@George-K We've had protests, demonstrations, and the topic was permanently all over the news. This stopped abruptly in 1992, when the 12 week rule was established. Since then, it's a complete non-topic in German political life.

Unless it has to be done, don't mess with what God gave you.

Sometimes the demand for outrage exceeds the supply.

@Jolly I was going to make the same point.

Cool stuff. Mrs. George and I have taken a couple of scenic rail trips. We've taken the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad twice. One of the locomotives was used in the movie "Stand By Me."

@George-K said in Merit Based: @George-K said in Merit Based: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp I dropped my age to 39 and lied about a Job offer, foreign work experience (USA?) and a couple of other things. Boosted up to 729. [image: 1684611776975-screenshot-2023-05-20-at-2.42.44-pm.png] Just increasing my age to 45 drops my score by 50 points. Citing your foreign work experience as USA is not lying. Foreign work experience in your profession is all what you have. You have never worked as a physician in Canada.

@Mik said in HOPO 14-1: How do you go about testing it? Do you introduce heavy metals to the body? Sounds dubious. https://phc.amedd.army.mil/topics/workplacehealth/ih/Pages/Occupational-Heavy-Metals.aspx Most occupational exposures to heavy metals are associated with metal working and machining, including but not limited to fabrication, smelting, welding, forges, foundries, grinding, refinishing and repair work.

@Horace said in At the college graduation: . . .chatting with a blond girl No comment. No need to comment. You sly fox you Horace!

I think it is. It certainly makes good sense from a business perspective.
