How to Ace your United Healthcare Interview
A while back mr kii’s brother needed a kidney transplant. mr kii volunteered. He was a perfect match..
In the original, and very comprehensive, paperwork mr kii noted that he had kidney stones as a young teen. Many very expensive health checks etc later one of the last things was for him to collect his urine for 24 hours or something.
He had high levels of calcium and was rejected as a donor.
This took months.
His brother’s top rated medical insurance covered all the costs of blood work, lots of scans, stress tests, psychological tests, counseling. Everything was great. It took many hours of my husband’s time, it gave hope to the extended family
mr kii asked the doctor who was organizing the transplant why didn’t they start with the urine test straight up? Something something about this is the standard process or something.
mr kii was a perfect match, but because he might develop kidney stones after donating a kidney he would put his remaining kidney at risk.
Fucking insurance company’s games of screw the people, and get the money.

Maybe.
The figure does have a quiver full of arrows at his side.
Maybe Robin hood then, who is the only other famous archer I can think of. Is there a story of him shooting an apple off the head of a child too?
TATE says:
“ As early as 1845, Kuhn connected William Tell with Robin Hood and Óðinn: Felix Adolph Korn Nork, Andeutungen eines System der Mythologie entwickelt aus der priesterlichen Mysteriosophie und Hierologie des alten Orients, Leipzig: Dyck, 1850, OCLC 26330879, p. 93 (in German).”

This can happen to career military people, too.
They get interested in what motivates ‘the other side’ to take up arms, and compels them to partake in what can seem to be a futile and fatal conflict.
Of course, they’ll still shoot them, but not without reflection, either before or after.
A little bit Buddhist, in its way.

Mad publisher William Gaines in later years expressed regret at using the image, saying it seemed a good idea at the time, but response from distributors, newsstand owners etc made it more trouble than it was worth.

Pyramids of Mars
This one, I remember well.
Sutekh was another A-grade villain used only once in the Classic Era. Brought back recently for the episodes “The Legend of Ruby Sunday” and “Empire of Death”, top tier stories, with Gabriel Woolf returning after nearly 50 years to voice the role again.
How the heck did those slow-arse robo-mummies catch the poacher? It’s awkward. Too many of the Classic era critters are slow.
The story is set in 1911. Sarah mentions that she is from 1980, five years after the broadcast date. The Doctor takes her there after Sutekh makes his connection, and the Earth is sand and rubble. It’s fairly rare in the old era for the effects on the future of changes to the past. Also it seems changes to Horus’s curses can only travel as fast as light speed.
Michael Sheard plays a protagonist here but he’s more known for villain roles. He plays Ozzel in Empire Strikes Back, played a lot of Nazi officers. He played Adolf Hitler in three movies: The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Rogue Male.
CTTOI this means he played a baddie in four movies with Harrison Ford: Force 10 from Navarone, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
He just had the kind of look I guess. I should probably check out Force 10, seems a good cast.
DOCTOR: Hmm? Where did you get that dress?
SARAH: I just told you. I found it back there in the wardrobe. Why, don’t you like it?
DOCTOR: Yes. Yes, I always did. Victoria wore it. She travelled with me for a time.
SARAH: Well, as long as Albert didn’t wear it.

Dull Men’s Club® ·

My nephew (young teen) created this playlist.
I’m very proud, he seems on his way to become at great dull man.
I think this could be the 21st century version of spending endless hours (and thought) organizing records or CDs in various ways.
I am very sure he is not running around setting fires, or about to start.
I think the dull potential here is that he is willing to take the time to make a playlist in the form of a narrative, and that the thought occurred to him in the first place.
Now my mind seems preoccupied with other and longer narratives that could be created this way.

Indigo children, according to a pseudoscientific New Age concept, are children who are believed to possess special, unusual, and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities. The idea is based on concepts developed in the 1970s by Nancy Ann Tappe, who wrote that she had been noticing indigo children beginning in the late 1960s. Her ideas were further developed by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. The concept of indigo children gained popular interest with the publication of a series of books in the late 1990s and the release of several films in the following decade. A variety of books, conferences, and related materials have been created surrounding belief in the idea of indigo children and their nature and abilities. The interpretations of these beliefs range from their being the next stage in human evolution to the belief that they are more empathetic and creative than their peers.
No scientific studies give credibility to the existence of indigo children or their traits. Some parents choose to label their children who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities as an indigo child to alternatively diagnose them. Critics view this as a way for parents to avoid considering pediatric treatment or a psychiatric diagnosis. Some lists of traits used to describe indigo children have also been criticized for being vague enough to be applied to most people, a form of the Forer effect.

