    What I don't get about the protestors

    And by this I mean, the anti-Israel protestors. But it could apply equally to some of the same protests done for the sake of climate change. And - that is the whole agitation approach. Block streets, make a noise, antagonize people --- It gets attention. That part works. THIS is what I don't...

    Homemade Potstickers, Ravioli, Pierogi

    Tired of buying them when - I can make them. Hasn't turned out great - yet. This is what I am wondering FOR THOSE who have made their own - do you use ordinary flour - or a specialty flour? Is there a trick to getting them THIN enough so they don't turn out doughey? Or soft enough that the...

    Red Beans and Rice

    I've always loved this, but I confess I've only ever made the stuff that comes out of a box. That's fine - but - I'm the only one in the family with a stomach for the SPICY variety. If I make this and it's too spicy - they won't eat it. Do you all know of a brand that's - well - less spicy...

    Mayorkas Impeachment

    Like almost all of the impeachments in my lifetime - I fail to grasp what the POINT is. Since the 80’s, they’ve largely turned into partisan affairs which means they don’t do anything. For those not paying attention - an impeachment is an indictment. It is not a conviction. A conviction is a...

    Who fixes or works on printers?

    Geek Squad just said nope, they don’t? Who does? Really good printer, can’t replace.

    Squatter's Rights legislation

    Is there someone who can come up with - even if you utterly and totally disagree with it - a rationale for why anyone would be given rights for occupying your property illegally? For example - you own a property seemingly abandoned for a dozen years, overgrown and in need of repair - squatters...

    A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

    From time to time, someone will reveal - they’re not in Southern Maryland. But - they post here. For some, I know why. They used to live here. They still feel connected. Or they knew or know people here. It’s relevant. But what I don’t understand is, why does someone come here and hang out -...

    Biden Taught Law School

    NO, not really - actually not at ALL. Like - ever. For all the crap that detractors say that Trump lies, my observation is that they're usually exaggerations. Best economy ever kind of stuff. But this - this is just delusional. But also, since Joe back in '87 was plagiarizing speechs, claiming...

    Stormy Fiasco

    So this little bit came across my desk recently --- This afternoon, President Trump shared an image of a 2018 letter from Stormy Daniels on his Truth Social Account. Here is what the 2018 letter that Stormy Daniels sent said, which should be the end of yet another lie that was told over and...

    Home Improvement Contractor

    Do you have someone you know that can reliably do small jobs? For example - I have a large door that somehow isn't set square and won't close properly. (Deleted HUGE section where I described my efforts to FIX it - so - referrals, not fix-it attempts) Do you know someone who would do...

    Advice for multivitamin or supplement for older men

    Been noticing more than average fatigue and brain fog, and it occurred to me I might not be getting what I need. Suggestions for things that WORKED for you?

    Stovetop and stove

    I've assumed a lot of the family cooking jobs lately - and since I don't cook a LOT - curious about something. Is it likely that a stovetop burner - or the interior - will heat a lot less than the maximum? Not "possible" - LIKELY. The stove isn't that old - maybe ten years, tops - but whenever...

    Repeated border arguments

    That are patently false. One I USED to hear, but not lately is "most illegal aliens are visa overstays". THAT is false, because we already know how many illegal aliens are entering due to catch and release, and estimates on got aways - persons pursued, that escaped. It's also false because the...

    Appetizers and sandwiches

    Is there a deli - even part of a grocery - where you KNOW I can get platters of sandwiches and hors doevres? Not sure I want to make them myself. Please - actual places. Not guesses.

    AARP and AAA

    I have belonged to both in the past but admittedly never made any effort to exploit the benefits. AARP I tried years ago when I became eligible and AAA when I got added to someone else’s subscription. I’m thinking they might be useful now - I’m only beginning to make use of “senior” benefits (I...

    355 Million

    I was listening to a radio show the other day - and the number came up from Trump's trial. How did they come up with such a number? There's no injured party. I'm hard-pressed to even think of an actual law being broken - near as I can tell, Trump overvalued his assets to secure loans. I don't...

    Getting pictures printed

    I only know of one place, and I guess because it's been a while since I had pics printed up, but I need them now for a bunch of reasons - The only place I know to get pics PRINTED - is WalMart. Is there anything else in this area? Is there a walk up, do it yourself place?

    The Gold Standard

    You know - I don't really grasp more about our money system than the average American. Actually, from what I read online, I might actually know a LOT more than the average American - but probably not enough. I hear way too many people saying that our currency needs to be based on something of...

    CPU Fan Failure

    Never had this happen before. Ran tests in BIOS - everything works EXCEPT the fan, so yeah - gone bus' up - and researched which fan I need to keep the old geezer of a workstation going --- and ordered one. Used of course, because they stopped making new ones. Videos say to use - thermal paste...
