Shaking my head. I know a person who is opposed to our socialist, tyrannical (which

[niyad]

she cannot pronounce properly), dictatorial, intrusive government. She is angry about all the government censorship of the internet. She is excited that, in a very few days, elon musk's starlink/odin will be operational, run by our military, and completely hackproof, and completely uncensored.

Oh, thank goodness, it is after noon.

1. Shake your head, then make her a wager

Might as well monetize her gullibility until she wises up, if ever.

5. I think about that. But there will always be some excuse, some reason for the delay.

12. Have her write it down, in her own words, then sign it

You don't need to collect, just pull it out from time to time: "Remember when you said . . . ?"

2. I have, at times, found it necessary to switch time zones on my clocks...

you know...just to make it "after noon".

It's always after noon somewhere.

3. 😁

4. You are quite correct. I may have to do that myself.

And then, of course, there is the bromide about drinking alone. I just point to my tea towel, which reads, "you are not drinking alone if your cat is home."

8. That's no problem for me! "The Voices" always let me know I'm not alone!

[niyad]

9. That is very thoughtful of them.

6. So, the RW think Musk is setting up his satellite internet system for them?

[niyad]

7. Apparently. And it will be run by the military (ours, presumably) so that it cannot be

hacked (solarwind, anyone?) or censored. The disconnect is mind boggling.

10. It's good to remember that it's always "after noon" somewhere! ;O) nt

[niyad]

11. True.
