Perhaps we need apet thread?

@Steve-Miller said in How to dismantle the press, Putin master class:

@wtg

It would not be difficult to find 5 liars at Mar a Lago and they think it makes Trump look good.

That's my take.

A better historian than yours truly could compare Trump's support to the support Hitler had.

Recess appointments for me, but not for thee.

@DeweyLOU

Thank you for sharing this!

It’s tempting to say something like “my work isn’t as important as yours” as a way to excuse myself from taking the risk. But:

@DeweyLOU said in What do I do with this?:

Capitulation is what they're counting on. If we aren't all willing to take a stand, even in the face of potential risk, they'll have already won.

This is a powerful message, one I don’t take lightly.

Our Whirlpool washer and dryer have been serving us well since 1995. Built to last. I think newer machines are planned obsolescence.

@Rontuner Great picture.

I read stuff like this and I start thinking again about going to law school.

Space junk. Interesting piece. Security and audit trails in earlier years were not what they are today. It could have been an ill advised techie flexing his muscles.

Yes, it was exactly that way.

I haven’t been to Zion since 1969. I’d like another look for sure!

I finally had a chance to read the article and look at the pics. What a bizarre house. I mean it's really creative in some respects and retro in others (some of the furniture looks like it came out of my parents' house). Definitely a niche bit of housing.

Wow! That's wonderful. I love how these stories about WWII keep popping up. Some are offbeat and others are inspiring. This one is both!

we're not the professionals here, so there may be things we don't know to advocate for, or don't know how to.

I have never let this stop me and offer my medical insights and opinions to my doctor on a semi-regular basis. 😄

Fortunately he takes it in stride and manages to find ways to help me correct any erroneous ideas I might have, and to nudge me in the right direction. If I persist, he lets it drop without making a big deal about it. He's a really, really good doctor. Stays on top of things and is always looking out for the best interests of his patients. I think he's a rarity and I'm lucky to have him as my PCP.

Ugh, that is so depressing.

Yea, my Android phone suggests emojis for my texts all the time. And if I send a text with a question ("Do you want to go for a walk?") and the recipient doesn't answer, the next day it asks me if I want to follow up because I haven't gotten a response.

Thanks Google, I don't want or need the help. There's probably a way to turn it off but I haven't chased that down yet...

We had one of those rock hard gel packs too. They’re unusable. I’m pretty sure that one was from Walmart too. We switched to Ace bandage brand ice gel packs and had good luck with those.

I used to use those packs all the time for migraines. As it happens, switching meds (almost two years ago now) was life-changing for me and I can’t remember the last time I had to lie in a dark room with an ice pack on my head.
