Skunk weed!

He’s fine, still in Colorado as far as I know.

Wow! That is really amazing. 500,000 years ago!!!

Seems like it is pretty standard in the US to sue everybody who has even had any possible connection to the "case".

Great idea. The government has experts who know the best food for poor people to eat. These experts will advise the poor people and help them become fit and healthy. Poor people everywhere will demand this amenity for their ghetto. Chicago leads the way.

I believe she has already retired Olympic Committee Bans Megan Rapinoe For Life Because “She’s a Troublemaker” https://news20click.com/olympic-committee-bans-megan-rapinoe-for-life-because-shes-a-troublemaker/ In a surprising turn of events, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has made a bold decision to ban Megan Rapinoe, the outspoken soccer star, from participating in any future Olympic Games. This comes as a shock to many, as Rapinoe has been a prominent figure in the sports world, known for her activism and strong opinions. The move raises questions about the line between an athlete’s right to free speech and the responsibility that comes with representing their country on an international stage.

I bet working at SpaceX is fun. They probably have 3rd graders next to college students all sketching cool ideas on napkins and then Elon just picks one at random and funds $50 billion for it.

I have no confidence that culture will be more aligned with me in 20 years than it is now.

@bachophile said in Saddam's Boats: So retro Yeah, but in 1982, it was probably cool AF.

"Art" is just the wrong use case for NFTs. Digital items in computer games do have real value. These things would work well as NFTs. And once we have the infrastructure to transfer ownership of real-world things via NFTs, then things become really interesting.

The guy is like 3 feet tall, can you trust his measurements?

And every time we try to short-circuit it we fail in one way or another.

@Mik said in Lying during sex: you gotta bang a few crazy dangerous ones. Why?

@Mik said in Vegan leather: Seriously. I just saw vegan leather handbags advertised on tv. WTF is vegan leather. It’s gotta be plastic. May be plastic, may be plant-based cellulose. There is real concern about whether such leather imitations have more or less adverse impacts on the environment. See, for example, https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/fashion/fashion-news/a30640996/vegan-leather-sustainability/

@Doctor-Phibes said in Hmm, that’s interesting …: Kennedy's taking foreign money? Let's hope EC didn't get drunk and go on one of his rants where he says the wogs and foreigners should all be kicked out. That would have been awkward hilarious. FIFY

@George-K said in Big City Medicine: As I've mentioned, Mrs. George and I have taken all our care downtown. It's nice having all the docs there, and traveling (not in rush hour) is only about 15 min longer that it was with out old primary care guy. Mrs. George had her cataracts done about 18 months ago by Dr. D. Dr. D. is smart, personable, quick and takes time to explain things. Based on that , I made an appointment to see her last year. EVeyrthing is fine, and I really liked her (she's cute, too...). [image: 1695327422635-image.jpeg] So, it was time for our follow-up visits this September - we were about 2 weeks apart in our visits. 4 weeks ago, Mrs. George got a call saying that Dr. D was unavailable for "medical reasons" and Mrs. George was rescheduled to March. No big deal, it's just a routine followup after her cataracts, and the usual geezer stuff. I found it interesting, however, that I didn't get a call to reschedule. Hmmm... So, I had an appointment with Dr. D yesterday at 10:15. We arrived on time, and the nurse told us that Dr. Z will be seeing me soon. "What? I had an appointment with Dr. D." "She's not in today." Well Dr. Z did her thing, after explaining that "I'm seeing Dr. D's patients for her today. I had no problem with the exam, etc., but I was kind of pissed that I would be seeing a different doc with no heads up. Harrumph... You know, and I know, something stinks.

The Japanese and Russian fisheries will enjoy the increased catch.

@Jolly That would be my guess. The music also sounded like the folksy socialist realist style of the Stalin era.
