For some reason I seem to have to put in the password two times before it "takes" and I can login.

Anyone else having this issue?

I wonder if this link works for others, our secret hideout in the boundary waters.


No, it's not a painting or enhanced or anything else. It's a real place.   )

Belongs to a close friend but I helped build it (In 1987) so I seem to keep getting invited back.  )

CCP graciously sidebarred asking about my mom.

I am quite glad to report that the procedure went well.   The heart valve (from a pig!) was sent up an artery from an incision in her leg.   FAR less intrustive than the previous way of doing things!   Indeed, she was home the next day!

As for me, due to complications from Tropical Storm Debby I am still in the NY area and will be flying home tomorrow.

Good to hear Marc!

I'm on the road dealing with my dad's estate so will likely be posting on a limited basis for a bit.

Linking Topics, Fire Hydrant post
« Reply #609 on: August 26, 2024, 02:35:01 PM »
Crafty, you had a really good question about what to call a new topic that was crossing at least two existing topics.  Deep state issues crossing connecting into the Big Tech world to control information and thus control who wins elections, and basically run the country from there (already happening) with actual politicians coming and going but not in control of the agenda (or something like that).

I don't know the answer, just wanted to point out that topics crossing each other happen very often.  Drawing the connections and recognizing the patterns is important, crucial.  Example would be the scientific fiasco of Covid and Covid vaccine and the (political, biased, erroneous) way 'science' has handled climate change.  They are linked.  One wrote the script for the other.  Couldn't have happened without a pattern already set up, IMHO.

Here is another:  "How open borders immigration causes housing prices to rise"
https://winteryknight.com/2024/08/26/how-open-borders-immigration-causes-housing-prices-to-rise/

Could say, causes the entire spectrum price level to rise, and then 3 topics at least are linked.

Yes, we can just post it in both topics, but the link IS the story.

There was a local radio show that did that, basically made a game out of finding and recognizing the links between seemingly unrelated topics.  For example, why are pro-abortion people nearly all in favor of higher taxes, bigger government.  They would seem to be unrelated topics.  If you can find the link, you've found some much deeper insight than the issue itself.

No easy answer for this because no one wants endless, overlapping and more confusing thread choices.
