They bought the land. I am not seeing the problem here.

Not sure what I watched? An old restored silent film?

At the Taiwan Costco's at least, they always check your picture, even at the regular check out. (I dont know how carefully how ever) I dont remember that they have the self check out yet there.

@George-K said in 1926 Macallan: I don't understand this. At all. I don't either, but I think it is like the others said. Super rich people spending on toys. If the buyer is 1MM times more rich than I am, than this purchase was like me buying something for 2.2 pounds. It is an atmosphere I will never reach.

@George-K I read The Firm when it first came out. For a few months it seemed like everyone was reading it. Sort of like DaVinci Code, speaking of authors who rewrite the same story over and over.

@Mik That makes sense as well.

So tell me. Just where does Jimmy Hoffa fit in to all this Kennedy and mob crap about the dead blonde?

For the record, and maybe because I've had 2 glasses of wine tonight to unwind, but I know full and well (and have known for the last couple years) that I am living in "the good old days" right now. Yes I get maybe 5 hours of sleep per night (3 kids ages 5, 3, and infant = some combo will be up throughout the night), and yes I'm out of shape (no time to work out, plus snacking at 10pm doesn't help)... it's sleep, work, kids, sleep, work, kids, and maybe a house project from time to time. But I'm fully aware of how awesome the kids are at this age... my son was told once (ONCE!) that a toy pirate was called a scallywag and so he goes around today narrating how the scallywag was fixing the pirate ship, and the 10 month old (been walking for a month btw, WTF) points at me and smiles when I come up from working, then she tries to play chase... meanwhile, and at the sacrifice of this sentence never ending, my 5 year old pretended to be a cat going to bed tonight, after drawing a very impressive picture for me earlier in the day. The good old days... exhausting beyond belief, but I'm enjoying it.

Hahaha holy shit that is hilarious. Especially the last rap "I'm celibate..." literally laughed out loud. If you (the generic you) haven't watched Key & Peele you can spend hours on youtube catching up. Their skits in general are 100x funnier than SNL, although if you multiply by zero...

@George-K said in Thinking of getting a digital piano: I don't know about your model, but on mine, if I forget to disable "local control," the sound coming through the headphones/speakers is a mix of Pianoteq and the built in sounds. So, if I choose a harpsichord tuned to A414 and don't turn off local control, it's a mix of both sounds. "Funky" is an understatement. The difference among PianoTeq pianos becomes more obscure if "local control" is not disabled. My piano doesn’t play any part in producing the sounds beyond the midi output. That goes to the computer, where my headphones are plugged in. The piano’s volume stays at zero. Other models have a line in, where you can play the Pianoteq sounds through the piano speaker, but my model has no inputs.

@Mik Mrs. George LOL’ed.

I used a combo on the wife today. Flu A/Flu B/COVID. (All negative, BTW). Docs tend to order the combos. A new up and comer is the LFT RSV/FluA/Flu B.

@jon-nyc said in Tonight's dinner - Lasagna: I agree it’s labor intensive. But for 5% more effort you can make two or even three at once and freeze the others. I'm sure that's the case. But for just the two of us, I'm not going to invest the 5%. I got four meals out of this. I'm good until at least June, LOL.

@Aqua-Letifer That is not dissimilar than to the role of PMC (president of the mess committee) a position the C.O. voluntells by order upon the most junior officer in the regiment at an Officer’s Mess Dinner. Been there done it, is all I can say.

And all God's people said, "Amen!".

It's always in the last place you look.
