This is your public profile. Write something about yourself! No.

It was so good NBC stole the music to use as the fanfare for their Olympic coverage. (It's pretty good. It's not high art, but it's fun, campy, and well worth a watch.)

I read their question as why the "me" in the quoted story doesn't respond to "are you or could you be pregnant" with "no, I have a penis." The answer that I would give is that I prefer to answer medical questions directly and clearly, letting the medical professional follow up so that I'm providing the information in the way that makes most sense to them. Then, at the end, I'll add anything relevant that they might have missed. But other people may have different answers.

All of which are/were better than the Republicans they ran against.

Even if they had never voted with the Dems (and I'm fairly sure they voted with the Dems more than any Republican did), they still gave the Dems the majority, which grants a meaningful amount of control. Again, they're terrible people and should be replaced by any other Democrat ASAP, but they are still demonstrably better than any Republican.

When I had outdoor cats growing up, they would immediately remove any sort of collar you put on them. Also, even if your cats tolerate bells, it makes them easier prey for the predators that like cats. You're doing your cats no favors by letting them outside uncontrolled (use a leash or build a catio).

Only way to do that is to keep kitty indoors. Cats are very effective hunters/multi-family-treat-goblins. (Of course, you should keep your cats indoors anyway. They live longer and so does the local bird population)

That's a really odd looking paintbrush; are they all that loud?

I never said single family houses were an efficient use of space.

It's not that it won't sell, it's that you can't fit as many in the same amount of land. Modern cookie-cutter design houses are incredibly well optimized to fit the most house on the least space without actually touching. That's why they don't have awnings anymore (permanent awnings count as structure, so a 3ft awning means 3ft less house), etc.

The third Chancellor of West Germany was deputy head of broadcasting under Ribbentrop during the war. Denazification ended very quickly once the Cold War started and West Germany became the buffer against the Soviets.

The reason California is a two party consent state is that, in 1967 (when it was passed), the legislature was worried that unpopular (read: racist) comments made in private would cause PR problems if brought to the public view.

It depends on how you like it. Some people have different preferences by cut, some don't. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a bleu rare filet, sometimes medium rare. I don't generally prefer NY strip (it's fine, but it's kind of an in-between cut, not a standout at anything), but I'll generally choose medium rare if that's what I'm getting.

Coal plants vent more radioactive material (~4,000 tons/yr in the US) into the air in their ash than Nuclear power plants produce spent nuclear fuel ~2,000 tons/yr in the US). And the Nuclear Power plants store their waste in barrels, not the atmosphere. The only reason radioactive cleanup costs don't bankrupt coal plants is that we just don't bother making them clean up.

Correction: Humans were around in the First Age, before Beleriand was destroyed and sunk into the sea. That's a map of Middle Earth as it was in the Third Age

It's a good layout. Pull through is faster and more flexible than pull-in, provides more protection to the infrastructure, and, importantly, a canopy provides shelter from weather.

I'm not sure where you're getting that. Wikipedia currently shows (officially) 52-47. Counting Mitch out it's still 51-47

Does Softball not have the Infield Fly Rule? In baseball, the batter is out, but the runner already on base would have still scored. Unless it's already 2 outs, I suppose.

The Library of Sennacherib in the same palace mound is slightly older, at 8th century BCE, but the Brits decided to mix the tablets all up with the ones from Ashurbanipal while ... moving... them to England, so...

That's a great idea. Use Psychological Torture techniques against the National Guards you've forced to stand around watching a pond go stagnant.
