More sad news from that messed up country. Three people, a Haitian man and an American couple who all worked for a Christian mission organization, were killed by gang members near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Thursday night (May 23). The group had reportedly been kidnapped earlier in the evening after leaving a youth event hosted at a church. Natalie and Davy Lloyd moved from Oklahoma to Haiti in 2022 to work for Missions in Haiti, Inc. The third person killed was the Haitian director of the organization, Jude Montis. Davy’s parents, David and Alicia Lloyd, who founded the organization in 2000, shared the news of their death in a Facebook post around 2 a.m. Friday, saying the couple had been shot by gang members around 9 p.m. https://religionnews.com/2024/05/24/american-missionary-couple-haitian-mission-director-killed-by-gangs-in-haiti/

As long as he isn’t Biden/Harris, that’s good enough for me.

I've seen a few like these, my son was supercharged when he was small. The most memorable one was hearing him falling down the quite steep stairs and seeing him face-planting hard right onto the tiled entrance at the bottom. We were both horrified and wondering about a potential hospital visit - he took a second, then got up and shouted "THAT WAS GREAT!!!!". We had to stop him from doing it again.

@Jolly said in New-School Parenting is Old-School Parenting: Jobs in nursing school? Ward clerk, ER tech, ... Something in the hospital. But keep your eyes on the prize. The goal is to graduate and pass the boards. Yeah, she's front desk right now, but they want to put her in the back as a med assistant. She's working on getting trained for that now. She's looking around at hospitals, but if any of that falls through, her current place likes the idea she's in school and is willing to work with her schedule on it, so there are worse situations.

@Renauda said in National Urban Rat Summit: All I know is that I have never in my life seen a wild rat here. I've never seen a wild rat here either. I've seen mice, chipmunks, skunks, deer, bears, possums, turkeys, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, rabbits a-plenty as well as all the rest of the standard fauna. But never a rat. Maybe they're in disguise. Sneaky buggers.

I've never made it all the way to the end of a basketball game. It's a bit like golf in that respect except there are a lot less Scottish people doing it, presumably because of the height disadvantage they'd suffer.

@taiwan_girl said in Nagelgeige: I thought he was hard to understand. He's British, so there's that.

Just like there is bidding for the best high school physics majors. It's probably always should have been like this.

may as well make the religion official. At least there's tax benefits.

Just ordered it on audible. Short book at 6.5 hours.

Thanks. I’ll stay with the razor brand have used for the last twenty plus years.

Even at my age I don't watch any of those. Getting rid of cable was so good.

@jon-nyc said in Ax, got yours?: People really appreciate the irony of ‘Never Surrender’ juxtaposed with his surrender picture. Don't talk about 47 like that.

At present, there is no ICC warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest. The ICC Chief Prosecutor in The Hague has only announced that his office intends to apply to the International Court for the arrest of Netanyahu, his Minister of Defence and specific leaders of Hamas. The application could take months to complete and make its way through the system . Also, there is no guarantee the Court will even issue a warrant. If a warrant were issued in future the only countries that would be obliged to arrest any of the named persons would be countries who have signed onto Rome Statute. Germany is a signatory as is the UK, France and Canada. The US, Israel as well as Russia, China and a number of Arab states are not party to Rome Statute. So yes, if a warrant is issued those guys would likely be arrested if they travel abroad to signatory states such as Germany. Countries that signed the Rome Statute: https://asp.icc-cpi.int/states-parties
