One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

The Trump Fence
I pass this fence every day and every day it makes me laugh. The old fence blew down last Fall and the owner spent 2 weeks putting up the replacement.
I started thinking of it as the Trump Fence after Trump announced his plan to build a wall....his plans are always amazing, but execution not so much.

Re: The Trump Fence
And look at the top right horizontal cross piece. and the lengths of the boards above it.
2 weeks? Looks like he hacked it out in about 2 hours.
It was excruciatingly slow watching him build it. My guess is it was on purpose or he has serious spatial perception malfunctions.
An odd regional fence building convention is wooden fences and wooden posts in the ground or concrete. It rains a lot here in the Willamette Valley and fences and posts rot in just a few years even when they are painted.
I have only seen a couple wood fences that lasted a long time and those were large, (8x8) dense wood treated with creosote.
Now there are very dense recycled plastic fencing materials (that may last for centuries) that look like wood. Expensive, but you only have to build it once.

It is hysterical that when you want to make fun of conservatives, all you have to do is quote them
It's funny how hard it is to tell whether you are hearing a conservative or a Muslim when they talk about the people they dislike.

Re: Never Satisfied
how many people find that comic accurate and funny (in a sad kind of way)
Yes very sad. I despair for the country I grew up loving.

Yep. We live in comedian's dream world. No one could have predicted this.
