I forget when exactly, but there was a time when there were 5 or 6 aircraft carriers all in town here at the same time. That probably would have put Virginia somewhere in the middle of that list.

@Horace You are quite welcome! :couple_with_heart:

@LuFins-Dad Since the Wiki card has already been played once in this thread, I think you need to look at the abolition movement in Britain and how that coincided with the drive to independence from the Crown. It would have influenced the thinking that gave rise to Jefferson’s draft cited above: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolitionism_in_the_United_Kingdom There is no inherent evil on the part of anyone.

I laughed too.

A thorough dive into the history of Sowell's reputation, might reveal white liberals as the source of the animosity.

Nah, he's not half full. He's a FOS president. FOS in the radiological sense, of course.

@taiwan_girl said in Who Wants a Free USD $19?: https://secure.winred.com/doug-burgum-for-america/gift-card-receive?exitintent=true This site has a banner moving across the screen showing a person's name (First name, Last initial). A few seconds after I got there it showed my name. That cost him a donation, too creepy.

Yep. One wonders why she did not hear it coming near as well. Could be her present condition contributed to the tragedy.

With board, you get Rove.

@Jolly said in Constitutional Carry: @taiwan_girl said in Constitutional Carry: Federal judge rules Oregon’s tough new gun law is constitutional Big whoop. Consider the judge, consider the state, consider the law. It will be overturned by SCOTUS, at least parts of it. They may get to keep the background check and training components.

By the way, you know who hasn’t yet cleared? Mike Pence.

idiots

@Copper the second was even worse in that respect.

To your question of frogs and emotion, I think it's entirely possible they have some level of emotional expression. They definitely like being together, and they go out of their way to sit together quite often. Sometimes they'll sit nose to nose. Perhaps there are other reasons for choosing to be close to each other, such as sharing a sunny spot to get warm, yet there doesn't always appear to be a reason other than companionship. I've also noticed over the years of having pet frogs, that some are more social than others, and that a frog may go through a period of preferring solitude, then switch to wanting companionship for an extended period. When there are multiple frogs living together, they will select the same companion repeatedly during that time. That part I found very interesting. Their seeming preference for several days, even weeks, for a steady companion, sitting together in various locations, but always together. Jane Goodall should have studied frogs, too. Just sayin'.
