    LBGTQ

    Especially in red states, amirite?
  3. Improves the tensile strength of the slice.
  4. Jesus, Boz, we had all blissfully forgotten about 13-0…
  5. Yes, but stay off the engineers. In jest. Whatever the technical skills, many have horrific social ideas. Like pocket protectors
  6. Well, baby jeebus is up there.
  7. Ricky will be working late at the club, most nights.
  8. Agreed. I’d bet on Malik for the season starter, assuming Quinn is a high enough draft pick
  9. Been retired more than a decade, but at my mega corp it was against safety rules to drive and operate a phone while on company business. This included the parking garage, rental car on business driving, etc. Firmly enforced via various mechanisms. The motivation was phone use was a documented leading cause of MVA’s, and MVA’s were our leading incident by frequency. Not at all holier than thou. A little practice, done. Easier than most of life’s rationally chosen obligations.

    Tipping

    Airport wheelchair attendants. $20 for 12 min work, much appreciated. Let them free for their next customer asap. Learn some Somali.
  11. The really serious shit. Thanks, Twice, for that slow one over the middle.
  12. This. Obviously. Then ztejas’ comment. Poor forecast.
  13. Bristling forces on the East could negate any threat from Belarus to Ukraine.
  14. I will vouch, or whatever, with JJazz’s recommendation on the Yairi. I bought one in 78 as my first nice guitar, a DY-50. I chose it over a Gibson Hummingbird which was maybe 20% more at the time. 45 years later it sits outside the “guitar room”, but rather in the tv room and gets played daily. But, everyone is different. Get something you have fallen in love with via playing and listening.
  15. Clearly, Cactus. I was flipping off that guy. Cheers!

    Well, that ‘Take Off!” level Canuck accent is a negative several points. But, yes.
  17. Yes, my time in scouts was blissful and without the abuse issues. One West Point graduate scoutmaster taught several of us slide rule, at about 12 years old. We felt like geniuses. A year later he was dead in Viet Nam. I’m not advocating scouting. I do advocate the aspirational ideas within the scout law.
  18. Way back when, as part of a course, this approach was called active listening. It takes some awareness to not simply parrot, or do it so much in the same conversation that it irritates your interlocutor, but it is fundamentally sound, and fairly life changing when some fluency develops. Also the scout law isn’t about camping. It’s about perspective on life. A scout is: Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. The last two are challenges for me. And listening. ‘I know this looks beyond corny, but I reflect on this list often. Well, sometimes.
