  • WTF Cookbook
    D Daniel

    @wtg said:

    Am recreating our WTF Cookbook! Will try to preserve as much history as possible. The Cookbook was originally started by ChickGrand on 8 July 2008....

    If you're looking for Thanksgiving recipes, here's a link back to groupee. Will move those recipes over here soon.

    There's a blast from the past.

    It used to be a standard bearer. Now it's only a puppet of its owner and his agenda.

  • BTS returns ...
    D Daniel

    Four years of aging for a boy band factors into the raison d'être for boy bands in popular culture.

    Having said that, they might have success. Presumably, they'll have some success.

    I just tried to watch one of their videos, but I couldn't make it past about 30 seconds.

    To each his own.

    The "boy band" I'm into now is Austin Malone in his prime. I missed the boat for 12 years. Today, he's aged out of his former ability to entertain. He's still active but almost unrecognizable.

    I'll have to disagree with you. Mail is vital. There are business and government letters that must be mailed.

    FedEx isn't going to deliver the mail to everyone, meaning every one. FedEx isn't going to mail for a nominal fee. Neither will happen five or six days a week, or ever.

    Privatization would screw every one. and be a detriment to the economy.

    Not every part of society was meant to be nor should be profit bearing, e.g. The Social Security Act and its constituent parts.

    They certainly know how to run one into the ground. If they had only left well enough alone.

    It reminds me of Social Security. Why fix a looming problem with an easy solution when you can stick your head in the sand like an ostrich.

    BYW, we had the best fish from the cleanest fishing grounds in Hawaii.

    That's one of the very few things I miss about living there.

  • Revenge of the Octopuses
    D Daniel

    I never ate an octopus and it's not on my bucket list.

    I know octopuses are being used akin to inanimate objects in scientific research.

    There are people who have made this their cause. I'm sympathetic but have no power over it and can't worry about everything.

    Fooled me. Brave new world where you have to look at every image and decide if it's real. In retrospect, it seems obvious.

  • 2015 built Orlando building cracks into pieces
    D Daniel

    @Steve-Miller said:

    That’s pretty crazy. I wonder what went wrong?

    That type of construction is pretty straightforward and hard to screw up.

    Leave it to Florida to screw it up.

    New built homes being built with a shocking lack of quality control are the rule not the exception here.

    There is a plausible theory that new built homes here are designed to fail before a 30 year mortgage can be paid off.

    I wouldn't believe it but I see it all the time. Oscar's razor says it's planned obsolescence.

    Builders here (and building in the state, I guess) have a scandalous reputation.

    They build the homes like matchsticks with things that can't be seen having clear patch up work (once you can look at it) and attract buyers with interior surfaces.

    This is their MO.

    I filter out "New Construction" every time I look at listings.

    Very much could be the case.

    From what I read it’s an apartment complex so they probably aren’t ruined.

    The building owners, on the other hand, probably are. While they in theory have a claim against the building developer the latter probably did the work under a single-purpose LLC and has already been dissolved.

    You are correct, jon.

    The same thing does happen with condo building, of course. And, yes, in those cases, owners are released from none of their financial responsibilities. Nightmare.

    No, they were released from official Israeli government sources. They still qualify as propaganda, though. I think it's very strange.

    Residents now homeless.

    I feel for these people but PSA-- do not buy in a condo building built in 2015.

    I won't consider one that's frame construction. Not only do you have quality issues but in Florida you have rot issues and the two can be related.

    These people are released from none of their financial obligations, btw.

    So, for many of them, their lives have been ruined.

    If it’s 33 out I’m going to tell Mayla it’s 0. Not 0.56.

    Props to both Big Al and you. You guys have impressive mathematical skills.

    I limit myself to using the notation-- "F" although I am sometimes lazy and use-- "°." I almost always use this notation out of respect for people who don't use this scale.

    I convert by using a conversion program after searching. I'm sure timeanddate.com has one.

    Unfortunately, they only have an app for Apple not for Android at this time.

    I'd just like to know why all this bizarre propaganda if he's alive?

    At this point I want legitimate proof, or I'll believe he's dead.

  • So about Greenland
    D Daniel

    I don't disagree but Denmark has agreed to everything the US has asked for since WWII. Americans consider this (yet more) belligerence and consider its source. You have to admit this one seems to want to rule over everywhere, over everyone, and over everything.
