Looking at year to date, they seem to be doing fine. So we need to keep spreading the word about them. Lower sales should drop their stock price over time

I used to live in a housing development called "Maize Meadows" that was built on a former cornfield. At least it was truth in naming. 😊

The instructions were wrong though. My brother and I found back in the 70s that they were much more effective when thrown overhand. Especially for personal combat.

I do hope that all those episodes are preserved somewhere, even if they are not available online anymore.

A growing number of officials seem to hope that increasing the risk of illness and death for protestors will discourage protests. Completely immoral and probably unconstitutional.

Note that there are only two manufacturers of the "glass sandwiches" for such windows in the USA. So the differentiator is the frames that surround the "sandwiches", installation, and warranty/service.

That must be difficult. I seem to discover new afflictions often, but I'm over 60. You shouldn't be dealing with this so young. 😞

I too fail to understand the relatively poor box office performance. This was a movie I wanted to see in IMAX (or equivalent), not wait for streaming or even to settle for seeing on a regular theater screen. And I was not disappointed at all. I thought it was very well done.

My girlfriend got a job at a Uni, which paid for her MFA, and she found it very helpful. However, working full time while working on an MFA is a heavy load to carry.

It is miserable that they build that site without the ability to deep link to the chart you want. You have to navigate through a bunch of links every time.

If you go over it with a wire brush (or more efficiently, a wire brush bit in a drill), you'll bring the grain out (by removing some of the burned soft wood in between) for a really cool look.

They owner wants to retire and is trying to sell, hopefully to someone who will keep it open. Much different than being forced to close so it can be replaced by new development.

the NYPD, aided by cable news, is trying to further push the “outside agitator” narrative at Columbia the evidence? a bike lock and chain “this is not what students bring to school. this is what professionals bring to campuses.” Columbia literally sells these bike locks and chains to students

Today is the last day U.S. hospitals will be required to report COVID admissions, capacity, or occupancy data to the federal government. This will make it even more difficult to track the state of the ongoing COVID pandemic, as well as monitor potential pandemics like bird flu.

So many things could be made better if we found a way to frame them in a context of enlightened self-interest. Do this because future-you will be grateful even if you don't want to do it to help someone else. People seem selfish these days but don't give up on getting them to do the right things.

Right. They didn't die and didn't stay sick for a week or two. It helps but it isn't perfect. Until we have perfect, I'll take what I can get.

The potential election results are terrifying and in the past, I'd have been knocking on doors to get out the vote but I just can't this time. I accept that and don't feel guilty about it, yet if the potential is realized, it will be very difficult not to feel just a tiny bit responsible.

Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised that such a task turned out to be quicker and easier than expected, but it is rare. At least it is nice to know the dread and procrastination were justified and it wasn't dumb to have felt about it the way you did.

A lot of people do it just for the Married Filing Jointly tax benefit and/or to get on one health insurance plan, especially if no new offspring are expected or desired. No religious aspect to it at all, it just saves money. Probably not what this clown is thinking at all.

The one I still do on occasion is when I'm purchasing one or two small non-food items and the place is dead and the cashier asks, "Do you want a bag for that?" I have been known to answer, "No, I'll eat them here." just to see their reaction. I'll stop.

I moved here in 1980 from Norfolk. The first time I heard the Wednesday noon Tornado Siren test, I was very concerned. In Norfolk, it was an Air Raid siren test (due to the Navy base) and was on a different day of the week. So I momentarily thought we were under attack.

My PT says that my frozen shoulder was due to decades of using a mouse wrong, but in my sleep, I did the one more thing needed to set it off. [Do not use your shoulder when moving a mouse - it is for big movements, not millions of tiny ones.]
