a friend just texted me and referred to manchin and his constituents as "inbred sister fuckers"

DDD, care to comment?
 
Recent research has shown that empirical evidence for globalization of corporate innovation is very limited and as a corollary the market for technologies is shrinking. As a world leader, it's important for America to provide systematic research grants for our scientists. I believe strongly there will always be a need for us to have a well-articulated innovation policy with emphasis on human resource development.
 
where are we going to get non entitled non drug addicted folks to manufacture all these micro chips? I think I'd rather just trust the asians.

Some of this is spot on, but a lot of "investors" aren't old fashioned rich folks trying to get in on the ground floor of a cool new product, they're hedge funds or venture capital or wealth management on the fringe, at least a layer removed. And theoretically they should be properly evaluating business plans and go to market strategies and like, buying out smaller firms and stuff to clear the path. Though if your broader point is that the wealth is being squandered, I certainly agree.

Yeah. That’s my point. Hedge funds, VC, etc are a vehicle for that wealth. Just seems like the economy is a huge casino.
 
I’d complain about the financialization of the economy but then I’d really worry about stepping on CT toes

What is a Philly Pretzel?

thicker, doughier and more elongated, a true delight to those who have never experienced one.

Thicker, doughier, and more elongated than your traditional soft pretzel—the ones limited to baseball-stadium concession stands, movie theaters, and food carts in most other cities—this beloved staple can be found at pretty much every corner store, local sporting event, and cafeteria in the greater Philadelphia area. They’re sold in elementary schools and high schools during lunch, by vendors stationed throughout Center City, and at Wawa convenience stores. Volunteer firefighters hawk them at stoplights to raise funds for their departments, and local businesses buy them in bulk as employee treats. Even regional Walmarts sell them. And, of course, there are the dedicated, stand-alone pretzel bakeries that have been baking them fresh, first thing in the morning, for decades (often along with variations, such as pretzel rolls and braids). The Philly pretzel is a sight as familiar to the Philadelphian as The Franklin Institute Science Museum or the Delaware River.

Surely Townie must have an opinion on this subject
 
Just going off the title of the thread, but this is my all-time favorite episode of Seinfeld...and it's such a random one. But these two scenes floor me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

(EDIT: They're from the same episode and youtube video, and are at 1:50 and 3:40, I tried to paste the links to the precise time in the video, not sure if it's going to work...if it doesn't, then just watch at 1:50 and at 3:40)

 
I grilled some chicken and apple brats tonight and my wife made a pretty kickass avocado slaw to put on them. Solid dogs.

That’s sounds quite good.

I had a salad, which while tasty was not what I wanted.
