Re: New Technologies

Avian carriers eh?
I do get a kick out of terabyte micro-sd card carrying pigeons racing some of the lower bandwidth ISPs for average transfer speeds.

oh, and Carl, I'm doing a deep cleaning and found some 9 track tapes and DC300A type data cartridges (etc) looking for a good home.

Re: New Technologies

psilocybin maybe?

I have to say that the first picture looks like someone spewed their pad thai onto an old PC motherboard.

*sigh*

I've got to replace mine...or at least replace the insoles and stitch up the gash on the upper.

Re: Trying on clothes in-store

[USA/Massachusetts here, so my experience may be skewed the remarkably liberal political climate] It was about 20 years ago that I got the nerve to start trying on in-store. I've always had courteous and accommodating interaction with the staff. Of course, I was always made it a point to be polite a...

And speaking of snow. Hawaii is getting pounded.
They're under a blizzard warning.

Re: Gun control

Agreed on all counts....Well I don't know your uncle's political leanings. I'll take your word on it. I actually consider myself to be liberal in the classical sense (like the ones at the beginning of the 20th century). Sometime in the 40s/50s the collectivists kind of hijacked the liberal label as ...

Re: Gun control

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. Why then, can I not purchase a nuclear warhead?

Re: is this to short?

My wife would call it too short. Me? not so much. Just don't bend over in it...unless you want to flash the derriere (or whatever is covering it) at whoever might be behind you. There's something very flirty with being on the edge of exposure. It also kind of explains popularity of panties with stuf...

Re: Article in Respekt Magazine - According To Our Own Rules

My usual reply to a good compliment has been to say "If I'm going to break the rules of gender, I gotta crush it." And this article shows what happens when they do get properly crushed.

Bravo!

Re: Winter Mini Skirt

I'd go with tights under one that short for sure.
When I first saw this title, I was thinking that you'd gotten one from Skhoop or Mountain Hardware. They both have quilted a-line models in the 14" length range.

Re: Think about it!!

That's a lot of scratch for a government that is opposed to funding any kind of healthcare. There is a vast sea of hypocrisy across these fifty states... a vaaaaaast sea.... I try not to even care anymore, I just call it when I see it, and mosey about my merry way. Agreed on both counts. Considerin...

Re: Think about it!!

There are still more than 60 vaccines in development on top of the 13 already approved somewhere. The original field was like 160 vaccines so already nearly 100 didn't make it. I gotta admit I wasn't even thinking about the the other 53 scattered across the globe. I was just referring to the US gov...

I know a cop in my home town that won't get vaccinated. I do think he's misunderstanding the risks. (I didn't throw traffic stop risk comparison question at him) Here are the facts that induced me to get into the vax line (Moderna shot #2 scheduled for a week from thursday, btw): It reduces my chanc...
