We did it from 81-89, so why not.

Its not what you know, its who you know. Trust me.

Food Thread - What are you eating?
Not a fan, I think I can count on one hand the times Ive said "mmm, good cornbread". It always seems dry to me and I like it moist. How is it intended, dry or moist?

Strike Three... the 2021 Baseball Thread
Luckily for Giants fans, Alex was not asked to leave. When I first glanced at the headline I thought the poor thing got hit by a foul ball.

That, and my complete lack of skill while executing the move.

Some mornings, when Im working from home but my wife is going into work, Ill do a little jig for her in the garage as shes backing down the driveway. Todays routine was the floss...and it did not go well. Hysterical giggling could be heard as she motored away.

Its the times we live in. Also see the state of mind thread for a clear examples of how people consume their "facts" via social media posts that confirm their bias, and then regurgitate them as facts around the world. If thats as far as a person will research, then you cant expect much. Mobs gonna mob.- The State of Mind in the US
My memory is a little foggy, but I didnt pay anything (or very very little) for the birth of my child.- New Scientific Discoveries, Part Drei
NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity will attempt its 2nd flight Thursday. "According to Aung, the images from Ingenuity's second flight should begin to arrive at approximately 9:21 a.m. EDT (1321 GMT)."- The State of Mind in the US
Theres probably a Reddit thread about it, but one thing you absolutely do not want to happen to you in the US, and I cannot stress this enough, is to get bitten by a venomous snake. The price of anti-venom is so astronomical they will just come over, put your house on jacks, and tow that thing right off the foundation.- Housing Market
Its interesting to compare the "new housing starts" from 1968-2021. In my case, the early-mid 90's seems worse or equivalent to today, but Im sure youre right about the geographic location being a big factor.- Housing Market
No need for nuclear missiles or scawy Russian tsunami torpedoes, global warming is past the "tipping point". But I realize that Im the dinosaur in the room and I think things have changed in the real estate market. Back in my day, my first home was what was coined a "starter home". It was modest, a simple 3BR / 2Bath ranch style, in a quiet suburb of FL. I sure as hell didnt have the full down payment so I had to get PMI. Anywho, fast forward a few years, and property appreciates as property do, and when I sold it I made a nice profit, which I was able to apply to a nicer house. Rinse and repeat. But maybe such opportunities no longer exist or are too far away from their desired location?- Housing Market
A different coastline is on the way. A wise investor should buy up properties a little inland and then in a couple decades they will be able to leave their descendants beachfront property. Follow me for more tips.- The State of Mind in the US
Youve got it exactly wrong, yet again. Those are the only things I need to worry about. The rest of the world can form a queue and Ill get to you as my interest and resources permit. UHC! UHC! UHC! and UBI!- Gun control - murderer control?
Whoa, some old names in this thread. As to your topic, to legally purchase a weapon, I think we need to incorporate some kind of psychological exam. But theres no realistic way to comb someone social media posts. Of course that does nothing to control the sales of illegal guns but its a start.- A Fifth of Coronavirus
That would definitely expedite things around here. But seriously, Illinois comes in at 26.41% of the population being fully vaccinated.- Obituary thread

^Gatekeeping? Do those countries require a person to show their vaccination card before being admitted into a public place? The US doesnt.- rANDom vIdeo gaMe nEws
Sony Reverses Course, Will Continue Selling PS3 and Vita Games After All.- The State of Mind in the US
Since the goalposts have shifted from a "simple checkup" to trying to purchase IIlludium PU-36 to treat dear old gramgram's Nth stage cancer, then I can get on board this sentiment. Its a graphic example that illustrates the clear need for UHC. I for one am tired of our birthrights being trampled by the fatcats.- New Scientific Discoveries, Part Drei
NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity takes off on historic 1st powered flight on another world.- The State of Mind in the US
Sick people are infinitely more expensive than healthy people. True story.- rANDom vIdeo gaMe nEws
This made me curious so I looked up the PS3, which was released in 2006. Can it be assumed that this battery has at least a 15 year lifespan? So the PS5 would be looking at potential failure ~2036? - The all things Political topic -In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
