@LuFins-Dad said in "This Old $52.9 Million House": But remember that Mar A Lago is only worth $18 Million… And it's bigger and has a golf course.

Or maybe Elon cut a deal for the privilege of building that giga factory in Shanghai. :man-shrugging:

248? Hoorah!

It can fly with or without a crew. It can control a number of drones.

Yeah, the original Huey and Duey. Phooey to them.

@LuFins-Dad said in Interesting post: @jon-nyc said in Interesting post: I think you missed to comedy of the post you referenced and assume it meant all published science is flawless Not at all, the meme is meant as a joke and an eyeroll at the internet rando that disputes the findings of the vaunted and elite scientist. My personal view is that more and more of what is being published as science anymore really isn’t. And more and more often, internet randos are catching flaws in the method. There are a lot of factors at play, but the biggest problem these days seems to be “trust” as opposed independent challenge or verification. A physician reads a study and says “wow! I wouldn’t have thought that!! But it’s peer reviewed and in a trusted journal, so it must be the truth.” And now an absurd concept becomes “scientific consensus”. Examples of this are becoming more and more evident, and I don’t think it’s appropriate to try and make fun of the general person that’s willing to challenge one of these assertions. Two things can't be true at once: The "scientific consensus" regarding anything political, is overtly politicized. (Who can ever forget the timeless "racism is a public health concern which makes public gatherings during COVID ok"?) People who view scientific consensus about political things with a ton of skepticism are sneer-worthy rubes I guess one can pick and choose which to believe, if either. But anybody who believes both, gets my sneer.

Well tempered

Hope it gets better for you soon, @Jolly and Louisianans. Stay strong. The Californians survived many years of severe drought; you will too.

@LuFins-Dad said in Fetterman's office: I didn't like it when the squad members put up the Palestinian and the Gay Pride stuff up, I don't like it when the US Senator puts up the pictures of the hostages. It's not the appropriate venue and beneath the dignity of the hall. US Flag, State Flag. That's it. While I appreciate and agree with the sentiment, the US Capitol is not a High School where students put up banners all over the place and signs on their lockers... I'd agree with you if the citizenry weren't so upside down. When we're playing around with anti-semitism on a social level (and yeah sure we can argue that point, I might not be right about that, but I think we absolutely are), you nip that shit in the bud any way you can, decorum be damned.

I’ll never forget the moment when they got the “Go for TLI”. That was a close second to the small step for a man. They were the first to head out away from earth orbit. RIP Astronaut Borman.

Hey you and that one are kind of a Swiss Army knife

@Copper You know, you’re probably right.

Well that would kill a Manchin run…
