Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)
Don Edwards replied to The Old Hack's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Fundamentally, she was appointed to be their nominee for President by the party leadership that (IMHO) has been doing since at least the 1970s pretty much every totalitarian or corrupt thing they're accusing Trump of. (Without regard to whether their accusations are true. Some of them definitely are. For example, two of Trump's White House advisors went to prison for ignoring Congressional subpoenas. The puzzle there is why two Democrat Attorneys General also ignored Congressional subpoenas, and didn't even get their hands slapped.) In principle, I like this idea. It SHOULDN'T matter what race etc. someone is, at least not to the point of creating selective lists and having masses of people care about those lists. However... .... it's too soon. Race etc. STILL DOES matter. And just making those selective lists go away, won't speed the day when nobody cares. -

The sad thing is, while I agree with everything you said about Trump, I still think he's better than the alternative we were offered. Or, at least, he was better. Up until 2021 or so. Not so sure about now, and it isn't because of improvements on the other side; if anything, they got worse, and he may be just as bad as they are now. -
Perhaps she & Tedd have fun with the mirror...

Prof, it sounds like a good time to visit (and hopefully see) an ophthalmologist... -
There will be an earthquake tomorrow. Where, how big, I don't know. Whether it will be detectable without seismographs, I don't know (probably not). You can believe this prediction. It isn't very useful, though. (There have been at least five earthquakes in the US's 48 contiguous states within the last 24 hours. Two in California, one each in Texas, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The two biggest ones — Texas and Wyoming — measured M 3.7.)

Or perhaps taken some with you, so you could take it if needed. (If it would take effect quickly enough to help. On that, I have not the slightest clue.)

These tiny flies. They seem to be attracted to sources of moisture - the sink, the toilet, my tea, my food, up my nose...

The one situation where the "examine yourself in a mirror" cliché actually works in a story. (It normally doesn't work because it's used as a tool to work in a description of the character's normal appearance, but what the character would be looking at/for is differences from their normal appearance — usually, differences they don't want and will need/wish to correct.) -
Yeah, if proportions are kept, tiny creatures are absurdly strong relative to their size. I had to figure some of this out recently for a story, and found that Barbie, being 11 inches tall, should weigh 13.4 ounces and be able to carry 37 ounces. And if you think that's bad, Tinkerbell - 5 inches tall - should weigh 1.3 ounces and be able to walk around (but not fly) carrying 8 ounces. Personally I think she'd have a tough time keeping that weight balanced. (How does this work out? If you multiply the height by 1/2, keeping the same density and *all* the same proportions, you multiply the cross-sectional area of bones and muscles and a bunch of other stuff, and thus the strength, by 1/4 - and the mass by 1/8.) But none of that would allow squirrel-Grace to move something weighing 500 pounds.

Yeah, I've heard from several sources that if you have a herd of goats and you don't have an escape artist, then you have two escape artists. And then there's this story...

Aren't these games supposed to be weird?

That case to the right of the computer console wasn't there earlier. In its place was a much taller cabinet. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual computer is intact. I also wouldn't be surprised if Tedd has good backup discipline - possibly because their father and/or Mr. Arthur insist on it - and there's a backup in a location somewhere outside the house, said location known only to Tedd and maybe their father. (For that matter, I wouldn't be surprised if DGB computer-tech people have visited and planted a worm in Tedd's computer, so they have a complete & current copy of its contents at headquarters.)

By the way, that "let them eat cake" thing was not quite as stupid as it sounds. (Still pretty stupid though.) At the time, France had a law specifying the price of bread - a rather cheap price, leaving barely any profit for the baker. The law also specified that if a bakery had any product on the shelves for sale, then they had something that could be bought for the mandated price of bread. No bread? But there's a cake, so the peasant who came in with just enough cash for a loaf of bread gets to eat cake. (And bakers were eager to bake enough bread that they wouldn't get bit by that law.) The concern, though, was for the peasants who didn't have the coin for a loaf of bread. -
Cats, like pretty much every other mammal and lots of non-mammal critters, need a small amount of salt. However, their biology is about as bad at detecting and signalling "that's ENOUGH salt, stop now!" as ours.
