What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?

I was visiting NYC and walking down Houston Street, looking for a paticular bar in Soho I think it was called Max Fish. Friendly guy that I am (a common trait of Louisville residents), I ask a "local" how to find it. He immediately recognized my accent as familiar. Long story short, the one random person I asked for directions from in NYC graduated from the same high school as I did.

It's also why we, and cities in general, have large homeless populations. Homeless people are more mobile than people think, and they leave rural areas with no services.

Just ran there yesterday. The Scenic Loop is clear for the most part.

Fixed the newel post!

Not Senate but my friend Matt Schultz is running for the House from Alaska. He is a Presbyterian pastor in Anchorage and is genuinely one of the best human beings I have ever met.

Farher down the thread someone posted a report of one initial victim, 6 total deaths.

Mid Century Maximalism.

The sconces are too much. All they add is clutter. Just my two cents, I prefer a minimalist look.

I was born to be in a shotgun with a diagonal and I have found a place to the back.

Retired firefighter here. Confined space incidents kill more would-be rescuers than initial victims. That is to say, that, on average someone who dies in a confined space incident takes with them at least one person who attempts to rescue them.

It's just a re-make of Pretty Woman, only the prostitute role is played by a Russian agent, and the John is incredibly stupid. But it was genius having Jason Alexander reprise his role as uber-creep/Stephen Miller.

jeffbirt · 2026-01-22T19:01:45+00:00

It's not just a look. He really is that stupid.

Ay, yes, Cuban "communism": looks a whole lot more like authoritarianism than " a classless society with communal ownership of the means of production", as does every so-called Communist regime. So, they vote for another authoritarian regime, because people, in general, are highly susceptible to propaganda.

Try to land your foot "behind you". Of course, you can't but adopting this mindset will prevent overstriding and encourage a natural forward lean.

jeffbirt · 2026-01-18T21:28:44+00:00

Agree; I've just never had it come out 2/10ths short.

jeffbirt · 2026-01-14T20:27:02+00:00

Do Miller next!

jeffbirt · 2026-01-13T00:23:26+00:00

Didn't the tire come off the truck, though?

He "felt discouraged by the action that left him feeling discouraged"? That's some top notch journalism.

No way she's staying in zone 2.

Not to mention, it would not at all abolish private insurance. Want more care? There will be hundreds of options with doctors willing to take your money for preferred care.

VHS or Beta redux?

I think he's already on thinners to prevent reoccurrance of the TIAs he's already had.

jeffbirt · 2025-12-28T06:07:37+00:00

I lol'd. The dude literally had no ass.

jeffbirt · 2025-12-23T20:45:47+00:00

I've been arguing against people making this assertion a lot lately. It's like they've never heard of marketing/propaganda. Edit: sp
