We had a small pond in our backyard a few years ago. Some tadpoles made it to adulthood :)

My point was that the UN had been around a long time before Ted Turner had anything to do with it.

Wouldn't it be soooooooo sweet if, for whatever reason, all these pardons and commutations are declared null and void after Trump gets into office!

I once fell asleep on the #4 subway train that runs north from City Hall to Grand Central, and then farther north. I normally would get off to catch a MetroNorth train at Grand Central, but that day, I had to get off at 59th st and take the subway back to GC. Fortunately, this is one of the most crowded trains, so not much is likely to happen to a sleeping passenger, but I could see how dangerous it would be to sleep on a train heading far out in Brooklyn!

Ted Turner was born in 1938. Pretty amazing that he was able to start the UN at the age of 7!

I heard this morning that a Texas representative was found after being considered missing for 6 months; she was found in a memory care facility.

I couldn't take listening past the first two minutes. Was it mentioned that the negative side-effects FAR outweigh the possibility that there was one less death out of 22,000 people compared to the placebo group?

The volume of methane produced by cattle is so small it is laughable that they would even try to make it out to be a significant factor in the virtually non-existent "man-made global warming".

I still think the pager plan was pretty funny. Too bad we can't do that for the Mexican cartels.

And he was head of CIA, so that pretty much indicates what an evil organization CIA is.

My father was in the masons. He was just one of the low level people who I don't think know what the higher levels are doing, but he did have a copy of the Mason Bible "Morals and Dogma", which I looked through. In it they equate Jesus, Moses, and Mohammed. That alone should make anyone who even thinks they MIGHT be a Christian from being associated with that organization.

Decent women are. It's the bimbos and other women who only care about their appearance and what they can buy who seek wealthy husbands.

What is this guy's name?

I didn't pay my wife to reproduce with me, so I can't relate to what you are trying to say.

Ok, thank you. I was thinking in terms of bonds issued to pay for projects, not bonds that I guess are essentially insurance on the employees.

Do you really think the likes of AOC deserve a quarter of a million dollars a year? They do nothing but have meetings with lobbyists and sit in a chamber to vote on things. It takes zero training, and minimal knowledge, to do what they do. They shouldn't be paid more than $100,000 per year.

Bonds aren't required for a state government to run. Bonds may be used to operate while in debt, but they are not required. I bet states like FL operate fine without bonds.

Same reason there are no real photos of the Loch Ness monster, big foots (or is that big feet :) ), ghosts, yetis, etc.

Most of what is labeled "Khazaria" is to the east of Ukraine (but the shape is similar :) )

That is pretty amazing, because it seems like one of the leftist judges could fairly easily judge that "it violates basic human rights to force someone to leave a place where they live", since they make even more ridiculous arguments for other cases.

More likely, summon demons. :)

I tried it out for one of my invention ideas. It gave a great technical discussion of the idea, but couldn't draw it properly despite numerous tries. Same thing happened when trying to get it to add Trump to Mt. Rushmore :)

I got timed out so couldn't continue to try.

I tried to get grok to draw Trump's head on Mt. Rushmore. Despite multiple tries, with variations in the questions, and even having it first make a statue in granite of Trump's head, grok would not draw what I requested (the closest it came was Mt. Rushmore with a photo of Trump in front :) )

Ok! I might have to try it out! Does it let you input invention ideas and have it do a visual of what it might look like?
