I'm not saying that it's the same thing, but that almost sounds like the story of the smoker who quits, then tries it again to see if it's the same -- getting hooked on it again. My car meet at the end of April was moved from Pensacola to Alabama, but I'm still heading down to Florida afterward, anyway. My cheap self will just "camp" sleeping in the car, again. Some friends of mine rented a camp ground, and there should be room for me to park on one of the lots which they reserved for one night. Bonus, that means there will be a campfire. I could bring a grill with me, and cook on the side of the road like Sheldon, but that sounds like too much hassle, plus too much to pack. I think I have a campfire iron sandwich press maker thing somewhere. |

As you're going into Nashville, get off of I-65 at Old Hickory (TN-45), and go east to Gallatin Pike, where there are bunches of Mexican joints that look both good and cheap, both to the south and north. Just put "Madison, TN taquerias" into Google. --Bryan |

I'll see what I can do it about it. Talk to some people, get in with the makers and shakers and see if maybe I can't just do something about this. Funny how we both don't care for the news but for different reasons. I too do not care for the local news, as in the newspaper where the sports is almost all local with the NFL and so forth ignored almost entirely. On the other hand, not hearing about Ukraine is fine with me. Who really knows what's going on over there? Does anyone really care? And if so, do they really believe the newspeople are going to bring it to them? I have never liked the news on TV. More spoon fed. Same with the internet. The paper was always my preference. But now I have tossed even that as I never got it for the news to begin with. I got it for stories of interest as devoid as politics as possible. Funny thing about the local news - the various degrees of 'localness' to it. Like seeing that someone in your town has been shot dead and when you see the area is not near you or one in which you never go, it might as well be another planet they're talking about. So it's funny how even the most local news has it's own degree of 'localness.' |

They had some great college stations that played a wide variety of music not commonly heard. The DJs were not loud. They all had their own style though. And they'd stay out of the music flow until once every 3 or 4 pieces, then come in and knowingly explain what you just heard and other factoids related to it. I've been living in W-S NC for 30 years now and the radio stations suck, so I don't listen to them. I've got youtube on right now playing some stuff I like from the 30s. As for things changing, I agree the changes usually seem to be for the worst - but could it be that you have changed as much if not more than the station you're talking about? Not saying that's so, only that it's possy-poss. |

I snip a lot of long stuff, but I do it for the sake of neatness, not so I can brag about it like I just made the world safe for future generations. There is never a need to snip your comments anyway because you don't have much to say. "No, it should have been Emmylou Harris." What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Just because she's known to some degree, now anything you say with her name in it is funny or has some kind of meaning? You are pathetically alone, even more so than me. |

This proves you wrong about A/C in summer: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/06/26/bjorn-lomborg-climate-change-coverage-ignores-the-heavy-impact-of-heat-on-cold-deaths/ Bjorn Lomborg: "Climate Change Coverage Ignores the Heavy Impact of heat on cold deaths" This article was originally published in USA Today, and has been reproduced here with kind permission from the Copenhagen Consensus Center. " Heat deaths are declining in countries with good data, likely because of ever more air conditioning. This is abundantly clear for the US, which has seen increasing hot days since 1960 affecting a much greater population. [ https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-heat-waves Heat waves are occurring more often than they used to in major cities across the United States. Their frequency has increased steadily, from an average of two heat waves per year during the 1960s to six per year during the 2010s and 2020s ] >>>> ___Yet, the number of heat deaths has halved___<<<<. So while global warming could result in more heat deaths, technological development in, for instance, the US, is actually resulting in fewer heat deaths. More importantly, cold deaths vastly outweigh heat deaths worldwide. This is not just true for cold countries like Canada but also warmer countries like the US, Spain and Brazil. Even in India, cold deaths outweigh heat deaths by 7-to-1. Globally, about 1.7 million deaths are caused by cold, more than five times the number of heat deaths. I suggest you read this short scholarly article, it will clear up your misconceptions: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412017310346 Environment International Volume 111, February 2018, Pages 239-246 A multi-country analysis on potential adaptive mechanisms to cold and heat in a changing climate </> |

Or in Arab banlieues... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banlieue In France, a banlieue (UK: /bɒnˈljuː/;[1] French: [bɑ̃ljø] (listen)) is a suburb of a large city, or all its suburbs taken collectively. Beginning in the 1970s, the term banlieue has taken on a particular connotation, becoming a popular word for economically-deprived suburbs featuring low-income housing projects (HLMs) that are home to large immigrant populations. People of foreign descent reside in what are often called poverty traps. -- GM |

There's a perspective that says they're more hygienic than modern toilets because you don't make contact with anything. |

Most new expressions bug me. There seem to be more new expressions today than ever. But maybe the amount has always been the same, only to bar for acceptance has been lowered - probably due to the internet where just about anything can trend at any moment. Hey, that's the latest trend, man - the "Anything can trend at any moment" trend. Go with the flow dude. Take it in stride. Groovy. Right on. I mean yo man, it is what it is! |

What's the definition for the verb? The dictionary is a great reference tool. But as far as everyday language goes I have never viewed the lexicon as something written in stone and unchangeable. When it comes to words I say, "Let it fly." At the same time it's nice to have a good foundation such as the dictionary hanging around. I am all for proper grammar - not so hot with it myself - but at the same time see communication as the main goal, not some kind of a grammar content. For example, if a person gets their point across with words of his own creation or just basic grunts and gestures, to me that's as good as any word. Damn, this discussion dun gots me all triggered up and shit. |

That first line got a chuckle out of me. That phrase is used by lots of people before they're getting ready to make a point. "Well, as a genuine liberal for many years, let me say this........" I suppose everyone pulls the same trick to some degree. Funny though. Now, as Thomas Joseph, post responder extraordinaire, let me just say this: I am entertained but in no way surprised by your reports as I believe they apply to all religions and gatherings of all sorts involving a lot of people - too many people. Same applies to Catholics. Especially the ones from the Boston area whose children were molested 40 years ago but they're not talking about it till today and they're all surprised that anything of that nature could possibly happen in a Catholic institution. And of course the surprise they show is just an act to hide the guilt they feel for knowingly sending their kids into harms way because they were too lazy to take care of them on their own. You are right though - no doubt - and I tell it to most Jewish people I meet. Most of my friends have been Jewish. Still I tell them that their humor and lifestyle are cultish and far behind the times and is really just a country club where Jewish people can hide when and if things get tough. "Daddy, can we talk about Jewish people again today?" |
