She was feisty and I loved her lol

Long ago, my husband and I often played cards with my Grandma. She suffered no fools. Once after she sharply asked if he was going to play a card or talk all day, he began quietly whistling this song. She gave it a minute before saying, "I know what you're doing." She never looked up from her hand.

Which is best for you depends on your longitude and latitude within the time zone you occupy. In northwestern WA the sun rises at 5 a.m. in summer (daylight savings) and sets at 3:30 p.m. in Winter (Standard). Permanent DST sounds pretty nice to me. I don't mind getting up in winter dark.

I understand the rationale. My brother started hoarding gold in the … late 70s? I’m more concerned about The Big One than the end of civilization. 🌋 If digital banking/investments are seized, your gold will quickly become someone else’s by force. I’ll be out here growing beans. I do wish you luck! 🙃

Always. I miss my free shipping but hey, I can afford it. Tired of feeding Amazon’s maw.

If the dollar plummets that badly, we’ll all have other things to worry about. I’m not prepping for Armageddon, just keeping liquid enough to last a few years if the market crashes.

It's looking more and more like the unthinkable is going to happen. 😳👇

Now name every Republican who voted yes. All of them, please.

Better than losing it in the market 🤷🏻‍♀️

They fired all the top brass, who actually understand the complexity of war. It’s not just firepower, it’s protecting your assets.
These dumb fks are costing us generational defense stability. Somebody post the “We’re in danger” meme.

Darrell knows what’s up.

Jordan and Asimov are both tedious and pointless, imho. Check out Iain M. Banks' Culture novels for something different to think about. Adrian Tchaikovsky is putting out some great work, as well, but he's almost too prolific. You have to find the channels you enjoy and stay within them.

Just a retiree managing my own investments since 2009 after bad advice from an "expert." You could see this coming the moment Trump was re-elected. I'm holding a lot of cash, just like all the big corpos have been doing the last 5 years or so. I'll buy back in when Trump is gone.

He is and he knows it. That is the most incomprehensible aspect of this, to me. He’s flailing about destroying things so people will remember him. That’s not how good humans react to imminent mortality.

WE didn’t. THEY allowed this to happen as WE were all busy believing in basic human values.

As an ex smoker, 15 yrs excluding the night my ex-husband died, this is it. I may bum one tomorrow.

You’re being too logical, Bill. Because they lie and endlessly look for loopholes to cheat through, they assume everyone does. I’d bet they’ve tried this technique and are disappointed to have come up empty.

This is wonderful! Imagine being able to vaccinate an entire retirement complex in an afternoon, or a school. This has incredible potential for public health!

Also just more grift/squandered taxpayer money. I wonder how long she has to be in any one position for a pension to kick in? It's quite a racket.

The way she swivels her shoulders while listening to the question makes me wish for 16 tons to fall from the sky.

Same as it ever was.

It’s a new kind of war when you must assume everything our govt tells us is false.

2nd grade? Sounds about right. I wonder if they included speeches written by others. I’d have said he’s closer to first grade level.

You know all this, it just feels good to get it out lol ✊🏼

The belief in a god absolves humans (and, importantly, their leaders) from responsibility for the care and feeding of other humans, from working to solve social inequities and cruelties. “God’s will!” postulates a horrific deity. The smirking cynicism of Mike Johnson was inevitable.

Did you switch to music or books or keep busy and stop looking at current events? Teach us, please. I can’t stop.

Oh it’s John Wayne, no MARK Wayne Mullen. If any Dem other than Fetterman approves him, glob help us. Surely some Republicans also despise this man.

Now do Hegseth, please!

‘Sepsis is a life-threatening, rapid immune response to infection that causes tissue damage, organ failure, and possible death. Key symptoms include fever/shivering, extreme pain, confusion, and clammy skin. It requires immediate emergency treatment with antibiotics and fluids.’
