  1. I gotta watch that whole interview. For the lulz.
  2. The next one WILL kill you.
  3. If we wanted to be Machiavellians, this is what we'd do. Ukraine can be their Afganistan. IMHO, the Biden admin engaged in ssslllooowww, incremental, proportional response. Seems we never learn. And their nukes would wander off. I think of the Lenin quote, paraphrasing, "There are decades when nothing happens, and there are weeks when DECADES happen."
  4. 1.867MM total - 237,000 <54 demo = 1.63MM Olds. Way to go, CBS.
  5. Take that $200B, buy like 2 trillion drones and send them east. Give Russia their blood money back.
  6. All that keeps them using the USD and buying our Government debt. Our currency is almost gold standard.
  7. I'm sure the pay is good, but it seems like Chris Evans has moved on to other things. That and all rhe PED's he'd hafta take to get back in Cap shape.
  8. Why not put these data centers in the north? So when the servers get hot all you gotta do is literally open the windows? Serious question.
  9. Dunno who that cromulent fellow is, but Mr. Howard did just fine for us. Hasn't happened yet. To be clear, I am NOT a fan of Bjork. He's that weenie we all have as a coworker who is real good at memorizing smart things and repeating them. But is not capable of thinking of things his own. It will definitely get us in trouble someday. Here. NGL, I tuned quite a ways out of cfb when we lost that Cotton Bowl. Dodged a bullet for sure. Dude. That's hurtful. They have now.
  10. Everything's debt if you spend enough.
  11. In
  12. His 5 min at the opening of Justified's pilot told us everything we need to know about Raylan Givins. Bit of a wasted character tbh.
  13. Here's an idea for your machine: don't ram AI down our throats.
  14. So they say Ukraine might be close to agreeing to the modified US-brokered deal. Prediction: We come up with a deal they agree to. Putin blows it off completely. Our President gets mad. Makes some tweets. Rince. Repeat.
  15. Just ONCE can we get this thread to overlap with the "Things going right in the World" thread?
  16. Sam Mendes Spy movies Art housework or whatever you'd classify American Beauty and Revolutionary Road. War movies Plenty of directors can do 2. But 3 and above gets into rare air.
  17. Downloading porn files onto your computer and not getting major viruses and Spyware. Simple times.
  18. I'm no historian, but I read some books. My take: 1) Banking. The Old Testament bans the charging of interest, but medieval Europe found a loophole. They all decided it was OK to pay/charge interest between Christians and Jewish folks. Ie King Thomas can't loan money to King Michael, but he CAN loan it to a Jewish intermediary, who then loans it to King Michael. Presumably that's how banking ended up with lotsa Jewish people. We all hate bankers, and lotsa bankers were Jewish. So... 2) The Black Death. I guess the Old Testament has some specific rules of cleanliness. Sweep up stored grain, pick up your trash, etc. Christians fell away from that over time. Then the plague rats come in. Jewish households are unappealing and they move on, leaving their residents unharmed. Said plague rats set up shop in the homes of dirty Christians, they all get plague, they die. Christian survivors can't help but notice their Jewish friends aren't dying. They jump to the wrong conclusion...
