@Horace

@Horace Glad you turned out okay. @Doctor-Phibes what a pretty area! Hope you didn't have any experience with the stocks!! @89th A pretty common style of old time houses. I was from a village (Nan Kun Sheng) which is actually pretty close to Tainan city. About maybe 45 minutes via the new express road. Your house looks very "Americana". (PS. Wise words about childhood!) @copper. What an impressive church!! (and a nice house) @jon-nyc @Mik Thanks for the memories!

I would like to hear Mrs James' side of the story.

https://epson.com/For-Home/Scanners/Photo-Scanners/Epson-Perfection-V600-Photo-Scanner/p/B11B198011 I have this one. I used to try and take pictures only with film camera. I did save most of my negatives, and the above scanner can to negative also with photos. Like @Wim I did the photos one by one at high settings. Seemed to work best for me.

@Mik said in Hemp hearts: I've never heard of them before this morning. Me neither. 555 I will have to try one.

The middle aged ladies of Bluesky appear to believe their naughty bits continue to provide them leverage in the public conversation. Maybe they're the last generation who, as young ladies, did have a great deal of leverage.

I think that the % who identify and those who actually are are very different. As @Mik says, kind of fashion statement these days.

It would be a much more disciplined approach. I’d like to think Musk was doing the same but I see no evidence of that.

Meh, tear it down. Tear it all down. Then rebuild it. The largest job growth over the last few years? Federal Government. Highest median wages? Federal Government. Best benefits and job security (before November)? Federal Government.

@Klaus said in German Election: Oh I see. But given that more young people voted left-wing your caption doesn't seem to be consistent with the graphics. It’s not about the actual number, it’s about the significant growth. It’s a far larger number than a few short years ago.

Not soon enough.

I was surprised that the funeral was only yesterday. I thought they buried the bastard within a day or two of his demise.

I thought this thread was about yo mamma’s ass.

So we can thank the uncompromising self-righteousness of the western left for the corner it's painted itself into. Yes, you don't have to look too hard to find leftists proudly saying that they're content to die on the right side of history, rather than win political games in the near term. So, I say, let them die on the side of their delusional version of what history will actually be. Win/win.

I think it will probably get an Oscar, but not best picture. There were some great performances and creative filmmaking but overall it just devolved into a gangster flick.

@Renauda said in Hockey: We won in overtime. Our boy, Connor McDavid made it 3 : 2. First, he is your boy by about 25 miles. Lucky his parents didn't drive the other direction when the mom was in labo(u)r. Second, their parents really missed an opportunity by not naming him David.

@Copper yeah the bald dude on the left. Also a quick tip, usually if you see someone in this area with two cell phones stacked on top of each other (on their table), it's usually a DOJ or related job. He also had a folder with "Homeland Security" on it, and was drinking water when everyone else had a beer.

Um....no.

@xenon Intrepid that you should mention the paradox of it all. The past several days I have been reluctant to mention it as I convinced it was just me who was struggling with the concept.
