@LuFins-Dad said in Greeks be...Whoa!: This may have been the worst copycat thread, evah! Extra special since it’s Valentine’s Day.

Just as an observation...Wife is helping her mom and dad lock in their funeral costs. $25k for the two of them, not including cemetery costs (headstone, plot, etc.) That represents almost a 10% increase in the last year or so. And...the person at the funeral home told them they are expecting another price increase in the next 60 days, due to rising costs on their end.

@Jolly said in Firing squads anyone?: He's spitballing. I rather suspect that isn't spit.

Much more efficient use of area, with no gaps that could cause movement damage during shipping.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Rise of Vice: Top 10 Countries with the highest rate of incarceration Comparing to other countries really isn't the best measure. If money was no object, what is the optimal % of people incarcerated? What is the goal? The USA has 629 people per 100,000. Let's try 1,000 per 100,000 and see how that works, don't worry about the rest of the world. Also, let's remember our convicts are very comfortable and well educated compared to the rest of the world.

That boy is doomed. Trash for life, sorry.

@jon-nyc said in Rogan and Taibbi: @George-K There was a great Advisory Opinions podcast on it. I don't remember the details but I think there basically had to be coercion - a real or perceived threat. The Twitter Files have shown quite clearly that Twitter was very comfortable saying no to the FBI, to the Trump administration, to the Biden campaign, and to congress critters. They clearly had no concern about retribution. I doubt the law is so badly worded as to specify threats only. Obviously the public trust is equally violated if some sort of compensation is given for compliance. No stick, just a carrot. Then imagine the FBI owing you a favor, and it becomes obvious that this stuff is indefensible.

@Jolly said in Ok this is kinda funny: This is the same guy And his lying is Santos-worthy.

@jon-nyc said in Sydney ≠ Sidney: True of about 90% of Australia too, though not Sydney. Yup. At least we don't have remote areas where 90% of the wildlife is trying to kill you. We do that in the cities.

The Scots are such a sarcastic race

@LuFins-Dad said in It's good for children, too...: You know, that explains a whole lot about the Boomers on this forum… OK

Sure wish they’d close a few here. Wal-Mart has decimated family owned retail outlets in rural areas.

That said, coffee never fails.

The water had to be cold to prevent lens fogging. Maybe those ladies were better actresses than you would think.
