Rally drivers are freaking nuts. How do you even get started thinking it would be a good idea to do that for fun?

@89th said in Pick one Year of Movies: The Crow I can't even think about enjoying movies when I know Brandon Lee died in the filming.

@Mik said in "Shell-shocked": I think they misunderstand the role of SCOTUS. It's not to guide policy, but to interpret the nation's laws according to the Constitution. How positively 19th century!

Around here, it's still mandatory if you are admitted to the hospital.

Kind of skimpy coverage, but yes, wishing him well. What is this, the universe's Dump on Football Players Week???

@Axtremus said in South Carolina Supreme Court: Six-week abortion ban unconstitutional: violates a state constitutional right to privacy. Relying on this Right has always seemed kind of stupid to me. It just doesn't make sense. In my mind, the murderer's privacy has never overruled the victims right to life. Why would this just apply to murdering a baby, why not apply it to any murder? What about the shoplifter's or horse thief's right to privacy? If you want to justify abortion, find some other reason.

@taiwan_girl said in Stripped: Quite common (or at least used to be) that non-US airlines (Asian) were quite picky about female appearance. Even US airlines were quite picky about the appearance of their air stewardesses/hostesses/attendants. The US airlines just started to place less emphasis on looks earlier than the other airlines.

Happy 20th!

@89th said in "Don't let the door hit ya...": To be fair, he said he would resign as a way of saying the democrats would never do that. Also to be fair, he voted for Trump at the same time Trump is endorsing McCarthy. Also, how am I older than Gaetz? I still think I'm 25 (but feel like I'm 40). Wait, I'm as old as Mayor Pete? Ok, I should stop looking things up. It only gets worse. Stop now. If only he would actually resign, I think the Dems might do it.

I’d do the conversion first.

Just like sharks.

@LuFins-Dad said in "Every book deserves to be heard.": Can we address the very notion that Every Book Deserves to be Heard? I kind of disagree with that very premise… Works for an ad conceit, though.

Maybe the current Congress can change the rule before its term is up. :man-shrugging:

It's kind of weird - when we moved there in 1997, one of the big selling points was how affordable housing was - the house we bought was huge by British standards, and cost the same as my very modest British house sold for..... ....then we got the winter heating bill. Yikes. Moving to Massachusetts was very painful - we got a house of roughly half the size for roughly twice the price. Now the Ontario prices look pretty similar to Massachusetts, which we recently left because of the cost.

Awesome!!!

@Doctor-Phibes said in Heading For the Door: @Copper said in Heading For the Door: Over time smart people will always outperform stupid people. A really smart person might realise that performance isn't everything and go to the beach. Making enough money to live simply and comfortably and then retiring asap is absolutely a smart person thing to do. But finding fulfilling work is probably a better option.
