Hmm... No. I am not quite there. I have about seven more years to wait. Either way, I still won't need it. It is quite probable that it is impossible for me to need it. I do not live miserly but I do not need to make any large expenditures and even a moderate amount of large expenditures are acceptable as interest is good and the tax rate is absurdly low on such. My big purchases these days are usually properties. I am surrounded by land that was owned and raped (has been replanted or grown back naturally) by the wood harvesters and paper companies of old. They put large chunks up for sale at very low rates (buying three acres is a lot different then buying 700) and I plan to leave the land to a charity with some caveats about the improved property and the use while also leaving a trust to ensure they can maintain and pay the taxes. At the end of this summer I hope to close on another chunk and then I will abut a State Park property. I think that will help.

I want the improved property to be used for either a library (not entirely logical however idealistic) or a residence for a licensed guide or a ranger. I want the access to remain public (I post it like people post no trespassing but instead I encourage people to visit with trespassers, hunters, or fishermen welcome) and I want to ensure that ATV/snowmobile use is still allowed/encouraged with stipulations that they are encouraged to remain on marked trails (old wood roads, often called tote roads around here) and that they take out everything they brought in. Camping, hunting, fishing, exploring are all encouraged now and that is why I bought the land in the first place - I wanted to ensure that there was a place for these things as so many folks buy the land and mark it with no trespassing signs. It is also a good investment should I change my mind.

I also don't want it named after me... I was lucky, 'there by the grace of God go I' is the adage though I am not a Christian or the likes, and do not deserve accolades. Instead I consider this repayment for my good fortune and a way to ensure I keep my karma levels topped off.

Sorry for the novella but this doesn't fit into a single paragraph very well.

USPS offers tracking. Your shipping back-end should capture this tracking number, write it to the order shipment table, and send e-mail to the customer. That way, calls about "where's my stuff?" can be handled with a script: "Log in to your account, open past orders, and click the Track button."

The fact that Safari has already grabbed it. Apple's Inter-App Communication page states: "The handlers for these schemes are fixed and cannot be changed. If your URL type includes a scheme that is identical to one defined by Apple, the Apple-provided app is launched instead of your app."

I chuckled. Yes, I really did. I do believe, obviously, that you are aware of the meme and that you took it as the sarcasm that it is. Good show with your reply too. We really need a sarcasm markup.

Classic Libertarians, no idea about Musk on this, do not mind taxes, paying for libraries or roads or even single payer health-care as they make things more efficient and less expensive (for example) and they do not mind government subsidies that are logical and not long-term. You are PERHAPS confusing them with the many Republicans who were ashamed of the moniker so they claim to be libertarian (note the small L in that) and they really are just Jebus worshiping neocons who co-opted the name of an otherwise sane group of people.

Then pay it, bitch. We are not going to hold back society for you to have an advantage for your crotchfruit. Society does not work that way.

It is hard to accept the validity of the arguments proffered by a person who is wallowing around in their own dung.

This is the US. We'd make them illegal, not teach Jebus and evolution, and ship the detractors off to FEMA camps, dontchaknow? This is common knowledge.

Actually, my understanding is that it is still lit because it is not bumped nor does it ever lose power.

I went to a private school (Kent's Hill if you are curious) and we used to bring our firearms from home and have them on campus - in our own dorm rooms AND unlocked. How the hell else were we supposed to skip and go deer hunting? At a public school we brought our guns to school and often had comparison notes with the principal or interested teachers. Hell, I belonged to the Rifle Team for the last four years of school. That, and heritage, got me to join the Marines (twice 'cause I am an idiot) and make love to that sweet GI Bill to pay for school. That education is why I am retired/retarded today. Guns, they are good for education and business.business. Today, YMMV...

Hey now, I am retired and I don't even take (I think I am old enough now - I have not looked to be honest) the Social Security that I paid in. I don't need it. I have plenty. They can keep their ransom money. They can spend it on someone else seeing as I paid a LOT in.

Nice try. There are no girls on the internet. I believe the colloquialism is TRAP.

I can understand distorted thinking and it is an unfortunate (or maybe not) human trait. I have tried so hard to be logical in my dealings that I don't get attached and fear I have missed out on many warm experiences because of this. Yet, when I think back, I have been highly illogical. It is quite a dilemma. The pragmatism, stoic even, traits of my belief system do not help, I am a Buddhist which does not help much.

I understand your point but am not going to write a book. I am happily retired. I merely pointed out the oft spoken words that I see here.

I have been reading and learning about a thorium reactor. It seems to be a brilliant idea, unfortunately there are many who do not realize that all radiation is not equal. Then they go out in the natural sun and have a long picnic...
