False flagging to propagate a narrative? Say it ain't so. Only conspiracy theorists believe such things might occur.

@George-K Does not surprise me. In fact in ‘93 when I posted into Western Siberia for work, my landlord, a highly educated retired geologist, advised that I boil the tap water before drinking or cooking not because of the usual bacterial contamination, but rather possible radioactivity from the nearest nuclear station some 400 km east of where I was to live. When I pointed out that boiling the water would do nothing other than produce radioactive steam in the air if the water were contaminated, he gave me an incredulous look and said that “Russian radiation is different from foreign radiation and that has been scientifically proven that boiling the water will destroy all the radioactive elements.” He then went on to say that in event I do inadvertently drink unboiled tap water I should asap drink a glass of warm vodka mixed with some herb available at all the local pharmacies as an antidote. So no, I’m not at all surprised at this more recent story. Am sure the Russian soldiers had plenty of radiation antidote on hand while they pillaged .

No need for workplace compensation conversations when you can just pull up in your Maserati. Or better yet, just tell everybody that you're rich.

@jon-nyc a deeper truth than we were allowed to entertain in architecture school.

@George-K said in Well, crap...: I hate trauma. Just hate it. True story... The hospital I retired from was known for trauma care. Even though it was only a 185-bedder, practice makes perfect and we got lots of practice. MVA's, stabbings and GSW's were kinda ho-hum, just another day at the ranch, especially on the weekends. Maybe it was because back in those days, we were the teaching hospital for this part of the state, so we always had docs either in the building or over in the doctor's quarters. You could get your hands on whatever service you needed in just minutes. Some guys love that kind of stuff. It's like racehorses at the starting gate. I got my fill of it real early one night when I was stuck in the blood bank. 22, fresh out of school, with the ink not dry on my license and I'm working my first evening shift after my two week employee orientation. Dude presents to the ED with multiple shrapnel wounds and burns over much of his body. He had been drinking and thought it would be a good idea to light a wood-burning heater with gasoline. Heater blew up. Everybody gets into the act as the ambulance pulls in... docs, nurses, lab rats, x-raiders and the snot suckers. All hands on deck and the waltz begins as everybody does their job. Fifty. Six. Units. That shift, on that patient. Don't even remember how much FFP, platelets and cryo I set up and issued. Would you believe it, that sucker made it? For almost a month, after which he came down with a heckuva infection and had the audacity to die on us.

Why doesn't the Texas Aggie football team drink ice water? The guy who had the recipe, graduated.

@jon-nyc Canada, eh?

@Horace Nah, there are alternatives that have nothing to do with Face ID.

@George-K said in BoJo visits: Can you imagine the security for something like that? I imagine Mr. Trump called the Kremlin and requested BoJo's safe passage. No big deal.

Yes, great for the compost.

@LuFins-Dad what? Rick is gone?

That is great news for many men out there.

Being a backup QB he probably didn't have his helmet on.

@jon-nyc said in Election in France: Normally it wouldn’t bother me that much but in the midst of Russia/Ukraine it would be very unfortunate. Same with me as well. But either way France will be the first to surrender and LePen is prepared to form the new Vichy regime.

Never understood that Continuum is a very fine album
