@mik said in Alan Turing on £50 note: Times change. Nice to honor him posthumously but it would have been nicer to treat him like a human being while alive. This is cynical, cheap showmanship. I don't know - he got a royal pardon in 2013, which seems very late. I think one of the problems at the time was that his wartime service was completely unknown, as it was still covered by the official secrets act. What was done to him by the British courts was of course barbaric. It puts the lie to the fact that being gay is a choice - who would choose to go through that? The good old days weren't that great for a lot of people.

Yeah, when I was a young guy, I wisely found a very competent young doc who was recommended to me. One of my MD friends said it was amazing that I was this doc's patient as he was the physician to a lot of VIPs in Chicago. I've now seen him for 35 years - but I know at some point I'm going to be left in the lurch when he retires. We share a passion for music and every visit is a discussion of music, performance, recordings, etc. Anytime I call, I am dealt with promptly. Part of the challenge of dealing with someone new will be making sure they actually listen and are responsive to what they're told.

Prosecute them to the fullest extent How else can we stop doofusses from taking selfies in the Capitol?

https://www.wsj.com/articles/down-the-biden-tax-threshold-11616360766?mod=e2fb&fbclid=IwAR35Fov9LHKG2Zxi5QQjBC_NVCFr9PIWRPkGZXRKqTPIMbyFdg8FZAC9fx0 President Biden is now conceding that a tax increase is coming to pay for all of his new spending, though he’s still obfuscating who will pay. Mr. Biden campaigned on a pledge not to raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 a year. He reaffirmed that threshold last week in an ABC interview. “Anybody making more than $400,000 will see a small to a significant tax increase,” Mr. Biden told George Stephanopoulos. He added: “If you make less than $400,000, you won’t see one single penny in additional federal tax.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki later conceded that the $400,000 threshold was for “families,” not individuals. So if you’re a two-income household making $200,000 each, you could get whacked. This is a familiar tax bait and switch. Democrats promise they’ll tax only the rich, but there aren’t enough rich, and the rich don’t have enough money to finance the Democratic Party’s endless spending schemes. Millions of the Americans Mr. Biden wants to tax aren’t rich. They are successful Americans, typically at the peak of their earning lives, who might make $200,000 for a few years. Watch closely as the Biden plans unfold in case Democrats try to slip in new taxes on energy, such as a gas or carbon tax, that would apply even to those who make less than $200,000. Eventually, perhaps in some debt-financing panic, they’ll press for a value-added tax on consumption as well. As everyone knows, the middle class is where the real money is, and sooner or later they’re coming after you.

@catseye3 said in Ban Oral: Your income may be shrinking soon, if you know what I mean. Not gonna use that "spit" emoticon. Nope. Not gonna.

Lock 'em up.

Medicare just sent an email to make us aware of monoclonal antibodies as a covered and effective treatment.

"The patient demand his perfect hand back and I promised him that he will be able to grab things again." I'd like to see a video of how much of the original hand functionality was restored by the surgery. There's a very long spectrum between "able to grab a medium sized thing" and "performing brain surgery".

I didn't know Aqua's Sister was named Pollution...

@jolly said in Senators refuse to allow white people to get jobs with the government: He didn't refuse. He left office. Well I guess he refused (past tense), even as late as January 6th when he said he would never accept the election results. But I guess he eventually did.

I went to an outdoor wedding and reception last Saturday in Coonassland. Had fun.

Exactly. Where do think most voters are getting their info? The media is the root of most societal ills these days, IMO.

We should be appalled by something Either not enough restrictions on the hockey game Or too much on schools

@copper said in Prince Harry gets a job: He has no hope of anything like fair treatment. Maybe he will just fade away. Not if the British press have anything to do with it.

It is. I don't agree with or like some of the things Andy posts, but I don't stalk him nor try to convince people he shouldn't be here.

@jolly said in 80,000,000: @lufins-dad said in 80,000,000: @Jolly a couple of points 80,000,000 (actually 87,000,000) didn’t vote for that guy because they never saw that guy. The NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, et al made sure that nobody ever saw that guy At any rate, I can easily believe that 87,000,000 voted against the other guy. I believe the election was rigged, but not in the way that you do. I believe it was rigged by a morally bankrupt media over 4 long years. I believe it was rigged by a couple of Republican State Legislatures not standing up and using their powers last May/June. Well, now that stuff like the video is trickling out, will there be buyer's remorse? Surely you understand TDS better than that. No, there is no buyer's remorse, and there never could be, within the minds of TDS sufferers. Maybe a few middle of the roaders might reconsider in retrospect, especially if their taxes go up, their 401ks go down, and "racism" is a bigger problem than ever.

Copying and using...

Or even better, "Leave the naked pictures and go away".
