About the time I think my industry is dangerous I hear stories about office jockeys with their bodies falling apart and wonder if risking my fingers is better or worse than some of the medical stuff you white collar guys go through. It's definitely dangerous, in the long run, to sit in a chair all ...

Hopefully this is hyperbole. Right?

I hope it's hyperbole, but it sounds like reality. That's really tough.

That's the shortcoming of all these costumes. The ties are supposed to hang at least 10 inches below the jacket. The guy with the facial hair comes closest to the correct color.

Reps Cory Mills and Byron Donalds from Florida, Gov. Doug Burgum from South Dakota and Vivian Ramaswarthy, flanking House Speaker Mikey's Johnson, showed up yesterday for Trump's NYC trial, all wearing the same Trump costume from Rickey's Greenwich Village Costume Superstore in support of their demi...

Rack Fu was somewhere in Texas wasn’t he? I don’t see any grass clippings in the street but he’s prolly going nuts anyway.

Fell pretry hard this morning. Water on the floor after my shower, it happened fast. Don't think anything is broken but bruised and sore now. Y'all be safe Be careful. Accidental falls in the home are one of the leading causes of injury to our older citizens, often leading to long term disabilities...

At least, as usual, you continue to excel at mischaracterizing other people’s posts. For some reason I was under the impression that you were looking for a rational discussion but, when presented with some realistic challenges, you just get all defensive and completely exaggerate what I posted. OK s...

While this sounds great in concept it’s not nearly that simple and, taken to this extreme, it would result in almost immediate disaster. You need infrastructure to support whatever is built. This includes transportation, utilities (electricity, gas, water, sewer, etc), proximity to available servic...

Doesn’t this belong in the Murder of Crows thread?

I think his mother may be part of the phenomenon that laments and regrets not staying on the pill.

You just need to build as many units as possible. 90% of America is zoned to single family housing, even in the most in demand and dense locations in the country. It's a wasteful and inefficient use to public resources. All in the name of racism and traffic. Allow property owners to build three or ...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But he comes off as a self righteous jerk. Especially his attitude towards women and their role.

Apparently his mother is an accomplished physicist, so maybe he has some mommy problems. Just surmising.

Mikey

Seems like a noble endeavor. The problem here in California (yes I admit that we have some problems and it's not a perfect nirvana) is that everyone agrees that we need to build more affordable housing, but nobody wants it in their neighborhood. A couple of cities here in north San Diego County are ...

Foster Brooks was a master. The best. First stand-up comedy show I ever saw live. He did a USO show at the radar site where I was stationed in the Philippines. Was pretty much a teetotaler, too. I saw Cheech and Chong at a small theater in ‘72 or ‘73. The combination of some dirt weed and a half pi...

“Shut up and kick the ball.” Sin, Laura Ingram…not Ingraham’s comments were far different from her reaction to other professional athlete’s political statements. When NBA star LeBron James spoke out against former President Trump in 2018, Ingraham infamously told him to “Shut up and dribble.” https:...

Apparently it’s now been leaked to the press that he was carrying at least 14 graphite constructed “assault weapons” in his trunk, which hypothetically could be used as dull attack swords. (Tiger Woods could likely testify in the public’s defense, as he once faced an attacker who donned one of thes...

We were living in Henderson when the tower was built. We almost could see it from our house. It took over three years to complete. Many delays. There was a fire at the top when it was partially completed, like a big candle. They had to do a lot of testing to ensure that the structural steel and conc...

Richard Pryor, one of the funniest comedians ever (IMHO) could get “blue” sometimes but didn’t need to. And he could get down and dirty without the language. George Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on TV was one of the funniest bits. Sure, it was for us. But for say, those under 30 these days? Ki...

Look at your own chart. Up until 2022, when your measure suddenly spiked, Not my chart. You're doing that politics thing again. Sorry, the chart from NBER that you are using as the basis of your argument. Is that better? You keep referring to the information from WaPo, but it's not from WaPo - that...

It was November. Six months ago. So we agree it was 10%. I had February in my brain for some reason and I was wrong. This isn't something we need to argue over. I recant. Let's talk about November. At that time, the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculated inflation at 3.1% using the modern method. To...

Interesting, and very academic. On first glance I'm getting that there are many ways of looking at inflation and many components, and differences of opinion on how to conflate them. I can't disagree with that. Again, my original post on this was in direct response to poptart's post on a single one o...

I never said that inflation doesn't hurt. You're changing the subject again. At least try to be honest. The WaPo was reporting numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, not created by the newspaper's evil editorial board. You can get that from just about any financial news reporting servi...

LOGIC dictates that if as you say, we are the largest exporters of crude worldwide, we would NEVER EVER have depleted our strategic oil reserves.

We cannot endure another 4 years of this administration’s fiscal ineptitude. What’s the solution? I haven’t a fucking clue. Become the world supplier of energy. As soon as the left took over, they scrapped everything. They actually used the strategic oil reserves. Reversed every policy from the tru...
