    @jolly said in Biden’s scaled down inauguration plan: May be more Trump supporters than Biden supporters at the Inauguration. That would be a hoot... You saw what happened a week or two ago when both he and Trump held events in Georgia.. Trump, who supposedly lost the election, had thousands of people show up at his event. Biden - the man who was considered a loser by both parties for 47 years, senile, who picked a woman as his vice president who isn't even popular in her own state.... that dynamo team who never campaigned and couldn't draw a big enough crowd to fill a school bus but who allegedly got more votes than anyone in history.......... No one showed up at his. No. One.

    Or, as one internal med guy told me about Cox-2 inhibitors... "For some patients, it's all I have that works well. At that point, it's quality of life vs. quantity of life".

    I don't know enough about the science stuff to substantiate everything on the list, but no matter... The better sleep, mental health, and motivation to make better eating choices have been very real, and are more than enough to keep me going.

    @george-k said in New House Rules: it's not a "bill" and therefore doesn't have the power of law. Right, I knew that but was too lazy to be more precise.

    Deutscher has been on my radar for a couple of years already. I wonder how she develops. She was impressive as a child prodigy, but now she needs to show that she can go beyond that. There is of course nothing wrong with great melodies, but, even if this is obviously extremely impressive for a child, the music sounds rather derivative. The Adés concerto is not my cup of tea.

    @jon-nyc said in NYT creates re-enactment of Breanna Taylor Shooting: As I said next door, how any jurisdiction could think that it is a good idea to have both no-knock raids and a castle doctrine is beyond me. Tis a puzzlement.

    I forgot that modern browsers tend to store cached pages in some kind of database, with some encoding of the data going on, hence you can't just grep through the files. Rather, one would have to read them via an utility such as this one.

    One fav way we cook salmon is to sandwich two fillets with skin on; put a little salt, pepper, slived shallots, lemon slices, and white wine between them; tie with roasting string; and bake. Sandwiching keeps it very moist. MS likes her salmon cooked through, I like mine fleshy and a wee bit rare.
