    I think you are right, Lufin. Watched the trailer and I do want to see it.

    @taiwan_girl said in Deprogrammed: @Jolly Zero. I was making a joke and assuming that it must be a conservative organization. Prager is conservative, but look at a few of his Prager U videos. Several of those are what I would consider coming from a moderate position, not hard conservative.

    Here is another one where someone was hit with a piece of equipment from 300 yards away and killed. Standing in a restaurant parking lot. The reason I know this instance is that it happened at a tollway Oasis that I have been to before. In northwest Belvidere IL. I am thinking that maybe @George-K and @mark may have been there before also. :eek https://www.csb.gov/ndk-crystal-inc-explosion-with-offsite-fatality-/

    I can see both sides of the issue. If it is a routine question easily and quickly answered, no charge. If it requires any sort of medical effort or research, then I could see a nominal charge. But the answer there could just be make an appointment. For instance, MFR just got a prescription for a drug where she is contraindicated by another condition. There shouldn't be any charge for that question. It's a clarification of an order. As a relatively frequent user of MyChart to communicate with my docs' offices, I really don't want to see a charge. And George is right - 95% of the time the SP or PA answers the question.

    Apparently it's from a David Sedaris book. But this detective munged it up into a verbal uncanny valley and I love it. The original is more comprehensible, but not so bad that it's good. “If you're looking for sympathy you'll find it between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.” ― David Sedaris, Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays

    @Mik said in What terms should be imposed on a defeated Russia?: We can demand all we want. They will tell us to pound sand and we won’t invade Russia to enforce it. True. Any reparations would come from Russian assets custodied abroad.

    It’s worth noting that a significant proportion of Cambridge students come from British Public Schools i.e very posh private schools. Those places have long had a bit of a reputation….

    @taiwan_girl gambling helps redistribute wealth from poor people to rich people. And we all know much rich people love helping poor people, so really it’s a great way to help poor people.
