Yes. Joe took out himself and whoever replaces him, and possibly the Democratic party itself. NO WAY Trump can lose now, and if they put up Kopmala it will be an epic sweep. I will eat these words with a mustard sandwich if somehow the Dems win, but I'm feeling pretty safe, tbh.

I always fly with protection, you just don't know where that plane has been. Might even be a 737, yeck.

PS5/Xbox is going through the worst generation of console gaming since NES came out. Box office is in a similar slump. Mostly garbage gameplay that isn't fun, and remakes. Still feels like the PS5 generation hasn't even kicked off.

I have been seriously thinking about going back to just playing Super Nintendo, now that was a good time, don't think there's been any system that brought me as much entertainment since SNES. I should check out ROMhacks and homebrews.

I play multiple woodwinds, including recorder. Kids aren't taught how to play it right and the recorders they give the kids are kinda junky so they sound bad. The recorder is a quiet instrument, one doesn't "blow" through it, they touch it to their lips and exhale, least amount of air to sound the note is always the right way to play it, it fell out of favor because it's dynamic range is so limited.

This one is one of the best, and I've tried nearly all of them since they are so cheap:

Recorder is a gateway to other woodwinds, flute, saxophone, and clarinet, in particular.

When I was young, boxelder bugs used to come stick to the houses in the fall seeking a warm spot--hundreds of them. Haven't seen them in over 20 years. Also, used to have tons of milkweed, grasshoppers of all species, crickets and other insects all night long, and butterflies and bees galore.

Now it seems, all we have is mosquitos and flies.

When I retire, I'm moving North so I can try to live in a similar climate as my youth, maybe eastern Montana or western North Dakota.

Nah, no splurges, just dried beans and rice from the bulk bins. Sometimes you gotta pick up small stones, but that's the cost of freedumb. Oh yeah, canned corn was 3 for a dollar with a coupon, so I got some of that the other day, makes a decent addition to my rice and bean soup.

He's wrong. The U.S. was full of genocidal maniacs in the military leadership and Presidency throughout the cold war. In fact, War criminal Eisenhower threatened to nuke China in the first Taiwan Straight Crises, which led to China building their own nuclear weapons to avoid being pushed around, making the world that much less safe. If you really want to know how bad things were, the leaked Pentagon papers is a good place to start.

It's a miracle that we didn't have a world-ending nuclear holocaust.

This is animal abuse. That poor cat, torn from it's lovely farm life and all its family, to be thrust into a high stress living situation with those abusive dogs. Just terrible. kitty-cri-texas

This is really good, because it might open the door to additional lawsuits against public officials.

Conspiracy to advance US interests: It was a cyber attack by state actors that led to the ship malfunction.

Conspiracy to blame Captain of the Port as a scapegoat so US won't admit fault: Captain of the Port didn't mandate use of harbor tugs for moving past the bridge (it should be a regulation, that its not is ridiculous).

Conspiracy theory to advance private economic interests: Like 9-11, it's better to take out skyscrapers and critical infrastructure using accidents so the public bears the costs rather than the owners.
