Charlie Munger's BEST Quotes on China vs US

I've probably seen around 25 to 30 episodes total from various seasons since the show first aired. Haven't watched enough to choose a favorite season or seasons of the show, though.

Any show that features a Tiny Tim song as a soundtrack, is cool in my book...



Tiny Tim - Living in the Sunlight

What a blast from the past.

My thoughts, based on their singles is that they were a pretty average, post-Britpop band in an era of average, post-Britpop bands like Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Travis, Snow Patrol, bands like that.

Not my thing obviously.

Very early to mid noughties.

No offence if you like them.

Quote from: SGR on May 30, 2024, 11:36 PMTrump guilty on all 34 counts in hush money trial, in historic first for a former U.S. president

This is going to be a very weird election cycle.

The guy currently leading in the presidential polls is officially a convicted felon.

Now, as a convicted felon, if Trump is re-elected, he'll be able to wield the nuclear arsenal, but not a firearm. He'll be able to sign bills into law, but not vote.

Did the pecker fit? I thought that if the pecker doesn't fit, you must acquit. Oh well, it must've fit. :laughing:


Imagine if Trump still manages to win re-election. And is sentenced to serve time in prison. I imagine the scene inside Trump's prison cell will look something like this...



Goodfellas - Dinner in Prison


With Donald Trump as "Paulie Walnuts."

I've heard maybe 1 to 3 songs by 5 of the bands on that list, so I'll have to listen to all of those albums. June 9th should be enough time for me but if anyone else needs more time, I'm good with an extension.

I know most of these bands thanks to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 but I haven't listened to their albums in full. So I'll start chipping away at them.

Quote from: Lisnaholic on May 31, 2024, 01:34 AMYes, I'm waiting to see how the Republicans are going to twist themselves into knots to justify supporting a guy who's been indicted twice, convicted of 34 felonies and been judged a rapist. I wonder if any senators will say, as good old Lindsay Graham once did, "Enough is enough!" (Of course those were the words in his mouth: his actions were to bend over and take more of the same.)

In theory, it'd be easy enough for Nikki Haley: she has all the moral conscience of a weathervane and could flip back to being an anti-Trumper again if she thinks it'll get her anywhere.

It's like you don't realize how much of a cult Trump supporters are. They will go into deep denial and vote for him anyways.
