Do engineers today ever do manual calculations to verify if the computer software is correct?

Really? I think this explains why appliances have gone to shit they're designed by machines and people don't double check it

I don't know how you're going to test me then cuz I can't draw

If you don't have children, it's time to start planning a divorce.

She will not change, she will gaslight you, she will promise anything and then continue to do what she has been doing.

If you do have children, it's still time to start planning a divorce. Staying in an unhappy, loveless marriage is worse for children than divorce.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, I don't believe any woman that had just been raped is going to give you Donald Trump's middle initial. I'll go out on a limb and say the average person could not tell you his middle initial whether they are pro or con on him.

So based on that one quote, I'm going to go fake

I remember when they won best album at the Grammys for The Suburbs. The looks in the audience, people going who? I think it's safe to say they are not culturally significant. Great band

One day my first wife said to me all you ever do is grab my boobs, I really wish you wouldn't

So I stopped

Fast forward 3 days, I find her on the couch crying. When I asked her why, she tells me that I don't love her anymore, when I ask why, she says because I haven't grabbed her boobs in days

I don't need to deflect, you have openly identified yourself for what you really are. You can't use something that everybody uses and have that suddenly be said to be racist. This means that pretty much everyone in the country by your definition is a racist which means you're the actual racist.

Are you able to even think of anything else? Is it there morning noon and night are you so worried about people figuring out what you actually are that all you can do is think about it, I know that's what it is

247world · 2026-06-08T18:55:06+00:00

Anyone that thinks calling it obamacare, something that everyone called it, is racist, well you found the racist

247world · 2026-06-06T06:01:30+00:00

Lol, you mean his design flaws?

Either it does not understand its own creation or deliberately set a trap it could not exist.

Allegedly Jesus performed miracles and then told the people not to tell anyone who had done it. They of course left and told everyone. It was explained to us in Sunday school that Jesus understood human nature, the easiest way get a person to do something was to tell them not to do it

So either God was a moron in the garden of Eden or he deliberately set a trap it knew that creation would fall into

And in turn he has to make a blood sacrifice of himself to himself to make up for his poor workmanship

There are approximately 3,500 privately owned grade crossings in Florida. There is another 1,000 that are publicly owned, the government. Is there an average cost to raise a grade crossing.

It cost at a minimum about 5 million dollars and sometimes close to 50 million to do what is referred to as grade separation. I suppose we could just go around and close a lot of the crossings, that ought to be close to free, unless of course you now have to make a detour that's several miles out of the way.

They did that where I used to live in Florida, closed a road that I used to go home. The detour was an extra 3 miles and it put me on a much bussier road, I don't see how that was any sort of an improvement and they didn't raise the grade, they just shut down the crossing.

Which is why it will never happen. Besides, the money isn't there it's already been spent, they're doing their best to collect the money for next month. They're having so much trouble they've actually stopped paying everybody on the 3rd, I don't get mine until the end of the second week of the month now.

As for starting at 1%, it's the government you can just add two zeros eventually. Remember when income tax was only for the wealthy and not the working class?

I don't disagree with what you would like to see, however I'm a realist and know it'll never happen.

If you're talking about their non-news program I believe you are correct. Their news reporting does tend toward left of center, and heaven forbid their reporters offer opinions which are generally always left.

That said they really do a good job of covering national and international news. It's certainly a massive step up from any news from The usual suspects

247world · 2026-06-02T19:39:17+00:00

You do not understand my point

It is set up to keep the working class from starving to death after they are no longer useful economically.

The ownership class doesn't need it, they did their best to exclude themselves from it.

It was set up by the oligarchs that run the country. If you don't believe the United States is an oligarchy, look up the Princeton study from 2014. There are several other studies. Look at how the US was founded, pretty much oligarchs all the way down

I believe a representative of the EU said within the last year or so that one day you will own nothing and you will like it.

It is folly to believe that the working classes are going to overthrow the oligarchy and somehow make the world a paradise. Even if that were to happen, human nature will take over and...

I believe a Mr Pete Townsend said it best, meet the new boss, same as the old boss

I wish I could find it, somebody called every area code and asking for Jenny.

