Quite satisfying to watch them put those together.

That looks pretty good. Not a fan of mint. But I'd give it a try.

Doctors need to be careful now when prescribing Deep Brain Stimulation!

This speaks to American's view on the rule of law and the lawyer's role in society. One can easily imagine a different society where businesses favor law firms that have good relationships with the government as they expect the lawyers to help grease the bureaucratic wheels with various things, like getting government permits and favored protections from competition and torts.

An encouraging talk. But, I am not sure I agree with the below But he said the US cannot deter the Chinese threat alone, calling on other nations to be “force multipliers” against Beijing.

The impacts could ripple through America’s economy. A 10% drop in international tourism this year—based on the decline in foreign visitors to the U.S. by air in March—could cost America $23 billion in gross domestic product and the equivalent of roughly 230,000 jobs, according to estimates from Implan chief economist Jennifer Thorvaldson.

While some interpreted the remark as a joke, others said it raised concerns about the recently appointed acting administrator, who has no prior experience managing natural disasters. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/02/politics/david-richardson-fema-head-unaware-hurricane-season

Meh. They didn't suffer.

That is crazy. I remember when you first posted that, and I was amazed then (and still am).
