Good idea, since it's supposed to snow here tomorrow - just got back from my Schnucks run.
Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Same here. Just need to go the the store, so I can avoid crowds and bad weather tomorrow.
Will be going to Schnucks off of 55 and Loughborough (live a few blocks away from there). I usually go to this one or the one at Hampton Village. I avoid going to the one on Grand Blvd near Gravois.
I miss Shop N Save in STL.
I wish we had a new Star Trek series on a major broadcast TV network.
Every family has its problems. That's what teaches tolerance.
One way or another, we have to just be ourselves.
The height of civilization should be truthful and unbiased worldwide news. Unfortunately, we haven't had that since Walter Winchell
I've seen kids create stranger songs than that. For myself, at six years old, I drew my concept of a fart. My mother found it while on the phone and it took her fifteen minutes to stop laughing long enough to explain what was so funny to her friend on the phone.
I have seen many pass away. I adjust well for those who are elderly, but it takes me much longer for those who are young, especially children. They lose decades of life to share with others.
And a great many work very hard to become arseholes!
Actually, I always thought they had to have a magical wizard's satchel so small that it was easily hidden in the uniform trim, but they could access anything they put in it whenever they wanted.It's about priority. Pockets are maybe the most utilitarian aspect to apparel, besides covering you. Much of women's clothing is utilitarian, but more than not, their fashion begins with esthetics. How utilitarian it is, comes after (If ever) Wearing a healed shoe, for example, doesn't even really seem all that healthy for the human foot, let alone as utilitarian as a sneaker. Men's apparel is more prone to launch off its utility 1st. (We seem oblivious to esthetics on some shit lol)
That less heed is paid to utility is just a reflection of that, & the related factor of said group also having a fashion trend of carrying purses, that compensates for pocket absence. It's just my opinion, but there's nothing wrong with a group prioritizing looking good, whether for themselves or others, nor is there anything wrong with the fashion industry reflecting the trend.
As such, I never minded the Starfleet no pockets style. It's what they like. Heck, what do they really need to carry anyhow? If I were designing their fashion, I might go with that more, & instead of just their phaser belts, they could have wristwear, like tricorder wrist gear, & maybe another wristband for remote beamouts, or remote shuttle control... & more features in their adornments, similar to the combadge... like a rank insignia techno pin that doubles as a bodycam
They get off on their gadgets. They're stylish, man. They got verve, yo. They're Starfleet
Reasonable people agree with you, but those like you are hard to find because super-egos of the "racist assholes" don't allow them to shut up and listen to reasonable people.
It's going to get cold tonight. Really cold. And possibly windy. Glad I have a nice sweater.
Hi @Stephen James Wolfer , and welcome to the board.
I know it can take a bit to get used to the way things work in a new place. So I just wanted to mention to you that we generally frown upon someone posting more than twice in a row in a thread. In a situation like this where you want to respond to many different posts at the same time, we have a multi-quote feature that we ask you to use instead. At the bottom right of any post you want to respond to, just click the “+Quote”. This will add all the posts to your multi-quote, and then when you have them all, click “insert quotes” at the bottom of the reply window to bring them into the editor.
Also, just to let you know, some of the posts you replied to are quite old, and not all of the people you responded to are still here.
If you haven’t already, I would recommend looking over our board rules to give you a sense of how we operate here.
Again, welcome to the board, and I hope you enjoy it here!
All of which one might summarise as:
I've never heard of him in the UK, so perhaps he wasn't as ubiquitous as one might hope. In addition, truthful and unbiased news is probably impossible given the nature of logic (which flavour?), language (which one?) and humankind (one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter).
This was an awesome marketing stunt from the 80s. I kind of twigged before the video had ended revealing the conclusion but the way he narrated it you could have had a punt this was some kind of hallucination and not a clever stunt.
