Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

I have gigabit fiber coming into the house. It's pretty awesome. Unfortunately it requires a deal with the devil: it's Google Fiber. I've consider routing everything through a VPN of some shape or form, but haven't gotten around to it. Won't that defeat the purpose? Every time I use a VPN, the spee...

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?

Trump, the Uniter In Chief(tm). Why doesn't he just come out and say it's all BS? His supporters have been for a while. And again, not that I 100% disagree with him, but he's playing the outsider here, and he is the ultimate insider. If he could only actually sit down and formulate some real strate...

Re: Do term limits make sense?

Well if not term limits, to thin out the career politicians. Maybe reduced salary with their nearly 200,000 dollar salary. While we are at it put limits on their Perks. The average U.S. salary is 50-60 thousand. Would it be a more sought after job after the reductions in salary and Perks, or is ther...

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?

Maybe Trump just likes the damn song..
It is great tune.

Why does there have to be a subliminal message or meaning to a great song that Trump's team play..
Maybe next time some Bob Seger

Re: Eight more years?

Can you make an argument that Biden is more suitable for that job than someone who has already held that job for 4 years and hasn't gotten us into any new wars or made any other major blunders of similar magnitude? Not convincingly. Trump will be judged at this point on two or three things: --The c...

Re: Eight more years?

At a speech in Wisconsin on August 17th, Trump suggested that after four more years, he will go for another four years, on the basis that they spied on his campaign and therefore his administration should get a re-do of four years. I did not learn this from the mainstream media, I refer to a verbat...

IDK, but it looks like bad journalism as well possibly because the numbers don't appear to be inflation adjusted.

Re: Sumerian Sauce

For the Sumerians, Akkadians and Babylonians, the ancient inhabitants of modern-day Iraq, beer was a daily staple and an essential component of social life. It was a beloved beverage, celebrated in poetry and song. But it was also recognized as a potent force whose consumption could prove risky. In...