So, it’s like ‘indigo’ in the 7-colour spectrum.
It’s not a real thing, not really there, just something made up because Isaac Newton considered the number 7 to be ‘sacred’.
Thus, ‘indigo children’ are a brand of not-real woo bullshit, because, y’know, wow, spooky, cool, right?

When asked whether other countries would recognise the new name, he replied, “The shithole countries can do as they like, but I’m confident our friends and allies will accept the new names, rather than get in our bad books.”
In deference to his evangelical supporters, he decides to rename the Earth Jesus, and to commemorate his father, the moon becomes Fred.

The research (1994):
Cutting Boards of Plastic and Wood Contaminated Experimentally with Bacteria
>>These results do not support the often-heard assertion that Plastic cutting boards are more sanitary than wood. <<
And some research on whether you should oil the boards or not, more recent…2023
>>Cutting boards are a common surface used to cut many of these food items. After the cutting boards are washed, which introduces liquid water onto what is likely a dry piece of wood, the wood pulls the water into the wood, and the bacteria along with it, as it equilibrates the moisture. This keeps the surface of the wood clean, and the bacteria remain trapped inside the board, where they eventually die . This remains true no matter how scarred the wooden board becomes over time, the same of which is not true of plastic boards.<<
Both of those are Quite Interesting.

I don’t know. I think of it as a sort of wood, but I don’t know how it is processed for making cutting boards.

Not long ago I told someone astrology was bullshit. They replied, “that’s just cos you don’t know how it works”. I replied, “oh, ok then, what’s my star sign if I’m born on Mars?” But that’s apparently irrelevant because I was born on Earth. “But the planets should still tell me my characteristics regardless of where I was born, right?” No response.

There is an article in the latest Australian Skeptic magazine about horoscopes and the use of computers to generate them. Some of it was too technical for me, but there are apparently several programs available: Astrolog (open source, quite old, all positive affirmations); Astrolabe (costs money, not bought by the author so not reviewed); Janus (has a demo app for free, throws up the usual wishy washy platitudes). But if anyone wants to have a play…
I have to say I’m not surprised at the use of programmable calculators (early on) and computers, because a lot of astrology is tedious calculations.

That was the bit I found to be dodgy. In all the video footage there are no people.
If you looks at the first video I posted you can see someone a few metres behind the car just before it explodes. He seems to run away though. Perhaps there was someone in the car?

If you freeze frame it, the explosion comes from below the car. Most of it is from under it, with a flash out the left front window. It looks like the battery pack?

It will no doubt be publicly blamed on the boot full of fireworks going up and burning the rest of the car. Same would happen with any other vehicle. Nothing much to blame on Tesla here, they can’t be held responsible for what people put in the car..

Moments later, a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, which had been parked in the building’s valet area for about 15 seconds, caught fire and exploded.
At a press conference, Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Police Department said “gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the vehicle”.
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said in a post to X the explosion was not related to the vehicle itself.
“All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,” he wrote.

Stainless steel remains stainless, or does not rust, because of the interaction between its alloying elements and the environment. Stainless steel contains iron, chromium, manganese, silicon, carbon and, in many cases, significant amounts of nickel and molybdenum. These elements react with oxygen from water and air to form a very thin, stable film that consists of such corrosion products as metal oxides and hydroxides. Chromium plays a dominant role in reacting with oxygen to form this corrosion product film. In fact, all stainless steels by definition contain at least 10 percent chromium.
The presence of the stable film prevents additional corrosion by acting as a barrier that limits oxygen and water access to the underlying metal surface. Because the film forms so readily and tightly, even only a few atomic layers reduce the rate of corrosion to very low levels. The fact that the film is much thinner than the wavelength of light makes it difficult to see without the aid of modern instruments. Thus, although the steel is corroded on the atomic level, it appears stainless. Common inexpensive steel, in contrast, reacts with oxygen from water to form a relatively unstable iron oxide/hydroxide film that continues to grow with time and exposure to water and air. As such, this film, otherwise known as rust, achieves sufficient thickness to make it easily observable soon after exposure to water and air.

