Cabal, Woke, BLM, LGBT, CRT, Communism, Fascism ==BAD SHT. That's all there is, all the meaning these deplorables are able to attach to the terms on the left. No need to go into detail, just know...

Esperanto as a Second Language?

We just haven't recognized it yet.
Consider:

Team Red is opposed to: mental health care for children; red flag laws; background checks; licenses to carry, and safety training for said licenses....

She's definitely a reporter who will be missed. One of a long line of noted reporters from NPR.

I would agree on the "slam-dunk" case against Mr. Trump. From just what I've seen reported, and his quoted statements as well as some of the laws in question, certainly obstruction of justice at a...

As a kid, I was the biggest kid on the block. Being an Asperger's child and not physically adept, for a while some of the other kids thought it significant if they could beat me up -- I...

It's my experience that it's the younger drivers who will make high-speed lane changes with only a few feet of clearance front and back. Not much room for error. Having to have eye-sight checked, and...

...piling p on my deck.

I was going to say, another can and you'd need to remove that vent in the ceiling!

Thank you.

Geez! You'd think they'd want to sail dem boats upright, so's the sails could catch more wind!!!

The other night as I was cooking dinner, I mentioned to the wife that it seems that when hens nurse their young they tend to favor the right breast, for historically (in my kitchen at least) it is...

I was hung up on this originally, as well. Opening one door reduces the odds to 50-50. However, as has been pointed out, the choice was already made, when the odds were 1/3. It's not a new game with...

Organizing liberals is like herding cats.

One definition of liberal is: widely distributed. Thus non-homogeneous. Conservatives prefer people who look and think like they do. Homogeneous.

Where are you going to get the people, indeed. And no, INDEED(c) can't help you here. These ships would need OSHA approvals (or their maritime equivalent), and where are these ships going to get that?

Bean counters are good at counting. Period. I once was rented out to a highly profitable local manufacturing company. The company was acquired by a group of bean counters in Chicago. Less than 10...

I hope they know where they're going.

I hope that's not his idea of a "mother-in-law" cabin.

Naughty Newtie put an end to bipartisanship 30 years ago. We've been circling the drain ever since, getting closer with each election cycle.

My wife would never ride with me on Highway 1 if I was Southbound. She could almost tolerate the drive Northbound.

That they all survived makes a statement about the car--it came apart without taking its occupants with it.

My own anti-gun argument is best exemplified by a precept from "Meti's Sword Manual:"

"Man always strives to cut man. Therefore he who draws his sword the fastest is the survivor. To pre-empt...

I too am more mindful of the solstices. But I must admit, the shotguns and automatic weapons fire does wake me up in time to welcome in the new year.

Perhaps a US Navy undercover (sea?) operative? Not totally unreal.

With autism and Aspergers, most likely the triple 9s means the 99.9 percentile score on IQ tests. Considering the asymptotic nature of the toes of a bell curve, I question even the 99 percentile...

This "hollywood" need to inject drama into the story also infects novels. Too many times, the "investigator" invites a non-unrelated third party to participate in the pursuit of answers.

If you wear glasses and have to wear a mask, you may be entitled to condensation.

^That's a funny.

You think someone else made the list for him?

From the intartubes: "I bought a Russian advent calendar. Whenever I open a window, an oligarch falls out."

While working for yet another firm, I was the mechanical designer for a project for a company in Spain. It was decided that some of the parts would be fabbed here, while others would be made locally,...

Some years back, I worked for a company that had hired an ex-navy guy to work as our purchasing agent. In one of my designs, I specified an aluminum extrusion that was manufactured in Sweden, and...

Clearly rank ageism.

I braved the cold (49 F.) to go out in shirtsleeves to remove a couple of boxes from the SUV. I survived w/o frostbite, I'm happy to report.

This is why so many folks hate California and its...

Sadly, this includes some beautiful Victorian era houses. Ferndale is often touted as the Victorian Village. My wife and I considered buying one there, but sadly, it had been knocked off its...

The north end of the San Andreas fault runs into the ocean near where the Eel river ends. It appears that the bridge to Ferndale (built around 1911, IIRC) still stands undamaged -- the approaches to...

I'm currently working with Tropilia Noire, 70%. I'll usually use 65%-70% for my ganaches, but will blend the chocolate to 80% for dipping.

Valhrona has some dynamite flavor beans as well. Tonights...

I switched to using Valrhona chocolate in my candy several years ago. A couple of decades ago I was using Scharfenberger chocolate, who'se plant was in Berkley at the time. I'd tell my friends I was...

Last Monday, we drove from Carlsbad (we visited her brother in Vista, in northern Sand Diego County Sunday) to Indian Wells, by Palm Desert and Palm Springs, to visit my cousin the artist. We had...

Old Spanish proverb: "Take what you want, and pay for it." The epitome of fiscal prudence. (Tax and spend, in other words; an epithet in the Republican vocabulary.)

Power corrupts. I know a former small-city councilman who talks about this effect in even a small community. Very tantalizing, quite attractive.

As an addendum to Rob's post (#30):

While cryptocurrencies were initially touted as hiding their sales histories, the FBI and CIA have tools for tracing the history of any cryptocoin. All...

Oh, No!!!! We mustn't offend the JOB CREATORS!

It's been a few years since I looked at this problem. At the time, the solution I had come up with was a second computer running Linux, with two additional hard drives connected: the source drive to...

OK, so I make chocolate candies. May be weird, but I'm always welcome wherever I go. Wheee!

T. S. Eliot wrote an excessively short novel. Called it The Wasteland.

Truly time-warped!

But what does it do?

Thanks, John. I am grateful for all the Woodenboat Forum friends I've met and have yet to meet. I'm also grateful for the nurse at the restaurant who helped me to the floor when I passed out. I'm...

Somewhere a couple of decades ago, the Republicans lost the ability to govern. As in, knowing how to craft legislation, how to go about enacting legislation once passed. It was about a decade ago...

Aw, go ahead and make fun of the cheese. You know you want to. Here, let me give you a hand: I love all that American vulcanized dairy-like product sliced up and oozing like that. Guilty pleasures...
