Wow, indeed, one of the coolest websites I've ever seen. I randomly clicked around and got to the moon landing part, then I could shift over to the FIDO channel exclusively. So cool.

Swell. Of course we are still left with the possibility his analysis was flawed.

Butt ugly fish there. The holes don’t help.

I pinged him on fb.

Interesting but not surprising. Most developed countries are dealing with this same sort of thing. If done properly, increased LEGAL immigration is the way to stop/slow this down.

Why is there no listing of the actual products and their respective results? Might be helpful to find reputable supplement vendors.

Editorial cartoons aren't dying out. Cartoon syndications and newspapers are.

We've always run combined from day one. But we were both well established in our careers when we met, so money has never been a huge issue.

@Horace said in Ghost rooms? How about skiplagging: TG posted this a while ago. Then LD posted Ghost Rooms, because skiplagging reminded him of it. Now you're posting about skiplagging, because ghost rooms remind you of it. It all reminds me of this time when I skiplagged to disneyworld and scored an all day pass by renting a room I didn't even want. I used the pass to go through the haunted house which was, you guessed it, filled with ghosts. Which reminded me of that time I skiplagged to Disney and rented a "ghost room". I'll tell that story another day. LOL. Did you experience seat kidnapping on your flight? Wait until I tell you about what that is!

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/06/23/clinton-sock-case-not-relevant-to-trumps-classified-docs-case-experts-say/70325388007/ Jackson dismissed the case, noting the agency didn't have the ability to designate materials as "presidential records," didn't have the tapes in question and lacked any mechanism to obtain them. She also wrote that the tapes were personal records created by Clinton under the Presidential Records Act and that the act did not assign the archivist any role with personal records once a presidency concluded. The act distinguishes between personal records, which don’t have an effect on the “constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the president," and presidential records, which do relate to the duties of a president and other government business, according to NARA, the national archives agency. David Super, a constitutional law expert at Georgetown University, said there are stark differences between the Clinton case and Trump's situation. “The documents there − tapes of a conversation Mr. Clinton had with a historian − did not arise from Clinton's performing any constitutional, statutory or other responsibilities as president and were not created by any other federal officials, even in part," Super said. "This is a sharp contrast to the documents Mr. Trump is accused of withholding." The Clinton case also had nothing to do with information that could be potentially harmful to national security, which meant the Espionage Act wasn't invoked. It also did not involve lying to federal agencies, disobeying subpoenas or asking other people to lie to or mislead law enforcement, Super said. Trump is accused of all those things.

@bachophile said in Haven’t been around much: That’s something which is far too complex to answer while walking down the street after a few beers. But interestingly I saw this in the times today https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/17/us/politics/trump-plans-2025.html It’s uncanny how the same divide is happening all over the world. One day historians will have a heyday figuring out why this is happening in so many societies. It does seem to be. There are limits to power in western nations particularly, and I can understand that would be chafing to a guy who was used to running a business. But 'sweeping new powers' always worries me.

@Jolly said in The Problem With Jackson: @taiwan_girl said in The Problem With Jackson: QUOTE By permitting violence to grow and government services to degrade, such political leaders take advantage of the need for certainty by promising to make things better for those who support their cause. For the clients and loyalists and insiders, life gets a little — and sometimes a lot — better. For everyone else, it gets worse. UNQUOTE This is the play guide of the populist leader, regardless of country. Read up on Huey P. Long. I think you'll find him interesting. Thanks Jolly. Just looked him up. Yes, he does seem interesting.

That happened to me one time on a domestic India flight. I boarded and this old lady was sitting in my seat. On shorter flights, I usually choose window. Anyway, she was clearly in the wrong seat. I called the attendant who spoke to her and she refused to move. It was kind of a short flight, so I just took her seat for the flight.
