1. its the random thread
2. Qanon has minted a coin
3. They will not accept returns, but they will buy it back

Randomness and irony

'return' implies that your refund is the same amount that you paid for it (albeit with sometimes like a 10% 'restocking' fee)

'buy back' means they'll make you an offer of a buyback, probably somewhat related to the current price of silver at the time (but almost certainly way less than you paid).

What exactly is qanon? I've heard of the qanon conspiracy, but how does a conspiracy theory mint a coin? And what kind of doofus would buy such a thing? You can easily buy physical silver, or you can trade it as a commodity. (Is it in fact silver or is it crypto? An ounce of silver isn't really much--about 15 bucks.

Apparently he's been hosting a bear in his attic for the past year that has been feasting on birds. Until recently.

Add andouille to the list of words I've been mispronouncing all my life.


Heh, I like that spellcheck thinks I mean the much more common Debouillet. Though I'd probably get that wrong too.

Add andouille to the list of words I never knew existed until today

The Bear apparently hit with a tranquilizer dart in upper Roxborough, but is still on the loose. He's almost here! What should I feed him??

a pic-a-nic basket, I presume.

Lotta big who Ha about nonalcoholic cocktails. They were talking about producing a spirit and then removing the alcohol. Just remember if you’re going to go that route and you get the vodka, it’s just a bottle of water.

The newscasters are the best. The reporting said that the mock tales cost the same as a regular cocktail, and the costars hemming and hawing, and then drops the “12 bucks for a Shirley temple, come on”.

My kids report cards make no sense, is this just our school district or did they get just totally get rid of the A-F grades? My kids school uses:

Standards Scale
M = Modified Expectations E = Exceeding Expectations 3 = Achieved Expectations
2 = Approaching Expectation 1 = Below Expectations

Math
M = Modified Expectations
E = Exceeding Expectations
3, 3+ = Achieved Expectations 2, 2+ = Approaching Expectation 1 = Below Expectations

Qualities of a Learner
C = Consistently O = Occasionally R = Rarely
* = Not Instructed

My county does not even alert parents that there is a report card. It is all electronic, but the notifications are broken. The grades trickle in over time, and, of course, some teacher get behind and just update at the end. I was haunting my younger son about his French grade which was locked at a D for Q4, until it became a B+ 2 days after school ended. It creates extra animosity, compounded by the teen years.

So...is M good?

so a grade can be an e-2-o? that's awesome.

We had these on line grades and we could check progress, dependent of course on the teachwr doing the grading. But I lost the password sometime aroind 10th grade. Lil vulture kept me updated though.
