Only skimmed through the video, but just go to Northern Virginia and you'll find plenty of "camping" under highway ramps. These influencers really sell it too. They're there year round and even grow out a great homeless look.

I would hope not!

But selfies can be dangerous!

Old people fall.

Hopefully he doesn't have any comorbidities and he'll recover uneventfully.

What are the number of users for each service?

@jon-nyc said in 16% Inflation:

They make up their own index. If you do that you can make inflation whatever you want it to be.

Are they using the same index that was used in 1980?

According to the graph, we’ve been running at high inflation rates the last 40 years and the current increase is only a slight increase and not a nearly 300% increase.

Still, the 16% rate does match the numbers that the Agricultural Board put out the other day…

@Mik said in Sod Off:

You can say you are whatever you want. Just don't expect me to respect it or participate.

I feel much the same way about interest rates.

I think the ruling is good, but it sure shows a few in the majority are fair-weather textualists at best.

My guitar setup guy is a believer in the Electric Universe. I keep going back, a little more frequently than needed, just to hear the stories.

Throw me in the briar patch, Brer Jon.

@Jolly If it's even still available, what Mik recommended is all he really needs. I haven't used anything except the Microsoft security apps that are built-in to Windows 10 for many years now. I was done having the other products slow my machine down and getting zero benefit from it.

I think it was the History Channel that had a series called WWII in color. Rather than "colorizing" the B&W film, they sought out actual color footage from WWII.

As @Klaus says, it really changes the way you see things.

Wow. What is the saying? "The Greatest Generation"

@jon-nyc said in Give 'em hell, Neil.:

Having SCOTUS decide what the “real” religions are doesn’t seem very first amendment-y.

You're imagining a supreme court judgment which accepts satanism as a true religion, and rejects its practice on school grounds based on separation of church and state?

I don't suppose your local Christians would object to organized Satanism on school grounds based on the principle of church and state separation. They'd probably object based on the principle that satanism is destructive to the social fabric, and all that. Which would eventually run afoul of various laws, one assumes.

At least I'm not a Falcons fan. ☺

@Jolly said in His next ex-wife?:

And they will be. For awhile.

Yup. There's a shelf life for that sort of thing.
