Am sure France will surrender before Ukraine Russia.

King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates , the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.

Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."

"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the king!"

Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."

@George-K Sure. But its not clear he's totally off, just sidelined from the Florida case he was hired for.

Consumer Reports did a piece on Long COVID in the October issue.

They think a Mediterranean Diet may reduce inflammation and be beneficial. They also advise moderate exercise, but never exercise to exhaustion.

But they had a lot more questions than answers.

Had a very brief "nodebb" whiteout a few minutes ago t; everything is fine now.

@Klaus said in Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter:

Loyalty is important, but it should never be absolute and above everything else.

I never thought of this in this context before, but really, wouldn't you have to inculcate loyalty in a soldier in the field, to keep him in the field? What is to keep him from deserting otherwise, if it isn't loyalty to the protection of his country? Or more immediately and powerfully, the protection of his fellow platoon mates?

@Axtremus said in Whither the GOP post Trump 2020 election loss:

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/01/politics/trump-mcconnell-death-wish-democrat-bills/index.html

Former President Donald Trump on Friday night directly ridiculed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, saying on his social media platform that the Kentucky Republican had a "death wish" for supporting "Democrat sponsored bills."
...

Also said this about Sen. McConnel's wife, calling her "his China loving wife, Coco Chow!”

Is this really a guy that people think is fit to be President???

I love them fried or in other cooked ways. Raw, um...not my cup of tea slime.

@LuFins-Dad said in TNCR Pandemic Weight Loss Challenge:

When I started the thread I managed to lose some weight but stalled. So I am back on the plan and making progress. I hope to be at 205 in 5 weeks, and after the trip I’m hoping to knock out a bit more. I’m eyeballing 195…

Not quite at the 205, but close... It's nice to be back within the limits (barely) of "optimal weight" for my height!

I haven't seen too many lawyers who were above trying to get you to say something they could use later.

@Jolly I mean any gop candidate in the third decade of the 21st century.