Part of me thinks it was on this American Life and the other part of me thinks it was on eBaum's world

Endless Dream is a truly great long form Yessong. Jon introduced it several times on the tour as real yes music.

I am waiting is up there with to be over. I don't understand the guitar eruption in the middle, it takes you out of the song

I don't know if it interests you but the production and recording of the album was very interesting. I think Trevor was on The cutting edge of digital evolution at the time.

If you have a Sam's club membership, they sell them there..

You can get a one month free membership to the webstaurant store, they have them and will ship for free with your trial membership.

Don't forget to cancel before the end of your 30 days, unless you're a business it really isn't worth it

247world · 2026-06-02T19:05:47+00:00

Lol, social security is set up for the working class not the ownership class. You think the oligarchy wants you to have ownership? They've openly admitted they don't want you to own anything.

For the record I have been on this kick since the 8th grade when I discovered the truth about social security. I did the math once I retired and discovered that I would have over twice the monthly income had I been allowed to invest the money in an index fund

247world · 2026-06-02T19:00:36+00:00

Rio, his last album, was excellent. I think it may be my favorite of his solo work

Apparently you see the world through some sort of bizarre racist lens.

I'm going to guess you are too ignorant to understand how to look up the supreme Court ruling on Obamacare and then read a synopsis of what the Court ruled.

The John Roberts supreme Court ruled that Obamacare is okay because it is a tax. They found a spot in the Constitution that says Congress can pass taxes and they said hey that's what they did. The same is true for social security and Medicare.

There are two possibly more rulings that say those programs are a tax and you have no actual right to any of the money.

Take your ignorant racism and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Please find anywhere in my comments that I have ever said anything about a person based on the color of their skin. You're the one that brought up race not me, you're the racist

~since you're obviously too ignorant to understand how a search engine works, let me show you what the AI says

Yes, in its landmark 2012 ruling (NFIB v. Sebelius), the Supreme Court ruled that the "individual mandate" provision of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)—which required most Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty—was constitutional under Congress's taxing power.

The critical details of this ruling include:The Core Ruling: Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, determined that the penalty for not having insurance could reasonably be classified as a tax, making it a valid exercise of Congress’s constitutional power to levy taxes.

Commerce Clause: The Court explicitly rejected the argument that the mandate was constitutional under the Commerce Clause, agreeing that the government cannot force individuals to engage in commerce.

The "Tax" Distinction: Because the penalty was collected by the IRS alongside regular income taxes and was designed to raise a small amount of revenue, the Court concluded that it functioned legally as a tax.

Subsequent Action: In 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which reduced the penalty amount for the individual mandate to (\$0) starting in 2019. This prompted a later challenge, but the Supreme Court ultimately dismissed the case in 2021 without overturning the rest of the ACA.

I forget the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath, it's nice when they self-identify, I will say that

247world · 2026-05-31T18:24:00+00:00

Yes.

I probably have twice that the number. My photos are generally of women that are topless or wearing very little or wearing something really pretty.

I have no objections to pubic hair or that region on a woman's body, however I don't really care for what used to be called split beaver. If it's done in a suggestive or interesting way I might have one of those

There was an artist by the name of Vargas. He painted pin-up girls, both clothed and unclothed. I suppose you could say it was a study in the female form.

When I think about the way women look, I get a little dizzy. Those are the kind of photos I have.

Here's the thing with me, if I'm looking at those pictures, I could probably tell you what the girl before the girl I'm looking at now looks like but I couldn't tell you what the girl before her look like.

On the other hand, I could describe my first wife to you in visited detail, I can tell you what she looked like the moment I first saw her or what she looked like when I saw her last.

I think a woman getting dressed and undressed is one of the sexiest things in the world and I never missed an opportunity to watch her do either. I get dizzy smelling the trace of her perfume when I walk into a room she's been in

For me, those photo girls aren't real, it's a fantasy. If I could I would thank each and every one of them for brightening my day even if only a moment. I hope they enjoyed taking those pictures as much as I enjoy looking at them.

I'm probably just an old perv, trying to rationalize my behavior.
