  1. True and I disagree with blaming him. The US pumped money into the economy to keep it going at a "little" faster rate than necessary, but it was difficult for even the best of economists to forecast how much was too much and too little which would do less. Factor in those along the supply chain "adding" more than the inflation rate to maintain margins (meat, fuel, etc,) creating a hyperinflation. I have to admit being a bit surprised at the level of response in the past 36 hours. Mobilizing and putting on alert most of the "Quick Reaction Forces" is the right amount of response. I had replied to Skydekker that I thought the response would be a lot of words and finger-shaking. As mentioned earlier, I've never been a fan of politicizing the USSC. The only factor of weight should be the law. I do not agree with Biden's proclamation of placing a black female on the USSC as the primary matter of criteria. I do believe the criteria should be the matter of law first and if the best person for the job is a "trans-lesbian of color" so be it. In business, I was a frim believer in "blind" interviews, but recognize that's a bit unrealistic when it comes to the USSC. That is incorrect. It's actually something like three trillion to 146 Billion. But, with that there are two factors, lost money was used to build cities in which no one lives - but they have seriously outpaced us on 5G and technology. that infrastructure spending PLUS becoming the world's manufacturing hub is directly related to China having reduced its poverty levels from 88% to .7% in the past forty years. No argument. I was a fan.
  2. For some reason, I've lost the desire for some soft chocolate chip cookies.
  3. There's a big difference between a speech from the oval office and a press conference.
  4. I'd like to address this, Joe. I would have liked to have seen Biden win and come out swinging. When he was shunned at the inauguration, first words out of his mouth should have been, "Yeah, I don't like losers either" He should have shown strength in his victory and been strong & decisive in speaking with "the people" instead of going back to the "older" politics as usual. Every month, he should have given a strong speech from the oval office. In my opinion, people would have thought, "Ya know, maybe I got this guy wrong." Instead, people are thinking, they got what was left and just like the sentiments echoed here - he wasn't my choice, but he wasn't Trump either. Chocolate chip, please. And, not that old hard brittle shit you got in the back. :)

    Got the following from Nerdgirl's Twitter feed and thought I'd share. https://iac.gatech.edu/events/item/654784/recent-tumult-eastern-europe-eurasia-aggressive-politics-prelude-conflict >Select Online to register.
  6. See, it's comments like this that show your true "color."
  7. I've never been a fan of politicizing the Supreme Court. Don't like it when either side does it.
  8. You can tell you’re getting older… 1. When you can sit on the toilet and flush to wash your testicles and realize that's the most action you'll get that day. It's like having a pair of socks with quarters in 'em. 2. You go to Starbucks with a guy half your age and he orders something from the Barista and you have to ask him, "What language is that?" 3. I forgot what number 3 was.
  9. No. John. You were an ugly skinny kid.
  10. You mean like this? https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/271501-more-sacrifices-to-the-2nd-amendment/page/29/?tab=comments#comment-4957662
  11. Sorry, couldn't help it.
  12. He was hoping you would Google it.
  13. We'll shake our finger at them and threaten them with sanctions.
  14. Morning, Jerry. My apologies for missing this. Some days I read and others I skim, so I musta been in skimming mode that day. What you were referring to is the Military Service Obligation. It is comprised primarily of Soldiers who need to fulfill their Military Service Obligation (MSO) under Section 651 of Title 10 USC. One actually signs up for six or eight years, but does half of that on active duty, then the rest is done by being in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Many think they are "done" when they get their DD214, but they're not. And, in some essential MOS's one can be called up much longer than that depending on the MSO (but they sign a document of understanding when they're given that MOS' contract). Back then, we had to go register in the IRR (as you did), but nowadays it's all electronic. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/651
  15. I had to look it up. My mind says, "If I had the graphic talent to do that - they would be NFT's."
  16. I didn't believe you. Google tells me I was was wrong.
  17. Ummmm. Tucker. It's a piece of fucking candy, dude.
  18. What we're really talking about is - collaboration.
  19. I used to know a DZO who was also a package forwarding service, but he went on vacation for 15-25 years.

    Last page - notes on disclosures.
  22. You did notice we were talking about Vietnam, right? As to all the hoo haah about VOLAR; it's really quite simple. They're smarter than us. Same reason there's not much diversity in skydiving. They think whites are fucking retarded for jumping out of planes.
  23. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance; baffle them with bullshit?

    I can't help but wonder if that when the unvaxxed see that - it begets five vaccinations. I once had a wreck on my bike which launched me in the air and my head landed on a curb. My Shoei helmet was split in half instead of my head and I had a mild concussion. THE NEXT DAY - five guys I ride with went out and bought Shoei full face helmets.
