Here is a brief synopsis of the plot of Aaron Sorkin's "Newsroom": A cable tv news channel hires a new guy that is eager to make a name for himself. He finds an aging general and tapes an interview about using WMD's against US enemies in the middle east. Although the general does not say anything...

[quote]I am not a democrat. I am getting into my upper 60s and have never voted for a democrat. Ever. I wanted to get that out of the way. But I am not a fan of Trump. Isn't that OK? [/quote] Just because you say you are not a democrat does not mean it. YOU. HAVE. TWO. CHOICES. You can either...

That's funny, Delta gives out little earbuds for free....

I was reading about this, how does it read my meter? They really don't go into details on the site which worries me. ...

A few months back I had a nasty surprise where a leak in the main about 10' outside my house cost me some serious money. Both in terms of repair and my water bill before detecting the leak. We occasionally go on vacation or visit family for 2+ weeks, so I'd like to have a way to monitor remotely....

All of Scotland is enjoyable. Edinburgh is a terrific city. Old town is a bit like Gatlinburg, lots of t-shirt shops and scotch shops. It's very quaint and interesting, though, and worth a few hours to look around. New town is very nice and has some good restaurants including Dishoom and The Ivy. ...

[quote]They don't have factory warranties? That is crazy.[/quote] Tigerdroppings genius of the month right here, folks. Let me tell you how this works. There is a Ford dealer. They have guys that work on F150's and Tauras. Maybe the occasional T-bird or Focus. Those mechanics can probab...

[quote]China now claiming they have ability to demolish US aircraft carriers[/quote] I mean, we've had the ability to demolish all of China since like 1955. At least any cities, ports, steel mills, and military installations of any import....

had this happen last year - not cool We were set to sell-close and buy-close within a few days, and planned to stay at my parents' camp for that small gap. The seller was a total stooge and completely f**ed up the deal. We had to wait months. Got too cold at the camp and took a clean but ver...

Love it. Was there June a few years ago. I stay in Recolleta or Microcentro. The subway is safe and easy but stops running after 11 or so which makes it hard to get home from a typical dinner. Don Julio is a must, skip the steakhouses under 9 Julio, also I enjoy Fervor and El SanJuanino but there...

[quote]Generations before us were hard as a coffin nail to do that work before 40 hour week, overtime, benefits, and vacations.[/quote] From what I understand that was more like 80 hours a week of hard labor. I've been on jobsites for 4-6 days where we have to babysit the project (keep the off...

I don't love McCarthy but I dont think he's done that bad of a job. If we remove the speaker now, how much momentum do we lose going into 2024?...

Almost guaranteed they were on their phone liking pics of something or commenting on a post. That's some real Smokey and the Bandit stuff there. Real talk: This is how most I-10 drivers operate these days. Folks have no concept of following distance (wtf is the two second rule anyway???) or passi...

About 10pm on the gulf coast, there was a huge boom. Look on the local facebook group and some guy has pics of the space ship re-entering over the panhandle and splashing down off PCB. Folks heard the boom from Pensacola to Gulfport at least....

[quote]175 'firemen' shovelled the coal by hand and worked in shifts 24 hours a day.[/quote] If you ever watch Top Gear when Clarkson was fireman on a train racing the other guys to Edinburgh, the work looks bloody awful. James drove a Jag which was plush, Richard drove a motorcycle which is prob...

I had a family member with a 2000 Boxster S with the bigger wheels, tires, extra gear, extra 50hp (250 total). Was a total thrill to drive. I helped put pipes on it and it sounded great. Nice thing about the Boxter mid engine is you can hear all the throttle butterflies snap shut when you let off (i...

Likely this is too small of an amount to have a real legal proceeding so this is a man-to-man dispute. I would suggest you call your electrician and tell him that he should eat the bill and provide examples why. Did you give him permission to work in that area at that time? Did you give him a drawin...

Juneau harbor (at least Auk Bay where I sailed out of) is a 20 minute cab from the airport, verify where you are sailing from and figure out transport. Auk bay is beautiful though. Ketchikan is Alaskan Gatlinburg. Whole lot of tourist shops, t-shirts, keychains, etc... Bring a book. Overall th...
