I'm curious.
Please see my "Saving Seals" (sic) post about my Alma Mater.
I also went to UF for a year and HCC for two years.
I graduated from MS in NY and HS in FL.
If you went to HS, dropped out at 16, went to school learn a trade like my father, anything... I'd like to hear about it.
I would link my other thread to this one but I have to run.
Well, I'm on 5G with a major carrier in my bedroom in the urban core of the 23rd largest US Metro and I have 1 bar now, and my phone at this time not connected to WiFi (or should we be expected to pay for WiFi to have reliable phone service?) is working and not. I could turn the WiFi on but then what's the point of mobile service?
I'm on the flattest land mass on earth. There is no inclement weather.
Good luck to everyone in the US about to be screwed by the FCC for the nth time.
How did we lose Air Force One?!
I would pack up and leave.
I'd stand up. I'd smile.
I'd say I'm leaving. Excuse me. Goodbye.
This channel-
You can call it labeling it you want but I'm loving it.
The Gen X owner is so deadpan.
The "millennials" - self-identified- ranting about Gen X, whose short video clip he chooses, are so ignorant, entitled, arrogant, stupid, and clueless.
I'm reading this thread carefully when I have time to concentrate.
I will say that oral communication among humans, later recorded by symbols, is at the root of all of human society and culture.
The fact that the educational system is being destroyed- by design- should make any rational person pause, IMO.
I've decided to use the British- "... ... ... ."
in place of the American convention-
"... ... .... ."
I don't see how the Americans decided on this one. It seems impractical and arbitrary.
I'm 1/2 way to changing my mind about using the UK and European (and others?)-
[Date of the month] [Abbreviation of the month]
I can't use it on formal papers.
I might start using it for everything else.
I think it's far better.
The date should come first because it's the first thing to change.
You shouldn't need to remind yourself 30 times in a row before you need to scan for the date and double check it.
It's distracting.
I'm considering using the writers' convention of the writer interviewing herself, hisself, one's self...
The only reason I haven't done it other than rarely is it seems to make people upset.
This isn't a valid reason not to do it. It isn't even a reason.
Is it a 'safe space'? (Sort of kidding)
I don't think so myself unless you're traveling in a pack.
@jodi I remember your posts about Costco. Yikes.
Btw, speaking of warehouse stores, I have an acquaintance who got crushed and mangled by a loading door at Publix. He couldn't work after this.
I just want a 'human scale'.
My house is a huge, heavy, structure with a cathedral ceiling.
This means my bedroom ceiling is 12'.
This is 4' higher than my bedroom in my old place.
I feel very comfortable with it, but it's talking to get used to...
My favorite Martha Stewart quote (during one of her K Mart adds)-
"Think of your back your backyard as a living room with a very high ceiling".
That's ok. The Florida choices have been non-existent since before DeSantis.
This was a Democrat state when I was born in '67 until the election in 2000.
A little birdie told me.
I imagine it would be like having small earthquakes in your apartment, while trying not to vomit, while listening to the structure of the building move against each other in ways building shouldn't, while wondering if you would have water day to day, to know knowing if your water was leaking behind your walls, or if it might start leaking behind your walls tomorrow.
These buildings were built for living.
They were built for money laundering.
The funny thing is I don't like fantasy or romance. And it's not what you might think. Aesthetics are in my wheelhouse. Adult themes are in my wheelhouse. Though, yes, part of it is the impression the performers make on me, as it should be.
I can't explain it. It's a new one for me. I think it boils down to timing. I think this is especially true of older people. I think you can carry a mental block for a long time, and your understanding and appreciation might be unlocked suddenly one day and be gone.
I think this happens as people age and happens more frequently as a person enters into old age.
Kill switches triggered on road at speed without consent, warning, or an option in the moment for the driver.
It's already happening in the US and UK.
I don't care what any US federal government document says/ contains.
These are anecdotal accounts but if you see something, and then see it a few more times, and it doesn't stop happening, you can logically infer with inductive reading that it will happen again.
This is madness.
You buy the vehicle. You are not in control of the vehicle when you are driving it. A car stalling in traffic, let alone being switched off remotely, is a recipe for death.
I'll have no part in it.
Well, unless, I get involved in an accident because of it, and die or am seriously injured.
This is disgusting in so many ways.
