Twice Be our guest, go ahead and give your personal views on the right and wrong of things. In addition to your educational efforts. You won’t turn to stone.

And those 500 felons shot up how many schools?

But you have a much greater than mean income. Your contribution should reflect that.

So, Fatty, it is about the money. The welfare queens. The dregs. Your fellow citizens. Your fellow members of society. Also, there’s a technical view that it is not, in fact, your money. Issuance before redemption, and all that. But you just don’t want to support societal improvement. Not with money. With endless bullshit, you seem yo think. You are not helping the world. Get off the bus.

Christ, man, anything with a 3 handle in jeans is ok!

Fucking of course not. We have 3 antiques my wife inherited. But no ammo. I doubt they would be safe to shoot without cleaning.

Always the solid play

But, we really must leave it to the legal system alone. It’s the best we’ve got, better than the rest. Doesn’t work, but, whatever.

Well, the facts were pretty hard on Donziger. He seemed to think anything can be attempted in using courts to extort boogeymen corporations.

Regressive taxes, most “mandatory” government, and zero hope or possibility of positive change. That is the formula for success. Amirite?

You have me stumped - the usual outcome

Agreed. But the boomer crew change numbers add up.

Frank I used to. Never morbidly obese, I maxed at 220 for a person who should be 165 or 170. Was on weight loss efforts 6 or 8 times. The older I got, the less the prior calorie counting coefficient held. At about late 50’s I started into biking, 100 mile events, etc. At peak training I was burning 2000+ calories just on the bike daily. And then it took 10 times as many calories to lose a pound as the last time. Yes, I recorded everything, as I was serious about the bike and the weight was one component. So, the data was good. So I learned, personally, that how hard it is to lose weight, how many calories out versus in, varies with time, varies with exercise regimen, and surely varies among people. So I became, as a consequence, more aware of this other, broadly held and scientifically informed viewpoint. Even my biking coaches said the 1 calorie in = 1 out was b.s. I was surprised to see my view change, I have to admit. As a former engineer, the energy balance idea just HAD to be right. Note to self, when something HAS to be right, then that just means it seems obvious, and only merits superficial examination. And superficial examination yields high error rates.

Mac, sooner or later we all think of retirement. I think she sees this as a nice off ramp. I wonder if she sees risk to the mayor remaining D? Doesn’t sound reasonable.

Now we have a standard. The Auschwitz diet. Also, the imprisonment diet, generally. It’s not a surprise that most people would not or could not submit to these approaches. Or joining the marines. The list of silly ideas is at least amusing. User name checks out.

But, 100%. Except for those that wash out, I.e. the whole goddam thing didn’t work. Wulaw, whatever else, you have patience.

Ok, when I retired we happened to be in Houston, the last of a dozen places. And we moved to a condo in Austin for “fun” and as a possible place to stay. And within 7 months were outathere for Seattle. What with the Tex legislature trends I wonder if the outbound from Texas numbers will go up.

Just went to the Collings site. Mercy. I could be in trouble. A dealer across the water in Fremont….

Right now I’m only playing the Taylor cedar. My old Yairi just doesn’t compete. So, after disposing of a few, I will be looking for a non Taylor dreadnought or Jumbo that pleases me as much as the 714. For another room, etc. As a crip, I don’t like toting guitars around, unless I have to. I see the Gibson guy from Bozeman joined Guild.

Just a shout out for the Cialdini reference. So, it doesn’t work 100%

Can you say a bit more how it played and sounded, vs some reference std?

Yeah, well. In Sumatra we got talked into a cricket match, yanks vs aussies and brits. We got smoked. The batting motion is not nearly similar.

I’ll pass on that challenge

Almost there…

One of my all time favorite albums.
