Foggy Bottom. So aptly named.

@George-K said in Meanwhile, in the garage...: Where would one get the lumber to mill? When I was building, I'd buy S2S and have the store edge-joint one side. They charged $1 a board for that service. Stuff that small? People would give it to you.

@Jolly Interesting. I know that in Taiwan, you can be recalled also, but then all guys are required to serve in the military.

@89th said in New Job Title!: The Director (Dettelbach) is also gone. Gun rights groups rejoice! Yep, an absolute ass.

Growing up, the most popular toothpaste in Taiwan was called "Darkie". I think in the mid 1990's they changed the name. But you have to understand, it was not meant to be racist. Most people in Taiwan had never see a black person before. [image: DarkieToothpaste_new.jpg]

(Now, do a appendix like that USSR doctor!)

Interesting and not sure I understood all of it. LOL What is the benefit - just getting a higher gear ratio in a more "compact" gear? As the guy said, a lot of stress on the whole system

Would be interesting to see how they came up with the #'s No explatnation, just a $ amount.

Enough about his sex life.

Bongino called this one weeks ago ..

The professor only mentioned the 2 genders. Mr. Trump has set us free.

Well, I take my shoes off on a plane, but I do bring slippers to wear. I dont understand how people can take their shoes off, wear no slippers and then walk around, especially to the toilet. :eek

@Doctor-Phibes said in Things that make you think about life...: @Jolly said in Things that make you think about life...: Signed my first papers at 52. I still work PRN. I'd still happily work p/t if I retired, just not at what I do now. A comment...After I retired the first time, my wife threatened to bury me in the back yard. Not because I was doing nothing, it was because I had too much going on around the house and I started early. So, I went back to work full-time, but in a totally different career field. It was hard, but it was fun. And it stretched the brain, along with meeting a lot of new people. Sadly, some health issues got in the way and I had to quit. I got antsy and went back to healthcare working PRN. I've enjoyed that, but I'm getting c!oser to hanging it up. I certainly would have stayed in the other career field if I could. So if you can retire and you're able to do something else, do it. I think you'll find it rejuvenating.

No, difference in opinions. Elon is talking about secured money. I figure the Trump figure takes a more optimistic figure based on total investment over time and with government help.

@Horace said in When you lose the WSJ: I would have preferred that the J6 pardons were more discriminate. The only discrimination involved was between commutation and pardon. I was expecting some people to stay in jail. Agreed. There's a relatively clear line between leading the charge, assaulting officers, breaking and entering, stealing, and conspiracy to stop the election.... and those who were there for the protest and followed the mob through already-opened doors...aka trespassing or unauthorized entry. The latter shouldn't have been charged in the first place, and pardons would make sense there. But not for the clear criminals.

Excellent.
