  • Is it reasonable to double the fines for each act of defamation? Or should the multiplier be larger?

  • I live in a town that's so casual, people wear PJs, or whatever they want, whenever or wherever. And it's ok.

  • I'll be down to have lunch with you erry-day. :-D

  • Bah! Missed that. Thanks for the catch! I was looking for nifty things blue cheeses did nutritionally. Mostly seems they are just cheese.

  • " Believed to have originated in a cave in Roquefort, France, blue cheese is available in a handful of varieties including gorgonzola, stilton, and cambozola. The blue veins characteristic of blue cheese develop from the bacteria Penicillium Roqueforti that grow within small punctures created on top of the cheese loaves at the beginning of the cheese ripening process.

    Though blue cheese is typically high in sodium, it is rich in dairy protein, dietary fats, and essential vitamins and minerals including calcium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, and vitamin A. What makes each variety different is the type of milk used, the length of ripening, and the result texture and flavor."

    Mmmm, cheese.

  • Actual, significant jail time, please. Effing traitors.

  • Can confirm, I received this message approximately 180 minutes after you sent it. Strong Work!

  • Thank you for using cromulent. Words die if they aren't used.

  • I can't fathom Guiliani's strategy in annoying the judge. smh.

  • Cool, so a real Doctor, then. ;-) I had a thing for getting letters after my name, and reached a certain goal, then gave up on the ego.

  • I saw something like this, which piped exhaust from a generator thru a container of water and algae, with the idea to capture the co2, etc produced. Sure why not. I'll still prefer trees.

  • That cracked me up, too!

  • I could start spending my time bashing various professions, I suppose, but I've got better things to do. However, since you are obviously interesting in people being ripped off, injured or killed here's this, the first article that came up on search from PubMed:

    Our prescription drugs kill us in large numbers
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25355584/

    Abstract

    Our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States and Europe. Around half of those who die have taken their drugs correctly; the other half die because of errors, such as too high a dose or use of a drug despite contraindications. Our drug agencies are not particularly helpful, as they rely on fake fixes, which are a long list of warnings, precautions, and contraindications for each drug, although they know that no doctor can possibly master all of these. Major reasons for the many drug deaths are impotent drug regulation, widespread crime that includes corruption of the scientific evidence about drugs and bribery of doctors, and lies in drug marketing, which is as harmful as tobacco marketing and, therefore, should be banned. We should take far fewer drugs, and patients should carefully study the package inserts of the drugs their doctors prescribe for them and independent information sources about drugs such as Cochrane reviews, which will make it easier for them to say "no thanks".

    It is a free article, so you can read the whole thing, if you wish to be better informed.

    The second one is from US News and World Report:

    Death by Prescription

    Enjoy.

  • They are soooo delicious! Whenever I'm in the PacNW I try to find some to eat. Tho' it seems like the locals just treat them like a nuisance.
