What about the ******** who were with her in those other cars?

A Garmin Varia radar works well for this. Advance warning of traffic behind you. I like mine so much I feel way more exposed when I forget it.

The driveway alarm has proved to be 100% accurate for only people stepping onto the driveway so I’m happy about that. No animals or shadows/sun or anything else have tripped it. What this means is that if it goes off at night I can be 100% sure there’s someone on my driveway and then get the...

No, it’s nitrogen tri-iodide. However, if you don’t know what you’re doing it will happily take your fingers off. https://www.chemedx.org/video/nitrogen-triiodide-detonation

Those particular civilians haven’t ever had a normal life. That’s the problem.

Well, it may seem reasonable and measured right now but Israel just stepped down to wrestle with a pig. Everyone gets covered in **** when that happens, especially if that pig really was the originator of the IED.

Absolutely. But I’d like to think we learned as we evolved. The bombing of Dresden is still a really raw point among modern Germans even though they hate the Nazis as much as the Brits did. I was trying to think of the worst modern case and maybe Bloody Sunday was as close as I could get or...

The IRA hid in Dublin. I’m having a really hard time remembering when the British army levelled the city?

That’s an acceptable response for an equivalence that would take severe mental gymnastics to twist about and to be fair, when it comes to the Middle East and this eternal issue, “ok” is about as good as we can get at times. Complete and utter clusterfuck from the 1940’s onwards.

You’d have a great point if Israel hadn’t actually been doing that too with nearly every hospital that isn’t theirs.

The ones on land that isn’t mostly theirs?

If you don’t prepare it’s a zoo. Not the worst airport I’ve ever been to though. That would be Miami. The staff there just don’t give a ****. They didn’t prioritize passengers with slim connections or anything. Saw tons of people miss flights because the security line wasn’t operated...

I’ve had pleasant and not so pleasant experiences at Pearson. Weirdly, the pleasant ones are the more recent ones. Speedy passage through security, bags picked up in record time. Once I think I was out with checked bags within 30 mins from getting off the plane. The key was using the app that...

Worst for me are cured meats like salami. Cuts of beef aren’t far behind but the odd burger doesn’t seem to set things off. Whisky seems to be iffy. The meds I have take a while to work but hoping things go somewhat back to normal soon.

It’s basically a no-fun ailment. I cut out red meat and cured meats. That helps a lot. Alcohol is a life necessity for my particular life so that is sacrosanct.

Thanks. Just started medication for it but have also discovered that the meds make it worse before it gets better. Like some kind of cruel joke.

Didn’t feel like it but proud of myself for getting on the bike and cycling to work. Got a bad, bad gout flare at work and wondered if I’d get my cycling shoes back on or if I’d need to call my wife to come and get me and the bike but I cycled home and felt proud again! Foot is swelling up...

They killed 9 people that believe in martyrdom. Clever stunt but it was a one hit wonder and it will result in a total change to internal security when they could have just listened in to every message sent from now until whenever.

Oh I know. Same here. We should have no-slip paint though…seems simple enough.
