She does have a nice voice though. I believe that she grew up in a very french part of Quebec Canda and did not learn English until she was an adult.

@Renauda said in Beards: @Doctor-Phibes I agree. As my 15 year old would say, his face begs a swirly. Luckily, he has a personality to match

@Jolly No surprise, but you have more than a quart or two of savy about the O&G industry and how it works.

I don't know the calculation , but remember in grade school talking about this. In an average class (say 30 people), the odds are pretty good (much over 50%) that two people will have the same birthday. For three people having the same birthday, I dont know. I would guess maybe 250.

@jon-nyc I wasn’t aware of that. In fact it has been 27+ years since I read Battle Cry so my recollection of it is clouded by time. I actually bought my copy at a bookstore in Helsinki when I was there for a few days to decompress after several months straight in Yeltsin’s wild Western Siberian oil and gas extravaganza. I ought to reread it just reacquaint myself with the author’s historiography.

Let’s petition to get “Commander” canceled just to fuck with the Redskins.

I’ve really ramped up my use of paying with my watch and phone over the last year or so. I’ve whittled my wallet down to a magnetic one with 3 cards that I stick on the back of my phone when I leave the house. I want my car key built into my phone too. I like empty pockets.

She was hired as T&A. She filled her role admirably.

Sick. And not in the slang sense.

I drop every piece on the floor and roll to make sure it is square and level.

Exactly.

“not human”? Relax, I think I heard a few places where Ms. Wang got sloppy, thus affirming her humanity. Of course, none of this detract from her enormous talent and likely superhuman dedication to her art.

@taiwan_girl said in Trump’s advice for U.S. Jews: To me, US Jewish person DOES NOT automatically equal 100% support for Isreal just like Black person DOES NOT automatically equal 100% support for Democrat Of course there is no expectation of lockstep opinions. (I mean except for the left’s expectation of lockstep for any given intersectional label). The issue in need of addressing, is when a person invokes their heritage as a personal reason for feeling a certain way, but the way they feel is at odds with the mainstream viewpoint of that heritage. It’s not impossible that one’s heritage is a reason for any given viewpoint, but it needs some explanation if your lived experience of that heritage leads you to one conclusion, while the lived experience of most others of that heritage, leads to a different one. There is a chance that these people are using their heritage as a cheat code to express an opinion that cannot be questioned by those who don’t have that heritage. When the opinion actually has nothing to do with their heritage. Shhhh. That’s a secret cheat code, please don’t tell anybody about it. Word might get out, and people who use it might begin to seem like douches.
