a similar treatise might be written about life. life always leads to death. it can be postponed, be put in remission, at least briefly. but it is inevitable.

we can't...

dad had this album (double?) when i was a kid. formative, it was.

my own kids can sing thirty thousand pounds of bananas. that makes them special, these days. it doesn't take much.

ok but, what if one car isn't moving and the other is going fifty. do they both experience the damage of a vehicle traveling into a wall at 50mph? or 25mph? or other.

ewww. seriously? so gross.

one stone and one and one tenth stone?

i'm not good with the metric system.

i feel much the same on all counts. in a better world, supporters of reproductive choice could afford such a subtle conversation. but, we are forced to traffic in absolutes in response to absolutes.

and here is something interesting: ron desantis has flipped from his position of indifference towards the ukraine invasion, called putin a "war criminal". that if he could "snap his fingers" he'd...

i got in a yelling match with a guy on a skip loader at the local recycler for taking a photograph of my own metal.

in the older residential neighborhoods around here you don't even go to the dump. just put it out by the curb. gone in 60 seconds.

that's great.

potential band name. or maybe the title of a book examining the human condition.

here's an idea to ponder.

we all know people who can overeat and not gain weight. which means they are, in fact, particularly inefficient at storing energy. that is another gene or gene set that...

look how quickly you take argument for persecution.

i am reminded how...well, too many recent cultural phenomena to list.

well, there is widening disconnect in many realms of inquiry and understanding, between what we discover through science and factual analysis, and what we insist on in public discourse.

i am all...

on a thread about looming environmental and climatic catastrophe...you want to "start with" welfare reform.

a more perfect expression of reactionary ideology may not be possible.

on the other hand, isn't type 2 diabetes heritable?

insulin treatments have been saving lives for a century now. is it not possible that insulin itself has caused an increase in type 2 diabetes? ...

if that’s what happens, yeah, we should all be upset.

now, do you think that reparations for slavery are the same as a tax cut?

point taken, garret. i do understand, as i indicated, that markets are local.

i feel confident that our local market is being badly distorted by people of means investing in residential real...

well, if you think labs are totally nuts, try a german shorthaired pointer. which is what fergus is.

higher strung and more willful, in my experience, than any lab i have ever known.

to elaborate my labor shortage analogy:

the difference between a labor shortage and a labor surplus is only a couple percentage points. in other words, if just two out of every hundred people...

well, "affordable housing" is what many flipper homes would be if they weren't flipped. they become less affordable because money is going into the flipper's pockets. and the problems remain, under...

mister...

tape and dope do nada for that type of fitting. if your compression washer fails the water leaks through the top of the nut where the tube passes through, not the threads.

the insistence that being "woke" means that one adheres to some version of crt is about as meaningful as insisting that conservatives adhere to "fiscal responsibility".

just about useless, irl.

one brake, please.

or is that front hub a brake? internets say there is a “mini drum brake”…

if you put fenders on it, is it still a "bobber"? asking because i don't know.
