In the context of keeping oneself safe around animals, someone once described chimpanzees as "60 kilos of perfectly coordinated muscle and teeth" which stuck with me I am often surprised at the blasé attitude of non-farming folk around a ton of muscle with horns and hooves. Ok, I can be mo...

I clearly am unsentimental and uncurious about these things! When my father died about 40-50 years ago my mother organized the funeral service and cremation. I never asked about what happened to my father's ashes, and never wondered, all I knew was that I had heard nothing of an urn or discussion of...

Lumpy's appeal (thanks!) on my unlawyerly and unsympathetic reading can be paraphrased: "The mark knew the so-called judges for the competition were Lumpy's stooges. He knew that even if every file consisted of plain ASCII text saying 'this is not election data' the prize would never be awarded...

It's nice to have youngsters at a funeral (obviously only if it's appropriate and not distressing for the kids) as it provides that reminder that the circle of life continues, that all lives come to their ends, whether too early or too late, or even when it feels right, lives end while new lives beg...

did you all see bobo do the sign of the cross? She is trying to take that away from Biden It was a weird triangle. I’m sure Biden knows how to do the actual sign. Which is not a triangle. Maybe it's a new thing: the Holy Triangle whose points represent the three aspects of The Trinity? Of course it...

I like the way Barron Trump has his father's tie on his shoulders. ;) Somebody mentioned that they had never seen a photograph of Barron Trump with a smile – happy or forced – on his face. As he emerges from his childhood purdah, it might become apparent whether that was a quirk of the public photos...

I would just like to take note of the fact that someone used this thread to report a threadjack in another thread, :nope: but instead it turned into a separate threadjack of this thread, proving once again that there are Earthlings using the Intartoobz. :lol: And your post, o Foglord, is a … ??

It is only unglamourous ex colonials that drop the U and have their own version of the gallon etc

C'mon Dave, even the limeypoms, let alone glamorous ex-colonials (you mean kiwis?) don't have 3 u-s in unglamorous!

Is it normal to park one's "large luxury yacht" without fenders – either the traditional sausage-shaped balloons or heavy duty sex dolls if a pervert skipper prefers? Costs nothing to deploy them and definitely protects the boat better than leaving them inboard. I guess the Kraptain hasn'...

Especially considering that isn't even Greene's actual account.

What!?!? You mean the "(Parody)" in the account handle doesn't mean "checked and guaranteed to be the genuine and true person"? Shocked I am!!

Thanks all! My partner is keeping me company until they chase her out. Typing seems to set off the IV alarm, so prolly won’t be posting more tonight. Don't trap the IV line under your arm and it should be happy. They go off when there line gets kinked or trapped. Good to hear that you're recovering...

If you drive long distances the auto-stop-start only activates very occasionally so saves negligible fuel (but isn't very annoying). If you drive short city routes with many junctions the auto-stop-start activates more frequently and annoys you (and possibly increases wear on some components). Sound...

:think: Presumably if a non-involved lawyer he believes his interpretation of the law :boxing: to be super-critical and fears it might be missed by everybody in court – oh the injustice! – his correct line of approach is to either (1) just STFU, or, if he cannot restrain his enthusiasm (2) pester th...

Diamonds are cheap to mine. The days of them being difficult to extract and hence ultra-expensive are long, long gone. It's the De Beers cartel that keeps prices artificially high, bullying or buying out anybody selling diamonds at their true value, restricting global supply, and marketing to ensure...

:snippity: From that link and the decision: Mr. Laity did not appear at the hearing, and no testimony was offered under oath verifying the assertions in his filing Shirking his merkun duty. :P :shrug: Whoda guessed that Laity would be an indolent, cojones-free crap-flinger? Wot, everybody? :o

So the view here is that "the only good Republican is a dead Republican"?

Shrouding birthers is newsworthy! :towel: Oh c'mon bob! "Shrouding" implies a deliberate act of not engaging with someone trying to promote an argument. This is simple indifference, nobody cares; insofar as they are noticed at all, the birthers are tossed into the same "are they stil...

Why yes, fuckhead, you can most certainly respond freely to what Ms. Daniels said. Farcical. Katie Phang's comment on Twitter was that Trump has the option to respond to Stormy's narrative, yes, he is free to testify in the trial, those are the rules and that is his right. I'm sorry, my hearing's, ...

RFK jr killed a worm!

Being a Trump-supporting lawyer does not immediately suggest a mind that is razor-sharp and business-like, does it?

Effin' tacky name.

Perhaps Camford Academy was already taken?

Therein lies one of the sadnesses of American life: perhaps this argument could happen anywhere, and anybody in any country can lose their temper, and some will will progress to violent intentions or actual violence. But because guns are accessible, instead of a fist fight, a complaint to authoritie...

To be honest, I’m surprised more trials don’t end in acquittals. But I don’t think jurors really understand (or care about) reasonable doubt. Not a lawyer, not a juror, not a jurist, but that might well be true. I'm not a complete fuckwit but I'm sure I'd struggle with managing the evidence and arg...

Checks, personal or otherwise: organizations typically allow directors and staff to purchase items or services with personal funds and later be reimbursed by the organization. So a personal payment is not direct evidence of a payment by the company. But but but … if the organization's records show a...