The main character, Hyacinth Bucket, is an absurdly and desperately pretentious women and part of this is that she insists that her surname is pronounced “bouquet”. Here, I draw a parallel to the Musk’s similar nature by implying he would pronounce rust bucket as roost bouquet: the Cybertrucks have been called rust buckets because of their tendency to rust at the weld points if not kept completely dry.

Use the right weapon/ammunition, and the armour is no longer protective.

They are not given a clear coat protective layer in the factory like any other sensible car. The only option is to get some plastic film applied (factory only) but it is several thousand dollars so buyers tend to skip that. What they get is bare metal. While stainless does form a thin protective film to prevent corrosion with the air, any dirt or dust, dead bugs, plant sap, salt spray etc that gets onto it will corrode the protective layer and leave surface discoloration, which is very visible. A lot of owners who skimped on the plastic coating are very unhappy they can’t leave it parked outside without constant washing.
A case of design purity meeting the real world.

We can argue about what would count as armour in this context but the panel thickness for the Cybertruck is 1.4 mm. This is higher than average for a car which is more like 1 mm, but of course most vehicles have some kind of enamel coat to prevent corrosion.

Ah well!FWIW here’s a video of it happening, but to be fair it looks like something in the rear tray exploded rather than the car itself.
https://x.com/i/status/1874545213550813404
If you freeze frame it, the explosion comes from below the car. Most of it is from under it, with a flash out the left front window. It looks like the battery pack?
Nah, I saw a still photo of the tray and it’s clear that it’s something like fireworks in the rear tray going up.
The first frame shows the splosion coming out from under and inside:
The second shows the bed going boom:

Anyone know what finish the ss on the cybertruck has? I haven’t seen one close up, but from the photos it looks like 2B; I probably would have expected #4. The internet doesn’t seem to know, although it does tell me that it’s grade 301.
Which isn’t food or medical grade. Which of course would be less likely to rust.
why isn’t it made out of gold plated titanium anyway

Also why is it so stupid looking? I respect Tesla’s desire to get involved in this sector of the market but the other battery electric utes on the market (F-150 Lighting, GWM Wingle) look more normal, with a reasonable use of tray space and some nod to aerodynamics. The Cybertruck looks like an invitation to turbulence with an awkward tray.

Meanwhile in the real worldhttps://www.topspeed.com/tesla-cybertruck-rust-truth/
Tesla includes a comprehensive corrosion warranty for the Cybertruck, which underscores the company’s confidence in the hard-wearing exterior’s durability and quality. This warranty typically covers corrosion perforation, where rust eats through the body panels from the inside out, rather than surface rust caused by environmental factors. The warranty runs for 12-years with an unlimited mileage cap, meaning you should have peace of mind for quite some time. If rust appears, it’s hard to deny that it won’t be an inconvenient situation to have the car taken in for repairs.

For whatever reason, if you do want your Tesla Cybertruck to look like a rusted pickup that would look at home during a zombie apocalypse, Luxe Concepts offers an ideal and well-executed wrap. You can seamlessly apply it to the body thanks to the truck’s geometric exterior design.

The problem being complained of is the surface rust caused by environmental factors. The buyers of new build Cybertrucks want them to keep looking new and shiny all the time. They were unaware of the level of effort (i.e. washing and drying) required to keep them looking flash. There is no question of this rust being a structural problem, it is purely aesthetic.

Yeah I know what they mean. With his Pepe and Kekistan stuff, he’s referring to trends that were cool with edgy racist teens like 12 years ago. I thought this might be a misfire but maybe he is trying to appeal to men in their late 20s or early 30s who look back on that stuff fondly.

Religion has always had a problem with sex.
Mostly because sex is more fun than going to church.
And, if you’re not going to church, you’re not hearing the preacher man talk.
Mostly he talks about how much God really wants to kill you, but, it’s ok, because the preacher man can intercede, and persuade God to leave you alone.
So, you’d better look after the preacher man.
And you need to be reminded of that, regularly, if not frequently.
So, no distractions allowed. Like sex.

There is a recent phenomenon though. In very recent times the number of natal females coming out as trans and wishing they were boys (and yes, that is often how they themselves describe it) has blossomed. This is unusual in the annals of psychology. Previously most of the sex change people were natal males going female, and as adults. And only recently has there been the use of puberty blockers and opposite sex hormones in the young pre-pubertal ones. In America, there has been a lack of psychological assessment prior to medication, and many of these people also contend with autism and depression. So it’s not an ideal situation. In Australia and Europe, psych assessment is mandatory before embarking on the journey.

