My wife and I had a perfect viewing spot on our south facing deck. At about 2:25, using the "eclipse" glasses, you could see the moon start to take a bite out of the sun. There was no outward manifestation at that time. The sunlight seemed as bright as ever. By 2:45, the moon had covered a...

Here's a link to the current cloud cover in the U.S. - https://www.wunderground.com/maps/satellite/regional-infrared That map almost looks like something has swept the clouds away from the path of the eclipse. It is currently sunny and in the sixties here in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Totality is ab...

Generation Slide Rule here. I remember using it mostly for chemistry class. I married someone who won a slide rule competition. I think we still have them packed away somewhere but if someone offered me a million dollars I couldn't think how to use it any more. I still have one sitting on my comput...

I have been following the weather forecast along the path especially NE Ohio. We used to live there and still have a lot of friends. As of now the forecast is mostly cloudy. I could have guessed that. I have never lived in a cloudier place than Canton from October through April. I live in Bay Villa...

The fact that you have to ask that question, and the possibility that it is, in fact, real, tells us all we need to know about emptygee.

Back in 2008, there was a ballot measure to rename a sewage treatment plant near San Francisco after then-president George W. Bush.

The measure failed by a large margin.

Any bets that TFG got a very large cut of the take? I'm thinking 50 percent.

It's too bad Smith can't mandamus her ass for absolute failure to make any decisions or to move the case forward in any meaningful way. FWIW, an appellate court can issue a mandamus writ for a district court's failure to act. But it is rarely asked for, and even more rarely granted. I think, if the...

Poll:
Which is better - to have been 20 in the 70's, or 70 in the 20's?

I'm thinking each had it's benefits.

I turned 20 in 1971 and 70 in 2021.

I had more fun and was more confident about the future when I was 20.

In the 1972 movie, Goldie Hawn played the ditzy friend of Eddy Albert Jr. Decent movie.

In the movie, she tells Eddy that she once dated a member of the Young Republican Club. Then she realized that there is no such thing as a young republican.

It has been stated here that, in deals such as this, there is usually a clause that prohibits the recipient (TFG) from selling the stock they received for a period of several months from the date that the deal closed. Does anyone know if the orange one's deal with DWAC contains such a clause? It wou...

He's going to use the Advice of Council defense, because he already said he wasn't going to use the Advice of Counsel defense. I get confused with all the cases Trump is juggling. Is this the one in which he recently said he was going to use a "presence of counsel" defense, rather than &q...

It just doesn’t have the same appeal to the loonies as the 2nd

I think I read somewhere that the 3rd Amendment is the only one that has never been the basis for a SCOTUS case.

It looks like they are trying to claim that defendamts have a duty to correct the record because she allegedly found new evidence in her favor (she didn't, and the information she is relying on was publicly available during or before the discovery phase) - failure to do so is in her view worthy of ...

I'm not sure Junior realizes that Biden...is a practicing Catholic. :shrug: Junior says Biden’s DOJ has designated all Catholics as domestic terrorists and banks are now required to report everyone to the FBI who buys a Bible. Does that include everyone who buys TFG's "God Bless The USA" ...

And not afraid to spout off on subjects he knows nothing about, like nighttime maritime navigation, how fast tugboats can be dispatched, how far a ship can "coast" after losing power, the currents and riptides in the Baltimore harbor.

I saw an interview she did, claiming that Mike Johnson should have refused to allow a Republican congressman (Gallagher?) to resign before the end of his term. I am not a member of Congress, but I don't think that the Speaker has that authority. She was also very upset that Gallagher (if I got the n...

What a waste of a hearing. Trump's tricks did nothing other than delay.

That was the point.

I suspect that if tfg had a free rein he’d expect most of the rest of the world to do what he says full stop. Actually, he expects everyone to do what he says. That was kinda my point. He thinks the world owes him. He doesn't understand that the world doesn't work that way. As I said in my post, if...
