Andy, I feel this way. Lol. Link to video

Define free speech? Freedom is limited and rightly so, to enable society to function. If someone writes or stands on the street shouting kill the... Monarch/Irish/Seeks/Nazis ... or says support this terrorist group, when our elected government has legally defined the group ... then the UK law & order protecting life will be imposed on the idiot.

Damn I always hated those shots. Felt more like a bee sting than a needle.

Kindergarten is pretty early for TAG programs. And I say this as a parent who had a kid in NYC TAG kindergarten, 30 years ago. It was great, but not all kids have access enrichment programs before kindergarten, and testing before kindergarten just reinforces the strong bias towards money.

@dolmansaxlil said in RIP Jane Goodall: I met her when I worked at a bookstore where she was doing a signing. How cool!

Reminds me of an Amish group that experienced a similar tragedy and did a similar act.

@Steve-Miller said in Recycling Australian Pianos: Maybe their salt and pepper shakers are really big?

@Rontuner Our enemies wish no harm to Trump.

@Steve-Miller TANSTAAFP ok I had to google, but yes. Exactly this.

@Rontuner said in Covid, again.: There seems to be a misconception about what the vaccine/boosters accomplish. They don't seem to keep you from catching Covid - but what they are really good at is keeping you from spiraling down into needing to go to the hospital. The jury still seem to be out as to whether additional boosters are needed to keep an infection from needing hospital care. "They don't seem to keep you from catching Covid...' I know that! Me and my wacky internet conspiracies. Lol.

I am wishing to, but I am not waiting... The next NO KINGS march is October 18th. I'm joining our local resistance group to find out what I can do.

Interesting. Here's the Rogan video mentioned in the article. I haven't watched it yet. Link to video

@Steve-Miller said in Socks: $19 for one pair of socks? Yikes! What makes them worth that? Apparently nothing. Reddit discussion, which pans Bombas quality and includes several enthusiastic votes for Darn Tough.... https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/comments/1eci2zf/everyone_keeps_recommending_bombas_socks_why_are/

@Bernard, congratulations on getting the new car! One little (really quite minor) disappointment is I can't hook up my iPod (I'm so old fashioned) with the usb cable like I could in my older car. It looks like bluetooth is the only option for connecting auxiliary devices. Yeah I noticed that with newer cars these days. USB is now "charging-only" in newer cars. Data functions have to go over Bluetooth.

@wtg Got home today! One more trip before I winterize the trailer and store it for the winter.

This lady may not have (yet) reached the other's age, but I LOVE her way of staying young and limber through YOGA. I used to do all those stretches with ease (and more), but never again since my spine was encased in a titanium armature. I suspect I have Ehler's Dehlers hypermobility Syndrome (the kind where you're extra stretchy). I thought it was enviable from Jr High on up, but not now. I think it was the result of that hereditary disorder - not my daily exercises. In those days they didn't check school-children for scoliosis and the like. Have a look. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/well/move/102-year-old-yogi-charlotte-chopin.html
