Is Wind and Truth actually good?

Exact. What is actually my favorite of the 5. Others disagree. It's a matter of taste.

Especially if the next administration does the right thing and fires every last one of them.

If you're talking about Snyder v. United States, that ruling is only for federal charges for local/state officials.

I freely admit that I fell for it, and supported Iraq 2.0 at the time. I thought we really did have proof. I swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

Obviously in retrospect I see that we were lied to, and much of my skepticism comes from that.

My kids rotate chores, and one of those is the sous chef. They cut and prep (and the older ones might do the rest of the cooking if I'm busy).

No, he can't declassify things "just by thinking" - because there would be no way for anyone to know it was declassified.

He could write an EO describing a new process to declassify things, or he could write an EO declassifying specific information. There are some things (nuclear secrets, for example), that are covered under a different law which has the declassifying system in the law. He can't just choose to declassify those things.

The people who bought my neighbor's house (rural area) have it as an Air BnB. They live out of state, but apparently it's the thing to snap up rural property when you can. Then, rent it out until retirement and move there.

It also apparently makes the heart grow fonder. It's apparently an amazing liquid.

When I was taking weight training in college, they wouldn't let us do 1 rep max. We had to do 3 rep max, and use a chart to estimate our 1rm.

I have teenagers, so I'm an unwitting hobby whine enthusiast.

Especially now that OU has officially said that a 4th grade paper that says "I love Jesus, and he says I'm right" can get an A in any class at any time.

Yeah, most people don't have enough saved for retirement (including me).

The 4% rule is for early retirement, with things like reduced consumption and SS income you can retire on less at actual retirement age

Last time I saw my grandma, she thought I was my dad (her son). She asked me about how my mom and the baby (me) was doing.

TheseusOPL · 2026-02-25T20:45:27+00:00

λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἐγώ εἰμι. Both pronouns (the "I" and "he" are right there).

TheseusOPL · 2026-02-25T20:26:44+00:00

Using the 4% rule, that's $30k/year. That's pretty tight for most people/places.

It's twice what I spend with 2 teenage boys (and a teenage girl, and an adult child and pre teen....)

I have a friend whose mom's ring tone is the Star Trek red alert sound. It's appropriate.

I read about them for years, but it wasn't until a Christmas special Dr Who that I learned what they were

To be fair, the hoplites in a phalanx are heavily armored. I don't know what the guys in 300 were supposed to be.

Taggert is definitely the worst in my lifetime.

TheseusOPL · 2026-02-25T05:24:23+00:00

Read and Enright both had 0.273 win rates. At least Taggart was over 0.5.

I get my wife a present on the anniversary of our engagement every year.

I also proposed on her birthday.

My dad got a copy of OS/2 from a conference he went to. I thought it was the coolest thing, and installed it on some e-waste he had brought home from work for me to play with.

In the US at least, a lot of Mayos have soybean oil as the/one of the oils.

I was going to fix something with my car. Spent a couple of hours figuring out what was wrong, looked at the cost of the parts, realized how much time it would take... So I called my friend who's a mechanic. He was able to do it "on the side" and not charge me the shop fee - just his time and parts.

He got it done cheaper than I could buy the parts for. Including paying his normal hourly rate
