Pickles and olives for me too. Everything else is air game

This is some variation of the ‘Lust’ device is Se7en.

The only certainty with JOA’s is that lawyers representing both parties will make bank if there is a disagreement.

Paying someone to install a pool is lighting cash on fire.

Buying a house with an existing pool or buying a boat isn’t nearly as big a waste.

The thought of waiting until the last minute of the day to cut the grass makes my skin crawl.

The Battle of Metaurus combined with the morale effects from the Fabian Plan over the prior 15 years definitely was a turning point.

It’s crazy to think about Hannibal roaming the Italian countryside for 15 years, sacking cities only to lose them a few months later when he moved on, until Scipio Africanus made enough trouble outside of Italy.

The larger than life reputations of Hannibal and Scipio Africanus during the 2nd Punic War are fascinating.

Most states have an industrial exemption for needing an engineering license. If you work directly for a manufacturer, you don’t need a license to provide certain services (in most cases, but not everything).

A 3rd party firm providing those same services would need a PE license. Why most engineers working in industry don’t have PE’s. Folks in Civil and Environmental will due to submitting documents to the government.

Incredible solo. I love how his lips are moving with the notes (?) making him the first brave soul to play an air guitar and real guitar solo at the same time.

The way I differentiate humans from every other animal is the ability to continue a cultural narrative from generation to generation. That lead to the very slow creation of language, agriculture, and civilization as we know it. It’s been tens of thousands of years of ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’. This progress is really crazy when you consider how quickly we forget our ancestors (great-great grandparents).

As someone else said, our species has always had the cognitive ability, but it’s been a slow creep from nuts and berries to today. The last 12,000 years and especially the last 100 years are truly remarkable. No one in recorded history was there when our human species began, and scientifically we will never get past a theory in my opinion. Boston Red Sox great Carl Everett has as much direct evidence for his claims as Darwin did.
