Terrible reporting - 12 keys is 26.4 pounds

29.8 pounds would be a little over 13 keys


You know you could get killed over an error like that, right baws?

Except that GnR (with Izzy and Adler) is way better than so-called GnR with Gilby Clarke (or Paul Tobias/Richard Fortus whothefrickever) and Matt Effing Sorum.

Any primadonna could have fronted Slash, Izzy, Duff and Adler. Literally anyone.

Biologically, once your body/brain feels like it has no more utility, it starts to break down faster. Retiring early and sitting around all day is likely punching your ticket to an early grave, or at the very least, a misery of health issues.

I think this is generally true. My father-in-law was an exception. Retired in his early 50s. Despite being in my 20s then, I'm still one of the smartest MFers you'll ever meet, I told him, "You're going to run out of money before you run out of life." He told me many years later that I was spot on. (:pimp:)

However, he had another "job." Taking care of my mother-in-law who was impossible to please. That kept him going in relatively good health (he did have a 18-month battle with kidney cancer in his 60s) until she passed. He was still in good health until about the last 6 months and passed at 80.

I worry that you're using this word unintentionally.

Fictionalized and fictional are 2 entirely separate things.

Shatner seems to be doing extremely well for 95 years old.

His superpower is that he stays busy. He sees a blank spot on his calendar and he probably sends out a sternly-worded text or email to his staff to the tune of, "Hey guys, why am I looking at an empty hour here at 2:00pm tomorrow? I could be making a media appearance, podcast, talking to someone about a new script, idea or even talking to someone about an appearance in a show or movie. So, what I'll be forced to do is work on the current book, which is fine, but let's not let that happen again too soon, okay? I have plenty of travel time to work on this book. Thanks."

"You solve hunger by giving people food."

I agree. Giving folks money to splurge at Wal-Mart for steak and lobster solves nothing.

Having a government store where you get an automatic credit on the first of the month for your family's rations of beans and rice, as well as weekly rations of chicken, eggs and produce would absolutely solve "hunger" - for those who are involuntarily "hungry".

Having an easily monetizable "benefit" with little to no restrictions is just another vector for fraud, waste and corruption.

(ETA: Housing is more complicated - if you give folks housing without restrictions, then you generate drug dens, open air drug markets, people cutting holes in walls where they think a "doorway" would be more efficient, selling plumbing fixtures, wiring, etc. If you place restrictions on this government - meaning taxpayer - provided housing, in addition to being extremely istophobic, those folks just don't want the housing, then.)
