Damn, I was rooting for Spain. I want our pathetic team to go home.

Mr Jones is at the helm of several large organizations. Head coach of his football team is a single position of leadership among many. Would anybody care to guess whether people of color are in fact represented among that class of leaders through his organizations?

I find the article kind of nonsensical. They start with the premise that population density would be far lower due to the inherent genetic makeup of the Neanderthal to stay in small family groups. Well, if that’s true then why are we even having this conversation? The Neanderthal never stood a chance at surviving because of that basic trait.

I wouldn’t be a landlord in NYC for love or money, but if I had to I’m sure I’d want to do the background check. I’m just curious how the ex-cons experience it. Is it a minor annoyance that some buildings won’t let them rent there? Or is it so ubiquitous that they basically have to live with a relative?

Yeah? That excuse doesn’t fly. This proves my contention that no matter how stupid something is, there’s someone, somewhere who will do it.

"They also noted features Musk plans to implement, including long-form tweets and encrypted DMs." There seems to be a rise in paranoia about the DMs being stored on Twitter. Up until now, they have not been encrypted, and, apparently, any enterprising and creative hacker might be able to see some unsavory and embarrassing comments.

@Friday said in I think our neighbor is going to call CPS on me…: Did Finley actually sing "just like a young girl should"? Once… Mostly he just ran around singing the first 2 lines.

I think both fingerings you describe are reasonable, George. I'd just choose the one that works better. However, I'd definitely change the last three notes (starting with the c#) to 321. It's odd to have the second finger on the b and then jump to the a flat. Also, you have 321 on the octave above, too.

That first video reminded me of the "I Love Lucy" episode where Lucy and Ethel are fighting over a TV. Even now that show makes me laugh. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I never saw the appeal of fighting a crowd just to save some money.

That's what I thought...

@Doctor-Phibes said in Better Vaccinations Through Chemistry?: Yours is the country that gave us the words winningest and burglarize. Hold my kombucha, I'ma gonna top that with "organizationalize."

If they’d cast Scatman as a Nazi I’d definitely have watched it

@Catseye3 said in Saudi players gifted luxury cars after upsetting Argentina: Big deal. It's not like the cars can be neatly and safely stored in a safety deposit box like the Rings. You haven’t read Tolkien have you? Just wait until Tommy loses his hair and starts scuttling around the seafood counter in Stop and Shop looking for some nice fishies wearing nothing but a thong.

I don't know enough about this, wrt treatment, other than to think that, if you start using "clot busters" you might make that clot small enough to fit through the mitral valve orifice so that it can shoot into the left ventricle and out the aorta. It's a stroke waiting to happen. Interestingly, the patient is in sinus rhythm not atrial fibrillation which is usually the setting for such a clot - though, he might have been cardioverted into sinus prior to the echo. Our cardiologists NEVER cardioverted someone in a-fib because a sudden change to sinus could loosen the clot and send it to places where you don't want it to go. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10359923/

OK - 6 episodes in, and I'm done. I have to acknowledge the really high production values and concept of being ice-bound in the arctic, in the mid 19th century. The discipline and logistics of such a long, long ordeal are well-portrayed. Sorry, but I find the wandering storylines distracting: the "monster," the Inuit woman, the lead poisoning, the alcoholism of Crozier, the utterly confusing names, and muttered dialog. Gimme Shackleton. Can't.
