@jolly I’ve never collected blood from a donor. That would’ve been a satisfying job I imagine. I’m trying to remember, but could there have been a time where I stripped chest tubes into glass bottles or drained stuff coming from a chylothorax ?? lol, I seem to remember tripping or kicking over a big bottle on a floor once (and getting laughed at).

Well, if you apply the Colbert standard for missing children, you would be a cancer monster if you don't. Dairy aisle my ass. It's the whole cow farm!

@Horace said in Another Woodward Book: It's my understanding that whatever the Kremlin wants America to believe, is swallowed exclusively by useful idiots. On both sides of the political aisle no less. As Horace said, it's political gossip. From the other coffee and donut shop down the street.

@Horace said in Sorry we told you you failed the board exam: I don't accept excuses for failure. Don't come to me with whining about how the testing authority made a clerical error. There is no "try". There is only winning. Period. Damn straight. There is no Jan. 6 about this.

The students could always drop out. Stop paying into this corrupt, genocidal system. I kid, I kid. Their universe of possibilities extends only until they make any personal sacrifice whatsoever.

@George-K said in Small Business Administration also running out of money: Where'd da money go? Liberians in Charleroi.

@Horace said in Mail fraud: I'm not clear how those checks are ultimately cashed. Seems like it is automated quite a bit, so no person ever checks the signature or makes sure that the signer is the actual person listed. I know you can also take a picture of a check to deposit it, but am not sure exactly how that works.

Maybe it did have business support, not all businesses. Still, if be lied I guess the score is 30,573 to 6.

Wonder what the dry cleaner has to say about it.

That is cool.

I think that proposal has about a zero chance of happening. The odds of Democrats having President, Representatives, and Senators is about zero% also. I think that @George-K pointed out one time that having different parties among the three areas is usually the best way to govern, as it forces some compromise and things more to the center.

I would like to see this type of analysis applied backward. One data point, which seems quite frightening maybe isnt so when looked back in history. For example, back in 2010, what was the different between the official unemployment rate and the rate calculated by rasumssen? Maybe the rasmussen is always X% above the official rate. To me, using the same baseline to compare is important and doing it consistent, not just one time.

In the very best of hands...

@Doctor-Phibes said in Is there anything that Trump can't do?: @Aqua-Letifer said in Is there anything that Trump can't do?: @Doctor-Phibes said in Is there anything that Trump can't do?: STFU when he realises he has absolutely no idea of what he's talking about? With Harris that's all the time, though. Ah, an obligatory whattaboutism deflection! Except it's not, because I'm willing to admit that Trump's a fucking asshole and a liar. As a matter of fact I can't think of anything more stupid, pointless and juvenile than to talk about any of these people as if they mean anything important.

It's an Office Space reference. Milton burns down the building because somebody took his stapler.

@Axtremus said in We Are in Need of Renaissance People: The article lacks analytical rigor. The author should support his claims with statistically significant data rather than mere arguments based on a few exemplars. That's not an issue where statistics is applicable. Sometimes an analytical argument is the best you can get.
