    Rosemont, with such proximity to O'Hare, has a very good reason to try to avoid becoming shelters.

    The original song's so weird that this isn't even weirder—it's just weird-comparable. Did a good job, though.

    @Axtremus said in iOS 17.0: iOS 17 broke text box copy-and-paste in a spectacularly stupid way: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255154126 I upgraded to iOS 17 last night and now I cannot cleanly copy text from a browser’s text box; I get “%20” escape sequence in place of every blank space character. Why Apple breaks something so fundamental, so obvious, yet unable or unwilling to fix it in 17.1.1, we will probably never know. Sounds like user error. I suggest reading the manual.

    Jolly if you were an independent you wouldn’t have swallowed that list so uncritically.

    I was called white once at work by a progressive white female. The one who indoctrinated her 9 year old son to the extent that the kid cried at the results of the 2016 election. A story she would then relay to others as proof of how bad Trump was. We were sort of friends and close coworkers at the time, and I think she thought she was educating me rather than scolding me. I don't quite remember the context of the conversation, only what felt like an accusation. It wasn't a term of endearment, that is for sure. That same progressive white woman could often be seen 'working with' one of the few black scientists, a younger female, in the office. They would prominently sit hunched over a laptop in the break room. I always had the sense that the interaction was necessarily a patronizing one, and one in which the white woman felt she was being charitable and fighting the good fight. Gross.

    At this point... I think the Heisman race has narrowed to two people, despite Bo Nix's performance yesterday. My two favorites would be Penix (Washington) and Daniels (LSU). Bo Nix played in the SEC and was inconsistent. The PAC-12 ain't the SEC. I could say the same about Penix, but Washington is undefeated and that means something. Harrison at OSU is the top receiver, but this is the year of the QB. Daniels has had a good year, but his last three games have been video game numbers...Alabama (382 yards, 3 TD's in 3 qtrs as he was hurt on a dirty play and didn't play in the 4th qtr), Florida (606 yards, 5 TD's), Georgia State (509 yards, 8 TD's, didn't play the last 8 minutes). Season so far...46TD's, almost 4600 yards, 4 INT's.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Johnson's Release: @Jolly said in Johnson's Release: It's not always about Trump. You need to tell that to Trump. Nah. Your life would lose it's flavor without President Trump. What else would you have to obsess about?

    Okay so you believe the US is, after all, just a little bit civilized.
