How about some stuff you might not know? 45 Odd Facts About U.S. Presidents
2. Herbert Hoover invented his own sport. Watch out, Calvin Coolidge Ball. To stay fit, Herbert Hoover and his personal physician invented their own sport: Hooverball. The game was a sort of cross between volleyball, tennis, and dodgeball, except much more terrifying, because it was played with a medicine ball. *** 12. Richard Nixon proposed to his wife the day they met. Pro tip: that is not a good idea. Then he obsessively pursued Pat for two years until she finally said yes. *** 14. Richard Nixon's favorite snack was cottage cheese with ketchup. *** 28. Calvin Coolidge really didn't like talking. His nickname, Silent Cal, was well-earned. Upon hearing the news of the notoriously quiet Calvin Coolidge's death, Dorothy Parker reportedly asked, "How can they tell?"Check out the whole thing. It's a fun read!
Remembering the humorous side of Ronaldus Maximus.
President Trump should strongly consider this.
Another interesting read about our presidents. 46 Surprising Facts About 46 Presidents
(Originally from Feb 15, 2022, Updated on Jan 21, 2025)
Here's an informative video from 4 years ago about the band featured in the Mystery Click behind the top photo.
"This map of the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was published in 1968 and is based on ocean depth surveys compiled by Bruce Heezen and Marie Tharp.
The map was painted by Heinrich Berann for the magazine National Geographic."
A pair of Florida residents are set to enjoy a show by former Tonight Show host Jay Leno as a deserved reward for snatching their neighbor from the jaws of death. Or, perhaps it should read the jaws leased by death, because at the time they belonged to a massive American alligator that ran down Rick Fingeret walking his dogs down their Naples street. Occurring after dark on Friday, April 19th of last year, Fingeret was passing a pond in which he had seen alligators lounging every so often, when he felt a tug on the leashes of his two dogs. They might have been Labradors, and fit for all kinds of emergency situations when trained, but this was an 11-foot-long gator, sprinting with its mouth open towards them at probably close to 10 miles per hour. *** “I tripped in all the frenzy,” Fingeret remembered. “And the minute I fell—(he claps his hands together to simulate the gator’s jaws closing)… He got me.” Apparently, the pair lay on the grass for several moments, the gator unsure of what to do next. “Every so often, you’d feel a lurch,” Fingeret says. “A tug. He wanted to move me, but he couldn’t. I was bigger than he had anticipated. I wanted it to know that I was there. I had a lot of fight left in me. And I was very conscious of not passing out. Because the minute that would happen, I would be done.” He started hammering at the beast’s scaley armor, poking its eyes, and trying to pry open its jaws without any luck. Without a shadow of a doubt, the strangest part of the story came in the next part which Fingeret narrated—his dogs lay at his side, silent, and probably frozen in terror. Somehow he managed to keep a hold of their leashes through the entire ordeal. Next, neighbors Walt Rudder and Paula Keegan were driving by when they saw and heard Fingeret on his side, next to his dogs, screaming for help. They thought he had fallen and broken something, but after the dogs moved a little, they saw that unmistakable shape unchanged for 300 million years. Mr. Rudder ran over and described a “supernatural” level of calm from which Fingeret instructed his neighbor to gather up his dogs and put them in the car—and then run the lizard over with it.
(Well, at least the words "Hail" and "Chief" are represented)

There isn't a stream, brook, creek, or rill emptying into the river, either. I don't think they've got room for all the synonyms and foreign words for the things that are there.
And it's hard to add underwater things to a picture like that, but there isn't a reef.

Yes! I have always felt that the case of the old man is where the point they’re making really shines through. It’s not funny at all, it’s sad, and Phil had to learn that he can (and should be) kind, and ease the journey and suffering of others - but although he can comfort and help others, he has no power to alter someone’s else’s destiny, once it has been set. Demonstrating that his speculation that he is some kind of “god” is false and foolish; he only has the power to truly change his own destiny, not anyone else’s.

It's always something. Shut down the Soviet Union, along come the Islamofascists. Shut them down, along come the Chicoms.
If the American Nat Sec state had wanted to it could have defeated the Islamists in a few years.
It didn't want to. Because they were too useful too kill off. Remember how mad this group was when Trump bombed the shit out of ISIS in Syria?
And China's a different sort of threat, I admit they are more subtle and require more care. But the Nat Sec state became enamored of them and had no interest in opposing them.

He said AOC is ther dumbest person ever to be elected to congress. In doing so he's erasing the great achievements of African Americans like Jasmin Crockett, who could easily be the dumbest rachet ass hoe not only in congress, but dares i say America. Then it's also a slight to Mazi Hirono, a woman who defied the odds by being both Japanese, and a complete f'ing moron.
I think Tom needs to apologize and make it be known that there are absolute retards of all races in congress who rival AOC's level of window lickery.