OK, it’s a big fish. And, the Japanese are really good at slicing stuff thinly.
But, i wonder how many portions you’d get out of it, and at what price you’d have to sell each portion to make a dollar on a US $1.3 miilion/$AUS 2 million outlay?
Stuff it with a kilo of garlic, 10 lemons and a bottle of mixed herbs, wrap the whole lot in tinfoil and cook for 24hours.
Sell sniffs for $1 each. Once you have your profit, invite your mates around and scoff the lot.
I have to get 2,000,001 people to smell my fish to make a buck on it?

Reservoir Dogs, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, but the most recent thing I saw him in was The Death of Stalin, where he played Khruschev. Very good film.
He was also in Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead, which I like but which apparently is not generally well-regarded.

For me they always indicate a special meal with friends where I give them coffee and after dinner mints if they want.
Sttrange as I don’t hate chocolate. It is more that I rarely eat it if there is something else to eat first.

A great many years ago we walked Duke (our first male Boxer) down Fitzroy Street in St Kilda (Melbourne) one evening. mr buffy knew the area because he was stationed at City Branch in the ambulance for some time before we were married. He knew some of the locals. Duke was happy to be friendly with pretty much anyone who came up to him, particularly women, but there was one bloke that he really didn’t want to meet. I have no idea why, but I trusted the instincts of that dog. On another occasion one of our other male Boxers made a particular point of standing between me and someone who wanted to come in our front gate. I took his word for it that I should not spend too long in conversation with that person. Obviously as a dog person I feel I can usually read them. It’s not language so much as body language and knowing the dog so well that you can read them.

And now, that steel can begin to rust.
From that shiny, newly-cut outside surface, with the rust gradually penetrating into the cement, expanding the opening a few molecule-widthsat a time, admitting more oxygen and moisture, making more rust, and continuing the process, until a crack appears in the cement, a crack which continues to grow and grow until, one day…

Answers in Genesis (AiG) is an American fundamentalist Christian apologetics parachurch organization. It advocates young Earth creationism on the basis of its literal, historical-grammatical interpretation of the Book of Genesis and the Bible as a whole. Out of belief in biblical inerrancy, it rejects the results of scientific investigations that contradict their view of the Genesis creation narrative and instead supports pseudoscientific creation science. The organization sees evolution as incompatible with the Bible and believes anything other than the young Earth view is a compromise on the principle of biblical inerrancy.

it’s antisemitic misappropriation anyway, here is an earlier version
There is a well-known story about a rabbi who was called upon to settle a dispute between two of his followers. The first man poured out his complaints to the rabbi, and when he finished, the rabbi said, “You’re right.” Then it was the second one’s turn. When he finished, the rabbi said, “You’re also right.” The rabbi’s wife, who had been listening to the conversation, said incredulously to her husband, “What do you mean, ‘You’re also right’? They can’t both be right!” The rabbi thought for a few moments, and then replied, “You know, my dear, you’re also right.”

Looking for one.. Maybe I’ve mixed 75 with 85,—- years ago?
anuway: In 1998, anthropologist Stanley H. Ambrose of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign hypothesized that the Toba eruption caused a human population crash to only a few thousand surviving individuals, and the subsequent recovery was suppressed by the global glacial condition of MIS 4 until the climate eventually transitioned to the warmer condition of MIS 3 about 60,000 years ago, during which rapid human population expansion occurred.roughbarked said:

Son Finds His Late Dad’s ‘Ghost’ In A Racing Video GameFound this story online by 00WARTHERAPY00 and thought it was related and pretty moving!
“Well, when i was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. you know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001. we had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together – until he died, when i was just 6.
I couldn’t touch that console for 10 years.
But once I did, I noticed something.
We used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge. actually pretty awesome for the time it came.
and once I started meddling around… I found a GHOST.
Literally.
You know, when a time race happens, that the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver? yep, you guessed it – his ghost still rolls around the track today.
And so I played and played, and played, until I was almost able to beat the ghost. until one day I got ahead of it, I surpassed it, and…
I stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure I wouldn’t delete it.
Bliss.”

