When you’re on track to lose you might be tempted to take any high volatility play. But in two weeks, when it’s over, what you’ve decided is what kind of man you are. And that lasts long after the election. [image: IMG_4889.jpeg]

Putin and his GOP and AfD bitches want peace in Ukraine like Ben Gvir and Smotrich want peace in Gaza. They really do want peace, but on terms that would be devastating to the locals.

@Mark said: @Daniel These look amazing. I bet they sound great. https://tmraudio.com/products/cary-audio-design-cad-211fe-monoblock-tube-power-amplifiers 10k off 20k retail?! Wow. I might have paid $1,200 for mine.

Link to video This is so stupid. Assertion- They survived the plane crash. Argumentum ad nauseam Maybe these random pieces of shoe leather and whatever else have nothing to do with the crash. Maybe (and there is no evidence of it) they are part of the debris field. Argumentum ad nauseam everywhere you look. Then you get to their imagined survival. This is a mystery. I'd like to know the answer- assuming for the sake of argument they survived the crash- How many days or even hours did they survive on a remote atoll, exposed to the elements, with no food, and no drinking water? Yes, they were heros. Yes, they should be honored. Stop making money off the tragedy, and let them RIP.

just yesterday I signed up for a voucher program that our local transportation agency offers to seniors/geezers. if you are over 65 you can get a $60 monthly credit for any Uber rides starting and ending in our city. OK, not totally life-changing money, but it makes my monthly round-trip to the airport free and that’s kind of fun.

Yeah, good on Leslie Stahl. And Bari Weiss? Urgh.

Yes, they were aristocrats, weren't they?

Thank you all for your concern! I’ll get the knee taken care of as soon as I can.

I’ve never had coconut crabs but from what I hear they itch like hell.

@AndyD / It certainly is.

Welcome to the club! I go through phases with my regular coffee making process and switch every few months from Aeropress to Pour Over. I always start the day with a double espresso.
