this era is going to be a treasure trove of speeches to look back on.

wait. if jesus is a christian is god a jew?

Eyup. I often write here that citizens respect the constitution, patriots defend it, and traitors violate it. In the us anyway.

Looks like the picture is from the helicopter or even a ship after rescue judging by the background. I mean its does not seem to be taken outdoors. So presumably someone gave it to him. That being said it does not correct the patch thing but I would have to trust other peoples things on that. Although that flag on the gul jus to the my left of him seems glaringly wrong. I mean even if the soldier put it on in a hurry like that there is so much time during rescue im sure someone would rib him about it. I guess you can take the super unlikely it feel off just a bit before and he quicly popped it back on. I mean that would be assuming its velcro and not sewn on. I don’t know how those things are. I would think we would hear from the family eventually if it had not happened. Do journalists no longer run and do those kind of checks anymore I mean in the past they would be high tailing it to get that kind of confirmation.

Memorization only works if you know what the questions will be. Granted over time that is the case. Thats one annoying aspect as not only does it favor memorization but it also favors those who were able to find a good set of the questions one way or another. That is the case with regular tests to though as A+ tests get disseminated and people can memorize the “best” answer. One of the classes where people did horrible and thus I did great (at this point classes were hard enough that everything was on a curve) was an immunology course. The professor changed the questions and I will tell you. They are really not much of a change in some cases. Many people who could kick my figuative academic ass in other courses did horribly while I did as well as I ever do. I was in his office after he kicked out of class a question because so many people complained. Im like hey I got that right and there are only so many classes where im the A student. I need this for my grade point.

this. I am horrible at memorizing so I got through trig by deriving everything from the base sine/cosine rules.

Its kinda funny because yeah you can tell stem types because they just hate to say something is definite in either direction. Its like I would have bosses and its like 99% is best your going to get from me. 99% is your super definte locked in absolute. I mean its not because nothing is like that but for how you function yeah that is it. If I say 95% then its like its going to work fine and if not we might need to do some small things to deal with. Lower than that though I would give pause.

Given congress and his cabinet and such im not sure I would do much of any.

celebrate what?

I have been broadening my criteria. Some things are casual conversation and if a person is responding like comments are about something is a statement about the definitive definition of something and its like ugh. im sick of this.

no body text appears for me. I would be annoyed at an automated one. The body to me is supposed to be the start of the conversations from the poster.

with a female dog its a bit hard to tell. At night I often have to check the area she was in just in case. So if you see them pee then you know the sex. I was not commenting on your ability to. You know I sorta took your question to be a general thing. Like most people in general can’t but if you own one you are a bit more likely to but even then to just glance at a dog and know its sex is basically a superpower to me. I had someone comment like I was making a definitive statement about the human capacity to tell the sex of a dog at a distance.

in the us its a deductible followed by a percentage up to a maximum out of pocket. So you pay 100% up to the deductible which can be a grand or several. Then you pay 20% till max out of pocket which is over 7 grand at this point. That is beyond monthy costs that are creeping toward a grand per person. This is beyond the fact of denials which don’t get taken away from your max out of pocket. So it cost 2 grand a month for my wife and I where my employer payed my monthly costs in 2024. Now keep in mind I have a sick wife so we go max out of pocket every year. But yeah if japan had no max out of pocket we would be screwed at 30%. One surgery would sink you.

this is one of those things you can’t anticipate. you either hold it together or you don’t but its different for different folks and just all sorts of little things can seem to make a difference. some photo you looked at before or such.

eyup. they are all over that christian stuff with the yule log and mistletoe and decroting a tree and being visited by a magical elf lord and having all the holi on the day of christs birth that we all know vaguely coincides with the winter solcstice. so wierd that even though they don’t believe in god they celebrate not just one god but many. Just like the deeply christian japanese are so into it.

well thank satan we did not vote for kamala. she would have attacked iran! /s

youu know the thing is I took the op’s comments to be like in general. I did not mean to suggest its impossible just that most people don’t from a distance without something that would make it more obvious.

we have a local green party so maybe they are just more serious in my area. really its likely a prominence thing where there are not enough greens to have a local party at work in your area.

I kinda would like to see that.

I don’t really get your comment. the dog and generally owner usually around me do not care if you call a girl dog a boy or a boy dog a girl. that is all I meant. it had nothing to do with accuracy on the don’t care part.
