Best Buy is pretty decent for a big chain. Wish Radio Shack was still around for smaller stuff though.


Depends on which Radio Shack. I definitely miss the one from the 70’s that sold everything from batteries to stereos, but specialized in kits and parts. You could literally build a working radio from scratch. They had every part needed. Thats what I loved. The place with all the weird and wonderful parts. The kits for learning to build gear. In the 90’s it turned into a glorified cell phone store.

Why shouldn’t women be like this?

Men had their purpose taken away.

The pill took away all fear of consequences for illicit sex.

They don't need to marry as, even if they fail, Uncle Sugar will be a husband of last resort.

They rule the colleges now.

And now they're told daily how strong and powerful and desirable they are. Far above the brutes. And since they dont Need men anymore, they only pursue the most desirable of men for pleasure (with that small number laughing all the way to the harem).

It’s kind of inevitable that women have become like this. Society gets more of what it rewards.

Once again, veggies sourced from Mexico are thought to be the culprit:

Taylor Farms is recalling prepared salsa and guacamole over a risk of salmonella. A Sunday announcement on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website states that the agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local officials are looking into a salmonella outbreak in several states connected “to fresh jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors.” A Mexico-based supplier for Coast Citrus Distributors has been identified as a possible origin for the outbreak, and Taylor Farms “is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers.” The recall covers “finished products” with jalapeno for “Possible Salmonella Contamination,” such as dips, salsa and guacamole, under the Trader Joe’s and Freshness Guaranteed brand names, the announcement states. States in the South, the Midwest and Northeast received the products.

None. Dual Citizenship is a farce and shouldn’t even exist.

They're called Army Surplus, but it's just a bunch of cheap Chinese crap masquerading as military surplus.


For reasons many have listed here, there isn’t really any surplus anymore . We don't stock caches of clothing and gear the way we did before the Cold War ended. We use far fewer people, and have adopted much of the civilian sector’s efficiency ethos. What surplus we do have we send to third world allies.

Its a shame, really. Some of my fondest memories of childhood are at surplus stores going through cool old gear and jackets. I wore my old OD paratrooper trousers like a second skin when I was 13.

The whole point of state sponsored colleges was a place of education for common citizens, where you didn't have to be elite to go to college. Now every Tom Dick & Harry State U. is a Harvard wannabe.

That’s not true. The water gets treated but it rarely requires desalination because the source is freshwater 95% of the time.


Most power plants have the basics for desalination , especially nuclear. And with seawater electrolysis, as long as your plant can produce excess power, you can clean water with it. In the Middle East, dual use plants are all along the coasts.

Taking a piece of my first retirement upfront and paying off my house and car. 6months later , COVID hit and prices skyrocketed and never came back down. I get offers to buy my house literally every week. There’s no way in hell Id sell and have a new house payment in this market.

SAN DIEGO (WLNS) — It’s not every day a piece of science fiction history is discovered, but that’s exactly what happened with the original 33-inch USS Enterprise model from “Star Trek: The Original Series.”

The model was designed by production designer Matt Jefferies and built by model maker Richard C. Datin Jr. in 1964. The model was used to film the opening credit Enterprise fly-by shots as well as effects shots for the “Star Trek: The Original Series” pilot episode “The Cage.”

From the late 1960s to the early 1970s the model resided on the desk of Star Trek’s creator, Gene Roddenberry. In the late 1970s Roddenberry loaned the model to Paramount during the productions of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” after which it disappeared.

Fast forward 45 years to October 2023 and the original 33-inch model was discovered in a storage unit and listed on eBay. In April of 2024 Heritage Auctions arranged for the return of the USS Enterprise model to Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry Jr., the son of Gene Roddenberry.

Since then the model has undergone restoration efforts to help stabilize the model and preserve it for future generations to view and enjoy.

Preservation is a key focus for Roddenberry Entertainment CEO Rod Roddenberry, who sat down for an interview at San Diego Comic-Con. The 33-inch USS Enterprise model was on display at the Paramount+ Lodge, giving fans the opportunity to get an up close view of this piece of Star Trek history.

In the comic series this was based on, she didn’t like being Jen Walters and hated when her one night stands who fricked her as She Hulk might see her as Jen in the morning.


It was a whole thing about how some people, like her client, saw super powers as a detriment but she couldn’t see anything but benefits from it.


She-Hulk was always a marginal character at best until John Byrne was given free reign on her title, and he turned it into Heavy Metal style sexpot fantasy.



Wonder of wonders, sales suddenly shot up when Byrne took over.

Feminists didn't read superhero comics. Teenaged boys did. Marvel, once again, forgot it's real audience and let political idiots try to wishcast something into existence that the market will never, ever support.
