    I have an 11 month old peer. Time to change his diaper. I don’t understand why you guys want him to read scientific and medical papers, though.

    They suffer.

    I'm not that far south, but we still had a good many blown in, augmenting what we had. I was working on the tractor earlier in the week and picked up about a dozen bites on my back in an hour.

    The actual problem is the breakdown of the family within historically oppressed communities. I’m glad we have reached this agreement that Trump is the best option. Thank you for the fruitful discussion.

    Personally, I think Trump is part of the problem. Americans wanted a reaction against all the nicey-nicey guilt-tripping Obama-esque PC bullshit, so they elected a complete douchebag to represent them. Extreme behaviours lead to extreme reactions, but it doesn't mean the extreme reaction actually solves anything. Prior to this, Obama was elected because he was actually capable of reading an auto-cue, a skill his predecessor never seemed to master, and because he seemed less keen on bombing the shit out of everybody.

    Obviously, I'm in the minority here. You chaps all seem to think DJT's magnificent, and anybody who thinks otherwise is apparently deranged.

    Did you know that Trump only has around 4000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined?

    True story:

    I've probably been sued about 6-7 times. All of them were dismissed except one which went to trial (and my partner and I won, by the way).

    During the trial, the plaintiff put up a large (2 foot by 3 foot) copy of the anesthesia record.

    During the defense part of the case, our attorney (my partner and I were both being sued), put up the same exhibit that the plaintiff's attorney had put up.

    "Dr. R, does this reflect your anesthesia record?"

    "Yes it does."

    "For the jury can you tell us what these marks and comments mean?"

    (Dr. R explains comments)

    "Dr. R, did you go to a Catholic school?"

    "Yes, I did."

    "And this is your handwriting?"

    "Yes."

    "The nuns, allowed this?"

    My parter shrinks in the witness's chair."

    Jury laughs.

    Then, it was my turn.

    "Dr. K. Is this an accurate representation of your comments on the anesthesia record?"

    Me: "Yes, it is."

    "Dr. K, did you go to a Catholic school as well?"

    Me: "Yes, I did."

    My attorney walked away from the easel holding the record, shaking his head.

    Jury laughs.

    But you knew that, of course.
    ("Philistine" means
    a : a person who is guided by materialism and is usually disdainful of intellectual or artistic values
    b : one uninformed in a special area of knowledge)

    George, do you prefer Ode Rico or Parfum de Vandoren?

    But yeah, if access to banking is being denied for political reasons I have a huge problem with that.

    This.

    But guys, this isn't over political reasons, these are basic questions of good vs evil. Right and wrong! They are entirely justified. They should probably set fire to the headquarters of GiveSendGo, just in case.

    I would think on this auspicious birthday you could have found something a bit more introspective to apologize for....

    Funny I posted that before realizing it was my birthday. These days my first inkling is when I go on social media.

    I must say I really prefer Edge these days. Is Chrome the new Netscape?

    Haven't tried Edge much. I like Chrome... it's fast, too. Isn't Edge built on the same chromium baseline?
