    @Klaus said in Hey Mark! And Klaus.: I used to have a colleague who was a professional classical guitar player before he turned into a computer scientist. That's like running away from the circus to go and work in a bank (as they said about John Major)

    Cincinnati did the same thing in the Delta Center. Not sure how much was spent but not a single patient ever went there.

    I watched Airplane just last weekend with the boy and was pleasantly surprised to see it hadn't been reedited. I thought I had read that they wanted to take the 'jive' scene out, but it was there.

    I wonder if you could successfully sue if you got in a wreck on or around 3 years and a day. Does GM notify you when that feature is about to expire? Sounds like yet another boneheaded GM move.

    When we were diligent about stoking the fireplace, yeah, that's about what we went through. Granted, this was an older model, I think we installed it in 1986-87. It was rated at 80K BTU and heated the entire downstairs (about 1800 square feet) of a poorly insulated house with 1921-vintage windows.

    @Horace said in Skyjacking, aft doors: Copper would never scare all those nice people on the plane like that. He didn't! That's one of the weird things about the story: he was a nice guy to everyone.

    @89th said in Foxconn: Maybe...but the fertility rate in Africa is substantially higher than any other continent. Lots of labor that need to work. For example, the country of Nigeria will be the world's 3rd most populous country in the next 30 years, only behind India (#1) and China (#2). Is that with or without covid?
