    @George-K said in Kirsten Gillebrand Complains About the National Archivist: @jon-nyc said in Kirsten Gillebrand Complains About the National Archivist: Illinois was the 37th state to ratify it, in 2018. You didn't vote for it but the state house and senate did. Yeah...but at least 6 states voted to rescind the ratification - so it failed. Nevertheless, it's never been ratified. What's Gillebrand's issue? 36 years after the amendment nomination had expired.

    Too many colors. It needs one color representing fat.

    Ok, I watched it. You could do this with tenderloin, but cook the whole piece. Medallions do not work as well imo. Also remember you will have to cook it on all four sides, not just two. Not sure the cold start really helps all that much, plus you should not use high heat on a nonstick pan.

    Foxx announced she would not be seeking a third term and was replaced by retired judge Eileen O’Neill Burke. “Burke was not sworn in until December 2. Foxx was certainly told by the MCLE Board and ARDC that her law license would lapse on December 1, but she still allowed [prosecutors] to file pleadings in court under her name on December 1,” the veteran lawyer contended. Lock her up.

    @Jolly said in Midwives fired: If it's more than one hospital, the insurance stuff is probably true. The problem with some midwives is that they don't know what they don't know. I've read, and posted, several stories of home births gone wrong when the midwife was up to her elbows in meconium before calling for help. THere are reason that OB has among the highest malpractice premiums. Among them is the fact that for childbirth injuries, there's no real statute of limitations- so the parent of a 15 year old can sue, claiming birth injury because junior didn't get into Harvard. There's no reason a midwife should be practicing solo without the backup of an obstetrician ON SITE. We had one guy who would offer backup to a midwife - but from home (he was 10 min away). He eventually gave that up, and the midwife left. Ask yourself, if you were the insurer, would you insure a midwife for a $5,000 premium? Potential payouts can go to millions. I wouldn't. By the way, all four of my kids were born at that hospital. Delivered by a real OB.

    The electric vehicle thing is just a handy political shiny bauble to dangle, it's obviously a much more fundamental problem. Alternatively, maybe Trump could award the contract for them to Elon and ask for a big discount?
