Good job by Harris tonight. She was the clear winner. Trump sounded like an angry old man.
The various looks on his face while Kamala was speaking were priceless, my sister-in-law sent us a text, "pretty sure he's crapping his diaper!" :lol:

Re: Pets.

They're various shades of unpleasant, yes. It became all the more obvious when Luke joined the family. He can be rambunctious and a shit-disturber, but he is absurdly friendly and happy. He makes the old ladies seem even more crotchety. OK, that was new to me, my mom heard it from a couple of diffe...

Re: The *ugh* 2024 US Election Thread

How y'alls feeling about the debate? My only fear—and I think it's a legitimate one—is that the media is lowering expectations for Trump so much that if he can avoid literally pissing his pants, the narrative will be that he'll have passed some kind of gravitas/competence test. And, the flip side, ...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

Household tips that truly work! Our main bathroom sink has a chronically slow drain and my repeated efforts with stuff like a snake have generally failed. Finally, I tried the baking soda and vinegar approach. Half a cup of baking soda, half a cup of vinegar, let the shit foam away for 15 minutes, ...

I think the kind of voter who may need a permission structure to vote for Harris got it from Liz Cheney. Few that those may be.
I'm inclined to agree with you on that, I only wish more of her party would speak up.

Re: The Trump observations thread

Add one more artist to the list of those suing Trump for unauthorized use of their music in his campaign. In this case, The White Stripes had sent legal notice asking him to stop, but he ignored them, probably hoping they'd go away, instead they filed suit in federal court today. https://www.cnn.com...

At the pet store today:


One of a handful of songs that I'll stinkeye a person if they say they don't like it.
Love that song, I'd stay in the grocery store or gas station until it was done playing.

Re: IMCT Running Club

I ran the Great North Run yesterday, half marathon from Newcastle to South Shields. I have plantar fasciitis so I haven’t been able to do any running training, just cycling and weights at the gym, plus I am an old git (61) so my goals were; 1. Don’t die 2. Try to run the whole way rather than stopp...