One strategy for being a ‘good listener’ is to repeat back to the speaker the things that they’re saying. Maybe in a slightly different way, but providing to them confirmation that you’re listening, and that that it’s ok for them to be saying what they’re saying.

I got the joke, but I thought it was rather lame. So I had a go at solving the mathematical puzzle instead.

if the base is a straight line and one angle is 80° then surely the other angle must be 100° to add to 180°. I am hopeless at geometry so might be completely wrong.

anyway that reminds us of this stealth political statement
https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-illusion-of-choice-5224973
The illusion of choice is sometimes used by businesses and corporations to exploit consumers. In a capitalist system, businesses and corporations are motivated by profit and will employ a variety of methods to increase their profits. This can include creating the illusion of choice to make people believe they have more control over their purchase decisions than they actually do. The illusion of choice is also used to keep people from challenging the status quo. If people believe they have choices, then they are less likely to question the system that gives them those choices. This creates a false sense of freedom and democracy that ultimately benefits the ruling class at the expense of the working class.

Male octopuses have a tentacle dedicated to reproduction; it has hair- or cilia-like tendrils instead of suckers. There’s a groove down the middle. When they mate the male waits until the female’s exhaling (breathing water through her gills) and slips the mating tentacle into the opening. The sperm packet is shot (it’s jet-propelled) into the female’s gills, where she can hold it for years.

in that case you can’t invert them… once I sewed a cat to a canary (or was it the other way round? I can’t remember) and then threw them in the air and the canary held its own until the cat landed on its feet… at no point were they inverted..

Was the canary on the cat’s dorsal or ventral side? Was there any buttered toast involved?

ventral.. it did not enjoy the landing.. no toast was harmed in the experiment.

the cat may have been force fed by the dog, but it definitely exited from the cat. That was a difficult day for the cat (aside from the canary corpse hanging from it)

Indeed, as far as I know, sexual reproduction came around (so to speak) at least 1.2 billion years ago, if not earlier. (But not prematurely, rumor has it).
https://www.cambridge.org/…/E61F0C87E1F2CD5A622AEF57ADC…
How-the-eff-eva, not all species that do sexually reproduce use sex organs. (Those poor wankers…) Technically, sexual reproduction is merepy the formation of offspring using genetic material from two parents. After all, organisms like plants, fungi, and protists all have sex without bumping sex organs. So, no “joy-ning” for them. buh-dum-bum-tss
Copulating with external genitalia likely came around (so to speak, again) shortly after some animals decided to ditch the water and give dry land a try. I don’t know of any hard evidence (so to speak, again) for when external genitals penetrated their way onto the evolutionary scene—-but we have evidence for terrestrial animals as far back as 450 million years ago.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14731304/
Concerning descended testicles, I am not sure… 65 million years might be “ball-ucks” for all I know. slaps knee Descended testes occur in mammals, but it isn’t clear if mammals started that way or developed this feature later. However, it seems some early mammals lost the trait for descended testes between 23 and 83 million years ago, suggesting mammals started “hanging loose” sometime before.

The original position (OP), often referred to as the veil of ignorance, is a thought experiment often associated with the works of American philosopher John Rawls. In the original position, one is asked to consider which principles they would select for the basic structure of society, but they must select as if they had no knowledge ahead of time what position they would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a “veil of ignorance”, which prevents them from knowing their ethnicity, social status, gender, and (crucially in Rawls’s formulation) their or anyone else’s ideas of how to lead a good life.

partially but it still has to be shared among the entire society
in the details of original veil of ignorance position they say it is the way to come up with the most fair society according to the philosopher
our interpretation of this thing is you can imagine for example the 2.6e7 people in Australia, you get to plan Australian society before you get thrown in as one of those 2.6e7 Australians but you don’t know which one, how would you plan it
so obviously we might consider how each person wants to be treated but we’re assuming that we don’t have the resources to give everyone everything they want

The ads for Old El Paso tacos. Soft or hard. Why not both says the little girl.
Ah. I haven’t seen the ads, although I have seen and very occasionally used the brand.
Thank you.

After turning 40 many women have to decide on what cheap, but nutritious, food they can afford to feed the kids. While the dickhead father (who walked out on the family) spends $$ on WWII history books etc and buying equipment for smoking meat or whatever stupid new interest he has (viola making classes). Whilst her brother and mother buy fucking winter coats for the kids and her pain in the arse sister pays the phone bill.

for as long as vaccines require parental consent, removal is not an option. And I agree with not removing children from parents for the most part. I am torn with vaccine, since I support them, but I think removing children from family units has greater issues than anti vaccination agendas.

