Unfortunately I didn’t contribute to the decline as I have kept my alcohol intake way above what I should have.
I feel the majority of the kids that come from long term home schooling are lacking a lot of the social skills necessary to navigate life. Kids need to battle through tough, uncomfortable situations and not run and hide from them.

Yes the vast majority of public schools are a mess, but I much rather choose private schools than home schooling.

Yes, they are requiring ID and proof of eligibility to work in the US before they will hire you for the job. Good for them.


Exactly, this is good. Yes, voter ID should come before this, but it is still a positive at the end of the day.

Wish people would focus on the real story before always playing up the theatrics.

They are nu-metal which is a different genre anyway.


Not really nu metal like Korn or Limp Bizkit, ypu could tell from their sound they were heavily influenced by Nirvana.


Not technically a bridge, but still cool.

Where are the guidelines, I can’t find them. I also had a thread whacked with the quickness and would like to understand why.

I would love to see phones take a huge leap backwards.

The Titanic went down in April 1912. The Federal Reserve Act passes December 1913, during the holidays when a lot of Congress was away. There’s a long-running rumor that Titanic got swapped with its damaged sister ship, Olympic. Supposedly, they sank the damaged one, collected insurance, and solved multiple “problems” at once.


You know how ridiculous this sounds? The upvotes help explain a lot of the threads on the OT. Why do people entertain these off the wall theories?

Why are they orbiting so high? Apollo 8 was 70 miles above the moon.


Completely a guess, but I think they are keeping a lot of clearance as a safety factor. You know we are super extremely cautious compared to 1969.

Please lord, let them fly over the Apollo landing sites. Amen


They aren't going as close as the Artemis 1 mission which passed 81 miles above the surface of the moon. They are passing over 6,000 miles above the surface on the manned mission. Not sure what kind of images they will get?

How safe is it for teenagers to start taking creatine? Son wants to take it, but I am not sure he should.

The inflation rate went down? I thought it went up almost half a point or so?

Didn’t they mention inflation actually increasing in the same report?
