    @Jolly said in Jets get their man.: What does this do to the AFC East? I allows the AFC East fans to watch an old man past his prime who will complete some passes. Attendance in NY will go up a little.

    @George-K said in It's Hot Outside: @taiwan_girl how much air conditioning is available in Thailand? If I were guessing, maybe 60%-70% in the city. In the rural areas, maybe a bit less. All the main shopping malls, etc and the more expensive apartments have it. For a non-AC studio apartment with a ceiling fan in an outlying area of the city, probably about USD$150/month.

    QUOTE The poll was conducted April 17-19 with 915 likely U.S. voters and has a 3% margin of error UNQUOTE I would be curious to see the demographic of the 915 people survey.

    It never ceases to amaze me that anyone, anywhere, would not know better than to misbehave on a flight. How many stories do you have to see to know that’s a 100% loser.

    @Jolly said in Getting It Good & Hard: The last Republican mayor of Detroit was elected in the 1950's. I'd say Detroit went down a bit since then... Yeah, but look at Chicago. No question that there was all kinds of corruption, nepotism etc during the Daley (both of them) years. But Daley Jr did a great job of rehabbing the city. The Loop became vibrant, the city, at least the business and shopping areas, was clean. Rahm Emmanuel (remember him?) almost seemed like a placeholder, but the city didn't go into the crapper. That started under Lightfoot, and it'll continue, I fear, under Johnson. The last Republican mayor of Chicago was "Big Bill" Thompson in 1931. Wanna talk about corruption??.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Do it!: liked Martin Freeman's portrayal of Watson the most of the ones I've seen. His frustration and exasperation with Holmes is very funny and understandable, and he's by no means played as being a dummy. He was in the show that I watched. He was quite good also.

    I think that the strictest is the Swartzentruber Amish. I do not believe that they even allow cushions in their house, except on the beds. Make it uncomfortable to sit around, and people won't sit around - they will go and do something. LOL

    @jon-nyc said in HB 291: Hard to believe it’s necessary. The only place I’ve seen vaccines enforced in the last year is inbound US flights and that’s only for noncitizens. It was 18 months ago.

    Indeed. The buck doesn’t stop there. Not to mention she was domestic policy advisor and those are all foreign policy.

    The modular system never worked right and the propulsion systems have been a nightmare, constantly breaking down. I don't understand why we don't configure the ships for a single mission, re-do the power plant/drive system to a conventional lay-out and get thirty years out of the hulls.

    I'm sorry, but the sentence should be 30 minutes in a 10x10 room with the child's family, with no charges being filed afterwards.

    @George-K said in YouTube TV?: @Doctor-Phibes said in YouTube TV?: Sod that. You should see my cable bill.... We saved over $120 a month ditching Verizon cable when we moved. I do miss watching the Formula 1, but it was an awful lot of money just to watch a bunch of knobheads going round in circles, and since it was about the only commercial-free thing on there, that was all we watched.
