  1. And yet, but for the wheel it would be useless.
  2. Pretty confused by this. Back when I was growing up we had football and soccer in the fall, basketball and wrestling in the winter, lacrosse and baseball in the spring and summer. Is this what she (or is it he?) is talking about?🤔
  3. Greatest, maybe. Most dangerous, definitely.
  4. I suspect the decline in the divorce rate had more to do with average age of marriage going up. Because why bother getting married if you're going to get a microwaved dinner...
  5. I was thinking the same thing about the EV industry...
  6. Seriously Irv? The microwave oven? Let me tell you about the microwave oven. It was invented in 1947 as the radar range. Throughout the rest of the 40's and 50's barely anyone owned them. You know what else was extremely low at the time? The divorce rate. In the 60's and 70's microwave ownership began to pick up. What else did? Bingo, the divorce rate. Microwave ownership steadily rose through the 80's and 90's, then started to level off at the turn of the century. That's right, the divorce rate followed the same trend. If you look at separate graphs of both since 1947, they look eerily similar. Coincidence? I think not!
  7. I feel like it's the Polish Mardi Gras or what many countries refer to as Carnaval. The rest of the Roman Catholic world feel like they should spend a few days celebrating as they are going to be giving up stuff for 40 days for Lent. We Poles feel like we just gave up stuff for 40 days, time to let loose and celebrate.
  8. Let's start with your definition of a socialist: A socialist is simply someone who advocates for an economic system in which the workers own the means of production through mandated worker cooperatives, Actually, a socialist is simply a person who advocates or practices socialism. What then is socialism? According to your definition it is an economic system in which the workers own the means of production through mandated worker cooperatives Actually, socialism has more to do with government owned means of production than worker owned. It is defined as follows: :any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state : a stage of society in Marxist theory that is transitional between capitalism and communism and is distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done There's much more to break down in your post, it's Easter, have to start cooking, I'm going to end it here but add that there is a lot of area we agree on, or at least find middle ground. I recently watched a 7 part documentary on John Adams from 2008. Something that stuck with me was a scene from the first Continental Congress. In it, Ben Franklin shouts that "There is no room for anyone here that isn't willing to compromise." We don't see much compromise from our politicians these days.
  9. The egg roll party, which is celebrated on Easter Monday (which us polacks refer to as dyngus day) has been around since 1878. Each first family puts their own stamp on it. Apparently the Biden family stamp is to take religion out of Easter. As Irv would say, what a mess.
  10. Pretty sure cops will still be allowed to use the hip drop tackle without penalty.
  11. I freakin' hate seeing 3rd and 20, a defensive holding call away from the play, the defense holds, but wait, that's a 5 yard penalty, automatic first down😡 If defensive holding is 5 yards & automatic first down, offensive holding should be 5 yards and automatic 4th down! And don't even get me started on the late flag in the Bills/Chiefs game where the replay showed the chuck was within 5 yards and before the pass.
