    @George-K

    Where’s the McCarthy piece explaining that most of the inflation we’re seeing was inevitable regardless of what Biden did?

    Seems like people are being pretty selective about what they mindlessly credit or blame him for vs what gets loaded with pandemic caveats.

    His whole point was that Biden is being pretty mindlessly creative with his claims. X-axis, and all.

    What's funny is how people appear to be surprised by this, almost as if it's the first time it's happened.

    Indeed it became impossible to buy them and I was lucky to have already had a stash and also to have been an early purchaser once the pandemic did start.

    Interesting to see actual data about the hacking.

    But, what are they actually doing with that data?

    She had fun. No, this wasn't her main bunny, we just saw it at Ikea and had to get it also. 😄

    Chocolate was good! Did not taste like pressure-treated wood pulp!

  • Kapernick says he 'be willing' to start back as backup QB in NFL

    @Mik said in Kapernick says he 'be willing' to start back as backup QB in NFL:

    He hasn't been in the NFL since 2017, and then only as a backup. He wasn't that good to begin with and he hasn't gotten any better. Add to that his lack of team spirit, placing his own desire to demonstrate above the good of his employer, and you have a train wreck. Which is what he is.

    Excellent analysis.

    Looks like SurfShark has addressed the issue. I switched to them last year when NordVPN was asking too much for renewal.

    Yes, and yet you live where? Hmmmmmm???

    We don't get as much snoooow as you do, I think. But @Doctor-Phibes probably is the winner.

    We get a tad more than Brenda, I think. The thing about the snow here is that it all falls at once. Where we lived in Canada got more snow over the course of the year, and it lay on the ground for weeks, but we didn't typically get the big falls that required us to dig out. I'm guessing that is closer to Minesooota's situation.

    We can get 6 to 12 inches a few times each year. When it's more than 12, that's unusual and gets people all excited. 😄

    Wonder if he's still with us...

    I hope so, and I wish he would post to us again.

    My grandmother saw him while he was on vacation. There were rumors he was in town, and she knows for a fact it was him. But she didn't go over to speak to him because she wanted to respect his privacy.

    Kind of a strange idea these days.

    (Then again, when I sized up Jake Gyllenhaal for a pair of bike shoes I found myself doing the same thing. Weird.)

    @Jolly I'll give him a pass on that one. I can see him just extending his hand in a non-specific way.

    Also, the Easter Bunny wasn't there to spirit him away.

  • Geothermal?

    Renauda knows a lot more about this than I do, but the average U.S. exploratory well is 7800 feet deep. A lot of the oil wells talked about in the article ain't near that deep. Not near.

    Now, how hot it is in these shallow wells, I don't have a clue. But I doubt it's enough for heat pumps at multiple households. Or electricity generation of much quantity at all.

    Secondly, who owns the rights on these wells? Mineral rights are a forty-acre square in Louisiana for a vertical well. What are geothermal rights?

    Lastly, many of the wells they are talking about are in sparsely populated areas or in hard to access areas. Wonder how well geothermal would work there? The electricity generated would have to be transmitted long distances for the most part.

    Sure, it is obnoxious

    Maybe he saw Ms. Omar and wanted to mess with her treasonous head

    In that case, it would be a great move

  • Infowars files for bankruptcy protection

    Probably because,

    A. Infowars does not have the footprint or influence of CNN. Except for the MSM ya-ya, the vast majority of Americans would not have heard Jones' opinions on this matter or much of anything else.

    B. Infowars, AFAIK, has nowhere near the deep pockets of CNN. The parents will have the satisfaction of bankrupting the company, but other than shutting Jones up on this subject, what did they accomplish? Nutters gotta nut, on either end of the political spectrum. He makes his living off of agitprop.

    He will continue to do so.
