Prisoners don't count. So, they're consistent.

@jon-nyc haha yup basically. He was the headline news because an employee (Chandra Levy) he had an affair with was missing (and found dead in a DC creek)…, then 9/11 happened.

@larry Ah, so you were basically just patting yourself on the back for being able to win an argument on this topic against someone who’d never heard of photosynthesis before... Very impressive, Larry!

@george-k said in Who killed Ashli Babbitt?: I keep asking, what is the policy for use of deadly force by the Capitol Police? No one seems to have an answer. “An officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer's own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury.”

The main message of Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron" concerns the importance of balancing equality with freedom and individualism. The story demonstrates how equality is not to be confused with "sameness" and warns of the disastrous effects of suppressing individuality. Maybe it's time to reread Vonnegut, all of it. He saw everything. Several doses of Vonnegut might make a nice replacement for crt

I got mine. Stopped taking the methotrexate a couple weeks beforehand. Now looking to see where I can get the spike protein antibody test.

@mik Elon Musks Starlink program might be a vehicle for this. I think SpaceX has put more than 600 satellites into low earth orbit.

@lufins-dad said in Busy beaver: I thought this was going to be another thread about @Aqua-Letifer s sister And I thought (well, hoped) this was going to be a thread about computability.

@catseye3 said in Your Race Insanity of the Day: @horace said in Your Race Insanity of the Day: I think you mean, depending on what the story teller looks like. No, I totally do NOT mean that. One assumes everybody is listening when telling such a story in the workplace. At that point, the only safety is in what one looks like.

@larry said in Richest Woman in the World: What a shame. She could have fed every hungry child in America for the next ten years with that money, but instead she chose to give it to wealthy arts organizations so they could all hobnob together at social events and tip their champagne glasses to her and talk about the "little people" that will benefit from next week's gallery of queer art. lol. Yep, pretty much. Ms Scott is in the business of becoming a pop culture darling. I wonder if she was invited to Obama's birthday party?

My wife's first cousin was an Army combat medic in 'Nam. Two purple hearts and a bronze star. He always said a corpsman serving with a Marine line unit may be one of the bravest or craziest people on the planet.

My favorite story along those lines was about a couple who had been engaged in a drinking and crystal meth-fueled sex session. The spread-eagled gal passed out on the bed after the last round. The guy went back to the kitchen, took another hit and spied a tube of super glue in the kitchen window sill. At the time, it seemed like a wonderful idea to be bonded to this woman forever. Superglue in hand, he heads back to the bedroom, where he drizzles it over her lady parts before driving home his point about forever love. For those who don't know, superglue on vaginal mucosa is a bit uncomfortable. More like, burns like hell. Well, as any woman would do when awakened from slumber by intense pain in her nether regions, she brought her legs together, gluing her labia shut. She got lucky, in that they were able to get things apart in the ED and not in the OR. The GYN consult still had to borrow a gallon of acetone from me after he ran out.. It took him a couple of hours to get things apart, with a nurse manning the squirt bottle. Really would have been a mess, if she hadn't woken up screaming...I'm not sure how they would have gotten them on a gurney, much less separated...