I just went through my pantry.. the oldest thing in there had a best before date of 2018… it was flax seeds and cocoa nibs from back in the days when I had time to make the kids ‘healthy’ muesli bar snacks and biscuits with oats… (the oats are in an air tight container… with all due respect to the container – the oats should probably be discarded also)

I’m in favour of the Oxford comma (even though Oxford University Press advise against it!) A recent American legal case involved the Oxford (or serial) comma; the fact that it wasn’t used cost a company several million dollars. Roger Casement commented that he was “hanged on a comma”: the lack of a comma in a 1351 statute left the open to interpretation. The Law Lords decided against Casement and hanged him.

nah we think we get what yous mean but we’ren’t satisfied with people only using the cliche as an excuse, we’re saying that change will happen so we may as well make language evolve to become more fit for purpose hence the pressure towards better information interchange, and we’re quite happy for evolution to do what evolution does and sympatrically diverge into SMS forms and technical forms

explained “we’re under pressure to save money and we’re confident this
novel approach will be effective, I mean it’s not rocket surgery, is it”

Their media has to carry a lot of the blame.
You can watch a hour-long American news broadcast, and, between the US news (which can include such significant events as a duck that swallowed a wedding ring) and the reports on American sport, a five-minute summation of what happened elsewhere in the world is considered to be a ‘long’ coverage.

Trained myself to read upside down when I was very young. My sister used to pay me a ha’penny to read a “Little Golden Book” to her. Eventually, she reneged on the deal and only paid me a farthing. But I earned some money, and learnt to read upside down. It was a useful skill when I tutored at uni.

original litho was reverse because it was direct printing from a literal stone. offset litho is readable without contortions as it is indirectly printed, hence “offset”. printing from stones is no longer used commercially yet stones were also used in letterpress printing, though not always actual stone, as a flat surface to compose formes.

I think it had just had a meal & was looking for somewhere to have a nap, so pretty quiet.
Yes. I recall a friend walking in front of me as a brown snake was crossing the path in front of him. I asked, you didn’t react to that snake? He replied, “It wasn’t showing me the sharp end”.
Then as I had to waalk past as well, I looked at the snake which had paused in the garden and was looking at us. Mouth full of mouse. Knowing the sharp end was otherwise occupied, I moved on without any concern.

“Today I adopted a human. It broke my heart to see him so lonely and confused. And suddenly I got his teary eyes to meet mine. I don’t like the smell of sad. I wanted to jump on him so bad. He spoke to me with cuteness and I knew it, I had to rescue him!, that human needed me. So I bark with all my strength, I followed him blocks and blocks.
I got close, I could smell his hands. The human smiled for an instant and when he took me in his arms, I started to feel his ice cream heart warmed. I approached his cheeks and felt a tear roll on them. I looked at him deeply and his response was a brilliant smile. I jumped excited into his arms, I promised to behave, love him forever and never part with his side.
How lucky he was to go through that block, down that street and I feel lucky too.
There were so many people walking around and no one was looking at me. All worried, all in their troubles. Glad no one else chose me Today I saved a life. Today I adopted a human” 🐾 🐕

I’m sure you can still provide support to electorates that are not safe LNP ones. If Dutton wins your daughter’s reproductive health care future is at risk. I have a local friend who has a daughter the same age as your kid. She is looking at their options. New Mexico still is prochoice, but it may change.
The various laws in various US states right now are so convoluted and difficult to interpret that many doctors are stuck when providing ccare. They have to consult the hospital lawyers, sometimes that delay results in a woman dying.
It doesn’t matter about the heartbeat of the miscarried fetus. There are states where the woman may be investigated as to why she had a miscarriage.
Women are being denied basic aftercare such as D&Cs. They are hemorrhaging and dying. They are dying from infections from incomplete evacuation of the womb.
It is really dangerous.

Who would anyone want to make their car, which was designed and marketed for its handling, handle worse?

The frequency illusion (also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon) is a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it.

