Interesting, but they have to leave a gap to turn the ties. Wonder what they do at the end.

@Mik said in For Aqua: I don’t know that it’s serious poetry, but a great expression of an idea. He let the restrictions he chose always drive the writing, never the other way around. So, I'd consider it legit. It's not Virgil, but it's poetry. Hmm. When I wrote this autocorrect changed know to Lenore. Poe-tic.

Yep. There are a whole lot of conditions that occur with age and have not a thing to do with lifestyle.

@Horace said in Regional accent question: When the aliens come in search of the least interesting question ever posed, this thread will draw them right to us. I see that as an existential threat to our community. Ok I lol'd.

Bitter, bitter, bitter.

Yep. Ever meet a smart Demonrat?

They're fling the mud as fast as they can, aren't they? Nothing like a combined, orchestrated effort.

@George-K LOL There are good reasons to have just one. The same is true for having more than one wife or girlfriend, or any multiple thereof. Lots of extra work to do that.

@LuFins-Dad I’m hanging my head in shame for the time I posted the “people of Walmart” link….

@Aqua-Letifer excellent.

@taiwan_girl said in 59 years ago: I think they are in the piles of stuff that President Trump has in Florida JFK Junior has them. Q told me.

Lad, your flu shot is only about 30% effective (or thereabouts).

But you can still tell that it’s sexist because they show the girl smiling a lot more than the boy.

But on the other hand, a false negative is really no worse than not testing at all. Really no downside to testing. It will catch some people who are positive, even if only a small amount. (Having said that, I am among large gatherings and do not test any more)

No doubt an 80 year old Indiana Jones will save the world again. It’s Hollywood propaganda to make you feel better about having an 80 year old President.

I spent a couple of days with our large animal vet in Wisconsin. He always told me that cows are smarter than horses. "If a horse gets tangled in some barbed wire fencing he'll struggle like crazy until he bleeds out or gets too exhausted to fight. A cow will just stand there, knowing that, eventually, someone will show up to set it free."

@jon-nyc said in Fired for being white: Right, but the explicit racial element here makes it different. That's true. They explicitly said that his race is an issue. I wonder what his lawyers think.
