And...she's right. WE LOVE YOU, YOU'VE ENRICHED OUR LIVES, NOW GET THE F--K OUT OF HERE.

@LuFins-Dad said in I think it's closer to 15%: @Doctor-Phibes said in I think it's closer to 15%: The nasty problem with food inflation being so high is that it proportionally affects the poor considerably more than the better off, since a larger percentage of their total expenditure is food. Saxophone prices OTOH seem to be pretty much fixed at this point, so I'm going to tell Mrs. Phibes I'm actually saving us money with my intended new purchase later this year. As an added benefit, she gets to hear me play, which will put her off her food, saving even more money! Mark VI? God no, I'm getting a new one. Probably Yanagisawa. Selmer's are over-priced.

If there was EVER a thread to get CrashTest to return, it would be this one.

It's interesting how quickly latent homophobia surfaces when the intended victim is on the other team, so to speak.

@Axtremus said in Fortune: It‘s going to get bad for Europe: In the UK, are most mortgages fixed rate or variable rate? I think they're mostly variable rate - they certainly were when I lived there. I remember back in the early 90's before I bought a house they were up around 14%, and once they increased twice in one day.

Plays to his base.

@Doctor-Phibes said in 30,000: @Jolly said in 30,000: Well, something must be right. Folks are trying to get in, not out... It's a cheap way to get to Rwanda Will they issue them weapons?

Yes! It's time to get apples here, too. Absolutely love fresh apples from along the Mississippi River. Best ever! Fresh Pie Fresh Oatmeal Fresh Pie Fresh Coffee cake Fresh Oatmeal Fresh Etc. Etc. Etc.

I made the alternate recipe this evening. A bit on the salty side, but very very good. It's a keeper.

@jon-nyc said in Did it: @Copper said in Did it: I assume that is associated with the Falmouth Road Race. That used to be a great party, it has been a while since I have attended. Pretty sure it’s different. The Falmouth Road Race is a big deal in that part of the world. It was in August. I knew they had a Fall race too, I thought it happened in September, but I just checked it is November 6.

@Renauda said in "Welcome Citizen": Why not? They granted Soviet citizenship to Kim Philby. I am sure Snowden has a good job with either the GRU or FSB. No fear of being drafted, that’s for sure. QFT

I am DOWN!!!

Oh definitely. Could've been your house!

Like maybe I’m biased, should acknowledge my race, privilege, or something, but how the heck would a race-corrected 02 sat monitor help in situations of sickle cell, shunting anatomy, the near dead popsicle toes, all that? Like WTF is it with this word “systemic racism” and supposedly educated people?

Priceless!