Apparently, in Germany, the swastika is referred to as the ‘hakenkreuz’, except when it’s being mentioned in the context of Nazism, when it’s called the ‘swastika’.
What i want to know is: how often does the mention of a swastika come up in conversation when it’s not in connection with Nazism? What is it about Germany that they mention the symbol often enough to need a different word for it?

I suggest you familarise yourself with the history of that symbol. It’s centuries, possibly millennia, old, and an important part of several religions and cultures. See, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fylfot is about a similar, but also very old, symbol.

Yeah, i know that, from Asia to Native Americans, and all that.
My point is: how often do you or i have occasion to refer to that symbol in a context which is not related to Nazism? Do we do that so often that we feel a need for a word to use to dissociate the symbol from that context? If i talk about the use of a swastika in ancient India, no-one assumes i’m talking about Hitler etc.
What the hell are the Germans chatting about, and so frequently that it needs its own word?

I think you have that backwards. The Hakenkreuz is specifically the Nazi symbol, while swastika is the more generic term.
While it might not have much use to the general public, people in the fields archeology or design or Asian culture etc would have need to discuss this ancient symbol outside of its, relatively recent, Nazi connotations.

WIKI says: Skateboarding emerged in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Initially called “sidewalk surfing,” it was a way for surfers to recreate the exhilaration of riding waves on land. The sport’s development led to significant advances in skateboard design and the emergence of distinct skating styles. The use of polyurethane wheels in the early 1970s further contributed to skateboarding’s popularity.

Nothing to do with Avril Lavigne

Ten quid from the bank and I got out of town with relief
And slowly but surely my life came to flower again
Falling head over heels for a beautiful girl on the train
She was reading a book, taking in every word the man wrote
And there in the margin she made the occasional note
And I couldn’t deduce why she didn’t once blink with surprise
As fathom by fathom I gradually drowned in her eyes
But she kept on the job of improving her single-track brain
Ploughing steadily onward through obsolete Monsieur Verlaine
While no further than seven-foot-six from her fabulous mouth
Sat the leading young poetic hope of the whole planet earth
Well apart from the chance of the driver accepting a cheque
For crashing his loco so I could be brave in the wreck
To boldly encounter this creature was not in my power
And so my heart mended and broke in the course of an hour
Well at last we pulled in and as straight as a three-sided knife
She got up and walked like a princess away from my life
And unless she remembers the day she was reading Verlaine
In a second-class coach on her way through the fields in the rain
She won’t know it’s her that I sing to again and again
Again and again

One of my bosses, in recent years, asked me, ‘why are you not higher up in management? You’re quite smart enough to get promoted’.
My answer: ‘i’m smart enough to not seek promotion’‘.
Honestly, the thought of having to attend endless rounds of meetings with some of the clowns who’d managed to float to the top of the septic tank was so very off-putting.
There was some who were quite good, but the were like waves dashing themselves against a seawall of institutionalised dumbness. Not encouraging.

Oh, yes, you can buy all sorts of shite beer here, but there’s not a lot of it on tap.
There was a carton i bought on the Gold Coast, a brand i hadn’t heard of, but i was in an experimental mood, and they were having an ‘introductory’ special.
It turned out to be tasteless. No good tate, no bad taste. Just no taste at all. It was, basically, slightly-alcoholic fizzy water. And no-one to who i offered a sample of it could detect any flavou, either.
Haven’t seen it since. Can’t recall the name of it, but would know it if i saw it again, which i hope i never do.

Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind” is a towering achievement in American literature. Published in 1936, this sweeping epic of the American South during the Civil War and Reconstruction won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937.
The novel’s protagonist, Scarlett O’Hara, became an iconic character, embodying resilience and complexity. Despite its monumental success, Mitchell never penned another novel.
Her focus shifted to managing the overwhelming fame and responsibilities that came with her one masterpiece. Like a comet blazing across the literary sky, Mitchell’s brief but brilliant career remains a subject of fascination and speculation.”

DRONE AUDITOR FURIOUS AFTER BUILDING SITE OWNER ALLOWS HIM FULL ACCESS TO PREMISES WITHOUT STARTING AN ARGUMENT OR CALLING POLICE
A drone auditor with a YouTube account was left feeling ‘utterly furious’ on Saturday afternoon after a building site owner allowed him to have full and unimpeded access to his premises without starting an argument or calling the police.
Dave Fuch-Weet, who runs DFW Auditz, arrived at the location in Middle Wakering without giving any advanced warning, and he told our chief reporter that the owner’s pleasant nature and full willingness to co-operate was ‘disgusting.’
He added, ‘I don’t even have any batteries in my drone so what was I supposed to do? Fly it and make a video? What’s the point in that?’
‘In a last-ditch attempt to provoke an angry confrontation for clicks I told him that I was a ‘freeman of the land’ and all he did was shake my hand and start a conversation about the origins of the term and the history of the United Kingdom and how its laws have been shaped since the Middle Ages.’
‘What a complete b*****d!’

