I wish.

No relatives here but three friends lost brothers and one friend lost a son to opioids. It’s a genuine tragedy.

Nah. The Pats just don't have a lot of offense.

@Jolly said in This is why we can't have nice things...: Folks, a lot of people voted for Trump in two elections. Even more people voted for Hillary and Biden in two elections. You ought to remind the Republicans to work with them too.

Been through that. It's a mess.

@Rainman said in $1.55 Billion: Jolly, you don't know what you're missing. Why don't you want to be rich, or at least somewhat wealthier? It's so easy to buy the tickets, I just don't understand some people. LOL I guess that is why the most tickets are sold in the poorest sip codes.

@George-K It would be interesting to see Amazon stealing rate vs. other grocery stores.

@Jolly said in New work socks: Working from home, I suppose? Yes, but even if not I'd wear 'em.

Those folks cannot catch a break. Not for the past 45 years anyway.

What Mik said. I have been wondering if Israel would target them. They might prefer to do it later, they've got their hands full for a bit.

@jon-nyc said in Meanwhile, in Baltimore...: The 'better off staying home' uses the same false assumption Ed Inc does, namely they believe the euphemism "bad schools", which really means "collection of poorly performing students". This issue is the quality of the human capital, by and large, not the physical building. At some point, the culture of the school can be an impediment to learning.

When you have no idea what to do, get out of town and pretend to be doing something.

In years past maintaining contact with your homeland was difficult to impossible, slow and expensive. Now it’s free and constant. Immigrants do not have the same motivation to become integrated into their communities.

Big whoop.
