    Yea, I watched Mr. Robot, but it's a distant memory. Rami Malek was amazing.

    I saw Lawrence in the theater. I think I was 12-13 and my parents took me. I remember the huge screen and the intermission (remember when movies had intermissions?). It ran 210 minutes.

    Interesting - It earned $70 in the box office - that's about $730 million today.

    LoA was made on a budget of $15 million. Today, that translates to about $157 million. Could that movie be made on that budget today? I doubt it.

    I’m re-thinking Noem. She might be fine at Homeland Security if we tell her the Cartels and Terrorists were messing with the neighbor’s chickens.

    lol that bull is so dumb. Probably a DEI hire lol

    Where's the MAGAT whisperer?

    Magats clap like seals at anything that reminds them of a circus. Also they were hoping the bull would gore the guy in the butt, because that’s extra hilarious.

    I didn't think he paid much income tax anyway.

    Squirrel had been living in captivity for seven years. Squirrels have only transmitted rabies to a total of 17 people in the U.S., with the last case in 1992. Couple of reasons for that... 1) they don't get the disease very often, and 2) if they do, they die quickly, often within hours.

    Raccons are a bit different.

    Sarah Palin and the New York Times have explored trying to settle the former Alaska governor and Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate's closely watched defamation case against the newspaper, their lawyers said on Tuesday.
    The disclosures came during a phone conference where U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan scheduled a retrial for April 14, 2025.
    That followed a federal appeals court's decision in August to throw out a February 2022 verdict in the Times' favor, saying it was tainted by several of the judge's rulings.

    Fortunately (hopefully) she will fade away. Wasnt the right person at this time. And maybe would not have been 4 years from now.

    The point in your house where the signal from the base is still strong enough that the extender gets full speed but maximally close to the devices that are supposed to connect via the extender.

    Trump won’t allow it because it makes him look like he’s not in control.

    The same reason he won’t publicly support Rick Scott. Because he’d look weak when he loses.

    Difference is the speaker vote is public.

    He would have to hire one or two people to help him, and his podcast would have to make enough to pay them. Beyond that, I imagine he may do it for fun.

    @jon-nyc said in You've been served...:

    Or joins a cult.

    Whatabout magats? I think Trump supporters don’t have nearly the difficulty in respecting people on the other team, that the TDS tribe does. But this is a slam dunk, based on what representatives from each tribe will say. A symptom of TDS is to have no respect for his supporters.

    @Axtremus said in A little neck adjustment:

    I never got comfortable with the idea of having my head/neck twisted by someone else,

    Same. I just have this vision of some nice on the outside looking person just breaking my neck.

    Article I Sec4 Clause 1

    The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

    Italics are mine.

    A particularly special tradition is the memorial to Marines unaccounted for. Placed in the corner of the ball room, a table sits with a single chair. The table holds a single place setting and special items, memorializing the fallen, missing, and their families.

    Mission BBQ does a variation of this at every location I've been to.

    They keep the one at my father-in-law's Legion (he was Commander for awhile) in excellent condition.
