@89th said in Parent 6th Sense?: Honda Odyssey. We’ve had Hondas for years and have never had issues. It’s pretty cool, lots of little features that’ll make road trips suck less. Big fan. We flip flopped between the Odyssey and the hybrid Sienna. I liked Odyssey better for the highway but Sienna for city.

@Axtremus said in The most fun he'd ever had...: “Informed consent” covers a lot of ground when it comes to sexual interactions, but does not quite work when the mentally impaired are involved. Certain forms of mental impairment may preclude an individual from being “informed,” yet permanently denying a mentally impaired individual from sexual experiences also seems wrong/unfair to such individuals. :man-shrugging: At what IQ level do you deem competent to give informed consent?

Especially when all the insomniacs are driven before you and you hear the lamentations of their women.

By the way, that six year old kid who shot his teacher in class a couple weeks ago, was black. He had threatened another kid on the playground with the gun that day, and the principle was warned about it. The school did nothing, possibly due to equity concerns with black kids being disciplined more than other kids. The school didn't want to deal with accusations of racism, if they did something about the kid.

@jon-nyc said in There will be pain: Copper quit smoking decades ago, golfs every day, and hits the treadmill regularly. Unless he has some risk I’m not aware of, I’d go 72 if I were him. He'll die much healthier.

Oh, the Woods thing? Me too. Besides that it was a joke between two people, never meant for tha jaundiced eye of the public. As for her? More power to her.

@George-K For my colonoscopies, I wanted the milk of amnesia. Half way through my second prostate biopsy consisting of 22 or 24 samples, I thought similarly. Luckily the radiologist was ex military and we managed to tell tales through the last dozen or so.

@Jolly Korotchenko is a real piece of work. He regularly appears on Russian TV blustering on about how Russia should retaliate against this enemy or that enemy. Today it’s the USA. Ten days ago it was Israel, the week before that, Norway. That khuilo is a loud mouth of no consequence to anyone other than to himself.

@Axtremus no idea. It's a combo modem/router. [image: 1676849598779-image.jpeg]

I think Lemon is on his way out at CNN...

That's pretty cool. HW looks like a muppet.

@Horace So a Ukrainian thinks the West’s goals should be exactly aligned with Ukraine’s goals. Duly noted. Good catch and I trust you have no issue with that fact. Now that you have duly noted it and brought your astute observation to the attention of everyone here reading this thread, I encourage you drop a letter to the editor at Atlantic Council of your discovery.

I've got a couple of ollie-knockers I'll let you have...One for free or two for nuthin'.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Academy Awards - Will Smith Edition: @George-K said in Academy Awards - Will Smith Edition: A year later: Here's Why Chris Rock Deserved That Slap Though it’s clear a lot of folks still think that the star should be able to joke about whoever (sic) he wants, it seems like they’re ok with it because he is known for going after Black women. You see, it's all about racism. Never mind that the guy who got hit was black, he deserved it. Words have consequences and the consequences should be violence. A quick Google of the woman who wrote that would indicate that she spends her entire life writing, talking and presumably thinking about race. She must be a riot at parties. Sorry, I didn’t mean to say riot. She wouldn't pursue that sort of writing if it wasn't socially advantageous. I'm sure she does just fine at parties.

@Mik said in Hay George: https://thatoregonlife.com/2023/02/cannon-beach-resorts/ We considered the Stephanie Inn. It's a ways south of town, but that's not a problem. It was, however, quite pricey. Great views of the ocean and Haystack rock. We also considered The Inn At Cannon Beach. Much more reasonable than the Stephanie Inn. But...it's not ON the beach. It's a block away, and though nice, I would prefer a better view. The Ocean Lodge would have been our choice - good location, on the beach/ocean with great views. Again, a bit south of town. For our two stays, we were at the Hallmark Inn. We were able to get a 1 bedroom suite, facing the ocean. Our view was right outside of haystack rock, and walking distance to the center of town. A five day stay, all taxes, fees, etc included, in July was about $2500. The only downside is that there's no restaurant on-site.

They look like Pixar characters.
