It took 14 paragraphs to say the forbidden words.

They said extremist Islamist in the 4th paragraph. Terrorist can mean things other than Islamic.

it was never hot enough

I have my first cup while driving (about 1 minute) to the golf course. I gulp it down, so not hot enough is good.

The left thinks minorities are so psychologically weak. I'm happy to be a conservative non-racist. I just wish I could teach lefties how not to be racist. Unfortunately they do not seem educable on the topic.

California and Illinois are losing population while Texas and Florida are gaining population.

Mr. Lutchman appears to be of color.

I think we can all see the problem.

BTW, apparently Kaleb has become a bit of a star in Great Britain...

Could you all answer the same at ages 20 to 40?

Very much not at 20. I had high hopes for landing in a promising work life, but poor planning. By 40 those hopes had shrunk somewhat but not altogether. And so it went. I needed to think differently and know more than I did, and things just didn't work out.

Life finds a way.

Idiot. Woke idiot.

You are rather quick with your judgement. There’s no indication this has something to do with “woke”. Maybe she’s simply a nice person.

Again, woke idiot.

Yeah, I saw that.

The clock (for lack of a better word) typically starts running at the time an injury is suffered. But that's not always the case. It technically doesn't start until the "accrual of claims," which could be the point at which the injury (or its cause) is discovered. The so-called "discovery rule" allows a suit to be filed within a certain time after the injury is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.

So, the "injury" has been ongoing for a while, however, the cause of the injury was discovered only 2 years ago.

@mik said in Homo longi:

I was not aware that our origins were so murky.

And, on the timescale of life on the planet, we are insignificant.

150K years?

C'mon, man!

And only about 10 thousand in North America.

We live in a heavily populated world, and not by us.

Nah, I ain't buying it...

Reality without perception is illogical.

I saw some video of them from sometime in the 2010's decade. They were all wearing sneakers and had maybe lost a step, but still a fine, fine band.

It's mostly original.
