    Edit- I fell for the "altered or synthetic content" click bait disclaimer by not seeing it. I think he's violating much of the Constitution, it also seems clear the SCOTUS is useless. My error.

    On a semi-related note... It’s the Maine one, not the main one — a 208-year-old, Maine-based publication that farmers, gardeners and others have relied on for planting guidance and weather predictions will publish for the final time. The Farmers’ Almanac, not to be confused with its older, longtime competitor, The Old Farmer’s Almanac in neighboring New Hampshire, said Thursday that its 2026 edition will be its last. The almanac cited the growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the book in today’s “chaotic media environment.” Access to the online version will cease next month. The Farmers’ Almanac was first printed in 1818 and the Old Farmer’s Almanac started in 1792, and it’s believed to be the oldest continually published periodical in North America. Both almanacs used secret formulas based on sunspots, planetary positions and lunar cycles to generate long-range weather forecasts. “It is with a heavy heart,” Editor Sandi Duncan said in a statement, “that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future.” https://apnews.com/article/farmers-almanac-ceases-publication-f298627037891ce28da55a55e1bb3626

    The Austrians fascinate me no end. Their motto could have been make love not war. Marie Antoinette was a Hapsburg who of course became Queen of France. Her mother is one of my favorite people in history-- Empress Maria Thérèa. This house was known to collect and commission the finest art objects. They had discernment in spades. Exciting!

    My favorite, although it's not a scam, is corporation x cannot verify your identity. Well, I'm probably the person on my valid driver's license.

    Good wishes, Dol! To the room- I have a thing to say about this topic and a tangent. a. mRNA (hoping sp. right) is a different technology than all of these other vaccines. So, imho, it makes sense it would have different injury rates, setting aside the various known and unknown possible side effects, and the injuries would vary in severity. ai) So, imho, it is only natural for people insist on making a decision about this in consultation with a Dr. aii) I might lean toward changing my own mind if these vaccinations had been shown with data from a credible source(s) they stop by transmissibily. aiii) I would like to look at it but insofar as I know it doesn't exist. b) It seems to me everyone knows this is a very controversial vaccine with a very complicated history. (bi) Every individual is responsible for his or her health unless they can't be for some reason. (bii) I get all the available shots I can for the diseases I want vaccines. (biii) I wish I could pay out pocket for the ones my insurance won't cover. biv) I wish vaccines could defeat unknown bacteria and all kinds of known and unknown diseases!

    I didn’t hit Agree for their terms and conditions, so didn’t read it. But I generally have some old bread sitting around, and I use it to make croutons for soup. I just cut it into squares and toast them in a skillet.
