Now I'm no American, but something smells FBIish about that address.

I'm kinda shocked that the Trump campaign would agree to this. These rules seem directly in response to his debate style.

For all Biden's many faults, having to share a stage with him in a civilized manner is almost certain to work against Trump. Especially when his campaign is consistently trying to paint Biden as mentally unwell and out of touch.

I'm glad it's happening, just shocked that it's happening under these conditions. I fully expected the Trump campaign to find a reason to back out leading up to this, and any of those rules would likely be a justification for that that his base would be fine with.

ICQ was my first foray into meeting girls online, back when that was a really weird thing to do.

Post a/s/l to pay respects.

When I hear about a house blowing up like this my mind immediately jumps to "meth lab" but I'd suspect that this would usually be pretty obvious to emergency responders. Given that they're saying it's okay for neighbors to return home I'm guessing that this wasn't the cause.

I guess that means a gas line fault is probably the most likely cause? I can't think of much else that would blow a whole house to bits, unless they were making bombs in there or something crazy like that.

That one surprises me less, based on the limited stuff I already know about GMO companies like Monsanto. Still madness, of course.

Well that's pretty much how I already live my life, so it should be an easy transition to indoctrinating my kid into nerdy shit.

Obviously she'll rebel and get super into sports or cars or something, but what can you do? 😄

Very fair point. And just to clarify, I loathe them all about equally regardless of how they obtained their wealth/power or what country they're from.

That's the way to do it. I used a broken laptop like that as my daily driver for a few years after losing my desktop and being unable to replace it.

They should name that shop Potpourri.

Yes! I legitimately looked into this for that very reason. Instead, my wife and I have a rat puppet that we've personified to the point that we consider it part of the family.

I assume she's using a separate keyboard/mouse, right? Though I'm enjoying the mental picture of someone trying to touch type on a vertical keyboard.

That's awesome to know. I suppose they're really just a game of "let's pretend" but with a bit of structure.
