Re: P.E.T.
We were living in Henderson when the tower was built. We almost could see it from our house. It took over three years to complete. Many delays. There was a fire at the top when it was partially completed, like a big candle. They had to do a lot of testing to ensure that the structural steel and conc...

Re: Tom Brady roast on Netflix
Richard Pryor, one of the funniest comedians ever (IMHO) could get “blue” sometimes but didn’t need to. And he could get down and dirty without the language. George Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on TV was one of the funniest bits. Sure, it was for us. But for say, those under 30 these days? Ki...

Interesting, and very academic. On first glance I'm getting that there are many ways of looking at inflation and many components, and differences of opinion on how to conflate them.
