I went on a pub crawl in summer in Nottingham, maybe 30 years ago, it was a good deal. I believe I got a drink in 3 different places, all claiming to be the oldest pub in the UK.

There has been a lot of new weather radar technology deployed during the last 70 years. The methods used to count them must have changed many times.

You can't lower recidivism rates unless you change the culture. Of course, in this case we aren't talking about recidivism. We're talking cold-blooded murder of an innocent person, with firmly established guilt. If you've got a weasel killing chickens in your chickenhouse, you don't try to understand it, you don't try to rehabilitate it, you kill it. Once you kill it, it is no longer a threat to any present chickens or future chickens. Vinyl is final. Well, so is Death. At least for the unsaved, should he suddenly get Death Row Religion (most do).

Quite a synthetic approach!

Great story!

Yup, be interesting to see if this goes anywhere. Even if this specific thing does not, some of the learning may be used on other things.

The starter pistol line legitimately made himself laugh, that was funny.

@George-K said in Louisiana Bill to Sanction Surgical Castrations: I wonder if they'll be able to find urologists, or any surgeon) who would do this. My wife had two uncles that worked at Angola for many years and they've cut hundreds of hogs over the years. The process is similar. Or, I guess you could crush them like they do on bull calves.

@coxinus said in Puzzle Time - Chess: @Doctor-Phibes Chess problems are always white to move. That's racist.

Yes, the Congress party (which was the party in power forever, starting with Nehru - followed by his daughter Indira Gandhi -- followed by her son Rajiv -- followed by his son Rahul) is also going to try and form a government. (As an aside story - Rajiv was never going to be in politics. His brother Sanjay was the one who was being taught to move up the political ladder. But he died in a plane crash (he was the pilot) and after he died, Rajiv became more active)

As long as megaprojects are driven by narrow politics and “process” as opposed to efficiency, the country will continue to lag in improving its infrastructure despite massive subsidies from government. That is a key sentence and agrees with my thoughts. Almost all infrastructure is done with public money, and it is tough to get people to agree to "pay up" for just maintaining things.

Funny!!!! (I have no idea what the guy was saying - too busy watching the little kid)

@89th Agree. She is one of those in congress who get out-sized attention, way above their abilities or accomplishments. Ocazco from the Democrats is her equivalent.

Didnt know a word about the different oils, I will read more.
