If you view just half of this album cover, it looks like Garfunkel has an amazing Fu ManChu!

Wider view of same photo

Steve8282,

@RickiTarr Interesting fact. Art Garfunkel and Teller are the same hight. Paul and Penn are opposite extremes.

What are the best TV theme songs of all time? Not the best shows — but the opening songs that immediately get you pumped when you hear the first few notes?

My top 5 (not in order)

Game of Thrones
The Office (US)
Poirot
Narcos
Law & Order

What did I miss?

We can keep a penis hard. We can transplant hair from your butt to your head. We can even put boobs on any part of your body you think they'd look good on.

Yet we all still poop.

When are we going to tackle the really difficult problems?

@Mrfunkedude It’s the CO2 of life.

CLIMATE CRISIS

Can Seawalls Save Us?

Huge coastal barriers could protect the world’s cities. But they’ll have unexpected costs.

"When I wrote a book on Trudeau in 2019, one of three central contentions made was that his greatest strengths are also his greatest weaknesses — his doggedness, determination and stubbornness — and that the day would come when voters would tire of the idiosyncrasies that once amused them. “Whether we fall by ambition, blood or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust,” wrote 17th century playwright John Webster."

Steve8282,

@mpjgregoire Still no viable alternative.

Steve8282,

@mpjgregoire None who can run for PM until Mr Trudeau decides to step aside.

Steve8282,

@mpjgregoire Nor are they necessary given the other leadership candidates.

The New York Times/Siena College poll claims Biden is losing to Trump in five states

David Axlerod says Biden shouldn't run

Bill Kristol says Biden shouldn't run

Mainstream media is pushing Biden shouldn't run

Your reminder...

Polls had Romney beating Obama by as many as 5 points

Spoiler alert: Obama won 332 electoral votes and 51.1% of the popular vote

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/07/us/elections/times-siena-battlegrounds-registered-voters.html

headline Barack Obama suffers shock poll slump as Mitt Romney draws level Binders full of bullshit
headline Romney's strong debate performance erases Obama's lead Lol. Is this from the debate where Obama said "Please, proceed" and Romney had the Libya moment?

DO NOT BOOST THIS I DON'T NEED MORE ANSWERS

So ... our 42" Panasonic TV (mostly used by @feorag) turns out to be over 12 years old and only does 1080p. We probably want a 4K screen in our near future, as a dumb display for the 4K Apple TV box. Can go to 55", maybe larger (we need to measure the niche). Won't touch Samsung, Sony, or anything that refuses to work without an internet connection. How are LG these days?

Steve8282, (edited )

@cstross @feorag Have had an 55” LG OLED for just under five years now and love it. Great picture, zero burn in even though I watch tons of programming with graphical scrolling. Never had a single problem.

"This is either a contest of army paintings that is held on the aggressor's airfields or it's really a cheap way to deceive Ukrainian intelligence, air intelligence, space intelligence. But, of course, it has zero effect" - representative of Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Andrii Yusov told Ukrainian RBK media commented about Russians painting fake aircraft at their military airfields.

Please help me buy Fishy a trebuchet. Does anyone know how insanely expensive trebuchets are these days? The price of a good trebuchet has skyrocketed astronomically since 1400 AD.

@lowqualityfacts AR-15s have destroyed the entire trebuchet market.

Release most domestic animals in a forest and they will be gone within the year. Cows? Eaten. Chickens? Extra Eaten. But not pigs. Pigs revert — they survive and each generation is more close to some lost wild boar ideal form than the next. Why are pigs different? Are they less domesticated? Is it the omnivory? Is it their intelligence?

In a few decades people say they need power weapons to protect their families from the pigs. What the heck?

(edit: some cows, chickens survive? see replies)

Steve8282,

@futurebird Power weapons are the twenty first century version of “ give someone a hammer”. The pig reversion is a much more interesting question.
