Yes, more births are great. Illegal entry to the country is not. Let them in, make them legal, give them a tax bill.

You should have seen the way the Amazon app rendered on my old Motorola MicroTac.

@LuFins-Dad ah, I read it differerently. “ “On Friday special agents from the United States Secret Service Chicago Field Office were investigating a threat made against a government official we protect. In the course of their investigation, agents first visited a residence in a local neighborhood and then made a visit to Hamline Elementary School.”

Seriously. I came here to write “fast food”, and realized how out of place the comment would be at this point.

@taiwan_girl I used to love going to the various open food markets in Russia and Central Asia. Each one was unique. My favourite though was the Georgian market in Moscow. The different cheeses were to die for; smoked suluguni was my favourite. It is available in North America in specialty shops although the flavour in the processed version is not the same as what was offered in local markets abroad.

@LuFins-Dad When Canada cut the penny, the rounding system cost Canadian consumers around $3.5 Million Dollars per year on groceries I don’t recall anyone raising that issue let alone complaining about it after the fact. People were just glad to be rid of the damn coppers. @jon-nyc Marketer prefer $3.99 to $4. In the hi-fi store everything was priced to the dollar. The owner’s argument was that given the nature of the equipment and if the client is serious, a penny is not going to affect their decision to purchase. His motto was “Hear it. Love it. Buy it.” Despite being a frugal Scot, he was not adverse to haggling either. In fact, he encouraged it when multiple component systems were under consideration.

Pass the barf bag.

That's saying something...

"No more aid" is a bit misleading.

@jon-nyc said in Targeting the Trans-Surgery Whistleblower.: My guess is if he sues for malicious prosecution, if the facts are bad enough In the original indictment, iirc, there was an allegation that he violated HIPAA laws. No evidence he did that, and those charges were subsequently dropped. I'd really love to see what he disclosed, and how he got access to it. If you're on the staff of a hospital, you have access to surgical schedules, etc. However, if you access the chart of a patient who is not under your care, that could spell problems.

D.C. is interesting...

Wow. I’m glad you survived that @NobodySock .

I understand not letting people into unsafe areas, but if it's safe, let them start clearing the debris.

Dulles’ grandfather, also a SecState, was a colonel during the war. While he didn’t fight for the Confederacy he did take Knoxville. That should count.
