not been too successful. Insert popcorn gif below.....

@jon-nyc said in Coattails.: @George-K , I saw that about the GOP women. By the way Purdue probably will go into runoff. Which means control of the senate is still an open question. Likely gop, but definitely not a certainty. Like Biden says, patience.

Nice! That makes sense. At least I didn't screw up.

Speaking of inauguration day, I can't wait to see the letter that Trump leaves in the drawer of the Resolute Desk.

Now the question is, if Trump isn't there to steer the party, how long will it take the republicans to totally waste these gains. We have one party that is made up of liars and cheaters, so corrupt they deserve to be labeled enemies of the state, and the other party divided between solid men and women of honor, and a bunch of bumbling fools.

It's actually an amazing accomplishment. Somewhere in the stupid dipshit mind, is the realization that Trump was an individual. Not only an individual, but the first one. Man, that must have hit hard, to the masses.

@Larry said in On this day...: What's sad is the realization that there are people on this board who think I actually believe that.. What's even sadder is the realization that there's 2 or 3 here who do believe it... You're laughing at me now, but you're not going to be laughing at me exactly 4 weeks, 3 days, 2 hours and twenty minutes from now.

@jon-nyc said in Trafalgar: Undermining confidence in elections could end up being Trump’s worst legacy. That’s total BS. And where is the civil war that was predicted? The transition too is going to be very smooth versus the hysteria we had to suffer through.

This Chinese guy goes to the doctor complaining about a problem with his penis.. The doctor tells him to drop his pants so he can examine it. The Chinese guytell the doctor he's too shy to do that because it's so small, and he's afraid the doctor will laugh at it. The doctor says "Sir, I'm a professional, and I've seen hundreds of them . I promise you that you do not need to worry that I will laugh." So the Chinese guy finally agrees and drops his pant. The doctor looks and had to bite his own lip to keep from laughing. He had never seen such a tiny penis. The doctor stifles his urge to laugh and says "Ok.. what seems to be the oroblem?" The Chinese guy says..... "it's swollen, ".....
