My musical journey has been rock in the mid 80s, then metal (Metallica), progressive metal (Tool, Dream Theater), instrumental prog (LTE), instrumental djent, pop djent (Vola), and now I'm rounding back home to more jazz/fusion instrumental bands like SP. I'll probably get into Coltrane/Miles Davis 50-60s cool jazz in another 10 years, then finish with old school original jazz when I die.

The distinction daz is trying to make is asinine, and makes me think might have just appeared on the earth instead of the normal gestation & birthing process. Daz took it one step further from Jesus - not just a immaculate conception/virgin birth situation, but maybe the first immaculate appearance of a human.

So you weren't a fetus at one point?

Nothing gets humans fired up more than talking about killing babies. Good thing you weren't killed preemptively, so you now have the ability to to B word one way or the other on the debate.

Speaking of jazz, I like this one:

Will the rubes out there still call to pack the court?

I was wondering about the absence.

On inspections: To inspect cars in NYS, a shop has to spend a one time $20k cost on the computer hardware needed. But who are we kidding, the state will change and require new hardware probably every 5-7 years. Additionally, I believe they have to pay yearly for a subscription to allow them the live connection to the NYS servers, although the mechanic I knew didn't go into those details. Imagine all the NYS inspections shops smattered around the state, and quickly you realize the inertia already in motion. Ain't no way the state nor mechanics will give up this racket. Too much time/money invested to go back. Just be lucky it is still $21, pleeb.

So as @SectionC3 would say: Hoax.

We don't, we just add it to the federal debt.

Doing it today, but it is costly and has no commercial value. Only done when gov't subsidies are in play. I do like the idea of putting in liquid form at the bottom of the ocean, but holy crap that'll be expensive. Probably have to start by taking away everyone's social security so we can fund that effort.

What do you suggest?

Wade's favorite - John Holecek 51

Only way to fix it is to go to war - Ice Cream Joe's handlers know this.

I hope so

I thought it was the old trope - everything happens for a reason. But I agree with you, that reason sucks a fat one. We lost an 7 year old niece to an aggressive form of brain cancer; that makes you question a God that pulls that crap.

In 2024 it looks silly to you, but know that was the common farming family life until the 1940s. They'd have 5-7 kids cause 1-2 of them would get taken out from some reason. That Job story was like looking in a mirror to them. And <gasp> some rural families still go about life that way.

Yeah, probably change that one out for "don't ogle the Spanish teachers pechos".

But in the end that IS what lefties want to be - a pet for the State to decide what they do or don't need. Individualism is strictly prohibited.

If you disagree - why have any laws then? Or are you just whining?

What if they just called them rules for schools? Rebrand them a scooch?

That would be the Libertarian party, but then as we all know we wouldn't have any highways - so that wouldn't work. Ds and Rs are basically the same; the differences are minor.

I would call it a slight decoupling from rampant globalization for resiliency reasons. If countries get butthurt about it - sorry eh?

There was a note in the body that non-citizens can't vote - so was Coolidge a MAGA too?

And what kept you alive? Fossil fuels.
