Re: An Extremely Tense Situation in D.C.
Lib told us: I've now reached a point in my life where I don't care about images, artistic flair, or surveys, especially telephone surveys. All I care about is results. I care about results because I'm seriously concerned about what I'm leaving behind for my children, grandchildren, and great-grandc...

Re: She probably cried to Jesus to save her...
I've only just now seen this. A good friend of 55 years died on July 17th - I had to break the news to another friend of hers who predated even me - 70+ years. I'll take care of the interment of her ashes in the UK and I'll probably have a priest say some words over the grave. Not because Alice was ...

Re: Looking for high creep, low viscosity lubricant
Have you tried WD-40? It's supposed to be good on stainless and does not corrode it. I have not tried this so I can't talk from experience.

If Subway have any sense they will start a new ad campaign for the 'Dunn Deal' sandwich. Hell, I'd buy one.

Re: Store employee creates worldwide panic by doing her job
I was in England a few weeks ago. Stopped at a motorway service place for a pee and a coffee. As there often is, there was a bit a queue outside the ladies' loo. I went and did my business at the urinal. (If this is TMI, sorry.). A lady and (I assume) her daughter - 5 or 6 at a guess - came out of o...

Re: RIP, Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Liberty told us: The debt will soon become unmanageable, and the money you want to spend on CPB will be needed to pay interest on that debt. Things could get so bad that we might have to close national parks, maybe even lease some to private concerns. In the end, we're going to have to raise taxes, ...

Re: This Troubles Me
Yes I didn't think a 17 year old male could become a sex offender through having sex with his 16 year old girlfriend. I thought there was something like a 3 year gap 'allowed' - or at least, not prosecuted - at that age but it might depend on jurisdiction

Re: Uh, because they aren't
I recall him telling us weeks ago that the price of eggs had come down 97%. This would be true if eggs ever sold at $10 / dozen (they never got that high) and then came down to $0.30 / dozen (nope). OK he didn't pay attention in a sixth grade arithmetic class; but you would think (no you wouldn't) t...
Re: Texas
Quite apart from the sorry performance on the day - lack of warning etc - the Guadalupe River is a known flash flood hazard - 13 people killed in 1987 which is not beyond living memory - who on earth ever proposed building more camp sites and who the fuck approved it???? Just look at the terrain and...

Legal question re Idaho murders
This is about the 4 student murders in 2022, not the recent killing of two firefighters. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/idaho-murders-bryan-kohberger-plea.html Apparently the main suspect, who was arrested at the time and who has been in custody since, has been offered a plea deal under which...

I think my tongue was a little way into my cheek with that remark. However, if someone came up and offered me the choice, Bush2 or Trump, I know who I would go with.

Re: New York state of mind
Mamdani gives me pause and this is why. I like what I have read so far. He appears to be pragmatic: maybe he is the direction I want the Dems to go in. They cannot trade on past glories: yes indeed we have organized labor (i.e., unions) to thank for a five day week, bans on child labor, safety at wo...

Re: Elon Musk is a patriot
Lib told us:
Apart, of course, from the whole Civil War thing. That's rather like pointing out that Hitler was a decent guy. Yes there was the Jewish issue, but let's not forget that he was kind to children and dogs.Robert E. Lee was also a patriot.

Re: Iran's request for talks
Regime change would have been nice, but only the Iranian people can make that happen. Still, at least the war is over, maybe things will be better now. . . . . The Trump-brokered ceasefire between Iran and Israel has, for now, brought an abrupt and extraordinary end to one of the Middle East's most...

Trump of course is well known for a teetotal lifestyle because he saw the effects on his alcoholic brother. That's the story, anyway. As a hotelier I'd be curious to know the amount of alcohol he sells; and there was the erstwhile trump Whisky. Actually I thought it was defunct but they are still se...
