What TG said.

And yeah, that's Jayne from Firefly.

The vet should sedate the kitty as soon as possible in those cases. Sometimes it's possible to sedate the cat while it's in the carrier with the owner holding it. We had a cat like that. She was sweet as can be at home, but at the vet's office .... oh my. I know all about this.

Very cool stuff!

Flash floods can be insanely dangerous. How quickly and powerfully they can come along at a moments notice. WARNING: THE VIDEO BELOW IS A BIT DISTRUBING. link text

It would be El Suxor to be the newest hire, based on skin color. I wouldn't do it. I'd stick to jazz.

@LuFins-Dad said in "the kind of people they are": Does either side have any supporting evidence to their claims? My guess? The Times was planning a piece about the neighborhood he lives in. Whether it was a legit story or a cover to dox him is probably up to interpretation. The reporter doing the story was probably interviewing neighbors and asking leading questions about Carlson and lining up photos that made neighbors suspicious and they called him. Sounds plausible.

That's what she said.

Whoever said the revolution will not be televised was very wrong.

a primary in a single district isn't going to be very well polled. I doubt its possible to see a 40pt gap or even a 10pt gap between polled numbers and reality on a national scale. But I agree with your main point that we should be wary of polls.

@Jolly said in COVID-19 Recovery Status of our Forum People: Routine antibody tests are IgG/IgM. Considering the nature of our very friendly virus, the antibody test may be negative now. Yeah, you're right.

@bachophile said in Happy Birthday!: Btw I’ve been to the town of Barolo. Small little country town in gorgeous piedmont countryside. The Cherries in Barolo dish that Mic snooted is a specialty in that region, I understand.

@George-K said in The Return of Rosie the Riveter: Thoughts on the museum? It was quite instructive. Well worth the time. I was impressed by its symmetric presentation of the war into an "Atlantic" and a "Pacific" part, the latter of which is typically only glossed over over here. I was also impressed by how it also elaborated on the less glorious aspects of the American participation in WW2. It felt like information, not like propaganda. On the other hand, the museum didn't say much about those parts of WW2 that the US wasn't involved in (such as most of the war between Germany and Russia), but it's not really an objection because most visitors are presumably more interested in the part of WW2 that involved the us. But one conclusion I drew after visiting the museum is that one should visit multiple museums in different countries on the same topic to get something that resembles the truth.

That’s hilarious. Xenon posted that last week.

Extending the social bubble to your neighbor. TG, I agree, that's worse than just smoking.

A great promotion for Country Time Lemonade. Smart and cute.

Absolutely no self-awareness.
