Carly and "competence" don't belong in the same sentence. Like I said, she damn near took Hewlett Packard to the mat when she was CEO. On the day that her firing was announced, the company gained $3 billion in market cap. She's not run a public company since they bounced her out the door...

Associated Press BERLIN — A German company working on a potential vaccine for the new coronavirus denied reports Monday that the U.S. government was angling to acquire it, while German officials sought to ease tensions fueled by the story by insisting the firm would stay in the country. On...

Overly harsh? Probably. True? Yep. Rumor is, Carly offered Democrat/Republican/Democrat Meg Whitman $10 million to enter the race, just so she wouldn't be the ugliest woman on the campaign trail. Meg came back and said nah, she had more money than Carly anyway... and she hadn't almost...

One problem with modern liberals (apart from the limousine variety) is that many of them have never run a business, large or small. They don't know what it means to have to meet payroll or pay expenses, even when business is down. And the ones who are entrenched in government don't know what it...

No offense intended, but I don't see these oft sited examples of corruption and criminal activity as having valid links to the economic system, capitalism. Corruption and criminal activity are just as, if not more, prevalent in socialist economies as in capitalist economies. The only difference...

The way it's sounding, Monaco may be the first race of the season. Monaco, a glamorous highlight of the motor racing calendar, is round seven on May 24. Formula 1 plans to start its coronavirus-ravaged season in May after cancelling this weekend’s opener in Australia and postponing the next...

I say we bring them to the U.S. and turn them loose in D.C. - put 'em in charge of everything! No more Dems. No more Repubs. Huh?! The hysteria over this is just three shades of retarded. Calm down, folks. The people who are panicking are the ones making things even worse.

A job? A job?! Bernie get a job? Whaaaat?! And have to live like this?

The FIA and F1 just confirmed that the season opener in Australia has been cancelled. Crap! Crap! Crap!

Woodrow Wilson was a full blown racist. While I agree with Zeeblofowl that people back then were made of (much!) stronger stock than people today, it's also true that they had less access to timely information than we do. So they just believed what they were told. And ol' Woodrow wasn't exactly...

Will the Democrat Convention become a brokered convention? If neither Bernie nor Biden can get to the magic number, how are they going to settle it? Looks like Biden will have the numbers, but Bernie has the passionate supporters. Will the kids supporting the Bern just stay home if he's not...

Justin Bieber. Oh wait, you mean their careers or the actual people???

Well, I gotta admit, that does kinda soften the blow.

Today? Well, I haven't talked to anybody (yet) today... which I'm pretty happy about. :) Check back with me on Monday.

I like to watch shows and movies that are able to (just) tell a good story... that aren't based on any sort of PC formula or that feel the need to check the necessary PC boxes. Just tell me a good story. Just have a good script, with good acting. Preach to me or tell me what and how I'm expected...

How much did Mike Bloomberg spend per delegate? About $18 million - CBS News At the time of his departure from the race, after spending $570 million on ads (:eek:), Bloomberg had amassed just 31 pledged delegates, meaning he had spent about $18 million per delegate earned. What pisses me off...

Lack of working capital is the #1 reason for the failure of most small businesses. And yes, that may stem from a lack of knowledge or understanding about how much capital is necessary to maintain a business over time. But even a successful business may fail if it doesn't have enough capital to...

"It's not how many times you get knocked down... it's how many times you get back up.” Harland David Sanders: Perhaps better known as Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame, Sanders had a hard time selling his chicken at first. In fact, his famous secret chicken recipe was rejected...

Yeah, that was a cool surprise. OK, I'm back to lovin' this show again. :D For anyone else who has trouble remembering certain characters from Breaking Bad and what eventually happened to them, here's a handy link that I've been using: Breaking Bad wiki

:nanner: Good match. :)

It looks like Australia is still on. But some of the other early races could be in danger. :( Formula 1 could not hold a World Championship race in a country that denies access to any team due to coronavirus restrictions, motorsport managing director Ross Brawn confirmed on Tuesday.

Sorry, but there are lots of people in the U.S. who are opposed to broad based socialism who aren't "conservatives". This odd form of bifurcation that some of you folks have bought into is really curious to me. But if it makes ya happy, carry on. :thumbsup:

In addition to comparing (Jewish) Bernie Sanders' Nevada win to Nazis’ takeover of France, seems that the "woke" Mr. Matthews has made a few remarks over the years that suggest that he's only woke on the outside, not so much so on the inside. So what has the #MeToo brigade assembled on our...

