I like the concept, which is why I said to apply it to cars. Much of what we buy as consumers, is not made to be durable or repairable. The manufacturers like it that way, since they can peddle more product, but it is the least green approach to energy and resource use.

Awesome TG. Thanks.

I may not know what a woman is, but I can sure identify a pretzel when I see one.

How much time have you spent in Loudoun County? Zero. LOL (I may have driven through it, but in any case, not much time.) I used to live there. So I still get the community emails. There are two main reasons why a very small minority of malcontents often make the paper. If it bleeds, it leads, and because they actually do wreck things for everyone else. I agree with you 100%. It is sad that a minority is taking up so much news when it is not really justified. You missed my point. It actually is justified. You don't have to deal with it so it's not real to you. Sorry to break it to you but not everyone enjoys that luxury.

@LuFins-Dad said in Disney is Floundering: Disney World was a place where you could go and forget everything else going on in the world for a few days. The world's most expensive liquor store

Yes, it is.

Fascinating. And a stark warning.

@Jolly said in Ban Addressed: Exceptions to the prohibition include recording at public meetings, such as city council hearings; while a felony that endangers human life is being committed; and by law enforcement officers while performing their jobs. Wait … the decision continues to ban recording of without consent?

@Copper said in The 25: @Doctor-Phibes said in The 25: Woody Allen Cancelled for child abuse. I doubt that Woody Allen was a bigger asshole than Peter Sellers, who is included in the list, and rightly so. Probably not enough, in fact.

Maybe he caught the other one earlier.

Obviously, he does not know about it. Kind of funny however. But I think in many/most places, you actually have to file to run as a "write in", which means filling out a application, signing the form etc. So, if someone actually did that and it was not President Trump, it could be ......................... election fraud!!!

@taiwan_girl said in More pro-Putin Maga: Who is he? (Jack Posobiec, not President Zelensky) A wagging nobody seeking who craves attention.

NYT Religion.

It's an abysmal failure. OTOH, kids today are far too finicky.

@Jon I was aware of the organization some months ago by a mention from James Esses. I even forwarded their information on to our friends whose son is transitioning, hoping some of the resources and support mechanisms might be helpful. It does seem to be a good group though I don’t think their ultimate goal of putting transgenderism back into the Taboo box Is really viable. I think the best to be hoped for at this point is stopping the “Gender Affirming Care” for minors, putting a stop to Social Transition for minors, and establishing a bill of parental rights to kill off the school teachers, administrations, counselors, unions, and every frigging politico that thinks it is ever okay to exclude parents from vital emotional well being information and decisions.
