Maybe the foot dragging narrative is more political than real. I haven’t looked deeply into it, but it keeps getting anecdotally debunked by GOP officials in the affected states.

Seems believable given this: How many people are on glp-1 inhibitors in the USA As of 2024, around 12% of U.S. adults have used GLP-1 inhibitors like Ozempic or Wegovy, and approximately 6% are currently using them. These drugs are commonly prescribed for conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity, with a growing number of people using them for weight loss alone. The use of GLP-1 drugs has surged in recent years due to their effectiveness in both blood sugar control and weight management.

@taiwan_girl said in The latest life destroyed by Trump’s fragile ego: @Horace Sorry I misinterpreted your point. Glad we are in agreement. I forgive you, TG. It's the latest gaslit misinterpretation caused by the fragile egos of TDS sufferers. It breaks my heart, but I find that forgiveness helps the healing process. Not only for you, but for me as well. Forgiveness is also for the forgiver. I think we've all learned a valuable lesson here today.

At least many people in the industry heard of Theranos well before it imploded.

Yeah he's done what... maybe 15 or 20 movies? From those he has 6 oscar nominations and 3 best actor wins. That's incredible.

Oh, I doubt Cao can unseat Kaine. That would be an even bigger upset than Trump winning VA, IMO. Kaine will outperform Harris in VA.

Yep. Ordered mine a few days ago.

‘Quietly’. Oooooooooooooouuuuuu. It’s a mystery…..

You want government agencies to follow the law or do you want government agencies to not follow the law?

@Jolly , you should incorporate some deep state conspiracy theories, like Harris as the seating VP getting access to super advanced wireless ear pieces from spy agencies not available to Trump or anyone else.

Space is hard.

Resistance is futile. Pollen rides the wind currents and goes where it will. Very few strains of corn have no modified genes. And...Just in the last couple of hundred years...Golden Bantam is one of the very few heritage sweet corn plants. It came along in the late 1800's and popularity really took off early in the 1900's when you could start to buy it commercially. Until then, yellow corn was for horse feed, people usually ate white corn, mostly as corn meal, roasting ears, grits or hominy. But, Golden Bantam is a cross between even older yellow sweet varieties. Now, having said all that, how many of you have ever grown Golden Bantam? It has a really good taste, sweet, but with a lot of "corn" flavor. And as far as I'm concerned, the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I can plant a good hybrid...Maybe an old one like Merit or Funk's G90, or a newer one like Peaches&Cream. It will make twice the ears, be sweeter and have a longer window of sweetness to pick it in. GB makes small ears and you better watch it like a hawk or you'll miss the best flavor window. GB works best for the backyard gardener who wants enough corn to eat fresh and put up a few ears, while keeping costs down by saving seeds. I'd rather pay $20, plant four rows and make 400 or 500 ears.

They tell me to allow for untrusted shortcuts but I don’t see that option [image: 1727998499062-5a8c2c11-d587-4e5c-a6a8-3a5e0ad56f33-image.png] [image: 1727998544374-61eeba42-8296-4717-af42-758822bf1266-image.png]

Can't we be content just with missiles that facilitate biodegradation?

@Horace there is that I suppose. Might be colored by your status as a former Californian.
