The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Evidence?

Google it.


OK. A bit about message board etiquette here. If you are making an assertion, it is not up to the reader to go find the evidence to support your argument. It's up to you, not me, and if you say airy or ridiculous things and end with 'If you don't believe me, look it up!' That's the tactic of the church and other pretenders. Don't do it.

And while I'm at it, your posts are sometimes a miasma of disjointed ramblings, and therefore difficult to read. (We all fall victim to it occasionally.) To avoid being ignored by me - and then everyone - one thing that would be helpful is if you would learn to use the HTML coding that can emphasize things, or segregate things (like quotations) or whatever. It's not hard.

You can produce italics by typing <i> to start and </i> to end. ('I' for Italics, get it?) You can also do the same with 'B' for bold by following the same convention: <b> to start and </b> to finish. This becomes even easier if you are on a tablet or have a macro app; I just use 3 i's in a row to 'start' italics or 3 b's to start bold, and 4 i's or 4 b's to 'end' using the iPad's 'keyboard substitution' ability. Since that combination of letters never comes up in ordinary writing, it's a real time saver. [Settings '> Keyboard -> Text Replacement].

Finally, brevity: People aren't here to read a book; in fact this post is already too long, so I'll stop. Ho ho ho. But expect more from Miss Manners Goofyhoofy if this keeps up. ;) You're welcome.
