If you want a used one, GE or Frigidaire, with freezer up top, not side by side, no ice maker or water dispenser, just basic fridge.  They are less likely to have repair problems.

3point said “…if the confusion meant I was mistaken for you or one of the other people on here who are much smarter than I am. But I wasn’t going to stand idly by while being mistaken for that cumberworld.”

TimB replies: “You are plenty smart, 3point.  I had to look up the word ‘cumberworld’.  I guess it’s used by Canadians as it doesn’t sou…[Read more]

Here you can see the same insignias on soldiers who are either Nazis, or who are all trying to simultaneously hail a taxi.

and oh my goodness, look at this:

Where did that come from?

Lausten, are you addressing me?  Because, if you want, I can be more specific about comparing T rump to dictators.

I’d know a filthy Nazi scum anywhere.

No, I’m kidding.  It’s the insignias on their sleeves.

But William, you are correct that T rump will not be technically guilty by law until there is some sort of conviction.  Similar to how someone like, say, Jeffrey Dahmer was innocent until his trial was done. The general public probably didn’t consider him to be innocent, but legally he was.

And if you accuse me of spitting out accusations and…[Read more]

No. The accusation of the inquiry being “behind closed doors” is nothing but a bogus attack on the process of the inquiry, because the T rumpists have nothing valid to say about T rump’s innocence.  The special hearing that the T rump Republicans barged into, en mass (and illegally, by the way, with bringing their cell phones in atop secret…[Read more]

Do you hate the Great Barrier Reef, Indiana?  I don’t know about your fancy think tank gobbledygook jargon about sea water being naturally buffered for acidity or alkalinity.  But just the heating of the sea (from AGW) has been enough to cause major mass bleaching of the coral, which, if it keeps happening, will probably kill it off a…[Read more]

Indiana, Your less civilized neighbors in Scotland (I love Scotland) are already producing enough wind power for 2 Scotlands.  And that’s JUST the renewable of wind power.  Maybe they can power England too.

Ahh! Beautiful windmills.  We may still need a wee bit of oil for their lubrication.  Insulating roofs and walls of buildings is a great idea, too, as long as green materials are used.    Some people say that they cure cancer. But maybe it’s just the decrease in air pollution from decreased use of coal.

I admit to being an old fogey in regards to rap.  But “Christian Rap”?, and worse, Christian Rap by Kanye West, no less?  It’s too too much.  Even art must have its limits, before it just becomes an insult to life in general.  (Maybe a little hyperbole, there, but you get the idea.)

Well, thanks, tho whatever I said about time travel was probably tongue-in-cheek.  Tho it is fun to think about.

As far as people being disrespectful, to others’ beliefs in the supernatural, yeah, that could be toned down, I suppose, but consider how it is frustrating to those of us who recognize rational beliefs to be so important, while we are…[Read more]

@William

You imply that T rump is just a regular guy who is a victim of investigations done by his adversaries.  As if he has committed no crimes. As if he has never done anything to warrant suspicion.  He is a criminal POTUS, who for now and maybe throughout another term and beyond, is above the law.

The very real prospect of an Autocracy is a…[Read more]

Meanwhile Trump is guilty of organizing a group of his cronies (some in and some not in his administration) of forcing the leader of Ukraine to announce that Ukraine will be investigating his political adversaries or risk losing the military assistance that they need to survive Russia.  T rump is also guilty of just about constantly obstructing…[Read more]

Yes, T rump uses just about every word that comes out of his mouth as an attempt to manipulate others into holding him in undeserved esteem.  And it works on at least 35% of the population.

Ghosts and spirits are as “real” as concepts are real.  But that’s it.  They are made up stories. They only exist in (what someone I know of refers to as) one’s “Mindscape”.

Good teaching moment, Lefty. Seriously.

Not being Schrodinger’s cat, however, I cannot fathom how something can be a 0 and a 1 at the same time.

That seems a good point, Widdershins.

I would just chip in that:

If you throw a rat (that has had part of its own brain ablated, so that the rat has become almost catatonic) into a tub of water, it will suddenly become quite frantically active, trying no to drown).  So maybe the “organoids” are a bit like that, in that they exhibit the stress…[Read more]

Yeah, there are different roads to knowledge.

For instance, the scientific method may not be the best way to acquire “carnal” knowledge. (although nerds seem to be doing better with the women these days)
