I had to look up Lakeith Stanfield, but man, the moment I saw those google picture results I couldn’t help but say “yep, that’s Spike alright”  Maybe a different shade from the show, but the man ooze’s Spike’s personality.

My dad is old and grew up dirt poor - they used to stuff bricks they’d place by the fireplace into old socks to take to the bed with them.

name checks out - “So, pro tip, do not buy donuts at Target.”

My mom tells stories about how she used to sled down the hill that eventually became Cherry Hill mall.

I find this technology fascinating and so glad we live in an age where this is possible!

Your comment about the US Prison system is pretty much accurate. I had the privilege of clerking for an AG’s office two summers and we toured two of the state’s prisons (one each 1/2 summer). After the first tour I realized that I’d never want to consign my worst enemy to that kind of misery. That 2nd 1/2 summer we…

This sounds like an argument in favor of targeted assassination as opposed to total war.

A cousin by marriage was one of the e-suite accountants at (at the time was) a major multinational and many years ago he told me about the life cycle of companies. Companies run by the engineers/founders can achieve greatness. Over time when when the accountants and finance people take control it will continue…

They also make good seedling pots.

So it looks like he’s spent ~$373k of his own money, received ~$223k from large donors and ~$171k from small donors plus $34,500.00 from PACs. (src: https://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary?cycle=2020&id=NC11)

Things work differently at the congressional level. PACs exist for this exact reason. Someone should pull his campaign disclosures to find out who’s footing the bill for the campaign itself.

He certainly gives the appearance of being a grifter. To advertise oneself as a successful real estate investor with that kind of experience has a wift of dishonesty. Then again, much about his presentation gives that impression.

I guess we’ve all forgotten that little ditty:
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” - some variant thereof.  Might not be a bad idea for officers to recite this every morning prior to their shift. Would help a lot with de-escalating situations.

It doesn’t work like that and you know it. Countries aren’t foreclosed on, creditors simply demand higher interest rates, which cut into discretionary spending, which reduces government services, which requires higher taxes to maintain, which cuts into growth, which . . .just ask Illinois how that’s working out for…

I’d be curious if it doesn’t screw up the price level. More dollars chasing fewer goods.

I dragged these guys out of the closet for my little girl’s birthday this week. The N64 and Atari are still stashed away in a box. Both she and my wife like to play the GBP and GBC when in the car. Feels like a throwback to my youth.

Do you know why we’re running low on PPE? Because the government is playing politics. We’ve spent the past week helping get N95 equivalents to family physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and at home health care workers. Anything not a massive corporation is simply shut out of the supply chains.

Karen doesn’t know jack squat! I get my information from Rob, who posts legitimate articles from actual scientists with infowars, brighteon, and natural news! Silver solution and hot sauce are all you need to fight this bioweapon! As a preventative you should use chlorine dioxide. Please, I implore you to quit…

Or you could just go full Beijing and install a never ending series of HDTVs that at top speed you can literally just watch the ads as if you’re not moving at all.

I’ve only recently begun a skincare regime simply to not waste the gobs of skincare products my wife buys. It really does a difference to tone and dryness, but I’ve pulled out from underneath the sinks enough cosmetics to last me until my dying day or their expiration first (seriously . . . three complete levels of…
