Bernie brought the most exciting campaign in the last 50 years. And he's a beast with energy.
But whatever, I'm just here to watch this shit go down.
@Razdawg22
It was never an age thing. It was a cognition and energy level thing. I've tried to keep up with Bernie on two different occasions. The man's a beast.
@TrueBloodNet
It's a brave New world out there.
All bets are off.
Bernie would talk all over and around Trump - he never comes off point.
Well I understand that - but watch how fast Bernie could raise money.
But as long as we out here getting into uncharted waters and Biden isn't going to endorse anyone. Might as well make it a run for the money.
Was riding with Biden.
I'm just here for the shit show now.
Run Bernie, run!

Here's a joke that has some bearing on current politics and its relation to the news cycle:
One day on a sailing ship the first mate shows up to duty drunk. The captain makes a note of this in the ship's log: "The first mate was drunk today". Much as the first mate pleaded, the captain would not strike the log entry because one can only do so if it is in error, and this entry was factually correct.

Understood, but I'd have to keep the Fuji's 😋

Why would you bin it all?
@BillyBones
If you read more than three articles in politico, this is news?
Did the assassination attempt look a little bit like a combination of WWE and a James Brown big finish?

This was not good. Electricity is sneaky. Have recently upgraded 2 panels on 2 houses - by my Union Master Electrician friend. Including 2 new ground rods each, and grounding to both sides of the water meter on copper pipes. Also whole a house GCFI and Arc-Fault breakers where required.
I feel much better.

True that, but after all, HW was one of the biggest spooks ever. He and the agency were intertwined like one. So naming it after him makes sense.
@lifeinthePNW
They mean HW, not Shrub.

G'morning belter. ☕
Nice pussy you've got there.
You all have a great day, stay frosty.

Well, it appears that the original folks who want to save it are a bit sentimental about it then.
Dadgum boomers and greatest generation engineers and architects who want to hang their greatest project on a hook for a thousand years.
Who can blame them? But yes it *looks* unfeasible.
@Graci
Mine goes from icy to hot.
Then it's time to put it down and walk away.

Original architects and designers of the ISS have written a letter urging them not to deorbit it but rather to put it in a higher orbit for decades using the same or less amount of fuel it will take to deorbit it and trash it.
