Jen Psaki is my hero. She really knows her stuff.

Ah, yes, should have known it was Doocyā€¦

I love the way she tells him heā€™s an idiot without actually telling him heā€™s an idiot :laughing:

Anthony Burgess, author of ā€œA Clockwork Orangeā€ said he heard a mechanic in the Army say, whilst trying to fix a Jeep, "Fuck it ā€” the fucking fuckerā€™s fucking fucked the fucker.ā€

He then subsequently used it in teaching English, since the word is used as a different part of speech (adjective, noun, verb etc) in each occurrence.

Edit: Rude words blurred out so I donā€™t upset the snowflakes.

Meh, unblur them. We donā€™t really have any snowflakes here, and long may that continue :slight_smile:

I donā€™t buy el cheapo LED bulbs. These are name brand bulbs, but so far when each one fails, itā€™s been because of it turns into a strobe light. Itā€™s a good thing prices are continuing to drop because otherwise it would be cheaper to switch back to CFLs or incandescent bulbs (not counting the electricity required to power each one).

Make your own and see if they last longer.

Iā€™ve heard flakey wiring can cause early failures of LEDs. Weā€™ve got a few that last a lot les than Iā€™d hope.

Except it is a lot more complicated than that and Bidenā€™s own home state has much more restrictive voting. Most states also donā€™t allow ā€œvolunteersā€ handing people things within a certain distance of the polls. I have chased off volunteers who just happened to be wearing candidate gear myself. Not to mention water bottles that have party or candidate stickers.

Was it only six months ago the Times was telling everyone how vulnerable mail in voting and no fault absentee voting wasā€¦ But I guess we will circle back to that later. In fact the last people to get caught doing it was Republicans in SC, or maybe NC, in 2018.

Some of the changes were spurred by the very election issues that Stacey Abrams has been complaining about for years since sheā€™s refused to concede the election of 2018.

But hey, all that business went from a majority minority area to a mostly white area, so hah! showed those racists whatā€™s what. The whole ā€œGotyaā€ thing is getting old, especially when the people getting hurt are the ones they supposedly care about.

See my post here for how to make your own LED lights.

Basically you can use any enclosure. The trick is to use enclosures with opaque panels so the LED strips wonā€™t be seen that easily, plus it helps with the distribution of light (make it more scattered instead of focused).

Iā€™m not prophetic, Iā€™m just familiar with the local weather patterns.
It warmed up early and all the white stuff disappeared. The temperature climbed into the 20ā€™s and people were outside enjoying themselves in shorts and sandals.
Tomorrow weā€™re going to get 5cm of snow.
It wonā€™t last, and wonā€™t have any kind of real effect, but I told people it was coming. I went from doomsayer to prophet in a heartbeat.
So what? I made a prediction that came true. It happens every year, remember?

I know the characters name is Shang Chiā€¦ I know that. I used to buy the comics when they were new.
I am always going to get it wrong and say Chun Li.
Itā€™s a personal failing.

Thinking of buying a 2ndhand Wii and Wii fit board, just to do excercising.

I lack the motivation and willpower. Bah. Bah. Baaaaaah.

The FBI have just executed a search warrant on Giulianiā€™s house.
Apparently they were searching for signs of intelligence - but didnā€™t find anything.

Take US President Joe Bidenā€™s address/speech and replace the hundred times he said JOB with Coach Z saying JORB.
It works.
