Either we have standards for elected officials or we don't regarding this issue. Frankly, I'm fine with either. At least let's be consistent and not attribute your evasion to the fact that you're running for a "lower" office. But @jon-nyc , I see your point. Lindsey should have known better than to make this an issue while wearing blinders on the Trump issue.

If there are no more indictments releasing the report prior to the election will hurt Trump. And it should blow up all that Q anon bullshit.

When did it begin, where completely stupid and asinine reasons became viable and somehow equally considered as truth? For godsakes, did all the adults leave the planet?

I thought The Atlantic was going to follow up on this? Did anyone see it or did they hit and run?

Harry Patch was the last combat veteran.

Not, it certainly is not.

@jon-nyc

I'm taking LD's advice these days. Keeping it cool, but the very next goddamn thing that happens, I send out my letter.

The grocery stores with delivery and curbside pickup are doing well. Other grocery stores may struggle. I wonder how the smaller grocers are faring. They may be fine just because more people eat at home and cook at home now.

We have flexi-time where I work, but you're supposed to be in by 9am. Typically people start between 7.30 and 8.00. I was once told off by my former boss for getting in late (at 8.15). Tosser.

@jon-nyc said in Puzzle Time - The out-of-shape postman: Note also that the distances between the houses don't matter at all. The ‘official’ solution came out today. When discussing a generalized version of the problem, it pointed out that for odd numbers of houses the distance between them matters, but only a little. In the case an odd number of houses you start and end at the center house and the one closest to it. Otherwise the solution is identical and scales to any number of houses.

Playing through the whistle is cheating. And you can’t spell cheat without hate, if you know what I mean.

It is a sobering and sad day. It is one of those days where we generation remember exactly where we were when we heard about it. As Mik said, it is important not to forget, but CatsEye is right, time goes on. There are no "children" today who were alive when 9/11 happened as it was 19 years ago. It is like any "defining" event in US (or world history). How many people remember the end of the World War 1? Less and less people remember the atomic bomb to end the World War 2. etc.

Interesting (and sad) article. It is hard to imagine a 17 year girl having to grow up like that. That is someone who life choices were out of her control.

@taiwan_girl said in No electioneering allowed in polling place: @Doctor-Phibes said in No electioneering allowed in polling place: She took her shirt off to reveal a pair of boobs, thereby depicting both candidates. Fair, and balanced. Yeah, that was the POTD.

The Dunkirk comparisons are just nutters.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that...

Here is all 5 minutes. Kind of shows that short clips can be very misleading. She has issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/iq8eeq/coworker_just_came_back_from_a_flight_to_show_me/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
