      This is a nice little clip on woodturning, nothing to do with how easy on the eye she is...

      This too shall pass.

        As the guest pointed out, Robert's understands that the legitimacy of the court is paramount. Some judges like Thomas are very conservative but partisanship is not all that present once elected.
        Robert's himself has become more liberal over time as Chief Justice while even Kavaunagh has voted approximately 50% of the time alongside Gorsuch(Trumps other nomination) and 50% with Breyer(generally Liberal).

        It'll be interesting to see how it develops but may end up in situ.
        What podcast is that?

            That’s straight from the apprentice - if it was propaganda they would have reshot the toddleresq wave when he gets out of the chopper

                Biden now 84% on 538 and 91% with The Economist.

                Trump is in a death spiral.

                    Aren't social connections the biggest predictor of long-term longevity and happiness? Not saying you can't be sociable in the countryside, but it's a hell of a lot easier when you live in a city centre filled with bars, restaurants and other amenities, and there's little to no friction to going out. There's a big difference between walking out the door, versus having to get a 20min+ taxi each way.

                        That's just Manhattan - For me, the greatest city in the world. I don't think I will ever tire of that sky line. Just looking at that picture has me itching to get back there!

                          Ah if you live in the country, you just drive everywhere. On the back roads on the way home obvs.

                                    Cool thanks, ill give that a listen. I've heard plenty of stuff about how the Democrats could pack the court etc, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

                                    Podcasts about Crypto/Audio Engineering take up most of my listening time now, which aren't really of much general interest, but the NPR fresh air podcast is great in general, it has a nice mixture of arts and politics, the interviewer Terry Gross is fantastic. The episode on Pence was very interesting, a really good portrait of him rather than the caricature he is normally presented as. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/26/76461...ent-mike-pence

                                          Getting caught in the act alone is probably the most embarrassing thing that can happen to you. I thought everyone was in bed out cold BUT I didnt notice her creeping footsteps . The door burst open I fumbled but couldn't hide what I was doing . Extreme mortification.

                                                  I thought this debate was going better than last weeks, but three times so far the candidate has completely ignored the question and spoken about something else for 2 minutes. The art of debate has been lost.

                                                    I know you know this but this isnt about debating a point. This is about getting your talking points to a captive audience.

                                                    Kamala doing well though.

                                                    Pence really has a better way about him than Trump. You can at least respect the man.
                                                    This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
                                                    All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

                                                      Main takes from that debate seem to be Pence with a bit of pinkeye, and a fly landing on his head.

Two of Connolly/O'Dowda/Robinson will be the wingers. If Idah starts there's a possibility that McGoldrick could be #10 and Hendrick benched.

Very unlikely that he'd switch to a different system with a back three for the first time given that it's knockout. Perhaps down the line but not tonight.

                                                                                                .

                                                                                                What color was the ball?

                                                                                                What gender was the person that pushed the ball?

                                                                                                What did they look like?

                                                                                                What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?

                                                                                                What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?

                                                                                                And now the important question: Did you already know, or did you have to choose a color/gender/size, etc. after being asked these questions?
                                                                                                Anyone else have a form of Aphantasia? / phantasic

                                                                                                When I was younger I didn't realise how vividly other people are able to visualise things. Kinda just never thought anything of it. Best I can see is as if something was far away on a B&W TV. So for that set of questions above, I only have a very vague idea of a table/bar/person in my head. Dreams are more like ideas than visuals. So while I can lucid dream, it's not particularly exciting. And I never not known when I'm dreaming.


                                                                                                It's a bit like internal monologues, some people have them, some people don't, but people generally assume that everyone else has the same as them.

There are two sides regarding Charlston and Confederate statues one sides argument is racist and the others isn't... dressing it up as he was only speaking specifically about the statues doesn't wash, its just denial of what is patently clear to anyone who isn't in deep denial of the fact that Trump is an out and out racist.
                                                                                                                        But but but he’s a racist...” doesn’t actually prove the claim though. It’s possible for him to be a racist, and also for that statement to be misrepresented.

They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."

                                                                                                                        Reporter: "George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same."

Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down -- excuse me, are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him?"

                                                                                                                        Reporter: "I do love Thomas Jefferson."

                                                                                                                        "So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.

                                                                                                                        "Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group."
                                                                                                                        Could he gave phrased it better? Absolutely.
