Remember when those retards in the GOP were decrying volcano monitoring as a waste of government resources?‬

Figured I oughta put one of these up.  This way, if one of us just wants to sound off about what's going on and how far along we are, we can do so without cluttering up any of the planning threads.

In my case, I've been trying to get my car working (AGAIN!) while getting my butt handed to me by my job.  Delivering pizza on a bike is not easy work. 

Hopefully things will change soon.  I've decided that once my car is running, I'm going to start delivering for Uber Eats.  The size, age, and condition of your vehicle doesn't matter much.  It just has to have a valid state inspection, tags, and insurance.  I've asked some of them and have been told that they tend to bring home between $800 and $1000 weekly working full-time hours.  That SHOULD settle my financial situation in fairly short order. 

Giuliani went on Fox News to defuse Trump's legal drama. He inflamed it instead, experts say

Quote:No, not that Fox News interview. The second, possibly more incriminating one with Fox & Friends the morning after.

If Wednesday was bad, legal experts and campaign-finance watchdogs warn that Thursday's televised appearance was even more legally damning, strengthening the case that President Trump broke campaign finance laws.

Today, gas in Vancouver is US$7.83 per US gallon.

Canadians are buying twice as many new trucks, vans, and SUVs as we are new small fuel-efficient cars.

It must be nice to have the money to buy a larger vehicle than needed and buy the extra fuel it needs to go the same distance as a car, especially at the higher price being charged for the fuel.

Go figure.

It's rare that we find a song that grants blessings without invoking any of the Powers.

Bob, I notice that the Spoiler function on the forum is looking for two images that don't appear to exist: www.accessdenied-rms.net/images/collapse_collapsed.png and www.accessdenied-rms.net/images/collapse.png (At least, they're missing if one uses the default theme.) We just need a couple of 20px×20px images for these, but I thought I'd ask whether you already have images kicking around somewhere before seeing what I could make.

EDIT: And how do I turn off link parsing in a post? I didn't set those as links.

Praying that those who "continue to struggle" (i.e., those who aren't rich) will not be made “losers under new tax laws” counts as unacceptably political speech.  You heard it from Ayn-Rand-acolyte Paul Ryan first, ladies and gentlemen.

Idina Menzel Lyrics

"A Hero Comes Home"
(from "Beowulf" soundtrack)

Out of the mist of history 
He'll come again 
Sailing on ships across the sea 
To a wounded Nation 

Signs of a saviour 
Like fire on the water 
It's what we prayed for 
One of our own 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home 
He goes where no one has gone 
But always 
A hero comes home 

Deep in the heart of darkness sparks 
A dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness 
He finds the will to fight 

There's no surrender 
Always remember 
It doesn't end here 
We're not alone 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home 
He goes where no one has gone 
But always 
A hero comes home 

And he will come back on the crimson tide 
Dead or alive 
And even though we know the bridge has burned 
He will return 
He will return 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home 
He knows of places unknown 
Always 
A hero comes home 

Someday they'll carve in stone 
"The hero comes home" 

He goes and comes back alone 
But always 
A hero comes home 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home





Since this song is newer than the ones than Doug has heard on his journey,   It's pretty obvious what this one will do.
