  1. Everybody and their dogs had one of these. Now, 99% of them are in landfills. What a country.
  2. I am a lifelong Beatles freak/fan. I have heard the song "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" approximately 17257 times. I have seen the Ed Sullivan Show performance of that song approximately 9754 times. I recently learned that the lyrics are NOT And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feelin' that my love I get high I get high I get high but, rather: And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feelin' that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hide I am dumbstruck, flummoxed, hornswoggled etc...
  3. I am enjoying the vibe on Threads. I see posts from people that I actually want to see posts from. I only have 11,000 followers so not a great deal but they are hanging in there. It will be interesting to see what happens with all these social media platforms. I think I'm on about 15 of them now, though I don't have time to tend to them all on a daily basis.
  4. That sounds like something Elon will use in his marketing.
  5. Angela Chao's blood alcohol level was .233, three times the legal limit.
  6. The one thing that could upset the apple cart is as black swan event, like a huge terror attack coordinated by people who had come across the border.
  7. If you haven't seen Los Coast they are badass. Check out the reviews. https://www.loscoast.com/about
  8. I guess it sort of makes sense. Both states are booming, economically, under Biden.
  9. After all this if if turns out she just has Crohns disease and had a bowel resection or whatever I am going to be hugely disappointed.
  10. Seems like that would have negative consequences down ballot, no?
  11. It must kill them to see this shimmering brilliance on display and yet not be able to contribute.
  12. Bridal veil falls had a completely different meaning at the frat house.
  13. Chip Kelly realy is a POS. California's hightest-paid employee and he "quiet quit" on his job. https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2024-03-05/analysis-chip-kelly-didnt-want-to-coach-ucla
  14. Comedians aren't supposed to be saving us. Historically, that is not in their job description. Historically, their job description has been to provide sugar hits. If you want to blame somebody for the content that's provided, blame us, the audience. The history channel is only showing us what we, via our eyeballs, are telling them we want.
  15. Maybe I'm not understanding the math, but it appears that IT is averaging something like 2.50 THOUSAND views.
  16. "The tragedy of the commons refers to a situation in which individuals with access to a public resource (also called a common) act in their own interest and, in doing so, ultimately deplete the resource. This economic theory was first conceptualized in 1833 by British writer William Forster Lloyd. In 1968, the term “tragedy of the commons” was used for the first time by Garret Hardin in Science Magazine. This theory explains individuals’ tendency to make decisions based on their personal needs, regardless of the negative impact it may have on others. In some cases, an individual’s belief that others won’t act in the best interest of the group can lead them to justify selfish behavior. Potential overuse of a common-pool resource—hybrid between a public and private good— can also influence individuals to act with their short-term interest in mind, resulting in the use of an unsustainable product and disregard the harm it could cause to the environment or general public." https://online.hbs.edu/blog/post/tragedy-of-the-commons-impact-on-sustainability-issues
  17. Holy crap what a finish to the state at Milan San Remo. What a descent!
