    Yes I loved his comedy too.

    Yes while he didn't have a chemical engineering degree, he was quite smart.

    To me, he was a great comedic entertainer that I disagreed with as well as laughed with.

    That video is from 1992.

    And yes, you are correct, the situation has changed.

    U.S. air pollution is now far less than it was in 1992: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1225626/air-pollutant-emissions-reductions-us-by-type/

    We rank 99th. by the way:  https://www.iqair.com/us/world-most-polluted-countries

    And then there's plastic waste in the oceans: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/visualized-ocean-plastic-waste-pollution-by-country/

    So, yes the situation has changed, and, for the better in the USA.

    It has sadly gotten worse in many others. 

    I hope everyone enjoys the George Carlin video, and, I hope you enjoy this one below.

    The US is still part of that Earth that is doing all of the polluting.  It still will affect the earth and the US.  We also are second at using energy, much of which is still oil and coal.  

    But back to your original post.  No, I don't want to strangle a girl who stands up and speaks about what she believes in, even in jest,  over and over...  even if I disagreed with her.

  2. I have bought a few used Macs from OWC and have always been satisfied with them.  Still using a 2012 MacBook Pro.  Bought it for my son for school about 6 years ago, then started using it myself for school when our district switched to Window's based machines.

    I do have a 2017 iMac with the i7 and top of line graphic card.  holding on to it as a photoshop machine that is still running CS6 and for the older versions of some software and plugins that don't work with the new Intel Mac Studio I have.  Let me think about selling it...

  3. Hope you enjoy your retirement.  I am mostly enjoying mine.  Similar situation as me, where my wife is still working.  You have to have some hobbies and I have a few, but adjusting to the lack of a schedule, or at the very least a change of schedule takes some time.  But if you are comfortable doing nothing then... thumbs up!

    How in hell do you play that neck.  I have a hard enough time in low light with an Ebony or Rosewood fingerboard, but that checkerboard is crazy!

    One of two ways.  

    You have played so long you know the shape of the neck and don't have to look anymore.

    Cue razor sharp snark from Kiz in 3...2...1...

    If you aren't really playing, then who the fuck cares what the neck looks like....

    Amiright?   😆

    WTF is, “phantom lighting?”

    I think he is talking about lightning in the clouds, sometimes called heat lightning in the south.  Lightning going from cloud to cloud rather than cloud to ground.
