    That was quite interesting. But it makes sense that the caveman ate what was around. If they tried to concentrate on only a certain type of food, they would probably to survive.

I refuse to speak to people with MBA’s. I’m happy to be condescending to people with doctorates but I draw the line at MBA’s Nah c'mon, they're fun. They don't know when you're poking fun at them so you get to kick the can down the road some more.

    @jon-nyc I just discovered it late this week. One of the lawyers I sort of follow read it in his youtube channel, commenting during the read. He makes a great comment about the part where the brief cites "A Modest Proposal," while claiming that The Onion is staffed by better, and smarter, writers than Jonathan Swift. It's great Onion reading.

    I love cold soda water. I drink almost no alcohol anymore (migraine issues, and it is sometimes a trigger) so my favorite beverages a dinner are either soda water or NA beer.

    @George-K said in Don't rinse your bird: washing an uncooked turkey can splash pathogens, like salmonella, onto other kitchen surfaces, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. And therefore can lead to serious foodborne illnesses. Thus the millions upon millions of cases of foodborne illness from washed turkeys every year. (Eyeroll.)

    @George-K said in Hay Aqua! No chains!: https://twitter.com/TheFigen_/status/1590381831454855176?s=20&t=15DPnB-OB3d9ymh_XREusw What happens when the thing does break down, though? Efficiency, no matter how great, never removes the burden of repair and replacement. The beauty of a traditional bike drivetrain is that it can last years or decades, but when it does crap out, the parts are very easily machined and installed. Still pretty cool, though. I'd want to see it in a 'cross race before I buy one.

    @Axtremus insulin is covered by our national insurance. I don’t think diabetics pay anything. I don’t know what it costs the country.

    @taiwan_girl said in Justices Cheered: I guess i dont understand why the need to attend for any justice. If Supreme Court judges attended a Planned Parenthood dinner, I would have the same reaction. I agree, but I think the comparison of The Federalist Society to Planned Parenthood is a bit off. Also, I'm not sure there exists a left-wing equivalent of the Federalist Society.

    @Catseye3 said in Hay Cats (and Horace)! Your (late) "zooms" post of the day.: problems with my data usage You might want to look into T-Mobile internet. If you're within range of a tower, it's only $50 a month, unlimited - and no equipment extortion rental. Verizon (different towers) has a similar plan, but it's more expensive ($80, I believe). I've been very happy with T-Mobile. The speeds are erratic, but for what I do (web browsing, Netflix, etc), it's always enough. At the moment (just checked), I'm getting 518 downstream. I'm about half a mile away from a tower - line of sight. Each of these providers will tell you if you qualify based on your address.
