Chicago is such a pretty city. From the reading, this does not seem a step in the correct direction.

At the end of the 400 years, it will be an extra USD$130K per student! LOL

"MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after several shopping networks and major retailers took the company's products off shelves. The Chaska-based manufacturer recently listed more than 850 "surplus equipment" items on the online auction site K-Bid. Sewing machines, industrial fabric spreaders, forklifts and even desks and chairs are up for auction. Founder and CEO Mike Lindell said MyPillow has experienced a loss in revenue and the items are no longer needed as the company consolidates its operations." https://www.startribune.com/mypillow-is-auctioning-off-equipment-after-losing-many-retailers-mike-lindell-minn-2020-election/600288705/

See? Methane is not so bad after all!

@Copper said in Did those guys really quit?: Mr. Trump's behavior has invalidated pretty much all rules and all laws. Since he might have done something wrong, all rules are off for everyone else, forever. Normal human social dynamics. Jonathan Haidt wrote a book on the subject, called "The Righteous Mind". The most dangerous thing in nature are righteous humans in groups.

idiots

LOL

@LuFins-Dad said in No googling - How old do you think Delilah is?: In Chicago she’s on 93.9 LITE FM. Ah. I don't remember the last time I listened to "the radio."

@George-K I'm very curious to know who bought it. Could be one of their local multi-millionaires, and there are several in that area. Heard of Fastenal? The folks who started it come from there. Very generous with their wealth, such as major donations to Mayo Clinic, land and construction funds for a brand new very large Catholic high school, a fantastic art museum featuring the personal collection of one couple, .... Yes, there's more than enough money to do a fine restoration from those large pockets. There are other very successful entrepreneurs in the area, and there could be a family connection with the home that would tug on the heart strings and the family purse. I hope the new owners have a great time with this project.

@Jolly said in NY mayor Eric Adams, infant: Folks... That's black culture, pure and simple. Thou Shall Not Disrespect Me! And he doesn't give a damn who you are. It just doesn't scale, is the problem. That attitude is all well and good for nobodies who's only personal power is in the random personal violence they can inflict. Now, he's the most easily trollable politician in the country. Call him a fag, or a pussy, or whatever. Then what is Mayor Infant gonna do. Nothing, is what he'll do. He'll take it, and he'll watch everybody else watch him take it.

It's also hard to argue that we need more crap out there, not less. Do we really want the Lancet to turn into The Epoch Times?

@89th said in Diverted: At least they dumped it in the Illinois section Gotta keep the alewife population down, one way or another.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Odysseus Johnson: Can you guess which name my husband chose? Homer?

@Doctor-Phibes said in Relationship between sudden cardiac death and COVID vaccine...: I want to see one-legged people of Irish extraction who are allergic to saffron between the ages of 26 and 28, and I want to see it now, dammit! Do they have cardiac events, too?

This thing works a little bit differently and fires under compression like a diesel. They say they've solved the wear problem, which I doubt (but that's a guess). It's also an Atkinson engine.

@Mik said in So much for a nice Amish boy.: @Jolly said in So much for a nice Amish boy.: @Mik said in So much for a nice Amish boy.: She really liked Winston Salem, so I suspect she might want to return to the south. Which would be OK for us. We like it too. Anywhere in that part of the world...North Carolina, Nashville, etc. They actually have four seasons. You have two down there. Hell and High Water. Well....yes.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Sen. Kennedy talks about the VEEP: @Mik said in Sen. Kennedy talks about the VEEP: Wrong Kennedy. Try again. Too late. He's deep into Kenny G at this point. Circular breathing.
