@Mik said in Baked half-spuds?: I do that too. It works with pretty much all root vegetables. Shhhhhhhhhh ... I want George to think I'm a genius.

"My best work is behind me" Hahaha hahaha Autotune....

@Copper said in Trump gets another in-kind contribution: @LuFins-Dad said in Trump gets another in-kind contribution: Time for the Baseball bats... Yes The question is wooden or aluminum? Aluminum. Swing speed is faster and they are harder to break.

Yeah - it's an important function in a democracy. Voicing the collective perspective of a specific segment in society. In legislation that affects multiple industries, the environment, certain segments of the public, etc. - you need "lobbying" for each of those perspectives.

Of course people are betting that 2016 will repeat. One would have to assume that there were no lessons learned from what was missed last time.

I remember when the value of my house was an important part of my portfolio.

Must be that IED flavor...

Fraud Elections can and do change in a matter of days. Look at Bush/Gore.

@Mik said in Came *this* close...: 13K is still very close, astronomically speaking. Yipes. It would have been mostly dust by the time it hit the ground.

Maybe RBG just give that much of a shit about how long she lived and had her priorities right.

Traveling alone -> Hotel Traveling with family -> AirBnB If I travel alone, I don't need the things an AirBnB apartment usually offers, such as multiple beds and kitchen.

Ok. Definitely NOT the Gloria Jean I knew.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Some make it. Some don't.: @Jolly said in Some make it. Some don't.: It's always interesting how a few make it big, some struggle along for a few years and some don't make it at all. Yeah, but Game B is absolutely a thing now. I can't tell you how many people I know who have "made it": not in the traditional sense, and sure as hell not on any traditional platform. They're involved in a small handful of revenue streams that are independent enough to be stable long-term, and they're doing what they love. It's possible now. But the viable model looks completely different from what folks presume. I should tell the music industry version of what you're talking about. Youre exactly correct that things are very different from what folks presume.
