@Axtremus said in Stale Chromebooks being sold as new?: they cut off support 7 years after a model is last sold Obsolete models are those that have discontinued for more than seven years. However, I don't think any of them are being marketed or sold as "new" as the Chromebooks are.

@Jolly said in Car Bloat: Or ...find a pickup with a standard. You'll never wear the transmission out and nobody under 40 could steal it. I wuz looking in the interwebs... Found a 2015 Nissan Frontier stretch cab, four-banger with a standard, 105,000 miles, asking $9990. That's a 200,000 mile truck. Has the itty-bitty jump seats behind the front seat, just big enough for a Chihuahua, but there's enough room there for groceries or a bunch of tools.

@George-K said in Dead Republicans: Indeed. I saw an article which claimed to be a "meta analysis" of vaccine-induced cardiac injury. https://twitter.com/tylerblack32/status/1688274450276663296?s=20

@George-K said in California vs. Florida: The unasked question is this: Why is the governor or California a failing presidential candidate engaging in a debate with a declared presidential candidate someone who isn’t even running? That's rhetorical, of course. Fixed.

@taiwan_girl said in The M2 Money Supply: … the below sentence seems logical [off topic] I see more and more of this sort of sentence construction. “The below sentence,” “the below figure,” “the below table,” “the below graphics,” etc. Growing up, I am more used to “the sentence below,” “the figure below,” the “table below,” “the graphics below,” etc. (or “the following sentence,” “the following figure,” etc.). Inexplicably, I see “the below XX” from many college/university-educated foreigners for whom English is not their first language, but notably also university graduates from India; these folks are typically pretty good at the Queen’s English. Anyone else seeing this? [/off topic]

It's an interesting thing - I've seen Leo P, a former member of the band, on YouTube. He's somehow managed to make the baritone sax a front line instrument. Link to video

Well, at least he was nice enough to put on his emergency lights to warn others.

@George-K said in What browser are you using?: On the Mac, I use Safari with the Duck Duck Go privacy extension. Oh, and DDG has been by search engine for years. Me too!! Great mind think alike!!!

Completely off this topic, but I think was a nice class thing to do was that Taylor Swift gave each of the 50 truck drivers that drive the equipment from show to show a USD$100K bonus. Of course, the cynic would say that she can afford it, but like the truck driver leader said, she did nt have do it.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Partially Right: @taiwan_girl said in Partially Right: I always thought that religion (of any type) is about a sense of community or belonging. Kind of like a gang for good people. LOL That's only one part of it. That's not all of what religion is. That is true. What would you add to what religion is?
