  1. Worse. https://www.amazon.com/Price-Inequality-Divided-Society-Endangers/dp/0393345068/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=price+of+inequality&qid=1581343145&sr=8-1

    60

    She looks 20 years younger than me. Have a happy.
  3. Nope. It's always been there, but it's been getting worse, a lot worse.
  4. He's a kook, a convicted felon who pled guilty to avoid more serious charges related to money laundering for a political campaign. Seriously, he's crazy.
  5. You don't know until you get there. What we are doing now is developing transitional technologies, and there are a lot of attempts to build it. Tesla has some good ideas, but, again, we won't know what a sustainable technology will look like until we get it built. There is going to be a lot development work involved before we put it to bed.

    Private jet

    You might want to brush up on your Mandarin first, since you'll be there for a while.

    Laura Nyro

    Laura deserved better. Part of it was she didn't wind up in one of the better studios. This recording is passable, which is a genuine surprise.

    Private jet

    I forget the name of the business, and I've never used it, but you can book passage on deadheading private jets for a reasonable cost (reasonable being a relative measure). For an old, decrepit guy like me, that sounds as close to perfect as you're gonna get without a Star Trek transporter.
  9. Speaking of shows where India is involved, this is prob my favorite:
  10. It wakes up my PTSD half the times I watch it. But I have so far kept watching it.
  11. You got a recipe for that? That looks kinda awesome.
  12. For the last couple years, it's where I live.
  13. The Good Karma Hospital is a good Brit tv show. I am watching it on Acorn tv, but it wouldn't be expensive for one of the other services to pick up eventually, maybe one of them will get it. Which brings us to the obvious question, would you like it? The gals would be more likely to like it, but last time I looked, I wasn't a gal. A while back, a reporter of Indian descent was working in Pakistan, and planned on visiting India for the first time when his assignment was over. He asked a friend what to expect, and all he said that when he got there, he would know. About 1AM he pulled into a gas station just over the border. When he got out of the car, another car pulled in with 2 boys on the hood of the car. One was catching water from a leaking radiator in a bottle, the other was pouring water back into the radiator from another bottle. I think of India as amazing, wonderful and horrible in roughly equal proportions. Walk out of your hotel, and you may have to step over a dead body. You can buy a new car for $600 or a cellphone for about $10. But if somebody hits your car, you can forget about an open casket funeral. You will need to have a little interest in India for this show to work for you. It's low budget, which means the writing and acting is a bit contrived at times. If there were as many medical problems in India as there are in the show, the population would be in decline. Having said all that, it's about people making a good life in a challenging situation, many of whom could hop on a plane and triple their income overnight. The need is extreme, and they find the challenges rewarding.
  14. and your money fer nuttin'..
  15. You are projecting your self hatred onto others. And the feeling is mutuwal..

    Grub hub

    I had never looked at Grub Hub, and now I wish I hadn't. I used to be out of delivery range for all the places (like pizza) that used to be what was available. Grub Hub has dozens of places, places I'd never even heard of (this area has hundreds of restaurants, we really do punch above our weight class for restaurants). Now I am hungry from looking at menus, and my fingers are twitchy, first order has free delivery. Get back, you vile demon of temptation!!
  17. There are a lot of good recipes for chili. Back in the 80s, when I was fairly new to cooking, I bought a book of chili recipes. Now I just have my habits, which I change up. Chili needs some 'dark' flavors, like cocoa, or molasses. Sometimes I add bacon. I always add beans, before because that's New England, now because I have to cut back on meat. I like to add one chile in adobo sauce. It used to be a couple, but I ain't the man I used to be. Just had a thought, I bet chicken liver would make a good chili. (and bacon)
  18. North pole, south pole, greenland, iceland, american glacier, european glaciers, himalayan glaciers, permfrost, everything is melting.
  19. Actually, I didn't. But I do love seeing some of that 60s humor again.
  20. Do they have High Tea? I took the girls to a high tea for mothers day last year, they really liked it.
  21. The deck is stacked against poor people. You can see that in the catastrophic rise in homelessness.
  22. Looks like tea in your living room. So what's the little cup in the middle about?
