The magic actuarial 8 ball says "highly unlikely". Random thing about RBG. The NY Times crossword the other day was all about her. She did the...

The hypocrisy would be staggering but completely unsurprising.

I haven't put on weight but not getting outside daily started to affect my blood pressure. After a couple of scary episodes where it rocketed up to...

Vaccines are one of the biggest miracles in all of medicine. I will absolutely get a covid shot.

To be fair, some states (not sure about IL) take overtime rules seriously. In CA my former employer had been hit with a class action lawsuit about...

Yeah. Admitting to supporting that turd is probably a trap that few can get out of. Alan did a great job of admitting support of republicans without...

Dry rub baked chicken wings and a caprese salad.

Nothing surprising. It just reiterated the previously described rules surrounding the steps to get approved to go back to the offices when they...

My employer just sent out a 30 page document on safety protocols and procedures for when the offices start reopening next month.

Chicken pot pies from the leftover roast chicken we had yesterday. I love that not only can we use the leftover meat but also make broth from the...

Alan for the win today!

I suppose it depends on the job one has applied for. The word reminds me of an insurance account I underwrote early in my underwriting career. It...

Well, if Hawaii is represented by that instead of a candlenut tree she will have a point.

I suppose it’s theoretically reasonable to laugh off all the shitty authoritarian ideas he spouts because he ‘just can’t do it.’ But if you had...

I don't necessarily disagree with any of this as a realistic prediction except that the federal reserve will do everything in their power, and make...

I undoubtedly saw that, since I watched consistently every night as my mom was washing the dishes and I was not eating my now cold vegetables. (I had...

A year or so before my big Vegas win I had gone with my parents to check out the new casinos in Blackhawk Colorado. I had budgeted $20 to lose, but...

Include me among those who live with someone who has the tv always on when home. If I didn’t have my own space (our second bedroom and our deck when...

I’m not much of a gambler either. The last time I did so was when changing planes in Las Vegas. I had two quarters in my wallet. I put them in a slot...

How much money are you willing to place on that happening? I'll happily take you up on that bet.

I just checked on wikipedia. You can still read all about Father Damien there. And all the civil war traitors that have been falsely honored with...

Because suggesting a new statue without pointing out the white supremacy that went into the decision resulting in the current statue kind of misses...

You're right. People's words are a great way of figuring out who people really are. Anyone who indicates that it is in any way acceptable for a...

Music is totally my thing. I now realize I can get sent wildly off track if I’m not careful... there are a couple of fairly recent songs that I LOVE...

Yes, being able to create a work environment you like is a big plus of working from home. Just be careful not to go off on a home dance party tangent...

If I had to pick one person who I would think would most importantly represent Hawaii in a group of state statues I would certainly pick her over...

Actually California kind of supports the theory. One of the other things the article talks about is that in Vermont there are generally strong, very...

I just read this article about Vermont. The author made an interesting point about why they have managed to keep the numbers down regarding contact...

You might be right. His most awful tweets come when he needs to deflect from other awful news. Maybe if he would just not be such an awful human...

Thanks. I had read that the mid-drive bikes were better for torque, and thinking about why that is it makes sense. I will definitely be riding...

Conservatives are worried about hate speech now? Dang. The world really IS flipped upside down.

Considering how often he's threatened to deny/dispute the election results it should be more than vaguely familiar when this is pointed out. Judging...

bae, I know this is the wrong thread for this but was curious your thoughts now on electric bikes a little over a year after you shared your insights...

While it is certainly undeniable that trump is completely ignorant as to what is in the constitution, and a moron on any number of other topics...

Everything is situational. I have long deplored the "protest zones" that get put up blocks away from both the republican and democratic conventions...

Sweet! And looks like a perfect work from home desk for a paperless person. In my experience from the last year if everything happens on the...

That is INSANE. LA county is 10x SF county. We've never had anywhere near 500 cases in one day. With multiple vaccines showing lots of promise and...

Actually it's the re-opening that's not working. San Francisco never re-opened indoor dining and our daily case count remains stable, with 52, 42...

That’s a fair question. Although I would think it’s not to go marching blocks from the building to the tune of the imperial March. (Appropriately...

The ACA also benefitted SO because it eliminated the $1m lifetime cap on his traditional employer plan.

As a wise movie character once said ‘stupid is as stupid does’.

An article I read today had the prediction that half the people currently laid off will not be rehired. Judging from how long this may go on that...

With the planned gradual reopening of my employer’s offices they were sending everyone sanitizer and masks. Apparently they didn’t differentiate...

No kidding. Almost makes me wish we lived there. (although personally I would've gone with Home Depot Dads...) But that Cascadia subduction zone...

Now we've got leaf blower dads protecting people's first amendment rights. ...

And if you're going to give someone policing authority shouldn't you have them wear uniforms and badges so that their misconduct can be correctly...

Who knows. Maybe if they weren’t cosplay cops we’d know one way or the other. We do, however, know that they are agents of the federal government...

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Maya Angelou

Apparently the first amendment doesn't allow for talking to federal goons either. ...

It is fascinating to me how quickly some people are supportive of the president when if you ask them about dead kids in school situations they shout...

Considering that the goons aren’t wearing their actual uniforms, who knows.

He made that clear when he called all the protestors ‘peaceful protestors’ as he denigrated half of them. In his mind the mothers and fathers are...

For much of our history public health authorities did indeed have police power. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2569983/ “The...

And apparently they have abandoned their original supposed mission of protecting federal buildings and are now just generally terrorizing people in...

I also use my credit union's bill pay system. It's simple, quick, automated for regular payments and best of all free. My last checks cost...

How many people here still actually write out checks? I had to buy a new box a few years ago and have maybe used two or three. I doubt I will ever...

So Florida is too dangerous to have a political convention but safe enough for kids to go back to school. I guess we now have schrodinger’s virus.

Depending on how long covid lasts I suspect that the current crop of "small retail" and "small restaurant/bar" etc may go out of business but others...

I suppose if you ignore the multiple videos floating around the internet showing exactly that, and that pretty much all the people who get kidnapped...
