    Don’t be negative or I’ll start making jokes about that other great Doctor Who lookalike and American icon, Tucker ‘bow ties are cool’ Carlson.

    @taiwan_girl said in Transgender kids - by the numbers: it seems like the issue gets so much more publicity than the reality calls for Note these statistics are two years old, and they show a rise in numbers every year. I have no reason to doubt that those numbers have increased in the last two years. With places like Boston Children's, Cleveland Clinic, and Northwestern having established "gender care," you can bet they have. THere's money to be made, after all. 25,000 dog bites? Perhaps they should get more attention. But, those are not actively promoted in the media and encouraged by group-think parents.They're caused by animals, BIRM.

    I think that's a one-off. Two of these, pieces together: Link to video

    @Axtremus said in Vrbo or AirBnB in Japan?: Also booked one night to stay at a "capsule hotel" just because I want to experience it. The capsule hotel's booking website is very Japanese (e.g., it expects the phone number to conform to Japanese phone number format, it requires that you provide a hiragana version of your name, it insists on a 7-digit Japanese zip code, etc.). So even though I slogged through the reservation website and got email confirmation for my reservation, there is still a chance that I may arrive to find that reservation invalid when I get there and I may to scramble to find lodging then. Stayed in them a couple of times, the last time in December. Fun to stay in, but if you end up trying to stay more than one night, most of the places will require you to leave between say 11 am - 4 pm so that they can clean them, etc.

    Then I guess we have to agree to disagree. After all, what you call a revolution, I consider a colonial revolt.

    In further detail, 80% of the cost is fruit and 15% of the cost is tissues.

    I doubt that these are really "children's" books. At Amazon they're listed as "rejected children's books." Struck me a a (poor) gag.

    Yeah, but presumably the sole purpose of the purpose of the flight was to verify compliance. They should not be able to use any information gleaned from it.

    @Horace said in Mr. Beast: what sort of content provider rises to the top of the subscriber numbers. Taryl Fixes All This guy is awesome - he has videos showing how to fix all kinds of small engine problems. I have used several of them. And provides an ongoing series of storylines showing the happenings at the Grass Rats Garage. And there's your dinner. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=taryl

    Pence will face no charges Multiple sources told Fox News that the Justice Department has closed the investigation into Pence’s possession of classified documents at his residence in Indiana. The Justice Department sent a letter to Pence attorneys this week that said the FBI and DOJ have completed the investigation no criminal charges will be brought against the former vice president. Pence told the National Archives on Jan. 18 about a small number of potentially classified documents found in two boxes. Another two boxes contained copies of vice presidential papers, and all of them were immediately put into a safe, according to the Pence team.

    According to the site, Mars is 300,000,000 kilometers away... The image isn't "live." It's what it looked like 16 minutes ago. But cool link, regardless.
