Coincidentally I've been watching the Netflix series called The Days. It is the story of the Fukushima plant. Mistakes were made. https://www.netflix.com/title/81233755

I wonder what is a "homophobic slur". But, unfortunately they can not define "homophobic slurs" because they don't want to go to prison.

Only the conductor gets paid in our local symphony. The players volunteer. The majority are teachers and doctors.

Yep, he gets to keep it.

@Horace said in What age to start piano lessons?: That's pretty old for a beginner, but don't let her get discouraged. Thx!

Hillary losing in 2016 is still better than Trump jailed in 2024.

Be cool for toll booths too.

@Axtremus said in Keep your gasoline in a secure location: condition that makes the patient thirst for gasoline? He swallowed a chainsaw, but forgot to fuel it.

I'll never put on a mask again. Link to video

@Mik said in Bard on "gender affirming" care: Seems a bit biased. Just a bit.

When it went, it went fast...

As the good doctor sez, the physics still apply to the brain...Wonder if an external device can slow down the deceleration of the brain inside of the skull...

@Axtremus said in Time for a shave: @George-K Does Boris seem to enjoy these grooming sessions? I would guess no. The place where I used to take him (too far, too busy) had to muzzle him for grooming. Yesterday was the 2nd time at a new place, and they had no comment. However, he does enjoy being brushed - which I do every day. I ask him if he wants to get brushed, and he runs to the kitchen and hops on the counter. Of course, the fact that he gets a treat afterward probably has nothing to do with that....

@kluurs said in An 18 year old Ramaswamy: Just finished his book, Nation of Victims. I highly recommend it, very thoughtful. I'm not sure I can follow him on his - "hey, Taiwan - you're safe for 4 years" strategy, his analysis of the political landscape is good, his assessment on the damage done by victimization is spot on, and background on his life is interesting.

Also, why did they feel the need to release the video to the media? If the cop was drunk it would have taken months before they lost the tape.

Wow! That is just crazy! How stupid

Is there any proof?
