AFAIK ex-presidents aren’t allowed to leave the country without specific permission, due to all the classified crap in their heads. If one tried to flee the country, it would be their detail’s duty to detain them.
Heck, they’re not even allowed to drive in public roads… not that Trump has probably ever driven a car.
I am retired and you’re describing me, other than the fact that you’d have to pay me to watch soccer. I watch bicycle racing instead. It’s a damn nice life.
I haven’t had it but my mom did. She experienced or remembered none of the actual cpr but the recovery from bruising and broken ribs was so painful that she signed a do not resuscitate order saying she would rather die than have cpr again.
When it comes to refried beans, “too many” or “too much” are both incorrect. The correct construction is “may I have some more please?”
As if I needed another reason to hate candles.
I think what you’re looking for is called “forced subtitles.” The bad news is, unless they were ripped with the video, they seem to be difficult or impossible to find after the fact. I’m sorry I don’t have anything more useful to say.
Usually just a small amount of food is enough, but your pharmacist should talk to you the first time you fill the prescription and tell you if more is necessary
Less and less as you get older
AFAIK there is no known energy source that would keep a generation ship powered for the duration of an interstellar flight.
The person to whom you responded is half right. The speed of light is half of the barrier to interstellar travel. Entropy is the other half.
This Bread I Break by Dylan Thomas
It’s a short, beautiful poem that laments man’s destructive relationship with nature.
I love the smell of bleach.
Absolutely hate the stench of coffee. About the only thing worse is coffee with vanilla in it. Disgusting.
You can sorta get close with MVNOs like Tello. I have a plan that’s $6.16/month, including taxes.
That’s kind of true for Amtrak everywhere except a few dedicated Acela lines in the east. The rest of their trains run on freight rail and freight trains get priority.
It depends on which line you take. Amtrak has different service levels on different routes. When I took the coast starlight from Seattle to San Jose it was wonderful, with clean cars, great food, and courteous service. When I took the southwest chief from LA to the middle of the country, it was a completely different experience. The porters were still friendly but the equipment was grungy and frequently broken and the food was about what you’d get at Denny’s. Bear in mind that both times I was in a ridiculously expensive first class cabin.
I’ve never taken the empire builder, which runs east-west across the northern part of the country, but I’ve read that it’s a “premier” service, so it should be on par with the coast starlight.

Inmate number is most appropriate
Yeah, that joke hit hard in my (red)neck of the woods because it was 100% true.
Reminds me of my Uncle Kieth’s house in the 1970s. He had a color TV but the sound didn’t work, so he put an old black & white portable TV on top of it for sound. When you wanted to change the channel, you had to get up and change them both.
Were these magic grits?
No, originally the first three digits designated where you lived when you requested your SSN. The middle two were also not sequential. The final four digits were the only purely sequential ones.