His employer, railway construction company TSO, argued that because his sexual activity was not part of work and because he died in a different hotel in which he was staying for work, his death wasn't the company's responsibility. The Paris court argued that it doesn't matter whether an...

Yeah, I've watched both of those several times. Liked them both very much. I'll give 1917 a try. I'm drawn to WWI films because my great uncle fought in it. And I have a hard time understanding how a human being's mind could withstand dealing with that much pain, suffering and death on such a...

Damn, you did have a bad day! Her voice and face are enough to make me want to watch the Tony Awards.

Ehhh, not so much right now, but I have faith that he can become a good guy. Just have to give it time. Bad boy dictators just go through the Che Guevara PR Makeover School and voila, scrubbed clean. :yesyes: Seattle, Washington statue of Vladimir Lenin Hell, we even had a statue of Josef...

:thumbsup: Yeah, I have her on my list too. I like that thick hottie. Karen Fisher is another one. She finally did some anal dildo/vibe action with Claudia Marie and Samantha 38G, but hasn't done the real deal yet. I think that the longest lasting, biggest (literally) hold-out continues to be...

Well, at least in the U.S., K-12 education is not just a right, it's mandatory. Home schooling is an option, but a kid has to receive some sort of structured education here. I'm not saying whether that's right or wrong... just the way it is. But once you've completed high school, that's another...

On a financial board that I sometimes post on, some of the people were trying to call a bottom in the DJIA/S&P 500. Several jumped in with both feet early last week, talking about "stocks on sale" and what not. And they got smacked in the face again. Most people with 401Ks don't have access to...

I'd really like to see 1917. I hardly ever buy movies on DVD, but I'm thinking this might be a good one to have. The last one I bought was Risen... a truly fantastic movie. I'm hoping that 1917 will be at least as good. Has anybody seen it?

Is that the one that the chick from Star Trek Next Generation was in? I think her name is Marina Sirtis. She was in some kind of softcore flick years ago - can't remember the title for sure. I think she played the part of a naked girl getting whipped.

Yeah, I'd go with option #3. I've just never been into drama or complications. Go to Vegas and have fun. When I used to go, I never found that there was a shortage of girls there looking for a good time. And because of this... I'd tell her to lose my phone number.

Great find, Supa. I saw a similar illustration on YouTube, but yours is MUCH more comprehensive. In addition to lap time gains and cornering ability, what really interests me about the DAS is tire wear. Reducing lap times by say .2-.3 seconds a lap is one thing. But what if the Mercs can go an...

How does it work if you're born on February 29th? I mean, when do you celebrate your birthday in non-leap years???

I don't watch any of them with any regularity. Since most of them these days are devoted to just "playing to the base" (or more aptly, the flock/herd), with whatever skewed, hyperbolic propaganda that keeps the bifurcated sheeple fat, dumb & happy, I don't get much value from watching them. But...

Yeah, but when people talk about "Asian chicks", they usually don't take into account that "Asian" includes dozens of ethnicities and cultures, and often, they're very different from one another. Really, Asian would include Indian girls too - but in porn, they usually get their own category (and...

Wait, you're saying that's the same girl in all those pics??? Are you sure? She went from white bread to honey wheat... how? :dunno:

There's actually an increasing number of apprenticeship programs around the U.S.: There are more than 23,400 registered apprenticeship programs across the nation. 3,229 new apprenticeship programs were established nationwide in FY 2018. A 56% increase since 2013. I don't agree with the "instead...

Rupert... I wonder how he's doing these days? He was another normal, but interesting, character that Dave was so good at featuring. Anybody remember the little monkey in the dress that got pissed off at Dave and was about to break bad on him? That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen...

As long as you're not approaching retirement age, just keep rolling your dollars into it every pay period. Your contributions will dollar cost average and you won't notice this dip (or even bear market) in 30 years. Remember, it's time in the market, not timing the market. Stay steady. :hatsoff...

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Kinda like you, even when Nacho gets on my nerves sometimes, I still find him to be one hell of a character. And it's times like that that I miss your crazy ass too, dude. Hope you're hanging tough in that alternate TV universe, ma dude. :thumbsup: I finally...

Not hardly. You need to recheck your facts. The mortality rate from the "common" flu ranges from .05 to about .1%. Throughout the outbreak, the death rate for 2019-nCoV has been about 2%. Comparing it to the worst pandemic of modern times (the Spanish flu outbreak during and after WWI), it's...

Although, like much of the paddock, I also think that Ferrari was sandbagging during the first week of testing, it seems that Merc has built a murderous car with some (legal?) trick tech. Dual axis steering? :eek: Vettel may compare it to running in flip-flops, but those who are engineering and...
