    Applicants do not have to be Black or Hispanic to qualify for the product, a bank representative said. At least that answered my first question. My second question is... this might end up back firing if a bunch of honkies decide to move in, flip, and gentrify "colorful" areas.

    Actually it’s hilarious. Especially if you have been in Moscow and tried to get a licensed taxi.

    @Renauda said in Captions?: ..."the bad news is that your closest other neighbour will be Khrushchev.” That's funny.

    @Copper said in Why Trump has a lawyer problem: Oil and electricity problems make lawyer problems seem trivial. Mr. Bush invented the bloody stuff, I'm sure we all miss him now. Mr. Trump didn't invent the bloody stuff, but he didn't throw it away either. I'm sure we all miss him now. Is America better off than in 2016? It was for a while. The geniuses in the whitehouse really hate this country and are doing an effective job of destroying it. I must admit we have made great strides with skin color diversity. And we all embrace men wearing skirts, so there is some progress. I just think it's beneficial for Trump to be reelected in 2024. It will give the muttering and nattering class something to talk about. In their dotage.

    Funny y'all should be discussing this at the very moment I'm reading the Overpopulation segment of PJ O'Rourke's All The Trouble In The World. He has a lot to say about Paul Ehrlich, none of it complimentary. Toward the end of this section, he writes, "In other words, people are -- present company always excepted -- just awful. Especially if these people happen to be not-quite white. Notice that Paul Ehrlich is not panicked by being caught in the squash and jostle of rich folks around the bar in the Churchill Downs clubhouse on Kentucky Derby Day. Nor is Charles C. Munn worried about the opening night crush at New York's Metropolitan Opera. And Malthus, when talking about a race of unwashed brutes who live in a miserable spot and don't have enough sense to come in out of the rain, is not discussing Highland lairds." (This is well out of context. Without the rest, O'Rourke sounds kind of like an idiot. But if you read the rest, it makes good sense. At this moment I know more about how Bangladesh is run than I do my own government.)

    The much bigger issue is that they were fighting for a seat that was held by one guy for 50 frigging years.

    One trick I learned, that I always forget, is to "dog-ear" every other page. That way, when you want to turn the page, the ear is sticking up, making it easy to grab. If you've done it right, the uncreased page is being held away from the following page by the dog-ear that that one has.

    @mark said in Drone flight over Mt Everest: Love that consumer level products can achieve such quality. Impressed with how well the the little DJI handled the altitude and winds. Yep. What a great way to look for lost climbers at an altitude choppers can't reach.

    @jon-nyc Good to know. Can't predict the future, but man... next time rates are near zero for a decade, it would make sense to start buying I bonds for the inevitable inflationary period that we are in today.
