    I suspect the Porsche will have more oomph, the Mazda higher reliability.

    I have a benign tumor in my right knee. It was found in 2016 and is asymptomatic. Thought to be popliteal schwannoma. It's in the back of the knee. Ortho guy (who found it) said, "Nope. We're not going anywhere near that. It's really close to all the bleedy things." My pitcher.

    They're really pushing people hard into youtube premium. I subscribed for a little while, then sort of went the other way and deleted youtube from my tvs and phone. It's only on my pc and ipad now. Valuable resource, but highly addictive for me.

    @George-K Any doc can purport to be qualified to treat any condition. If the results end up being unfortunate, let him bear the consequences either in court, licensing body, or public opinion.. Yes, I have seen just that with my late father. When he and his wife moved to BC in their retirement, they connected with an MD who had numerous geriatrics as regular patients. In any case my father’s wife really liked him. My father not so much, in fact he didn’t think he was all that great and would only refer him to specialists as a last resort. To make a long story short, it all came to a head in 2003 when the MD refused to order a colonoscopy for my father after a few months of ongoing big issues down south. He concluded it was amoebic dysentery and treated it without result other than a worsening of the problem. I raised hell with him over the phone a said I would drive my father to Bellingham Washington and pay for the colonoscopy out of pocket. The doctor relented and agreed to order the procedure. Yes, there was cancer and a specialist was then engaged. Luckily it was slow growing and located convenient for surgery. Surgery was successful. After speaking with the surgeon I had yet another go around with the MD over the phone. The surgeon however was not impressed with what he discovered and went after the MD. Turns out that that the MD was not a specialist in geriatric medicine, but rather an OB/Gyn with a less than stellar record with his peers. He soon closed his practice and moved elsewhere. A bit like the surgeon you described.

    @George-K said in You want a can of worms? I got an electoral can for ya.: It's an interesting legal question. IF the states (and that's a big if) can select how to apportion the electors, then there might be a basis for this movement. I'm not saying I agree, by any means. Just that it's an interesting legal argument. Because "democracy," you know. Don't want no knuckle-dragging deplorables having any say. Wonder how Mr. Faris will feel when Donald wins the popular vote this year.
