@Mik said in Curbing the use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: A solution in search of a problem. I agree. I dont think that it is as "strategic" as people think it is.

@Horace said in NBC's Almaguer largely vindicated: @jon-nyc said in NBC's Almaguer largely vindicated: Interesting. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1619471548406190082?s=46&t=OfcKHd5fFpkgPKsCH4XMqA What specifically would Elon apologize for? Oh yeah I remember he retweeted someone's elaborate gay-tryst-gone-wrong theory. Yes that retweet should be apologized for.

This was pretty good, but i doubt I'll ever love a Louis CK special like I loved his earlier ones. Not worth the money to watch the stream, if the special is going to be released soon anyway, as an edited recording of better performances. He had about 35k viewers on the stream last night, at $28 each. So, around a million in streaming revenue. I get the impression he needs and appreciates money these days more than he did before.

I think I would have preferred it in subtitles. I like to hear the language.

Sounds like work. I’m enjoying my part time consulting gig. Good to have to a look at problems and goals again, without impinging on my days much.

Good ones, Cats.

Doesn’t seem to bother THE Ohio State University one little bit.

@Axtremus said in House GOP's priorities ... what are they?: It seems they cannot govern. We'll never know what is behind that paywall.

@Mik said in Growing tomatoes under your solar panels...: Interesting, but how does one plant and harvest on a sustainable scale wit panels over top? Going to have to be something that is hand-picked. Or the solar panels will have to be easily portable and very durable.

Once again, I find myself agreeing with Jolly. The Ukrainians need weapon systems they can easily maintain and train to combat readiness on quickly. M1 Abrams do not fit that category. Leopard 2s do fall into that description. Spare parts are readily available and the tank itself was designed for a conscript army to operate and service.

lol. The puppy was a nice touch.
