    @Doctor-Phibes said in 5 years isn't enough.: I don't understand how anybody could do what these people did to their pet. And they sit and wait, and wait, and wait . . . My dog was my best friend, too.

    I wonder if they can pinpoint just why it is so minor for the young, and becomes so much worse for people who are older, but in no way elderly. It seems to be such a mysterious and weird disease.

    Mine sounded like some kind of hangover of 90s wussrock, so I tried to emulate the style. Hey, everybody, it's the early 90s and Photoshop added this new thing called "drop shadow" as a filter style!! [image: 1607101391279-album-art.jpg]

    @Mik said in Durham recommends prison: I'm thinking he's not going to get a pardon. LOL, prolly not from President Trump. Who knows what Joe will do.

    Prisoners of Geography Ten Maps that explain the world has an excellent chapter on China that helps in understanding the “why” here. Maybe it was somewhere else that I read that one strategy is to migrate non Muslims to the region to breed out the “dangerous” element.

    @Klaus said in Puzzle time - square or circle?: @Axtremus your solution looks promising, too, but you also made a very trivial error near the end. Ah, indeed I have, that’s when the tawny port kicked in.

    @jon-nyc said in Vote shares: Trump 2020 46.9 Trump 2016 46.1 Hm, that's interesting. So he profited less from the electoral college system in 2020 than in 2016. It suggests that he either gained votes where he was already strong in 2016 (but got no additional EC seats), or that he gained votes in places where he was weak in 2016 but even with the additional votes not strong enough to gain a seat. I guess it's more of the former.

    Ah, right. I forgot that one needs a bottom plank. With 10 planks, my result would be correct.

    And to think...In those days, the U.S. almost didn't have an amored division, more like an expansion of a Calvary Brigade. By the end of WW2, America fielded 16 armor divisions and we were building tanks so fast, there was a M4 coming off the line every thirty minutes.

    I would never call that tinfoil hat stuff. It might or might not be correct, but (reasonably interpreted) it’s not crazy. (I didn’t watch the videos, just read the tweets)
