They are worried that others will treat them like they want to treat minorities.

Where was America when the freedom fries fell?

I've learned that

Hospital = Krankenhaus = Sick House

Ambulance = Krankenwagen = Sick Wagon

It actually makes sense.

English has “plaything”, which is kinda similar.

With a solid podcast under my belt, apparently proven wrong with vigorous research.

Easily. They cost a small fortune unfortunately. Look up Canada Goose parkas. Or Outdoor Survival Canada.

I read/skimmed the first 2 because they really went on. They seem to be reaching hard. A whole lot of flowery language to evoke an emotional response of unease. If they had anything real they would have gotten to the point. The only thing that was concrete (that I saw) was he said a study was on humans when it was on rats. Testing on rats is common and he could have misremembered.

*I did a ctrl+f on "Sarah" (his partner) and it comes up 56 times. Sure whatever form of cheating is bad, but this is the exact emotional stuff they went for. That's the kind of article it is. Fifty six times.

Tell him the best employees will quit. The rest will be too burnt out to actually do anything truly productive.

 

Found the audiobook on youtube https://youtu.be/taZ84g9RJJw Wondering if it's a good listen.

Wiki says it's after the movie "Generations" and the Borg take Kirk's body.

 

An oldie but a goodie.

Sounds like it's a quick primary? So will VPs be picked before the nomination is finalized? Can multiple candidates pick the same VP? If after the nomination, it has to be pretty fast. Pick the second place finisher?

Not getting much by Googling.

If not, what's the ETA?

 

Mercury poisoning of hat-makers – In 18th and 19th century England, mercury was used in the production of felt, which was commonly used in the hat-making trade at the time. Long-term use of mercury products often resulted in mercury poisoning-induced erethism among hat-makers.[1][2] In the late 19th-century United States, a notable example occurred in Danbury, Connecticut, where hat making was a major industry. Instances of erethism were so widespread among hat-makers, the condition became known locally as the "Danbury Shakes." It was characterized by slurred speech, tremors, stumbling, and in extreme cases hallucinations.

 

I found this fascinating, and interesting history.

Or to load a whole bunch at once so you can Ctrl+F? I used to use RES on the other site to do that.

Maximum, that is.

1 child policy from 1979 to 2015.

2 child policy from 2015 to 2021.

3 child policy since 2021.

The announcement came after the release of the results of the Seventh National Population Census, which showed that the number of births in mainland China in 2020 was only 12 million, the lowest number of births since 1960, and the further aging of the population, against which the policy was born.[5] This was the slowest population growth rate China experienced.[6]

Although the CCP government had high expectations for the new policy,[16] in a 2021 online poll conducted by the state media Xinhua on its Weibo account, using the hashtag #AreYouReady for the new three-child policy, about 29,000 out of 31,000 respondents stated they would "never consider it."[15]
