Dual, you sound “like, hey man” like you would be a great person to have a beer or ten with, “like” if we met in person. It would definitely be a blast! 🍻

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Germany thwarted a planned attack by ISIS on Sweden’s Parliament building. Reddit: How could Ukraine do this? /s O0 One that bugs me is the use of "like", which has sadly expanded far beyond the Valley girls. Somebody will relay a story to me and say "I was like, 'what were you thinking?'". I'll re...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Well you’ve covered a lot of ground, M. I don’t know if any of it has anything to do with Putin. But, our legal system does seem pretty messed up, in a multitude of ways. Perhaps Putin and his cronies are not involved, perhaps. Maybe it’s we the people who are most responsible. That’s even worse. B...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

I think (note I said ‘think’ rather than the popular ‘feel’ often used by the woke) Putin and his cronies have invaded our legal system as well as the Ukraine: A TikTok influencer has used his account to encourage illegal aliens to take properties and invoke squatter’s rights. Property rights are in...

Re: Replacing Xfinity (Comcast) modem

Vinny, if Verizon FiOS is available in your area you might tell Comcast you are considering switching. Could be a good bargaining tactic to get Comcast to give you a better deal. I’ve had good luck bargaining with Verizon.

Have you introduced foods to your fiancee that she never had before? Besides XO sauce. It's mostly her introducing me to new foods since I don't cook. :D Thanks to her I tasted borscht for the first time!

Hey there Smithers, don’t get discouraged and down on yourself. There’s a reason old guys are still valuable for their sage knowledge. We too were once non-discriminating instant common-sewers.

This year I obviously set and all-time record by doing the first one a few weeks ago.
Was this due to unseasonable warmth?
Probably not. Vinny was mowing last year’s grass/weeds/shrubs all enhanced by gallons of human based nitrogen compounds. ;-)

Re: Occupied Land acknowledgements

When did acknowledging that your institution is on “Located on Occupied and Unceeded XYZ Ancestral Homelands” become a thing? Is it anything other than empty virtue signaling?

Everyone knows about haggis, Mountaineer. O0 It’s too extreme to not hear about it.

I wonder what percentage of politicians are genuinely concerned with telling the truth? For example the “women’s rights” dressed up mantra that allows/condones killing of a human being.
