  1. I saw the UK reported 4 - yes, 4 - deaths on August 24th. They have 66 million people. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/
  2. Probably no illegality by pool boy. Reuters does the story, gets all the info, tells Fallwell what they have, Fallwell claims extortion...Yeah, not so much.
  3. But but but this was 5 days ago: https://news.yahoo.com/north-korean-leader-kim-jong-155105095.html
  4. Not sure where you are, but check these guys out (they bought the former Sears scratch & dent stores). I've bought several appliances - stove, washer(2), dryer(2), refrigerator - there over the years here in Richmond. Our washer went out 2 weeks ago but they didn't have one I wanted. I could have waited but...got vetoed. I ended up buying it a Lowes. Advice: research the cubic size you need for both washer & dryer; verify the height & width & depth for fit; high energy washers run for a long time; stay away from front load washers (mold & cleaning issues) https://www.americanfreight.com/
  5. Carpal tunnel causes loss of strength in your hand among other things including pain & numbness in the hand & fingers. It has to be fixed. No idea of recovery time but its fixable.
  6. Here's the link to the full "Wall-A-Thon". The comments - many updated today - are solid ****ing GOLD!
  7. He has no authority to give anything. Well, maybe a limp dick to a hooker but we've seen that movie. My $0.02: The Dems are gonna play hardball on this & not approve any new money unless McConnel bends over & takes the entire deal. It will make White House Occupant & GOP look like **** rolling into the election. **** them twice as hard as Mara.
  8. Former Trump Campaign Manager Steve Bannon Indicted for Fraud in NY <Deleted - I see a new thread has been started for this>
  9. I got my son this one for Christmas last year. It had good reviews & was cheaper than the Roomba. He has an 80 pound Carolina dog that sheds all year. He said the vacuum works well. His house has hardwoods on the 1st floor with an area rug in the living room. It doesn't have any problems moving between the two. https://www.amazon.com/ECOVACS-N79S-Connectivity-Controls-Self-Charging/dp/B077HW9XM7
  10. Wife & SIL in MD visiting friends (and eating jumbo crabs) so I decided it was curry night - spiced up coconut curry lentils with spinach. Paratha compliments of Trader Joe's (looks like the garlic naan is gone here in RVA). Also smoked some Hanover tomatoes & a little onion to freeze for fall/winter tomato soup. I have another batch I'll do tomorrow. Background music Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys & Glad playing on the deck. And the empty cart apparently was not as empty as I thought. Now I need another bowl of curry. Gotta add: The live version of Traffic & Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys is incredible...Not sure I've heard this version. Probably my all time favorite song...Live makes it even better!
  11. Yeah, watch out! We got a real ****ing genius over here...she writing 20th century code. That **** weighs heavy on MY mind!
  12. No one wants anything to do with us. Isolated & alone. We are the Rodney Dangerfield of countries. Sorry, Rodney I meant no disrespect...
  13. I didn't know this about the airline industry & their CARES money - looks like more airline workers are at risk of being laid off over the next 5-6 weeks if things remain the same. Good thing the GOP led Senate decided to take their summer break: CUTS COULD COME AS CARES ACT SUPPORT ENDS As part of the bailout package approved in the CARES Act, airlines were required to maintain a “minimum level of service” through Sept. 30, 2020. For most carriers, this meant operating the majority of their flights and keeping staff on the payroll, even if flyers were scarce. With those conditions coming to an end, airlines are looking for ways to cut their operating costs and maintain an appropriate bottom line. As part of their reductions, American sent WARN notices to over 25,000 employees, putting them on notice that they could be furloughed by the airline. https://www.flyertalk.com/articles/american-eyes-ending-service-to-30-cities.html
  14. And she's so ****ing good at it, too. He's such a dimwitted ****ing idiot that he willingly walks into a fight with his pants around his ankles & his tiny hands grasping a sharpie.
  15. I mentioned it in a thread back in July - my broker's recommendation (large financial company) was to pull back from my equity exposure per their top guru. The advise was based on the high price of the S&P, primarily held up by FANG and other tech stocks. I switched to their managed funds that are 35/65 stock/bonds on July 9th. I'm retired & in my early 60s so I'm in more of a capital preservation mode. I was 70/30 before the switch. Eked out 1.6% from July 9th thru yesterday.
