@George-K said in Who Dis?: @Horace said in Who Dis?: Since it's so obvious, I guess the answer is someone who is impersonating Brando. Billy Zane All credit to the makeup team. Now if voice and mannerisms came through, that would be to Zane. But not in a still.

I agree on right to repair. Our 2010 Camry just needed a torque converter. My mechanic could have done it but the electronics needed to be flashed and only the dealer can do that.

It's not a bad business. Problem comes when you have people who get behind in their rent or who abandon their belongings. But there are ways to screw them over...

I remember when this happened to Treacher. This is why I wont shed a tear either. https://jimtreacher.substack.com/p/heres-why-i-hate-media-matters

That's great. In 2023 there were 128.4 million households in the US, plus businesses. So we'd need about 200 of those.

The taxes on that here would be 200-250k per year.

No apologies. That's good. Link to video

As a touring classical pianist, I can vouch for this. My most recent gig in Dallas paid literally nothing.

Lol

@Doctor-Phibes said in "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm...": The thought of me cutting down my own tree is so ridiculous it’s not even something I’d contemplate. We had three taken down when we moved and watching them at work emphasized this point quite strongly. It all depends...If you're working with a tree that's not a problem (clear area to fall, symmetrical limbs) and you're just trying to get it on the ground, it's not too hard. Just don't try it on a windy day. I do keep a 100' cable out in the shop, just in case we have to pull one. You do that for pulling through limbs on other trees or when you really want one to fall in a small, designated spot. You tie your cable up the trunk fifteen feet or so, then pull with a winch, come-along or with a tractor, as the cut is being made. Depending on the tree, I may have to add one or two 25' chains to the cable for length. But tight corners around the house? Having to top one out and take it in pieces? I grit my teeth and let the guys with the equipment do the work. Last big pine took a crane and cost me $1800.

I have no problem with this. Some of the congregation should have helped the priest.

For me it was none of those ages. It was the 90s. Economy was going gangbusters, the Cold War was over, no real challenges to the world order were present, and Islam hadn’t really reared its foul head yet. Domestic politics were tame. Hell, Dole ran to the left of Clinton on a couple of issues. Those things seem objectively true and demonstrably superior to what we faced in prior decades and the decades since.

@taiwan_girl said in Maybe it's just me...: Wow! Sounds very sad. Also slightly odd that "royal sources" and her "friends" apparently only spoke to The Daily Beast.

TCM.

Shucks, I thought this was going to be a morning after thread...
