    The only diversity I would tolerate is admittance based on hand/eye coordination and grades.

    @George-K said in Medical Questionnaire: "Why did God make babies so cute?" "Because you'd kill them if they weren't." This is literally true, at least for values of God equal to evolution.

    @Catseye3 said in How to screw up your life - 101: I'm curious if the NFL will draft Carter in spite of this. Don't see why they wouldn't -- innocent til proven guilty -- but I don't know the NFL protocol for this kind of thing. That's why I referenced Collins.

    @Axtremus said in It's a shame it wasn't heard by more people...: For those wondering whether it would worth your while to play the video … It’s an anti-vaccine mandate speech concerning certain law enforcement government jobs. BTW, that's only partially true. In fact, a good bit of his rant is about fiscal policy. So, did what you said be considered a half-truth or a half-lie?

    My favorite brewpub, Cartridge, in the old abandoned Peters Cartridge plan, is hosting a drag Queen show dinner. It’s 18 and up, but this is a family place. Not a favorite anymore.

    I've liked my HP Spectre x360 - I've had it for a few years now, I think I got it for about $1100 on offer. The one thing it lacks is an HDMI socket. It doubles (kind of) as a tablet, although it's a pretty clunky one. Lots of people say they don't like touch screens, but I find I use it quite a bit.

    Wanna wear one, wear it. Just make sure you're wearing a fit-tested N95 and wear it for no more than 2 hours. Be very careful not to touch your hands to your eyes while you're wearing the mask...Actually, you'd be better off wearing sterile goggles, also. And a reminder...when removing your PPE, use sterile technique, as all outer garments (including your mask and goggles) are contaminated.

    @Doctor-Phibes His approach seemed rather ham-fisted…,”Hey, let's put trade sanctions on them! OK, now let's do it to Europe too! Everybody's a loser except me!" Ham-fisted is an understatement. Our the Minister of International Trade referred to it as absurd when he slapped tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium because he felt they were a threat to national security. Thankfully it was US manufacturers who induced him to lift the tariffs when it became apparent that domestic supply couldn’t meet the demand and the prices for the commodities began to skyrocket. Tump proved himself to be an unsurpassed mental midget in most of his international dealings. Clueless is the word.
