Does he not realize that if that right is codified before he's president again that Biden could just turn around and have him executed without any repercussions. I don't believe Biden would do that but it just shows that he is not thinking beyond the tip of his nose.

Foldable devices seem like the 3d TVs of the last couple of years. I will not be getting one any time soon.

It's really nice to get an increase. During the Obama years there were a lot of federal pay freezes and during the orange idiot years he blamed us for every federal cost overrun. It been rough to work in the public sector for awhile.

Cats are territorial creatures and will claim their pet parents as part of their territory. When a cat rubs against something, they are forming an affiliation with that person, animal, or item. In other words, they are accepting it into their environment and claiming it as their own.

Don't let people tell you to "act your age" you still be silly and fun.

I am 53 and live in DC. I bought just as the pandemic was starting when nobody knew what was going to happen and the rates were low. The market has since exploded and I could never have afforded the home I am in.

Once a sock comes off I cannot put on a used sock again. So at least once a day for me.

That would have made for one awkward episode of Storage Wars.

For me it is Jacob Collier - https://youtu.be/cCl7_tXs80Y

He can play almost any instrument and is versed in many styles.

Living overseas is my retirement plan, probably Portugal, I have lost faith in the American political system.

But incidentally these people are disgusting.

I would love to try a new instance but then I have to recreate a rather large block list.

Is there a way to copy your block list from one instance to another?

That reminds me of this story (not mine).

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

Let's make sure that all those horses are out and long gone from the barn and then close the door.

This is exactly me. I use voice command for the laziness feature. I don't often have my phone right at hand. And I just need to turn the lights up to 100%.

Dark Tower - But I don't think it can be done. I think the reason a lot of Stephen King's adaptations fail as movies is because his books spend a lot time describing his character's inner monologue.

Ender's Game - I was so excited for this movie. But if you are a fan of the books then you saw a lot of discrepancies between the movie and the book. So it ended up being a decent general sci-fi movie.

The first season of Parks and Recreation was so bad compared to the rest. They didn't seem to know what to do with the characters. They really gelled in the second season. The rest of the run was great and the final episode was inspired.

If you like using spreadsheets you should check out Tiller.

I tried it and saw its promise, but I don't love spreadsheets.

I do not have a need for so much real estate on my mobile device. Nor do I want to carry anything thicker than a phone in my pocket. I use my Galaxy S20 Ultra which serves me well on the go and I my laptop if I want to look at something on a larger screen while I am home.

I am partial to Kodi, Seren and real-debrid.

Put it on as big a screen you can and turn it up!

In line with another phrase I hate, " If you can't take me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best". It is just the person saying it trying to cover their awful behavior.

Beelink mini PC running windows with Kodi and real debrid with a VPN. Outputting 4k through my receiver. Wireless keyboard and a Sofabaton U2 remote.

It opens us to purge lists under a less then scrupulous person. I think it would only be a decade before we reached Stalin levels.

I think we would bar him from running for office if it were up to us and not a corrupt Court.

Cake's version of "I Will Survive"

Nah, he would puff himself up online and say he will buy it for $20 a share and then try and back out.

It's only Americans that have this problem. Our TV and movies have been exported all over the world for decades.

I found Monty Python early in my life and it touched off a life long love of British TV and learned the lingo. ☺
