I'm looking forward to this. I just finished season 2 a couple of weeks ago. The exposure of small-town English stupidity and snobbery was wonderful. Somebody said he's done more for farming in one series than 30 years of the long-running BBC show Countryfile. We were out in that area of England last summer visiting the wife's extended family and briefly considered visiting the shop, but sanity prevailed.

Won't be a Roland. No local dealer. Gonna be a Kawai or a Yamaha.

@Jolly said in Remind me not to become a landlord in DC: So, why be a landlord? Good tenants can make you, bad tenants can break you. Good question. Our home has a two bedroom suite with full bath, laundry, and kitchen. Total area is about 1100 square feet. When we bought the house 25 years ago, we thought we would rent the suite and pay down mortgage. When we looked over the Provincial Landlord and Tenant Act and the supplementary municipal bylaws we decided against renting it out. The hoops a landlord has to go through to evict lay damage claims. Forget it. What we did instead for the first seven years was sign up with the student home stay programme. Does not fall under any the L & T Act or bylaws and you are paid cash. As the homeowner we had unfettered access to the suite 24/7. If your student causes trouble the agency immediately relocates them. Worked out to $600 / month cash towards the mortgage and taxes. Never had any problem. Most of students essentially became part of the family during their stay. Our favourite was a grad student from Mexico. Damn, could she cook great dishes!

By the way, it's performed by Christopher Riley. The last fugue, in Bb might remind @kluurs of something.

Yeah, we’ve had our dogs at similar places for boarding.

Lead and regular exposure to other toxic heavy metals. Mercury comes immediately to mind.

I agree and for the same reasons you listed.

The last third of the video addresses illegal immigration. If if they’d just marry American citizens, they can be naturalized through marriage and at least in that sense marriage is a solution of certain class of immigration. It’s possible that marriage is such a good solution that some people marriage multiple times. Too lazy sift through the entire video but does that talking head say whether people who marry multiple times fair better than people who marry just once?

Hilarious

@Jolly said in Meanwhile, in England...: Has the definition of rape changed in the UK? No, I don't think so. There is a long history of the justice system not taking reports of it seriously, and victims being subjected to really unpleasant questioning. I believe this may have changed somewhat of late, which is why I asked the question about a willingness to report the offence.

...and people say there's no God

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary x2!!

#1) The conservatives hit by the arson are active on Social Media. They got the right attention that drove media to the story… #2) Compared to the Dem headquarters, the scale of damage is drastically different #3) The Chilurch in Minnesota? Just guessing, but I bet A LOT of churches and buildings have been burned down In Minneapolis without getting any attention over the last 4 years…

@George-K said in While we're doing 15 year-olds...: I cheated and googled it. Still have no idea who she was. But JWHT, to be sure. Why do we say JWHT as if it’s a great accomplishment? Jon would hit Rue McLanahan, and she’s been dead for 5 years… JWHT, Jolly would HT, George would HT, pretty much every heterosexual male in this site would’ve hit that if the circumstances were right (Time machine, single, she’s of age, no chance you could accidentally become your own relative…)

@LuFins-Dad said in In Portland: @taiwan_girl said in In Portland: I like REI. Kind of like the Apple of outdoor gear, with people either love or hate them. LOL The company, facing financial uncertainty, recently laid off 357 workers primarily at its headquarters in Seattle I did not realize this. You can tell somebody’s political affiliation by whether they shop at REI or Cabella’s… 555

Tesla Model 3 goes 5.08 miles per kWh, roughly, maybe, ballpark 40 kwh added in only 7 minutes of charging. 5.08 X 40 = 203.2 miles on a 7 minutes of charging I just googled this because I didn't understand the 40 kwh I'm still not sure what this means: Still pulling 300 kw at 60%.

I thought this was going to be about my girlfriends from college.
