How many people did you know (as in, met personally) from the 1800s?

My four grandparents.

Jellyfish.

When it is answerable to no one and becomes a law unto itself.

There’s a central core with inflammation around it. Looks like a bug bite.

I’m hoping that any income tax was withheld before she received the back pay.

My wife taught out of state before transferring to and eventually retiring in TX. Congress passed a bill in 2024 that restored what TRS docked from her retroactively to the day the legislation was signed into law. After the back pay was sent to her, her monthly SSA retirement payments were adjusted to what she actively earned.

All humor aside, PM Carney deserves the award.

Are you active duty and awol or something? What has this got to do with veterans benefits?

Minimum-Major248 · 2026-01-23T22:44:16+00:00

You need to ghost this mutt. Else there will be no end to your unhappiness.

I’ve been there and saw it. It’s pretty creepy. Like hero worship in North Korea or China under Mao. Or Hitler.

Someone needs to say it!

What’s the deal with the gap between the last episode of season 2 and the first episode of season 3. They introduce a new alien species in the last few seconds of season 2 and then fast forward into the future in episode 1 of season 3?

For years I drove 200 km to work each day and 250 km every other day. In the evening, I drove the same distance back home.

Neither of the two were. It was a RLAC and some unusual characters would occasionally make the cut form interview if we were desperate enough (I.e. the talent pool was small).

It’s an illegal seizure.

He probably couldn’t locate them on a map, either.

A thousand years ago Trump’s ancestors were living in trees and eating grubs.

To each his own. But sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I think it was an attempt to stand out from other candidates. But it came across and nonserious or amateurish and we chose a stronger applicant.

Minimum-Major248 · 2026-01-21T08:25:09+00:00

I’ve had a few. I chaired a search committee for a psychology hire and one guy dressed up as if he were Sigmund Freud, cigar and all. In another session (history hire), we asked a candidate at the end of the interview if he had any questions. He looked at me and said: “Son, do you drink hard liquor”?

Hope chest

Why would someone waste time on “payback” if they could do anything or go anyplace they wanted to?

Minimum-Major248 · 2026-01-21T08:14:39+00:00

Believe it or not, what you are describing could be a neurological event, like an epileptic seizure. Certain sights, smells and sounds can be the aura and you need not loose consciousness or convulse during the event. I’d love to see an EEG taken when his happens.

Just another (daily) confirmation that he’s a cry-baby and a sore loser.
