How do you prepare for a hurricane? SoCal person - no hurricane experience!!!
Response to diva77 (Original post) Fri Aug 18, 2023, 11:39 PM Fill up the car and get some cash as power may be out for a couple of days. Fill the bathtub with water for flushing. Get bottled water and non-perishable food for 3-4 days. Get a go-bag ready. Credit cards, important papers, etc. Get one of those compressors you keep in your car. When roofs get blown off the roofing nails go everywhere! If you are handy, a tire plugging kit comes in handy.
I saw Asteroid City so that you don't have to
Sat Jul 15, 2023, 01:28 AM It’s ponderous, dull, and annoying in its self — conscious artificiality. I often enjoy quirky movies, but the quirkiness in this film was so over — done that I was tired of it after the first five minutes. After the first 15 minutes, I was ready to leave, but I stuck around until I finished my popcorn. Once the popcorn was done, we left. I would pay the money again, just to not have to watch it.
"We Are Not Crooks"
Response to Beachnutt (Original post) Fri May 12, 2023, 08:38 PM 1. Crooks. Republicans. Interchangeable Although Nixon is a rank amateur crook compared to the current omnipotent potentate of the party of responsibility and law and order and sound fiscal management. Cough, cough!

WTF was Charles and/or Buckingham Palace thinking, asking Elton John to perform
Response to 50 Shades Of Blue (Reply #1) Fri Mar 3, 2023, 04:09 PM 4. I believe that was at a time when he was in serious debt. He hasn’t been that desperate financially for many years now. And, most RightWingers had no idea of Rush’s own past forays. I think he was always deeply closeted, himself, but wouldn’t target gays like other closeted Republicans, like Graham.
Proud Boy Tusitala 'Tiny' Toese guilty on 10 counts in Portland street clash
Source: Oregonian By Zane Sparling | The Oregonian/OregonLive A notorious street brawler is facing years in state prison after he was convicted Thursday of inciting and then participating in a melee outside an abandoned Kmart in east Portland in 2021.

New emergency bid to appeal, block huge Nevada lithium mine
Response to OAITW r.2.0 (Reply #4) Tue Feb 21, 2023, 06:44 PM 8. "But if you want to have cars running on batteries instead of gas" You meant to say "If you want to have sprawling suburbs which are designed to necessitate car dependence". I had a graphic that also included "self-driving cars" but have misplaced that one. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink

David Crosby - Democratic Underground
Thu Jan 19, 2023, 09:12 PM When I was living at Turk & Taylor, in the absolute pits of The Tenderloin, David Crosby was playing around the corner at The Warfield on Market Street. I was walking down the sidewalk, and there at the backstage loading entrance on Taylor was Dave Crosby, sitting on the hood of an old Cadillac, out in the air and digging the scene; probably reflecting on his long history here in San Francisco. The Cadillac looked like it had about as many miles on it as David himself.
No alcohol sales permitted at Qatar's World Cup stadium sites
Source: Reuters DOHA Nov 18 (Reuters) - Alcoholic beer will not be sold at Qatar's World Cup stadiums, world soccer governing body FIFA said on Friday, a last minute reversal which raised questions among some supporters about the host country's ability to deliver on promises to fans. The announcement comes two days before Sunday's kickoff of the World Cup, the first to be held in a conservative Muslim country with strict controls on alcohol, the consumption of which is banned in public.
Dozens of artifacts seized from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Response to Deuxcents (Reply #5) Sat Sep 3, 2022, 12:11 AM 6. Significant looting took place during the 19th century. This was the era of "heroic" explorers. Take whatever you find. This was also an era where stuff was destroyed. Note the artillery practice on the Egyptian Sphinx. I believe I recall seeing mummies at the Met in the '50's during jr. high field trip. Harvard just returned Native Amer. remains to tribes. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink
24 House Republicans break with leadership, vote with Democrats to pass chip bill
Response to William769 (Original post) Thu Jul 28, 2022, 08:33 PM 8. Schumer What Iím wondering is it less a compromise with Manchin, or more that Schumer backed him into a corner that left few options for the Dino? We talk a lot about what a wily SOB McConnell is. Love or hate Moscow Mitch, he is formidable. Is Schumer as clever and ruthless as the Turtle? Maybe those qualities are part of the job description if you are Leader. I brought this up because of a picture I recently saw of Schumerís face.
Murdoch's New York Post dumps Trump, calling him "unworthy to be chief executive again"
Response to MyMission (Reply #8) Sun Jul 24, 2022, 01:08 PM 21. The people who enabled Trump and embraced him as the one who could advance their agenda are now through with him. He is of no more use to them except as someone to reject in order to make themselves look sane and patriotic. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink
The Colorado Avalanche just won the Stanley Cup.

U.S. tech industry frets about handing data to states prosecuting abortion
Source: Reuters The technology industry is bracing for the uncomfortable possibility of having to hand over pregnancy-related data to law enforcement, in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Friday to overturn the Roe v. Wade precedent that for decades guaranteed a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.
Perfect description of Trump:
Response to tblue37 (Reply #10) Sun Jun 19, 2022, 01:51 AM 17. OMB Omg, really? Old Sir Winston must be spinning in his grave right now at the idea of THAT being an impression of him! What a horrible insult that is to such a great man. God, TFG was such a pathetic farce of a president. (Along with all the other awful things he is and was, of course.
