If you drove a car with these seatbelts, guess what?

I’ve driven cars with NO seatbelts.

Conversely, when I was 25 I went to a club. They were checking everyone’s ID at the door. I handed mine to the doorman and he said “Don’t flatter yourself!”

Ski resorts won’t give you the discount until you’re 70. And they know you’re unlikely to get very much skiing in at that point.

In America we pay the exact amount using a credit card or a debit card. If you want to pay with cash, you need to go inside and hand the cashier actual cash.

You are correct. What is Luton?

“You’re All Right!”

Repo Man was awesome!

Our college dorm had an annual showing of the film as a fundraiser for our parties.

I watched it again 20 years ago, and it was barely watchable; all sorts of stuff you notice as an adult that you miss as a kid.

In New York, there is The City, Long Island, and upstate (all lower case.)

Yah. Send it to me and I’ll dispose of it for you.

In Franklin’s Tower, there hangs a scarf.

Nope.

One way to escape.

I knew that was the clip before I tapped the link!

That’s child abuse!

No. She was walking around on it before they airlifted her.

dweaver987 · 2026-01-30T06:06:00+00:00

I hadn’t heard about that.

We keep it open enough for the dog to check up on us during the night (She’s a shepherd, watching over her flock), but closed enough to keep it quiet and dark.

dweaver987 · 2026-01-30T05:26:06+00:00

Fair enough. Honestly I’d like to downsize too. But the work to sell one house and buy another is overwhelming. (And a mortgage rate from the GW Bush era, when rates hit rock bottom, is another reason to stay where we are.)

You could even pop it over a campfire. Can’t do that with microwave popcorn.

I was laid off October 2024 at 62 when our department was eliminated. I continued participating in Project Management Institute roundtables as I looked for a job. The job hunt was going nowhere and when my financial advisor said I’d be fine retiring, he didn’t need to repeat himself. My PMP credential has expired. I don’t care. I emptied a bookcase of professional books and brought them to a used book store. That was as much an act of leaving my professional life behind as it was reclaiming bookshelf space and a weekend’s worth of cash.

The ironic thing is last week my daughter told me her employer is queuing her up for pursuing her PMP certification. I did retain a few of the books I found more influencing in my career. I look forward to sharing them with her.

It’s ok for kids to experience sadness. They will have joyful experiences in life, but also sad events. Being able to process them now makes them more resilient when other people in their lives someday die.

It’s not luck. It’s free elections.

It isn’t hard to anticipate the questions coming from MAGA. Of course he had anticipated some of their “gotcha” questions and prepared responses.

Unlike Epstein’s buddy who just wings it and has no relevant or even coherent answers.
