  1. Someone splain https://www.marketwatch.com/story/young-conservatives-reflect-gops-move-away-from-economic-priorities-political-scientist-says-8de5034e This? This reflects “what the energy of the Republican Party is in the conservative movement,” Dallek said. “All these questions of identity and culture, and the sense that America is, as they see it, slipping away from them” is what animates the modern conservative movement, he said. “It’s not energized so much by tax cuts or deregulation.”
  2. I got a quote on a solar generator and it was high. We've got a big propane tank underground and I think we'll go with an LP generator. Guy who quoted did the math for me fairly and I think I'll die before I recoup the cost. But the reliability of solar is appealing.
  3. Carl Sagan was mentioned a billion times or more. Dude, you have got to visit this place. You can discuss it openly with these very cool folks...They didn't mention Fermi but I loved how he was portrayed in Oppenheimer.
  4. This isn't going away...and it shouldn't https://dnyuz.com/2023/07/28/the-shady-backstory-of-floridas-outrageous-new-slavery-curriculum/ However, three members now claim they were neglected to be informed about Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new mission to restructure how Black history was taught. Instead, a totally different “work group” was quietly formed—and stacked with the Department of Education’s own appointees—to advise on the new standards and pass an agenda. “It’s the same divide techniques that they used on the plantation,” African American History Task Force member Dr. Donna Austin told The Daily Beast. “It’s the same, identical thing. They always use methods of dividing the African and African American people. That’s what they do.”
  5. Their primary mission is to find evidence of alien life.
  6. Not embellishing. It was in winter. There was only 4 other visitors there. The lady I mentioned gave us her mini science experiment lecture in a lecture room - usually for kids. Told us all about herself. This is a hidden gem and people should go. There's a railroad ride in the summer that goes near it. On my bucket list https://greenbankobservatory.org
  7. Many physicists, chemists and astronomers that work there disagree. The $10 tour we took in a diesel van was guided by the PhD Chemist widow of an astrophysicist who worked there too
  8. Perhaps he should pay more attention to what the descendants of slaves think https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4125593-desantis-faces-backlash-from-black-conservatives/
  9. good idea. I was thinking of teaching anatomy and physiology to nurses.
  10. Visit the Green Bank Radio telescope complex in West Virginia. The real characters from "Contact:" worked there with SETI. There's no phone signals or even spark plug noise (they use diesels) so they can listen. The math says it's highly likely there are other sentient beings in the universe...
  11. The R's have the house. Is their heat tolerance better than mine? In the sunbelt red states? Should we help them when they're m-e-l-t-i-n-g? Farmers Insurance co is speaking. Should we listen or make them cover Fla? Socialism...
  12. This was pretty good, Irv
  13. There's a reason Jamaicans still mourn him
  14. i have a 401K. Today was a good day/week/month. Everthing is cyclical x apparently the weather. That's what is scaring me...
  15. BS. Go to Aldi . Buy 3 pounds of brats for $8. Some potato salad, Baked beans and cole slaw. A six pack of knock off Corona and you're good for $20. I bought the brats for a Rotary party here and everyone loved them. It also helps when everyone brings a dish.
  16. Fine, yes. Genny always gave me the *****. Labatts is very good beer. Honestly, my wife is getting pissed at me laughing to myself. I think my first was truly Shlitz. I think that's what they had on tap for a New Years Eve party in a bar on Lake Ontario. They were heart up and we were underage, and they welcomed us. I think the beer on tap was Shlitz. Place burned down the next day. True story. Google it.
  17. equals asked and answered. Slightly longer but more definitive.
  18. Schlitz, Labatts, Genny cream? Pretty sure Genny was mine.
  19. I feel both are apropos ( today,I learned to spell this) I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time. ... The more you say, the less people remember.
