Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?

I'm looking at photos & video of Anne Heche's accident and the first spot, where she hit the garage, might have been a complex I lived in years ago. I know it was less than a mile away from where she went airborne. I'm trying to get confirmation from someone else. I can't find the address yet online...

Not in my region: Did anyone notice that Bill Russell died July, 31 (2022)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Russell He had 11 championship rings out of 13 seasons playing for the Celtics, more than any other player. https://sportsbrief.com/facts/bio/16015-comprehensive-list-nba-players-rings/ I ...

Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?

This was a couple of weeks ago. Whenever there's a special sports event, the host city will usually various activities and often "smaller" games before the main event. At least for All-Star games. I was in a host city for a Final Four but that was like 30 yrs ago. They had fan stuff but not like now...

Re: Depression is likely not caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, study says

It's funny, I can think of 3 people who were on antidepressants and, though I'm no shrink, it seemed apparent they had chemical imbalance issues but for the life of them, they never wanted to take what was prescribed. Only wanted to self-medicate. I guess I've known other people who've been on them....

Re: The food and drink thread

Have you made this? I forget where I was, maybe Costco, and they had octopus. I knew I could come home and find recipes on teh internets, if I didn't already have recipes in books but I wasn't that curious to buy. I guess the cost didn't scream, "Oh man, try me!" I'm not sure what it normally runs ...

Because of the war?
Yeah, "putin's price hike" is the narrative being promoted by the establishment now. You'd have to have an exceptionally short memory to buy it, so I won't be surprised if it catches on with the mainstream public.
So what is the problem?

Re: AAA: Ask America Anything

It's an interesting question... https://www.tiktok.com/@lilicurrie/video/7096293582012828971 I feel like there's two answers to that question, 1. whether it's reasonable, given the time period, general state of understanding, collective standing of the people at that time and 2. the legal authority...

Re: Little gusts of hot air that don't deserve their own thread.

I’ve seen my neighbor take a half dozen ambulance rides in the last couple of years. This morning he just walked up to the gurney and got up there in a practiced way. I can’t even imagine calling an ambulance if I wasn’t in the throes of death. Maybe it’s one of his family members who insists on th...

Will watch some of her videos. A bit...