Marine’s tattoo reads ‘You’ll never walk’ after amputation
While serving as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan, Andy Grant lost his leg after standing on a mine.
Six years on, not only has the 26-year-old learnt how to walk, he won a couple of gold medals at the recent Invictus Games.
And one of the Liverpool fan’s reasons for his success? A recent edit on one of his tattoos.
While having his leg amputated, Andy lost the word ‘alone’ from his ‘You’ll never walk alone’ tattoo by his knee.

It really is strange that when etymologists make decisions about the spelling and letter use for transposing existing languages with certain rules, like Latin or Greek sometimes seem to decide ‘hey let’s adapt this spelling system but randomly include superfluous consonants. I mean a person with knowledge of Germanic dialects and French could make reasonably correct assumptions on how English would be pronounced but would find Gaelic bewildering.

A bit similar to the situation with Skowronek, a famous Arabian stallion from Poland imported to Crabbet stud in England. His name is not pronounced phonetically… it’s very much compressed to a sort of gargling noise with nek at the end… I think.

Like the sound “kii”, from the Estonian word “kiisu” for pussy, “kass” means cat. It’s not pronounced “key”, it’s a guttural noise like a cat about to spew up a fur ball.
We named a cat Kiisuka for pussy cat. My sons wanted to name her “_____ “ no sound just a facial expression of someone saying “cat”. So I dragged out my father’s Estonian dictionary to look up words so as to come to a compromise.
That’s why I spell it with a lowercase “k”, it’s not a proper noun.

Maybe she’s telling us she doesn’t want us to go out.. or maybe she just wants to know when we go out… she voluntarily moves by the time the garage door is open and we have started the car…

Cthulhu Mythos, H P Lovecraft.
In “The Call of Cthulhu”, H. P. Lovecraft describes a statue of Cthulhu as: “A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind.” A carving of Cthulhu is described thus: “It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings.

There’s a fellow I’m seeing a film with this afternoon – I think he’s the last film reviewer in Adelaide that actually gets paid for it – I’ve been his “Plus One” the last ten years (he’s got the tickets, I’ve got the wheels)…now HE is the knowledgable one (problem is, he likes everyone to know it and sometimes doesn’t quite know when to shut up about it)

I wrote qute a number of the film reviews for the NSW Inst. of Technology student paper back in the 1970s/early 80s. Christiane F., Time Bandits, The China Syndrome are a few i recall.
A mate was the ‘official’ reviewer (and an AFI member), but he often had more films to see than he could manage, so i’d go and ‘substitute’ for him.
Between us, we got rather well praised for the reviews we wrote.

Obviously the AI felt compelled to provide the correct answer, but then added a fake explanation as a little joke.
ah but
Haha, I see what you’re going for! If we’re talking about the 1995 movie Heat, then no,
@klara_sjo isn’t in it—she’s a researcher, not an actor. The film stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, not Klara.
Now, if you mean “in heat” like the animal term, that doesn’t apply to humans, so I’ll spare us the biology lesson. Either way, I’m guessing you’re just having a laugh, and I’m happy to play along! Did I pass the test? 😄
wait doesn’t it

Also known as ‘Jugs’. Short for Juggernaut.
Was designed around the biggest engine and propellor they could manage. Which, naturally, made them big aeroplanes. A well-worn joke was that the pilot could evade enemy fire by releasing his harness, and running around inside the cockpit.
There was all sorts of ducting underneath the cockpit, leading to oil coolers and superchargers and what-not. Much appreciated when it came time to land, and the wheels were not in a mood to participate.
A conversation about the plane between an American and a British pilot (could look up who, can’t be bothered): American: ‘Gosh, she sure can dive!’. British: “She ought to, because she can’t bloody climb!’.
P-47 Thunderbolts were in service with some South and Central American air forces into the late 1960s, and possibly the early 70s.
