Did you have a point relevant to UPF? The fact that my post above had maybe 9 upvotes and 12 downvotes does show that some folks found it helpful. In the early days of the publicly-available internet, folks tried to help each other. Now the world is on the edge of WWIII and folks are beating folks down where they think they can. I kinda miss the old internet. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hilarious? Folks don’t usually downvote things that make them laugh. It was my belief that putting a link up as a follow up to his question was helpful.

Not quite the same topic, but certainly related, Hidden history of corporations in the U.S.

I’m vaguely recalling a Jim Carry line from Bruce Almighty, “Smite them oh mighty smiter!”

Here’s another similar image

I’m guessing it’s image manipulation, but he might actually have a eye pointing disorder. hehe

China seems to be succeeding in EV vehicles, not just cars, airplanes too. I’m sorta pining for the days when we were talking about a North America Union. These days its all about protectionism and wars. :(

I don’t even know what an “ultra processed food” •IS•.

Haywood Stokes Jr., his father, had previously been mayor of the rural Black Belt town.

Gotta watch out for all those Martial Arts experts! 🤣

In this decision, which is linked in the first paragraph of the article, it says a public school must be nonsectarian.

There are more people in the world than ever before and we have folks writing news stories telling us there’s a crisis building and that we need to have more kids?

They’re farming us like ranch animals.

I note the article doesn’t name the school. My thought process that led to this was on the first reading I noted it said it was a charter school. Charter schools were sold by our legislatures as being hybrid public-private schools that lacked religion.

I think this charter school is crossing some lines that were promised wouldn’t be crossed when charter schools were approved by legislatures. Those kids need to find a more accepting environment, they’re currently being harmed.

Yours is an interesting viewpoint. Should athletic competitions also include heat tolerance?

You mean this article?

I sure don’t want U.S. weapons going to genocide an entire people, but I also doubt Netanyahu’s assertion.

The world will continue to get hotter year by year until climate change is solved. I’d fully expect to see more AC use, not less. This won’t be limited just to athletes, but it will be limited by affordability.

Irony: Most expensive healthcare in the world and an anti-abortion healthcare crisis.

“There’s a built-in assumption that there’s nothing at all weird about viewing the US as sort of an open field for Israel to operate in, that there are no limitations,” said Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.

Does the U.S. citizen get “No taxation without representation”, or does Israel get “representation without taxation”?

I’ve never understood the need for a downpayment to purchase. If you can make the monthly payments that’s all that should matter.

Well, there is the pic of dry ground coffee as well as the text that mentions ounces instead of fluid ounces.

Pre-ground coffee was commonly sold in metal cans that required a can opener.
