  1. I love the look of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Ive never owned one but years ago when I lived in FL my neighbor had one. Beautiful friendly dog, but it would always approach me from behind. I asked him about it once, and I dont know if its true, but he said that the breed was originally bred to hunt lions so they instinctually did that. Always made me a little nervous when I would walk by their house to go to the pier.
  2. I did the same. Im a routine driven animal so every day I make a point of getting up at the same time I always did, performing the 3 S's (sh!t/shower/shave), and logging in or going to work. Where Ive fallen down is in my physical activity and also now Ill take the occasional afternoon nap on my couch. I used to walk around the block a few times every day but then winter settled in and I said screw that. I think I put on ~12 pounds over the last year! Now that its warming up I think Ill start doing that again.
  3. Lol, so does mine. Luckily I have friends in low places and havent had to slum it by going to the hair cut places since Covid.
  4. Speaking of lotto, Ohio’s million-dollar idea: Lottery prizes for vaccinations. Sad that it has to come to that.
  5. I just fell down an Omni Man hole from that link.
  6. The butthurt is stronk with you. Im all aboard the UHC (and UBI) express!
  7. Dose 2 / Day 2: Ive been waiting all day for the other shoe to drop and...I feel fine. I even took my temperature just to see whats up and it was perfectly in range. Actually, my arm doesnt even hurt as much the first shot. Weird. I feel like Ive dodged a bullet. My wife got her second shot today so well see how she feels tomorrow. That makes the entire Gfted clan fully dosed up.
  8. Got my second shot today and so far, so good. No headache or fatigue. If I die, Ill see you all on the flipside. If I dont, I guess Ill be back later.
  9. NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity will head to new airfield today on 5th flight.
  10. I too had a good experience with tenants. When I got out of the military I rented out my very first starter home and after a few years they asked to buy it, so I sold it. But I didnt handle it myself, I hired a real estate company (I think it was Century 21), and at that time their services cost 10% of whatever the rent was. But for that price they always had a tenant in it and if anything needed fixing they would send over the appropriate trade. It was easy peasy and I simply set the rent amount to cover my mortgage and the 10% handling fee.
  11. What are you guys talking about? Thats a textbook example of a heroic "whistleblower" making the world aware of governmental misdeeds. A ticker tape parade should be thrown in her honor (with biodegradable confetti nats)!
  12. Ive never been able to replay a cRPG, even my beloved BG series, but Im probably a bit of an outlier. Im an unrepentant power gaming save scummer so Ill click through all of the conversation options while Im playing the first time (except evil). And since Im manually controlling a party of 5-6 different classes (some multi-classed), then I feel like I got to enjoy a good sample of the classes and abilities. So for me theres nothing really to be gained by a replay.
  13. Oh the sweet sweet irony. Considering the amount of money that the game made for CDPR (even after refunds), Im sure investors are lining up to throw money at them. "Gamers" can go cry in a hole.
  14. Crashed into a giant pile of money.
  15. Well, not the winners. But that seems to be the baked in excuse so I understand your point. Id like to think theres some middle ground between glacial and revolution.
  16. No, I dont have any distain for the people, I have distain for the process. While others feels its "working as intended", it pisses me off to no end that we cant find our ass with both hands. Almost nothing gets accomplished and what does takes years. And it seems more and more common for one side to try to "stick it to" the other side instead of working together towards goals. Ive also been around long enough to watch the pendulum of power swing back and forth so I dont really have a "side" (Dem or Rep). I just want the best possible human or AI to execute their duties.
  17. Well, they hilariously injected themselves into the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike.
  18. That makes me wonder...do flat-Earthers think all celestial bodies are flat, or just Earth?
