Can’t wait when Biden says honestly I would never lie to you and say I hire the best people.

Q for the medicos, or anyone else who knows. How possible is it to get a whole body X-ray like this? Would any X-ray department have the capacity? And if you know, how many millions would it cost to have it done? TIA.

@Renauda said in How's the culture war going to play out?: @Jolly Trump governs according to his reactive impulses of the moment. Nothing centrist, left or right about him. Study to show thyself approved. Look at Trump's statements and political leanings before the presidential campaign, and look at what he has tried to do while in office.

@George-K said in I am metal: @Loki said in I am metal: Ok Aqua you went there with Malcolm and Revisionist History. Here is your consequence... That was brilliant, about 3 minutes too long, but still brilliant. How, where, and why did you find that? Malcom Gladwell discussed Pat Boone on a Revisionist History Podcast with David Hill (comedian) who is the father of the most Metal band name. Witch Taint.