See Pixy's thread from this morning (well, yesterday morning).
Some idiot claimed these "150 year olds" were due to COBOL using an epoch of 1875. That is, an invalid or unknown date would default to zero, which would be 1875 and thus 150 years ago. This was pure bullshit, turns out, but I'm still seeing idiots repeat this.
And that got me to trying to remember COBOL data storage and the PIC clauses.
Did COBOL just use ASCII or BCD for numeric types, I forget?
And then, the "P" specified I never groked, but I forget what was confusing about it. :-)

Perfect.
1 - Man likes crazy girl's looks, donates his sperm because it's all about feeling good right now.
2 - Girl accepts donation because this is really all about her.
3 - Man resumes King-of-Siam lifestyle.
4 - Girl gives birth, gets resentful because of man's behavior.
Great way to build a civilization, both of you. I'm sure the kid will have the best possible upbringing.

Exactly! We don't know the specifics, just the sensationalist headlines - 150 y.o. still getting social security!! REEEE!
It may be they are still active in the system but not getting checks issued...perhaps similar to the lady* who was still getting a Civil War pension up to her death in 2019 - perhaps the person the pension is based on is kept active in the system.
*She was born in the 1920's fathered by an 80-something Civil War vet, presumably, and was disabled, therefore entitled to a lifetime benefit.

Look at Trump. Maybe he's a genius, maybe not. But he's not exactly the one man-one woman for life marriage model. Doesn't make him a bad president. And "a pretty crappy human being" might get us on the road to Mars and beyond.

Truth is I end up tossing the blanket off as soon as I get warm. I wonder if they have a timer. That would be cool if they did. My bedroom is also 3 outside walls. Its 2x6 construction, which is nice, but it still don't stop a cold bed. Flannel sheets are da bomb in winter, but still, it might be nice to toast up the bed a bit.

Genius has no formal definition, but I would assume someone who has made a significant contribution to math, science or technology. Musk has brought the cost of launching stuff into orbit down significantly, but again, he’s mostly just hired people to do the technical work. He’s not a rocket scientist himself.
I think it’s impressive that he’s brought launch costs down. He did a lot to demonstrate how moribund NASA had become.
The rest of his companies are just grifts, usually on taxpayers. He didn’t invent the electric car, nor did he found Tesla. He did get the Obama and Biden admins to give him huge subsidies, though. I guess corruption could be a kind of genius.
He bought Twitter, which has lost him a lot of money, but has given him access to the levers of power. If he uses that access to destroy the Federal Leviathan, I’m happy. Hell, we can make his birthday a Federal holiday.

However, actor James Wood's IQ is 180. That's over 5 sigma.

While Dolph Lungren's acting career may not be genius, according to Wiki, "Dolph decided to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue an Engineering degree. After having completed his military service, he enrolled at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. . . . [He] "holds a master's degree in chemical engineering. Was offered a Fulbright scholarship to study at MIT." Lungren's said to have an I.Q. of 160, which is considered genius level. All I know is a masters in ChemE is not a basket-weaving degree.

I'll tell you one thing about Elon Musk I now realize after he went all in (no half-measures, he said) for Trump, and now DOGE.
The man doesn't care about money or power. As and end. He only cares about them as means to what he wants to do.

After hearing her speak in her attempt to be appointed to Clinton's senate seat when she became SoS, I can only say Caroline's intellect is 'short bus' special.

I worked with another super smart engineer for a couple of weeks on an idea and we put together a prototype that had all the other engineers agreeing that this was the way to go.
We presented it to Dr. Bob and he took one look at the math etc and said "Nope". The lectured us for half an hour about why it wouldn't work. Not only things we didn't know about but things we hadn't even imagined that could be true.
There were some really bright guys sitting there with their mouths agape. He just completely blew everyone's mind. It took me a while to get over that. Dr Bob was on a completely different level.
He's the nicest guy but you don't want to cross him.
Elon seems to be incredibly bright and equally motivated which is rare.

You’re the one who asserted his degrees were evidence of genius. If that’s the case, then surely everyone with the same degrees is a genius. Of course, that’s not the case, which was my point.
>> Or the one asking me to name the tech companies implying there were none.
I was asking you to name them, because you were asserted they were again, evidence of genius. Zip2 is a company nobody remembers which vanished without a trace.
X.com was moderately successful, but Musk was ousted. After it merged with PayPal, Musk came back. He insisted on shackling the company to Windows, got ousted a second time, and Peter Thiel came in and actually made the company successful.
Now Thiel is a legit genius.
>> But saying ‘nope’
I said nope to your claim he created a car company. He didn’t, as anyone with a cursory knowledge of Tesla’s history would know.
