I was diagnosed with “viral upper respiratory infection, not flu” in early 2020. I refused the vaccination because it was untested and I know what mRNA is and what it does. I was sick for a couple of weeks and I appear to have recovered completely. Ironically, despite refusing flu vaccinations since, I haven’t had the flu since or the symptoms are at a very low level. Hooray for naturally acquired immunity.

IMO, Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote one musical and all the rest just are just different lyrics and scenery.

The UK has been called “perfidious Albion” for centuries now, why would anyone think that has changed.

Rebellious Celts call the union flag “The Butcher’s Apron” for good reasons.

A cheap, ill-fitting one but a suit nevertheless...

Booker is a rich kid and probably needs someone to dress him in the morning, someone to wipe his nose and a fluffer for, well, you know…

You are correct. If some peddler sells "ascorbic acid free vitamin C", then there is fuckery afoot.

The three rules and one corollary of firearms safety:

  1. All firearms are loaded.
  2. Never point a firearm at anything you don't want to destroy.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
    Corollary - Always be aware of your target and what is behind it.

I was going to add that sentiment to my "hard heart" post but yours is eloquent enough for both of us.

It's not the weapon that kills, it's the hard heart determined to defend itself.

I don't believe that mentally ill people have the capacity to defend themselves regardless of the weapon at hand.

Clapton is in his late 70s. That brings a whole set of problems by itself. I'm running down that road myself.

So sad. Are his guitars for sale? Asking for a friend... He'd like one of Brian's Gretsch 6120s.

A hundred and thirty-four thousand a year for the deputy chief of staff for a one hundred and seventy-four thousand a year representative.

I doubt his heart will last until 2028 and if it does, the rigors of campaigning won’t go well for him.

I don’t think that “Crazy Steve” was ever a respected author. I started to read “ The Tommyknockers” but continued just to see how bad it could get. I was not disappointed.

It's long past time to end our defensive occupation of foreign sovereign nations. If they want or need military assistance then we can provide it on a time and materials cost basis.
In other words, cash and carry.

There are seventeen rare earth elements. They are: Lanthanum (La), Cerium (Ce), Praseodymium (Pr), Neodymium (Nd), Promethium (Pm), Samarium (Sm), Europium (Eu), Gadolinium (Gd), Terbium (Tb), Dysprosium (Dy), Holmium, (Ho), Erbium (Er), Thulium (Tm), Ytterbium (Yb), Lutetium (Lu), Scandium (Sc) and Yttrium (Y).
They are used mainly in high-tech applications although Neodymium and Samarium are often used in headphone and speaker magnets.

Added later: I forgot to mention that Cerium is the primary ingredient in lighter flints, of all things.
