Mildly funny.

@George-K said in I, for one...: @kluurs said in I, for one...: The Chinese can manufacture zillions of them - and program them to swarm - whether troops, armour, aircraft carriers or fortified installations. And they would look to TikTok to look at your face? They've already raided every other social media and website for that kind of information. Tik Tok is providing a forum for directly marketing to US consumers, bypassing major and minor vendors - think Amazon, Facebook, etc.

@George-K said in Saturday dinner: @Horace said in Saturday dinner: And it's so easy. Turn on the smoker, put the steak on, and it's done in 30 minutes or so. I try to remember to flip it once, but eh, no big deal if I don't. In our condo, that's not an option. Nevertheless, I am jealous. You could get a smoker gun like restaurants use. Not sure how effective they are.

I may be completely wrong, but in my thinking, musicians and writers are similar in who makes it to the top. Talent for sure, but there is also some luck. I am sure that there are many talented writers (and musicians) who are not at the right place at the right time and just dont get the break they need to become popular.

It seems that a lot of what he wrote is starting to happening now. For example, dont need to go to college to learn coding. (On the other hand, i disagree when he talks about corporate labs not doing as well as the big company laboratories in the 1950's etc. There is still a tremendous amount of inventions and innovation that happens in companies R&D(

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Chicago (Teachers' Union) Way: I'm guessing she didn't teach maths. She might have taught a math.

Is that the only document released by the CDC on this subject, or are there other documents also released by the CDC on this subject, and the "completely redacted" document is but a data table with patients' personal information?

@Jolly I agree, but many people say one thing but usually shop with their wallet. Pay farmworkers more --> food prices go up. Pay slaughter house workers more --> meat prices go up. (We have had discussions on here about increase the minimum wage) Go to a grocery store. Buy a $1 apple from US or a $0.75 apple from Mexico? What will the majority of people chose? Read a story about the decline of steel in the US. Definitely steel work fits the 3 "D" definition of a job. Well paying also. But cheaper steel from mainly China, etc. has decreased the US market quite a bit. Now of course, labor cost is not the only reason Chinese steel is cheaper but is a (somewhat big) contribution.

It will probably not happen, but what a seismic event if a third party won.

Magats gon’ Magat.

See this clip below: Link to video Of the two jobs shown in this clip, half is taken by an immigrant, but most of the work is done by the immigrant, most of the energy is supplied by the immigrant, yet the immigrant is the one you feel like you want to punch in the face anyway.

Swell. Something else to worry about.

@George-K said in At the movies.: Dolby > IMAX? I looked at the venue where I saw Dune in the IMAX. I circled the seat I had. By comparison, the Dolby theater seems a bit smaller.

@Mik said in He's in!: Who in hell let him in? Aidan Maese-Czeropski? Oh, wait, you mean into the SOTU Address. My bad.

@LuFins-Dad said in More Dead Gazans: Genocide Joe. Fair point, this didn’t happen in Trump’s America.

I applied, but they said I lacked experience because I’m not online enough.
