@jon-nyc said in Twitter vs x - url treatment by the forum: That’s exactly what George was going to suggest.

I shipped the return the day after I posted this. I packaged it well, LOL. It arrived on Tuesday, Sept 5. eBay notified me that I should receive a refund by Sept 7 (Thursday - yesterday), and if I didn't, to contact them. I didn't, so I contacted them today at about 7:45 AM. 20 minutes later: [image: 1694180218113-screenshot-2023-09-08-at-8.35.44-am.png] 5 minutes after that... [image: 1694180317271-screenshot-2023-09-08-at-8.37.22-am.png] I wonder how this works - considering the refund was so quick, I imagine eBay charges the credit card that the seller has on file with them.

I’ll give her some gender fluid…

The piece debunks itself a few paragraphs in.

Yum, those above foods sound good!!

@Jolly said in Biden's Foreign Policy for the Emerging Markets: the quality of Japanese construction projects. Absolutely, Have seen a lot of Asian E&C company's and have been most imprsessed with the Japanese (Toyo, Chiyoda, Dai Ichi, etc.). They all do top notch work, but they have been having problems recently because they are quite a bit more expensive. The Chinese have not been very popular (outside of China) because, as @Mik says, their quality is not so good. Most popular right now is probably the Korean company's (Samsung, Daelim, etc)

Yup! Profile in courage.

@Mik said in Tuna, butter and pasta?: Very tasty! If you like tuna, which I do. Sounds like a nice lunchtime thing!

@89th said in "When to ask?": Even age 13 is too young. I still remember girls in middle school who were obsessed with boys only to turn lesbian after high school dating me.

Interesting. Well-heeled Mexicans used to fly to Dallas or Houston for such things. Now it might be the other way round.

I’ve been using Henkel Granitium skillets for probably ten years now. On my second set, but good nonstick and excellent cooking. They’re safe for metal utensils, but I seldom use them anyway.

@LuFins-Dad said in Going to war with the school's car dropoff: I’m not really sure I get your question… It is happy hour, but… They completely dropped the ball getting that other kid into school, and then just let the grandmother drive away with him. Like, okay, no school for you today I guess. Or ever because we're sure as shit not going to help you.

Ugh. No parent kid should ever have to go through that. Worst parent’s nightmare. I was not an Alex Smith fan in the beginning, but the guy just kept plugging. He’s a fighter. It sounds like his daughter is too.

@George-K Did the post have any such allegations about Obama and Clinton? That is, after all, the story my post was responding to.

Imagine if he put out a release saying how unfair it was for them to tar him that way but then added “of course I’ll still meet with them any time as I have an open media policy. I’ll just try to get them to understand that, just like talking to them doesn’t imply agreement with everything they say and do, the same goes for all other outlets”.

I wonder if this is on the reading for the course. https://www.amazon.com/Bullshit-Harry-G-Frankfurt/dp/0691122946/ref=sr_1_4?crid=IZ2670YJ3114&keywords=bullshit&qid=1694105006&sprefix=bullshit%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-4
