      It’s be fun to see a primary with other Republicans throwing all this stuff against Trump.

      And losing.

      So according to you, it's perfectly fine if the bank allows its employees to offend csome of its customers, but it's not ok for those customers to do their business elsewhere...... they should just suck it up and take it....

      No, they can leave if they want. That's fine, it's really up to them.

      But I don't think they will. It's a lot easier to complain on the internet than it is to change banks.

      Yep. I think he was on it once.

      Hard to believe since it was his friggin plane.

      By "his", I'm referring to Epstein.

      By right, I'm assuming you meant their right.

      We are in a recession, and have been in one for a while now. Some shoes about to drop will make that clearer to those who say we arent..

      For example.... mortgage companies have been laying people off left and right for almost a year, and now a wave of mortgage company bankruptcies are about to hit. Real estate sales are slowing way down, housing prices are dropping as time on the market rises. Interest rates are rising... and at the worst possible time. I think we are about to see the housing market implode.

      By the way, that dinner was the night I decided I was gonna run that mama's boy off.

      I'm curious, how did you go about that?

      Overt hostility and intimidation.

      I think I've explained my attitude toward young male suitors before.

      It's starts from here - we hate you. Now, you might think you are in the clear because it couldn't get any worse, but you'd be wrong. It can get a whole lot worse. Do not try me.

      I would love to be the fly on the wall listening to this process.

      Eff that, I'd put that shit on YouTube and split the royalties with Mik. It would easily pay for Mik's defense attorney for whatever came next.

      What Kluurs wrote.

      Depends on your listening habits. Vinyl’s great so long as you have a system that brings out its best.

      I prefer digital. I don’t listen to music, I play music . Quality over speakers is not a big deal for me although the thirty some year old system I have is not at all shabby. I still keep my old Rega Planar 3 turntable in storage downstairs in case I want hook it up again someday. Hopefully the kid hasn’t shanked the needle and cartridge - although am sure the magnets in the cartridge are well beyond their best before date.

      What restaurants would you cite as bona fide examples of “5-star fine dining restaurants”?

      Per Se in New York. French Laundry in Napa.

      I wanted to make it there at some point and even put myself on a waitlist for reservations, but I never tried hard enough to get in.

      I ate there 20 years ago, and at per se when it opened. I doubt I’d get in either now.

      @George-K Goofy statement by her about too many people. I only did one long distance trip by Amtrak and that was in a sleeper car (thanks again George for all of your advice and help on that trip!!! 💓 ) but I do not think that they allow "standers" on the train, right?

      And maybe the amount of passengers helped cushion her as she bounced around. LOL

      @George-K From what I understand, their key idea - compared to a normal pulse oximeter - is to use light at many different wavelengths, and supposedly by comparing how much light is reflected at each wavelength they can infer the hemoglobin level.

      Also note that they are quite specific about the Bluetooth standard they are using. I'm glad that they don't use the outdated BT 3.0 and opted for BT 4.0. In any case, that seems to be more relevant than pesky details about how this "works".

      person of grievance

      A person of grievance.

      What is a person of grievance?

      It seems Ms. Clinton has invented this phrase.

      Google only finds 27 results, almost all are Ms. Clinton.

      It's standard leftist rhetoric to frame the other tribe as 'angry'. While they continually promote righteous rage against the other tribe.

      It makes about as much sense as when the left accuses the right of being snowflakes, while they try to reconstruct society around the principle of never hurting anybody's feelings.

      @89th said in Noob Phone Q:

      Yeah and it’s so old yours is only 6 digits!

      https://www.artlebedev.com/mandership/91/

      City telephone networks came into being and every phone set was assigned a number. Calling a subscriber would require giving his or her number to the hello girl.

      In 1910 the USA, then a country with the highest telephone penetration rate, numbered over 7 million subscribers, which compared to Russia’s 155,000. In the days of old an ordinary telephone number had four digits, while large cities used five-digit numbers. To reach a person beyond city bounds by phone, you would normally have to tell the operator the name of the city and a number. A telephone call used to be pre-ordered, which took some waiting.

      In the 1910s automatic telephone switches started to supersede hello girls who made connections manually. By the beginning of the First World War the USA had over 100 automatic telephone switches, Germany—7, Great Britain—2. Moscow saw the first automatic telephone switch installed not sooner than in 1924, and that one was in the Kremlin. The city automatic telephone switch started operation in 1930.

      How they did it

      Americans who were to encounter the problem of 7-digit numbers sooner that any other nation, found a mnemonic solution to the problem (it was generally believed back then that 7-digit numbers were hard to memorize): the first three digits were replaced with letters some word started with. For technical reasons no telephone number in the US started with 1. For historical reasons zero was always used to call the operator. As a result, any American telephone number could start with any figure but 1 and 0.

      Mnemonic rules were in use in London and Paris until mid-1960s. At first Americans adopted the LLL-NNNN format (three letters, four numerals). After becoming aware that it was running out of words beginning with the needed three letters, New York introduced the LLN-NNNN format in 1930 with all the other cities following suit in 1947–48.

      @Mik TOTALLY agree. Harry Brown used to say that if you take away guns from law-abiding people then only the unlawful will have guns.

      My point was to how pols indulge in their endless palavering during quote-unquote legislative proceedings about stuff that should be wrangled off site, if you will.

      But I get your point, that the questioner was trying to force the governor to concede a point. Which, yeah, good luck with that.
