    We are all experts concerning how telomeres work.

    Fix the telomeres and the broken DNA and everyone lives for a thousand years.

    Simple.

    Next, we'll slow down or eliminate telomeres altogether. No more trouble makers.

    And everyone lives for a million years.

    Then comes the next challenge.

    We'll fix it.

    It's a government lunch

    It has to be a lunch that offends nobody.

    Made by a diverse group

    And, of course, ends up being almost useless to everyone

    @horace said in Sandwiches for air fryer:

    I love my air fryer and use it almost every day. The microwave was in many ways a culinary crime of technology, but air fryers are ok by me.

    Yeah, I'm really big on the air fryer - and we have a cheap one. I used to grill a lot. Now, it is air fryer. I use it at least once and most often, twice a day. I made teriyaki chicken last night along with egg rolls. I love reheating things in it as well - does a great job.

    I just saw a story that the 29th Democrat is not seeking re-election this year.

    But, how many of those seats are safely Democrat, regardless of who runs? If my congresscritter, Jesus Garcia, didn't run, I have no fantasy that he would be replaced by a GOP candidate.

    I’m going for it…

    Perrin… Married? WTF? And she dies in the first episode? There can be no possible way for them to bring that character to where he’s supposed to go from there. And no axe? Now in the second episode, Mat gives him a knife that was crafted by Perrin’s wife and a long and expository talk about balancing it’s use as a tool and as a weapon…

    Matrim… In the books he grew from being one of my least favorite character’s to being my favorite. The whole thing about his protectiveness towards his sisters and the issues with the parents? No frigging way. Sorry, but I don’t see where and how they go anywhere with him.

    And everyone is frigging unlikeable.

    From what I've seen, the characters really aren't the same people they were in the books, and it was the characters that made the books worth reading. The actual plot is pretty silly.

    Sorry to hear about your neighbor and glad that you were good neighbors…

    Out of curiosity, are any of Lucky and Oreo’s pups still in the family?

    Oh, and about neighbors...Jerry's wife's family and my family have been neighbors for at least 120 years. Don't see that, except on the rural route...

    @89th said in &%#^*@$ Loudoun County!:

    direct ties to those who were discriminated against.

    A lot of them probably have ancestors who did the discriminating.

    Wait until they find out that they are getting an invoice, not a check.

    I don't think it does. When another variant comes around it will have to be revisited which may waste precious time.

    You sir, are right.
