His birthday is actually tomorrow, so BigMark will have to post another picture in a new thread tomorrow.

Outstanding!

Dogs amplify joy and when they go just the opposite. Having adopted many goldens, a couple of labs in the past we now have a Newfie (along with the wife's Schion, not a good weight match). This shows great promise for the larger breeds, and more money for ddbird's occupation, if this works with no r...

and I have not seen cross pollination addressed anywhere. But you know this is going to be inevitable.

Maybe it will be pigs flying. If they can cross breed pigs and bees, the pigs can do the pollinating. This may also result in lower cost honey hams.

According to History.com it's happened 5 times. https://www.history.com/news/presidents-electoral-college-popular-vote Lincoln did not win the popular vote either in 1860. So, in a democracy shouldn't it be only a person receiving more than 50% of the eligible votes be elected? Why make exceptions ...

So a “state” with say 50,000 acres mainly farmland containing 10 families as owners, farmers who by the way grow the food that all those vegetarians hunger for, would count as 10 family unit votes. Now the neighboring 50,000 acre “state”houses welfare units averaging 10 children each, contribute no...

And exactly why are you avoiding BMM?

Yes, but a "state" is just an arbitrary, geographical line on the ground. A popular vote gives every human exactly one vote regardless of where their physical person resides. A Nation is as arbitrary as a "state". Groups of people in these arbitrarily drawn lines, not obviously ...

So you're a Californian who is voting for Trump -- if Trump wasn't on the ballot, would you vote for RFK Jr? Or just not vote at all? What if Trump told his supporters to vote for RFK Jr? Does that change the calculus? Trump's ego is such that the only possible response from him would be WRITE-IN T...
