Dry

Republicans seem to believe that the bad consequences will not affect them.

@wtg Seems to be, "Our product will kill us all." Not the best sales pitch and unusual coming from the seller. I tend to believe things like that.

@wtg That is what the data centers are for, i.e. all the details of your life and those in your family. They need that why?

@jon-nyc I don't disagree. I just think the military budget is absurd. Not that voters have any control over it.

Nice. What else would you expect. My issue would be I'm using my phone in public constantly and with a folding phone, I have the added step of unfolding and folding, or I have train myself how to use the phone with apps when it's folded, while not trying to break the phone or loose it. I couldn't do it.

And there's a rule about not using proper nouns? That's not fun. A word is a word.

I bet they were just glad not to be trekking.

I can see it, Chas.

Belated Birthday Greetings, kluurs! Many happy returns of the day.

I thought this was going to be about fractals (Julia sets).

Never heard it. I need to give it a listen.

BTW, I've bought: 22" diamond cut, oval links, sterling silver, 2.5 mm. Italy? Maybe. Forgot. I don't take it off. And I wear it with a pendant. A couple things good and bad. Many people say 22" is the perfect chain length for men. This is my first 22" chain and I agree. I've tried 18 mm, 24 mm, and 26 mm. 22 mm doesn't get in your way, isn't too short, and is perfect for adding pendants IMO. This is what you see mainly with men's chains and have for decades. I want a "long chain" but the one I want is made by my favorite Cartier and cost 20k. Ok, the bad. IMO diamond cutting is a cheap trick. They machine grooves in the links to reflect light. That's bad enough. This process also creates countless hard edges when the links feel better when they're smooth. Pendant. Silver. Hallmark. UK. Funny thing is it didn't list the exact size or I missed it. It's tiny. It's beautiful if it looks like the pictures but I can't see (or not see) what the pictures show with my reading glasses. So, $25 + $10. I'm glad I got the sizing right finally. Ok, this one is good. It's a bracelet that hasn't arrived from Türkiye yet. $175. My limit for now. You never know when you order something until you see it but I think I'm going to like this one a lot. I haven't worn a bracelet. I've wanted a discreet, minimalist one for a long time. Byzantine link, 2.5mm. The history of Byzantine Empire interests me a lot as I've mentioned. (BTW, I want three made by hand in Greece silver jewels: a ring, a necklace, and a pendant. $400 + $400 + $200 = $1k Yeah, no. That's how price points jump from factory jewelry to jewelry made by artisans although to be sure people make nice jewelry at very low price points, things like stone bead bracelets, etc.

@RealPlayer said: It must be hard to render faces frontally on coinage because of the way the nose projects outward. I think that’s why they’re traditionally done in profile. Can you imagine doing Washington’s nose frontally? OMG! I wish I could have seen Diana's profile on coins.

My interface is still tiny but the page doubling effect and constant sign in requests are gone today.
