    At least BoJo didn’t promise Brussels would pay for it.

    No, the upper class twat said that all the money saved would go to the NHS.

    How could anybody trust a man whose advisor was named Cummings?

    And the stew looks like it turned out great! And that bread looks yummy.

    Spent all day on both. Ate it in 20 minutes. Absolutely worth it.

    (I never understood that time comparison, by the way. I mean, yeah. That's how it works. Go with ramen if that's your thing, I don't care, but worthwhile things take time. That being said, next time I'll use the instant pot.)

    I went out of my way to drill into my daughter that if you are ever in that situation hit the gas and run the bastards down we will deal with the fallout later.

    17 is a good run, about as good as can be done.

    That's more unconditional love than many people ever receive.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Loss of life > 9/11 every day for another 2 months:

    2500 people die in the US every single day due to Heart Disease. I’ve not heard a thing about comparing those two numbers, even though the context would be much closer...I’ve never once heard someone say “Three 9/11s every weak due to CBD” so why do it with this disease?

    It’s not context, it’s narrative. And that’s part of the reason it’s offensive.

    Hell, the heart disease number is actually kind of worse because it is a disease that is more preventable. Stop eating so many Big Macs, lose 30 pounds or so, and see the difference...

    Are you saying heart disease is a better comparison?

    COVID deaths are unique in that unlike heart disease, drowning, getting hit by a bus, etc, etc, it's the only cause of death that (1) is mostly preventable (2) doesn't take years of work to prevent and (3) exhibits exponential growth. In those respects it's absolutely nothing like heart disease at all.

    Wait, are you asking if I think CBD is a better comparison for COVID or 9/11?

    Just wait for Trump Jr. I am not very familiar with Ivanka and Kushner, though I've heard very good things about the actual work in this world that they've each done. I've heard an interview with Trump Jr. It's safe to say he's going to be compelling politically if he ever chooses the arena.

    @Jolly agree with you 100%. And that is why I have said that many of the things that worked in other countries probably could not work in the US

    However, to say that the response in the US was so good, is a bit nave.

    Not for the money. I had a Le Crueset grill pan once. Did not like it at all so I guess that soured me on the brand. Now I have the Lodge and find it superior.

    Yea but drawing on a larger application base may increase the quality of your doctors. Sort of like increasing the gene pool.
