Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Smithers, thank you for the daily updates on your activities. Every morning I look to see your posts, both for the content and as evidence that you are safe. The pictures are beautiful. Thanks again.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

The coffee is much stronger on average than in North America and there’s lots of unique takes on flavour such as grapefruit lattes. I really like strong coffee. … I made my wife coffee for six months before I realized that the plastic “tablespoon” I was using was really 2 TBSP. (You’re supposed to ...

Smithers, what makes the coffee amazing? Re. your signature: What is the other 1% ? Just curious! Stay safe and don't get constipated.

Thought I'd check in to say "Hi" and see if anyone else survived the New Year. Hope all is well with everyone. It's been mighty quiet around these parts lately.

Smithers, how did you celebrate? Horse racing or football?

Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

To me, it all boils down to the value one has for human life other than ones own. In my opinion, human life begins at conception; any other definition has logical difficulty if really thoroughly studied. Thus, I'm not for abortion except in a very few medically necessary cases. I'm not for anything ...

Vinny, FWIW, the Overcast podcast app I previously mentioned lets you make playlists of different episodes of all the different podcasts. The playlist can be as long as you want, hours and hours or more. That is one of the reasons why I like that app. Secondly, it is very easy to skip an episode if ...

Has anyone listened to the latest Lex Friedman podcast with Mearsheimer? I need to find three hours to listen to it. You can shave some time off if you listen at 1.25X speed. Doesn’t work for every interview, but it’s good for slow talkers. Just use the settings wheel under the video. Is that faste...
