Just some guy
What is the maiden name of your father’s mistress?

At what age did your childhood pet run away?

In what city did you first experience ennui?

In what year did you abandon your dreams?

At the dawn of the internet, this thoughtful analysis of the capabilities of the Bagger 288 (this machine's sister") was produced, and is still extremely funny.

This is an excellent point. Does that graph just show LEGAL gambling? If so, it's kind of pointless.

Maybe there's more sports gambling _in total_ going on, due to the ease of use of the legal apps. That would be bad.

But I don't think that's what they're showing here.

Jeremiah 10 prohibits Christmas trees:

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen...

3 [he] cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

I am not at all recommending that we shoot a few more health insurance executives... but I note that Anthem Blue Cross has suddenly decided to reverse their odious-on-odious limits on anesthesia coverage during surgeries and other procedures.

Anthem Blue Cross says it's reversing a policy to limit anesthesia coverage
Anthem will reverse a policy that would have capped insurance coverage for anesthesia after objections from doctors and lawmakers.

Or maybe bring him something thoughtful and useful, and don't mention that you think that MAGAs are morons, and wait until you become friendly, and then let him slowly realize that you're a stand-up person, worthy of friendship, but have different politics, and MAYBE get him to think a little
