@ThomasWic Everything that's happened in this sorry episode is like Project Mayhem from the movie Fight Club.Life imitating art, I guess.

A guy at a New York Jets game went to many years ago was doing the same thing to John Elway as he was warming up on the sidelines.His heckling was so funny that Elway was just entertained by it.I wish I could remember what the guy said to him, but I remember that it was funny!All Elway could do is shake his head and laugh. Jets fans are known for their heckling.@StevenDouglas

@ThomasWic I saw Brother Theodore do his one man show in NYC in the early nineties. It was one of many strange and wonderful experiences I had in my college years at NYU. It was his classic "standup tragedy" show that he did for decades in a little theater in Greenwich Village."The best thing is not to be born. But who is as lucky as that? To whom does it happen? Not to one among millions and millions of people!"

@ThomasWic I recently found this short video (about ten minutes) about the U-28A Draco, a small airplane that's used by U.S. counter-terrorism forces.It's a converted turboprop passenger and cargo aircraft that is often painted to appear like its civil aviation counterpart for purposes of mission security.The Draco can take off and land on airstrips that are too short for other aircraft. The capabilities and configurations of the Draco are classified. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWLZUatiDzc

@EngOnDemand Not a bad idea for a new business startup. T-shirts, hats, bumper stickers, you name it.

@darulharb I'm the furthest thing from an expert in the law, but Giuliani's suspension seems like a distraction to me.Maybe somebody wants to interrupt any work he might be doing to prepare a case against the Bidens?

@darulharb Thanks for the information, very interesting!It seems like a vindictive campaign against him, which is no surprise, unfortunately.

@watch4thedrop We're lucky to be able to use the local mom and pop pharmacy in town instead of the big retail chain pharmacies.I haven't picked up any prescriptions at CVS for years and I'm glad. The service at the independent pharmacy is much better and it seems like a more professional operation too, with a much less stressful environment overall.Prescription drug safety is much too important to blindly trust these chain pharmacies that care only about the financial bottom line.

@prchrskd I grew up in a small town too, and it was pretty much the same way. Fortunately it's still safe here because our police department is really good. But I think things changed a lot when the computers and smart phones took over. I'm a technology nerd but I remember when I was a kid that we spent our days riding our bikes around town and on dirt trails through the woods instead of sitting around so much.

@Debradelai This is why it always makes me happy to see machines taking over the workplace as a substitute for human labor. Robots don't have unions.Technology will rescue us from this ugly political situation if nothing else will.

@Debradelai The unions seem to fear automation quite a bit in many cases, though.One example:https://theathenianholdinggroup.com/ila-says-union-will-not-service-automated-ships-without-crews/

@Debradelai I agree .The robots are really just tools, of course. Even artificial intelligence is just a tool in the hands of a human worker.

@REX Facebook is a technological dinosaur. It'll go the way of MySpace soon enough, when Web 3.0 takes over.These idiots are fighting over control over a dead technology. Facebook's only value is its database of information coerced from its users.Web 3.0 will do away with the use of centralized repositories of data like Facebook.

@timr That looks like a very steady trend that's not likely to reverse anytime soon.

@SusanInVA This guy taking off during the shipping crisis is too convenient by far. He must have known it was coming and took the coward's way out of the situation. Par for the course for this "administration".

@Lonestar Actually, according to this former sub sonarman, in the South China Sea mountains actually do form all the time on the sea floor, and the Navy's sub navigators have a hard time trying to keep the charts updated.https://youtu.be/W5he2_fJZU4?t=499I like this guy's channel, it's somebody @ThomasWic might like too, if he hasn't heard of him already.
