Hey, come on try a little nothing is forever there's got to be something better than in the middle but me and Cinderella we put it all together we can drive it home with one headlight.

I find the Lance Armstrong nod fascinating. Isn't he a disgrace? Yeah, the sport isn't the same. Honestly... No offense, but isn't the sport cleaner? Less cheaters. From 2012: https://newrepublic.com/article/109212/cyclings-secret-it-may-be-the-worlds-cleanest-sport "...But the head-shakers and finger-waggers have it exactly wrong. Yes, the Armstrong scandal revealed systemic cheating in a sport that was corrupt to its core—a decade ago. In the landscape of professional sport right now, cycling may actually be one of the cleaner sports around. No, really; stop laughing. And notice that I didn’t say “clean,” just cleaner. Because while cycling has a long, colorful history of cheating, it also pioneered the modern practice of drug-testing athletes. After the British cyclist Tom Simpson died of amphetamine-fueled heatstroke on the slopes of Mont Ventoux in 1967, riders have been subject to organized testing that been getting better and better, even during Armstrong’s reign of fraud between 1999 and 2005. ..."

Why do we even have age limits? Where does that come from? 😏

When it comes to the other loans... The WhiteHouse is attempting an end around: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/06/30/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-new-actions-to-provide-debt-relief-and-support-for-student-loan-borrowers/

Modern dryers will shut down and warn ⚠️ you. Replaced a 20 year old dryer in 2016, LG, it will do that if there's blockage. Anyway... Real fire 🔥 risk!

Flush your hot water tank every 6 months. Really... https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/plumbing/how-to-flush-water-heater/ @BringBackFergy @Mike in Horseheads @Gugny @SWATeam

Ok... I came here thinking that they were checking the ages of Veterans. I was wondering why they didn't have all their patient info. 😕

Maybe they were gonna return them to the store anyway? From the gr8 website: "AisleOfShame" we have this... https://www.aisleofshame.com/target-underwear-return-policy/ Now... Years ago, they probably never even saw the "skid marks!" 😆... Now THAT'S nasty!

I detect sarcasm. 😆

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/57902/whats-difference-between-lake-and-pond "Guess what? There is no official scientific difference between a lake and a pond. In fact, the only real criteria to categorize something as a lake or pond is that the area in question must be a standing or slow-moving body of water surrounded by land." It's actually a small, very small lake since it's on the Cayuga Crick... 😏... Definitely an inlet and outlet. Have at it. A pond is standing water. 😆

My take is... IMO... Environment getting cleaner, they are having a harder time surviving and become habitualized towards human. There used to be open dumps, etc... Where they could go, now everything is sealed and transferred far away. Sure they are gonna root through the trash or greasy grill on a deck. Not against a clean environment... But how about going back to the "Fly Paper" approach... You make your gabage locally, you dump it locally.

The young teachers are on their phones now... How are they supposed to keep track of the kids cheating?😆

People can always hide behind "safety." Schools need find a way to incorporate safety and eliminate the phone.

Why don't they just put emergency phones throughout the place. Like pick it up and it dials 911. Or issue a single purpose emergency phone to each student at the start of day. Leave in each desk. Corrected. 😉😜😘

8 days ago in Arizona... Strange because it was a black bear... Usually more scared of humans!

You'd think... They'd have a REMOTE "BlackBox" and sound bouy in place nearby to record every detail up until the last 40th millisecond the implosion went off. Would help the investigation.

Yeah... But I got some cheap expired carbon fiber. What could possibly go wrong after 12 dives! 😆 🤣 😆... He's treating it like one day old expired milk! /smdh... Where was this clown from?

Read this! Wow! https://komonews.com/news/loc...ron-ocean-surface-expedition "...Over cigars one night, (Stockton) Rush told Weissmann that he got the carbon fiber for the Titan’s hull at a big discount because it was past its shelf-life for use in airplanes, Weissmann said. But Rush reassured him it was safe. ..." WTF! Any idiot knows that spheres are better than tubes at deep dives. And if you are gonna make it a tube... Better to go stronger than carbon fiber. They have been doing this since the 1960s. I think the engineering is pretty well set... Even more so now!

Of course! I was joking... 😏
