Yeah…. Mmmmmmmmmm

CDC says masks again vaccinated or no. Well… I am NOT going to do it. But then again I’m NOT going out in public either so it’s ok.

You were spot on the money on that observation. That thousand dollars a month of UBI will be meaningless when it has a quarter of the purchasing power.

If you’ve been watching the news in the United States you would be under the impression that violent crime is exploding across the country. Particularly in the big cities. Maybe it is. I couldn’t say for sure. Don’t care enough to do any research. Of course some folks are associating the rise in crime with the “defund the police” movement. Again possibly true but I don’t care enough to actually research it. But I do know a couple of stories have surface lately where certain mayors in politicians have been spending lavishly of the tax payers money on private security. All while talking the talk about defunding the police. I don’t know if they’re actually defunding the police or not, again don’t care. But this was interesting Former US senator Barbara boxer assaulted and robbed in Oakland fortunately she wasn’t hurt. But apparently even a former US senator is not safe. Hell will freeze before you ever again see me in a city larger than Covington. And as for crime, well I seriously doubt anyone’s going to go looking in the sticks for houses to break into. It’s generally accepted that is an unhealthy activity to say the very least.

Study indicates Chinese made vaccine stops working after six months. Well… all I can say is if you’ve ever bought anything from Harbor Freight this will not surprise you!

if you’re under 40 you don’t know what you missed!

It’s definitely my third favorite country in the world.

Water vapor detected in the atmosphere of Ganymede this would be a bigger deal if the hypothetical water of Ganymede was not so far below the surface. Ganymede would actually be a pretty compelling target for future probes. It’s only 2/3 the size of Mars but has equivalent gravity. Europa is still our best shot of finding liquid water

I got to go there for a year. All expenses paid. Free room and board.

I’ve had a serious craving for Japanese food lately. There’s no good Japanese places within 500 miles of here. In fact the last place I got good food was actually in Japan. Sometimes I wish I was sitting on the wood picnic tables outside Mi House at the foot of Mt Futenma on Okinawa eating a big plate of Yaka Soba and sashimi and drinking a big steel can of Orion.

All of the Star Trek shows do need a few seasons to “hit their stride” so to speak. I didn’t really like any of the first episodes when I first saw them. DS9 I didn’t think much of when I saw the premiere episode but now when I rewatch it I think it’s really good. Maybe because as a younger man at the time I couldn’t really identify with Sisko. Now that I’m older and life has kicked me in the gut a few times I found him much more sympathetic. But the trend on Star Trek usually is to start week and finish strong(ish) BSG was the opposite. The miniseries was outstanding. The very first episode of the show, 33, was arguably the best of the whole run. By the end of season 1 when Adama was shot they had me eating out of their hand. season two did not disappoint either. Then after New Caprica it lost its way with the “final five” nonsense. The Starbuck death and resurrection made no sense. Oh my god when a show or a movie series kills off a character please just leave them in the ground. Looking at you Star Wars. Resurrecting dead characters is almost as lame as time travel.

Florida Man thinks he’s a badass, shoots himself accidently

Agree 100%. BSG fell flat with the “final five” business. Oh they were right here in front of us all along, ugh. All downhill from there. And time travel is a crutch for weak writing. It wasn’t my intention to subvert the conversation with late run show writing failures. It is curious to me how many shows just can’t seem to “bring it in for a landing “ . I have long since lost interest in The Walking Dead. But I believe their finale is coming up. Curious to see if they can pull it off.

I’m curious, did everybody like the way the Star Trek shows ended? TNG the last episode aimed high but missed. But the last scene at the poker table was nice. DS9 went the other way. A good ending episode with a closing sequence that just fell short for me. Voyager was ok. A vanilla milkshake. Enterprise was a rushed mess because it was.

I could say the exact same thing for Game of Thrones. Yeah the BSG ending was weak. But nowhere near as nonsensical as GOT season 7 & 8. But let’s face it it’s really hard for a TV show to stick the landing. In fact I can only think of a few that ever did. MASH and Cheers definitely did. I’ve never seen breaking bad. At least not anything past season one. I heard it ended pretty well.

One Blue Heeler vs two coyotes. Just reading their body language the dog is having the time of his life. It’s all a game to him. The two coyotes are genuinely afraid.

The science behind “The Adama Manuver” on BSG The short of it is there is none. This shows scientific advisor told the producers this would never work. Nothing about it works. But do it because it’s going to be cool! It was.

Jackie Mason

Introducing the “love America” act So the idea is to counter propagandist indoctrination with propagandist indoctrination? Let me know how that works out.

May God protect us from ever having one of those.

US Marine Corps experimenting with drones launched from grenade launchers it’s too bad we didn’t have cool stuff like this back when I was in. When we wanted to find out what was going on over the next hill we had to send somebody to look. And it was usually somebody we figured we could do without LOL

Wow… that’s was… ummmm…. Quite a bit darker than we usually get on the humor thread. So….

Trump insert himself into the Cleveland Indian‘s name change. please, make it stop. Most ex-president go into a quiet and dignified post presidential career. That was a little too much to hope for from him. I wonder if he is even aware all of the baseball teams that have changed their names over the years.
