Whether you agree or disagree with what Gov. Abbot and Gov. Desantis are doing, they are definitely increasing the conversation about immigration, which is a good thing.

@George-K Sure, see how it shakes out. If CBS refuses entry at the airport it’s the airlines responsibility to return them back to their point of departure from the US. Airlines know this and will probably refuse boarding from the US at the start. In any case the law in question normally pertains to passengers showing up at a land border. As you can imagine, there are a lot of those.

I always buy my steaks the day I’m going to cook them.

@George-K I only learned of it recently myself from none other than an interview podcast with Stephen Kotkin. I have no reason to doubt it as factual given the source and what I do know of Putin’s subsequent actions. Here is the podcast on YouTube. If I recall correctly Kotkin makes the statement in last 45 minutes of the interview. FWIW, the whole 2.5 hour presentation is well worth listening. Kotkin’s analyses of global affairs involving Russia and China never disappoints. https://m. Link to video

College has had it for awhile.

Better or worse than her taste in men?

@Doctor-Phibes Maybe Trump was upset that he lost the bid to lease out one of his bankrupt vacant commercial properties or venues to the store the documents.

@Horace Like I said, it is all about Aboriginals Red Indians up here. Nothing and nobody else matters.

I would imagine that the President of Earth in 400 years would know all kinds of sciencey things.

I have watched it more than once on either Amazon or Netflix. I assume it will come around again. Commercials? No way.

Awesome.

China tried and failed so far has not succeeded. Let Vietnam compete. I look forward to seeing their vehicles.

Before I graced the world with my advent (IOW, before I was born), my parents and his parents organized a splendid feast featuring roast pheasant. Everyone was salivating. They weren't rich, and this was a big treat. The table was ready. Before everyone sat down and were 0ut of the room Duke, Dad's English setter, went paws up and snagged the bird and dragged it down to the floor and ate it. Much hullabaloo. That exhausts my pheasant stories.

@Jolly said in Restoration: Wonder why not use Bondo on the gouge? Getting the stain and color to match would be a bitch, not to mention the grain. It would be obvious that you're trying to hide a defect. So, rather than hide it, make it a "feature."
