I still haven't heard about any bills to help you middle class and poor Republicans.





 
Montgomery County Maryland public schools tried banning chocolate milk and kids began bringing little papers with Nestle's Quik in them.
They finally got wise and went back to letting us HAVE chocolate milk.
 
Chocolate milk made me throw up in the 1st grade. Haven’t been able to drink it since. Still, as petty as this may seem, these types of small things can mean a lot to kids. Championing chocolate milk is a legit position.

How old are you? 🤨

Old enough that I remember the Nixon-Kennedy debates and was able to figure out in my childish mind that they were arguing over who gets to be "prezzy-dint".
Hope that helps. 😆
I sometimes refer to myself as a "recovering analog dinosaur" because I came of age in the vacuum tube era but escaped extinction by learning to adapt to digital.
The very first professional television camera I owned used vacuum tubes for the imaging sensor...and it was NOT a camcorder. (note the monster VTR)

There's two things going-on here, though: Tubes/Solid-state, and Analog/Digital. Tubes were indeed used to do digital processing.

But yeah - after the move to "solid-state" semis, digital really took-off!

ENIAC was all tubes:

I already knew you’re an old fart. I was just teasing about “letting us have chocolate milk”. ;)

Ron Jeremy?

Other schools tried banning heroin for kids. But the kids just found street dealers instead, causing crime and gang problems. So the schools went back to letting them HAVE heroin.

My point? Just that there is a point to health experts trying to protect childrens' health, and if that means not having chocolate milk they like, there's more point than just 'the kids should get anything they want'. I'm not saying banning chocolate mailk is or isn't the right answer, just that there's more to the issue.

Oh, malarkey. Hand an elementary school kid a poppit toy for a few minutes and they'll forget all about their chocolate milk whining. The only kids that will keep up the complaints are the ones who hear their mom and dad ranting about chocolate milk riiiiights.

It was second grade! All us kiddies were gobsmacked that the school would not allow chocolate milk anymore! 😆
And I swear to you, it was like a drug deal, little folded up papers filled with just enough Nestle's Quik to shake up a little carton of milk and turn it chocolate.
I finally did it myself and then a week or two later, they announced that chocolate milk was allowed again.
 
Not the first time I've heard that comparison but unlike Ron (who I actually used to know) I am actually a decent person! 😆
You were #2,102 of his weren't you?:) I've never understood his popularity as a porn actor, the obvious qualities not justifying it, unless the idea was making the viewer feel if someone THAT repulsive gets to...

Uh uhhhh, I just liked chocolate milk!
I like regular milk too, but I liked chocolate milk.
It wasn't the end of the world, just a few kids grumbling about how stupid it was that chocolate milk wasn't allowed.

What is a 2102?
I worked for Bob Gallagher, first on a bunch of MTV hair band music videos and then later on a couple of low budget films like you'd see on late night cable.
He was one of Ron's best buddies but he had the good sense to die of brain cancer back in 2008, and he still owed me money.

Ron was always included somewhere in the MTV videos and usually had a comedy cameo in his films, maybe a minute of screen time tops but it always brought the house down.
As for his popularity in porn, back when he was younger I personally saw women "throwing themselves at him" but around the time he began to look more like Bob and less like his old self that began to go away, and I can only guess losing all that adoration screwed up his judgment.

Seeing the same thing happen to Trump! Now that people aren't adoring him by the millions in public, he's begun to truly and honestly LOSE HIS MARBLES, just like Ron Jeremy did.
