@Jolly said in Third time's the charm...: A reflection on Biden's economy? I dont think so. I dont think it is a reflection of "Bidens economy" as much a reflection on backlash on corporations.

@Axtremus said in I don't understand Doordash.: @taiwan_girl said in I don't understand Doordash.: Hmm, I have never ordered food delivered in my life. :eek Not even pizza? Nope. Don t eat too much pizza. DOnt like too much cheese. When I do eat pizza, normally just go to the restaurant and either carry out or eat in.

@Doctor-Phibes said in 1 Day. 24,000,000 Views.: @George-K said in 1 Day. 24,000,000 Views.: I still take pride in the fact that, although I know who she is, I've never heard any of her music. Happily, I can proudly say the same thing about Ted Nugent. Personally don’t like Nugent at all, although he did make one album back in early 1970s, Call of the Wild, that had genuine toe tapping and beer swilling tunes for the boys. Hate to admit but I would take his guitar thrashing and hacking any day over Ywngie Malsteen. At least Nugent’s playing although not pretty, is his own voice. Have to hear a note from Malmsteen that is original.

@Jolly said in Meanwhile, in New York...: No, you're cheesy enough as it is. True, I have stayed sharp and aged well for close to 70 years now.

@Doctor-Phibes That’s ghastly in more ways than one. And I am not talking about its political implications either

See? Take away guns and then it’s BURGLAR TIME bro!!

If you're getting really concerned about accuracy I'd be tempted to experiment with a thermocouple reader - that way the sensors (thermocouples) are really cheap to replace, the expensive bit would be the reader, which is going to last for ages. The trick is you can then keep the electronics well away from the heat, which is going to improve longevity.

@Mik said in Dad TV: Not familiar with the Ballard character, but looking forward to the new series. Those books are fun. In those books, Bosch is retired. Ballard was exiled to the late show because her sleazy captain made a pass at her and she filed a complaint. Her thing is that she knows a lot of cases she catches just get handed over to the daytime detectives who halfass them, so she kinda works on them off the books, sometimes with Bosch's help. She also lives in a van by the beach and is kinda big into surfing and paddleboarding. From what I remember, I think she's from Hawaii. Desert Star is a book with both of them in it.

@George-K said in Moscow Marjorie: You're being sarcastic, right? Actually no. LOL Didn't do my homework. Just took the summary from the congress webpage. I do see the language from above when looking at the full text.

@George-K said in Leave "no signature of human manipulation.": What do you think the odds are that Trump was informed? Not sure if you are agreeing with me or not. 555

Wow. https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1782043407344361824

I believe there were at least a few incidents like that. They kept them quiet at the time.

@Jolly said in I'm too old for this shit...: ICU nurses are just different ER nurses are in the same category. There was a twitter thread posted by some 1st year resident (that's an intern in the old parlance) who was upset when the nurse asked, "Are you sure you want to order that?" I don't recall what he wanted to order, but the comments were...uncomplimentary toward the attitude of the (as my wife would have called him) "little intern." I commented by saying, "Suppose you went ahead, and things go south. Try to explain that on AM rounds. 'Well, the nurse did have some concerns.'" The other extreme (and this happened to me) is talking to the nurse and saying, "What do you think?" That's how you make a friend forever.
