    He spent a lifetime experiencing the upside of the famous name, now he’s seeing the down side and thinks it’s unfair?

    Yeah, that's a storied career. Representing Cornel West for President is going to be a challenge for brother Daou.

    @jon-nyc said in Hey Aqua: A friend who works in publishing posted: "I think we need to sponsor an apostrophe buyback program on Facebook." I know you’re not on FB, but you can imagine. Yeah, not wrong there.

    @George-K said in Thank goodness for long runways: Go to about 12:00 in the YouTube video to see an explanation of what probably happened. Thanks - I've watched this guy before, he seems very knowledgeable but he does tend to go on a bit. All that being said, when we're shopping for flights to the UK, and a cheap one with Turkish Airlines is given as an option, I do tend to swipe left.

    It was very common in 08-09 for a certain type of person to blame the financial crisis on the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Think Rick Zimmer.

    "How many positions does a trombone has?" In theory infinite as the sliding is continuous. Feel like there are a lot of "missed opportunities" as most repertoire using trombones do not take advantage of the continuous sliding nature of the instruments.

    There’s video of the dog attack (killing Ian Price). I don’t recommend watching as it’s exactly what you’d think a video of two pitbulls killing a man looks like. Some nearby folks tried hitting the dogs with sticks but they were old and didn’t have very strong swings, and of course someone was there to video it on their phone.

    @taiwan_girl said in A new sig line for Copper and 89th: @George-K Doesn't the red stick indicate that he is out of bound? (Of course, that doesn't change that it was a very good shot.) Nope, white is out of bounds. Red (and yellow) indicate hazards, such as water, but you’re more than welcome to try and hit your ball out of it without taking a penalty stroke.

    Doug Ford has a problem on his hands. He has to deal with it, it is his responsibility and jurisdiction. One would have thought he learned a lesson about mob rule in January/February 2022. It’s apparent he did not.

    I've stayed at a La Quinta ... once. In Fort Wayne, Indiana. Based on my experience (which was not unpleasant, I might add), I fail to see how they would have the absolute balls to charge a "resort" fee. That's like charging a "sommelier fee" for opening a can of Bud Light.

    That is a tough situation, and it will be interesting to see how the ruling is. There are many examples of musicians who have been influenced by other musicians and a lot of their songs are "in the style" of a previous group or person. I don't know. Glad I don't have to decide this.

    Actually, I doubt whether the Dauphin even know he was being bought. He left with all the money still on the table. In any case the problem with China predates Trudeau, it goes back to Harper and to a lesser extent,, Chrétien. But there is no denying it, Trudeau now owns it.

    Interesting. Popes are just like other leaders I think - some good, some bad, and some in-between.
