Yes, he has, at least once. He had a drivers license at one time.

Morning Kimmie. This you before your first sip?

I’m posting a random pi here to see if I have the same problem.

Yes, that was why it was banned almost everywhere. The "right" way to drink it is with chilled water dripped onto a sugar cube and into the glass - when it reaches the right dilution the oils in the alcohol cause it to go a sort of pearly, translucent color, called a louche.

I can think of a lot better things to do with $100 than taking a trip just to buy Malort! I love that even their website accepts that it's not the most popular drink

It's a liqueur from Chicago that I don't recommend you becoming familiar with, unless you are pouring shots of it for someone you want revenge on for some past horrific sin.

The fatality rate for the Tesla Cybertruck, aka DePlorean is apparently 17 times worse, and yet Tesla has done nothing about it.

That wasn't a reason I had ever thought of for having it on a rope. Especially not for Pope-on-a-rope soap!

I assume the solution is to sue if he tries it. The Constitution and 14th Amendment are clear enough that even this SCOTUS should rule against Trump. Everyone gets counted, Congress decides not the President and it is every 10 years.

I'm having one of those days

It always reminds me of mid 1980s computer mice (left Apple Mac mouse from 1986, right Commodore Amiga mouse from 1985)

Doug in NC @douginnc.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Yeah, and the jobs numbers were really bad too

For me it's always going to be Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast album

LOL. I'm going to avoid giving you any more music advice then. I was into what was referred to as Poodle Rock (ie metal plus big perms) back in the 80s though.

Amazon is your friend in this case. Any TV you get will be better than your 25 yr old one, but as they say size matters. As long as you get the size you want and have actually heard of the brand, you should be fine.

I keep thinking of this British cartoon strip character.

Delivering yesterday is an interesting spin on "it's late".

Someone seems to have forgotten that they are a free speech absolutist.

Typing in BASIC programs wasn’t too bad, it was machine code that was a pig, even when they introduced checksums to help you. Imagine trying to type this in flawlessly.

Talking of waffles, I just had coffee and a Belgian waffle here this afternoon. Best Belgian waffles in Charlotte IMHO.

Mussolini, Stalin and Mao all made it too. Time obviously has a thing about obnoxious dictators

Is there anyone in this group that actually likes being with people?

Doug in NC @douginnc.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

This is one in a bar I was in earlier this year

I'm beginning to thing that the Twitter idea of requiring the number of people you follow to be no more than 10% higher than the number that follow you once you hit 5K follows makes sense. Without it, you get accounts like this one that just followed me.

Looks like it's over now. This is from the BBC 15 minutes ago

How is it that low? He's threatening 100% tariffs on Mexican imports, which would double the price. The cost to build one is around $15K, so 100% tariffs would add $15K to the price, unless their accountants get very creative with what they charge themselves to build one.

Ok, now I have really made it! I have achieved the triumvirate of bad accounts following me. Gambia bots, booby bots and finally my first Elon!

The first one that I used was something like the teletype on the left, though I don't know what was on the other end of the 75 baud modem. It was a dinosaur even back then. The first that I owned was a VIC 20 like the one on the right.

Doug in NC @douginnc.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Yay, got my first booby bot! I had my first Gambia bot last week, so all I need is an Elon to complete the set. This is so professional - different avatar “girl” to the banner pic “girl”.
