I tried my hand, but it took too much upkeep for me, especially when I went back to full time work in office.

Just to be clear, it seems like mr Yang believes that a raid on a former president’s home was as flippant as “meh, let’s just try it and see what happens.” How on earth could you honestly think that this wasn’t run up the chain of command to make sure it was okay?

Yup... only reason I'm looking new rather than used.

Nah. That's the one in Altoona. That dude is dead to me.

This place has no BS mark-up. They sell at MSRP. I'm just surprised he called me. Up to this point I've initiated every single contact and every single interaction. He almost seemed bothered by me being in his presence. He did send me the window sticker to the vehicle so that I can see the features ...

Just when I think I'm done with this Kia dealer, they rope me back in.... He gave me a call this morning and said one of their PHEV Sportages are coming in this weekend. It's already sold, but if I wanted to come and take a look at it, the person buying it won't be able to pick it up until the end o...

I see an end to this with Biden actually writing a person for Trump but only after all the bullshit is laid out. It follows the no-balls playlist of our government. His entire life depends on him not laying out the bullshit. There's not possible way this will ever happen. Even if a pardon is extend...

Some of “the right” voted Trump in for the lulz. This is just the punchline to the joke they started.

Btw, the FBI director is a registered republican and a Trump appointee, so…. Eek.

Whether there’s actually something and he’s in big trouble or nothing comes from this, I fear what consequences come from this raid. His psychos are gonna lose it.

I’m sure the Bedford springs had something as well. Bedford and ghosts go hand in hand.

There's a conference I go to pretty much every year. I present at it pretty much every year. I am bored and want to go home by the end of it pretty much every year. Anyways, the technical program came out today and as I was reading through talk titles, I read this: "Optimization of Fellatio Sample A...

If memory serves, he made some comment about how the hurricane was slated to hit Alabama. The national weather service, not wanting to raise unnecessary alarms, put something out saying the hurricane wouldn't be hitting Alabama and they never forecasted it to do so. Trump being Trump, rather than sa...

You're thinking of Kate Bush, dude... not Metallica.

I've watched the whole thing... I don't recall metallica making an appearance.

My wife wore one last week at a conference. I think the last time my kid or I wore one was a few weeks ago when she went to get her Covid vaccine. Before that, I couldn't tell ya.

I have nothing against people wearing them, but nah. Not for me right now. We'll see what this winter brings.

So, who writes in sharpie? I think that's my major takeaway - is that if you're trying to be discreet, why would you write in a sharpie, and if you're just living day to day live...why would you use a sharpie?

I am already excited about a 2027 epidemiology paper that pinpoints exactly why this virus impacts certain people worse than others and what causes long covid while others escape the pain. There's gotta be some rhyme or reason to it.

If you want to feel some wonkiness, go test drive a VW Taos. Seriously, you hit the gas from a stop, you lurch, lurch, lurch... ZOOMM. It felt borderline dangerous.

Such a weird story... like, of course Trump would try to flush things. Of course he would lie about such things. What does it matter?

I’d do a regular burger, a meatball or chicken parm, a take on a Cuban, and then a roasted veggie (bell pepper, onion, zucchini, whatever else) with mozz and balsamic glaze just because I am vegechoician (vegetarian when the choice is available).

The CHIPS, PACT, Inflation reduction trio was interesting. Seems like the senate dems convinced the GOP that they’d stop trying for #3 if they went along with #1. GOP agreed and the minute they did, the democrats got a deal worked out with Manchin for #3. GOP got pissed and decided to focus that ang...

I have not thought about getting covid. Is that the same thing?

Yes you should. My wife got shingles a few years back. It was not fun.
