Hmmm, there are two choices before you as you've stated them.

1) Gently keep them from building a nest in an undesirable area.

2) Eat their children.

I think I'd go with #1. I got a dozen large eggs for under $2 the other night.

I think it is supposed to be any off topic comment before 100. Exactly what it says on the box.

The idea being that the cob or guest cob in question spent a lot of time preparing a post for the blog and having someone discussing how they really loved Popeye's Chicken sandwich is just rude and dismissive. Unless the guest cob did a post on chicken sandwiches and how McDonald's Chicken Biscuit breakfast sandwich was a delicious surprise.

161 World Cup tickets are expensive for the top tier teams and US team. But even there, it’s not as crazy as the media is making it out. As shocking as it is, the media - get this - lies.

Yeah best seats in the house are several thousands. But you can get upper deck seats for under $1000. For lower tier teams seats are in the $200-300 range. There are many college football games every year where tickets are more than that. Cheapest Super Bowl tickets are $5k every year. The big games command big prices for tickets. People were spending $1k for nosebleed seats to see Taylor Swift and the same media that is complaining about World Cup prices was celebrating that. Gee I wonder why that is? Could it be because TayTay is a Democrat sweetheart but Trump is president during the WC? Nah that’s crazy talk.

I’m not sure exactly what people expect. The WC is the biggest sports event in the world. It’s a once in a lifetime event for a lot of people. It’s not going to be cheap to attend.

He played military officers, successful business men, ministers of the cloth and ministers of government.

Indeed. In general, you would expect the price to be higher in year 20xx + 10 than 20xx, so as some point between 20xx and 20xx + 10 you're likely to have a "most expensive x ever" year.

It does not surprise me that under Biden or under Trump we have the "most expensive" version of some event ever.

Because inflation doesn't stay at 0.0% and prices, over time, increase. The main places where we've seen prices fall is in tech where they learn to do some newer thing drastically better. And tech prices, having been put in the market basket, restrain the calculated rate of inflation.

Which generally give people the wrong idea of how fast the price of standard commodities are rising.

IMDb: "It was in 1930, with the advent of sound, that Smith found his position in the movies and that position would be distinguished roles. He played military officers, successful business men, ministers of the cloth and ministers of government. With the bushy eyebrows and stoic face, he played men who know about honour, tradition, and the correct path."

Trump is a fucking miracle. We would have been in a thousand times worse position had he not appeared. The sheer number of people ignorant of what the Left and much of the purported Right is.

This is Enron's Paul Krugman, one-time possessor of a computer with child porn. Now I'll not discount that his wild fantasies are not shared by other's in his ranks.

But I have been pointing out for years that certain segments of the millennial left are feral and we'll need common sense millennial control, akin to what Krugman let slip.

We are a broken society at this point. The leftists made sure of it by indoctrinating and alienating an entire generation.

There will be no national divorce. There is only Bosnia. Prepare accordingly.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s (and HIV/AIDS was a death sentence) -- I lived and worked in the Bay Area with a lot of gay men.

They were genuinely decent folks who were (stunningly) monogamous. I only knew one wonderful young man -- brutally handsome -- who died (his nickname was "Glitz" because he looked like a Hollywood movie star).

Damn, that was like a lifetime ago ...

Not one person who supports any of the vile varieties of marxism thinks they will have less--every single one thinks they will be the ones getting more.

I mean, you could show them the concrete block that were the best, the very best, communism was able to offer for housing--that that is where they will live, if they are lucky.

And every single one would call that a lie and insist they will have a nice villa on the lake and a townhouse in the city.

There is no point arguing with greed and envy.

2011 NFIB v. Sebelius.

We were one SCOTUS vote, where all the theory of what our Constitution entails comes from, one vote away from an official finding that Congress power to regulate commerce included mandating economic activity.

RGB's argument to Roberts was along the lines of "C'mon", because Roberts had already consented with keeping ACA in place.

Putting our pocket books at the government's discretion. Moving from prohibition by law to compulsion from law, outside of a military draft to confront an actual existential emergency (at least in theory).

That one vote would have ended the tradition of our entire theory of government.

362 Old Man and a Child, 1722 or 1723
Gaspare Traversi

(Also titled Old beggar with Urchin)

Greatly skilled but very dark and dramatic.

"...his lucid, at times merciless, portrayals of local people satirize the social aspirations of the emergent bourgeois class in southern Italy."

After 1752, he spent a great deal of time in Rome and painted scenes in which he interpreted biblical and apocryphal subjects from everyday life for both the Church (i.e., Absalom murders Amnon, Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Rome) and private church-related clients.

I've enjoyed scanning through his works online but a lot of them, such as featured above, are too unsettling and I would pass hanging.

Thanks
