I don’t really think the obesity epidemic could have actually gotten worse. There was really only one direction to go…

It would be her first time. I doubt it will happen.

Just saw the ad on the World Series tonight.

The mullahs support base is outside Tehran among the rural peasantry and small towns. Those were the Iranians who supported Khomeni’s counterrevolution in 1979 and have kept the mullahs in power ever since. I really don’t see that base breaking from the theocracy anytime soon. The young Iranian intelligentsia in Tehran is in no better a position than it was twenty or more years ago when it challenged the peasant supported mullahs.

Didn't know that there were emperors on the cards

Wasn't just racial though. It had to do with prejudging people you don't know. I think GSAWM is a worthy, if not quite as friendly, sequel. It shows the conflicts that inevitably arise with standing against prejudice.

Damn you old.

I wonder where exactly steroids will appear in the next food pyramid.

While he has enough self love to make him the most beloved President of all time, for all the stones thrown at him, it is probably safe to say that he is the most transformational President since Reagan, and possibly since FDR - and he's not done yet.

In any event I seriously doubt she’s going to see any jail time.

@Axtremus said in Alternative Chocolates: Personally, I don't mind. I like the flavor, but I have no strong feeling for cacao beans one way or another. If there is a way to get the flavor without the saturated fat, so much the better. Or you could read a label on cocoa powder and check the saturated fat content.

Zeroing in on Florida: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/us/obamacare-price-spikes-lost-subsidies-threaten-florida.html As many as a third of the 4.7 million Floridians on Affordable Care Act plans could drop them next year because of the higher costs, … And, no, Florida is not a Medicaid expansion state.

@Tom-K said in An E-Bike for your feet: @Doctor-Phibes said in An E-Bike for your feet: What's the point in going faster if you're burning fewer calories? You do give away the fact you're not American buy making comments like this. Americans just want to go faster--and that's all there is to it. Well they sure as shit don't want to burn more calories, that much is obvious
