@Bernard said: Welcome back, Daniel! Glad events are going well for you. Must feel luxurious to have your own place now. Thanks, Bernard! It does feel luxurious. I felt like I was living in the 19th century at my last place. FEMA declared it uninhabitable after Milton. But that has practical meaning to local officials. I did appreciate having a roof over my head, a bathroom, and cold running water, truly. I did look on the bright side. That helped.

Actually, all US intelligence services concluded some time ago that it came from the lab in China. Fauci is a psychopath hiding behind the mask of secular saint. Fauci aka as quote "I am science" has a preemptive pardon. He didn't deserve it (is this actually legal?) but certainly needs it.

This begs the question of why an executive would need to be convinced of reality but moving on...

I saw him at Ravinia in the late 1990s. It was a hot humid day and he was of course performing in the outdoor pavilion. He was sweating profusely and I was worried he would keel over mid-performance but he never missed a beat. Borge played his first major concert in 1926 Holy cow.

@CHAS That can be even more expensive in the long run.

Hungary to shut sole nuclear plant for first time on Sunday Record-low water levels on the Danube forced the Paks plant offline, leaving Hungary facing a potential power crunch. In neighboring Serbia, energy production at two hydroelectric plants has also been reduced. It measured the Danube's water level in Budapest at 23 centimeters (9 inches) on Wednesday morning, well below the previous record low of 33 centimeters (13 inches) set in 2018. https://www.dw.com/en/hungary-to-shut-sole-nuclear-plant-for-first-time-on-sunday/a-78205668
