  • There's a provision in that bill that allows Trump to be a dictator/king for life.

    Download the app "5 calls". It is ad free, and free. It will give you the phone number of your representatives and senators, as well as a script if you need it, for every issue that is currently up for vote.

  • US dishwashers specifically need to have the hot water run at the kitchen tap so that the first fill has hot water. They don't turn on the heating element for that first gallon and so it is cold water that isn't doing a heck of a lot.

  • The first computer I ever used was a Macintosh 128k. It didn't have an OS. The OS was on a floppy that you had to have in to start the system. My dad bought two external floppy drives so that he could run more complex programs on the thing.

  • Whether or not Russia's nukes are functional is immaterial. They know that they don't know which ones work. They also know they no longer have MAD on their end. All they can do is saber rattle with them, because if they ever try to use them, they know that there is a very good chance that the nukes will fail to detonate, for a variety of reasons, and the immediate retaliation from every other nuclear power, except China, would be the end of Russia.

  • Got it insured by Lloyd's of London when they authenticated it's age and tag. That's the source of my nonchalance.

    Edit: I will say their insurance policies are astounding in what they cover, but they are pricey.

  • Not exactly. There's a break in the chain of ownership, when it came to the new world in the late 1700s. We're not entirely certain how my great great great grandfather came into possession of it, but we believe that he either won it in a game of poker, or he possibly stole it during the commotion of the last quarter century of the 1700s.

    Thanks for the info on Magini. I just knew he made my violin, or more likely one of his apprentices. And that he and another dude in Florence are were simultaneously credited for inventing the thing independently of each other.

    Edit: there's a fuckton more info on the guy than I could find back in 1993 when I looked into him

  • Sadly, no. I was told by my cousins, who are professional violinists, that I had the ability, but they didn't inform me of that until I was already 25 and a chef.

    I inherited the thing because I found it in my grandma's closet when I was 6 and helping her clean her room. I asked her who owned it, and she said it was my dead grandpa's violin. So I asked again, then who's is it? She thought about it and said "I dunno, I guess whichever of you grandkids learns to play it first."
