I watched about two seconds's worth, and . . . I guess I'd go see it. But you know those trailers can present a lot more promising than the actual movie, what with the Ee! Ee! Ee! music and all.

Bad idea. Certain to make a bad situation worse.

OK, who shouted 'Donald dropped the soap?'

@Copper said in Mitt Romney calls new bike lanes 'the height of stupidity' as bicyclists press Congress to make roads safer and e-bikes cheaper: @Aqua-Letifer said in Mitt Romney calls new bike lanes 'the height of stupidity' as bicyclists press Congress to make roads safer and e-bikes cheaper: The vast majority of cyclists are also car owners. When they are driving the car not while riding the bike. Car drivers get roads because they pay for them. Bike riders think they should get roads because they whine. Stellar argument.

@Jolly said in Five F'in Paragraphs: But c'mon, man! Five paragaphs on something the woman had nothing to do with? Not to mention DOCTOR (they addressed her as such x3 during the cutaways on ABC) had Billie Jean King as her special guest. Messaging, much? Well, yeah. Those who can most effectively stimulate the lizard part of our brains win the Clickbait Games. Those who don't lay off their staff. Woke stories drive the feels, positive and negative. Those five paragraphs you hate so much paid for the rest of the coverage. It's disgusting and it's the way of the world.

Nothing to see here. Move along...

@LuFins-Dad said in More gender surgery for minors: @George-K said in More gender surgery for minors: @Mik it would stand to reason (but, I'm kidding here, right?) that this type of stuff needs parental/guardian approval. You have to wonder how much whack-a-doodle parenting is going on to permit/encourage this. Would you prefer a dead daughter to a living son? Let me think on that one...You know, I'd prefer a son who was mildly unhappy, but would probably outgrow it, than a daughter fairly likely to be miserable and possibly commit suicide.

Srsly, do not expect ChatGPT to always get the facts right. It's not built to give you "factually correct answers," just "human-like responses."

Hmmm, I was told yesterday that this guy was going to be one of the 4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonny_Kim Navy Seal, served in Iraq with distinction. Silver Star for rescuing injured Iraqi soldiers in the face of enemy fire. Went on to get his BA In Mathematics and graduated Harvard Medical School before joining NASA.

@jon-nyc good points. The defiance of a subpoena is always a bad look, and promotes the "What are you hiding mentality," whether it be Bannon, Holder or Lerner. Whoops. My bad...only one of them was held accountable. But yeah, there's a place for - I hesitate to use the word - "secrecy" in government. Still when "oversight" doesn't get "oversight" is stinks. Behind closed (non-leaking - heh) doors, perhaps would be another solution. The other problem is that these meetings usually end up being nothing more than political grandstanding, and little real knowledge is delivered, or even sought.

Interesting to see local inner city orange surrounded by suburb blue. You see that in Houston and Dallas. I've only recently learned how entirely screwed up Houston is, with a pro-crime DA.

So is Doctor Jill the first woman?

Those are pretty common figures on the web. I'd say they're right.

Not. Funny.

We’ve still got all of our old iPads (except for the very first when that broke when I dropped it, and the one that flew off the Steve’s car on the interstate when he left it on the roof of his car - he went back and found it, but it had a big tire mark on the cover) I use the old ones to store photos on that I use for painting references (so much easier to have a photo on a big screen, can’t believe I used to paint huge paintings from tiny 3.5 x 5 photographs).

Hmm. Looked at the dates. We get back from Alohaland 4/16, have theatre tickets 4/18 and head for Winston Salem 4/4 for graduation. That would be tight. If we can make it, would you like to go?
