    @Tom-K said in A milestone: Hey, Brenda, congrats on 40 years of happy marriage and Mik, great you've lived this long: real the challenge is yet to come. I remember my uncle was in his 70s talking about health and said ‘when you’re in your 40s you start noticing some things. In your 50s it’s more of the same. 60s even more of the same. But 70s is an entirely different ball game’.

    I had that sense of it but kind of at the end of my career so I didn’t try to jump on board. It is handy to have it summarize what a search tells you.

    Matt Yglesias: “ Trump is doing the part of socialism where you destroy the economy's long-term potential with central planning, but skipping the part where you take care of the poor and the sick.”

    34 - most of them some time ago when the kids were younger. I took my son to watch Brokeback Mountain 30 times in the vain hope that he would have a career in marketing.

    @Axtremus said in NVIDIA’s 4T valuation in context.: Trump just green-lit them to sell AI model training chips to China; that’s many $billions in revenue. Beijing is resisting, telling big AI companies to not buy AI chips from US companies like Nvidia and AMD to favor China's domestic chips instead. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/15/china-not-welcoming-nvidia-back-with-open-arms-even-if-h20-curbs-eased.html

    Bill Gates completely missed the importance of both the internet and smart phones until some time after others had picked up on them, and I suspect he's wrong this time as well.

    I used to work at a deli but I got fired for sticking my dick into the pickle slicer. She got fired too.

    I've heard he's a great dude, a terrific musician, and yeah.... what a talent, makes me want to go back and watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (first "grown up" film I remember watching) and so many of his other comedy classics. Great Oscars host, too.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Why HHS Pivots Away from mRNA Vaccines: DeSantis really should have wiped the floor with Trump, but he was too weak. He didn’t go in hard enough to beat him, nor soft enough to stay close enough for a cabinet position. But who knows, maybe it’ll serve him well in 28. Especially if some of trumps’s policies and up hurting people (I’m looking at you, tariffs) and those close to Trump get tainted by it.
  • Dems should thank Trump for a corporate tax they couldn't get done.

    I don't think so. He doesn't generally veil what he means in sarcasm.
