“The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin

"Politicians have been proving Carlin right for decades. The GOP and the second Trump Administration seem bent on doing what they’ve always done, sometimes even turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Taxes are a major contributor, especially the billions upon billions that the rich and corporations don’t pay. Trump and his fellow Republicans are committed to keeping it that way — and, if their slim Congressional majorities can stick together, to do even more for those who need it the least. As one small example, the overall corporate tax rate could drop to 20%; domestic manufacturers could do even better, ending up with an effective corporate rate of 15%. The federal tax code is famous (and infamous) for its huge handouts to those with the highest incomes, the most egregious being the cap on Social Security taxes."

Nice. I have a SX-450 that has developed some intermittent static but I haven't opened it up yet.

I also have a SX-450 ..nice little receiver ...   Get some Dexoit Fader F5 and clean the various controls / pots... hopefully that will solve any static .. can also get some contact cleaner for speaker terminals / rca jacks... just don't spray it on the tuner section...

Cormorant Fishing on the Gifu Nagara River has been a summer sensation for the past 1,300 years. Nightly, between May and October, the usho (fishing master) and their cormorants work together by the light of flaming torches to hunt for sweetfish beneath the surface.
This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation in a select few local families and is a proud attraction of the area. The sound of the fishing masters tapping the boat is also listed among the 100 soundscapes of Japan.

Ha, funny. I was a technician for the Pioneer company in the '90s, in California... The owner used to walk around the plant with a big Star of David around his neck.

I'm more of a structure-purist. I'd say the "sub" with bread-not-cut-all-the-way-through does qualify because there is bread on the top and bottom, in contrast to the hot dog. You could make "sandwiches" from hot dog buns, and with sausages: just not with an opening and topping on the top.

  • In image editor, select and delete original text.
  • Use Clone tool to copy sections of background over empty spots.
  • Go to company website; use Web Developer Tools extension to identify the URL to their corporate webfont; paste URL into a new page and DL the font.
  • Use an online convertor to convert the webfont to TTF, and install the TTF.
  • In image editor, use Color Picker to set primary color to existing text color.
  • In a new layer, type the new text and adjust point size.
  • Use Rotate/Zoom tool to angle the text to match image.
  • Move text to correct position.

True Neutral. A hot dog will always be a sandwich. If a hot dog isn’t a sandwich then neither is a sub sandwich.
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty... Yeah that seems about right.

"Politicians have been proving Carlin right for decades. The GOP and the second Trump Administration seem bent on doing what they’ve always done, sometimes even turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Taxes are a major contributor, especially the billions upon billions that the rich and corporations don’t pay. Trump and his fellow Republicans are committed to keeping it that way — and, if their slim Congressional majorities can stick together, to do even more for those who need it the least. As one small example, the overall corporate tax rate could drop to 20%; domestic manufacturers could do even better, ending up with an effective corporate rate of 15%. The federal tax code is famous (and infamous) for its huge handouts to those with the highest incomes, the most egregious being the cap on Social Security taxes."

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Not about keyboards, politics, or global warming - for a change.

Everyone is fond of owls, except for mice and shrew and Simon Cowells.
