Would a honeypot community help, where anyone visiting a post there gets blocked or tarpitted?

It's not the EU, or anyone outside of Russia, who would 'unleash WWIII'. It's the aggressor's choice, since they started ALL of this, whether that occurs. They could definitively stop this RIGHT NOW by just telling their troops to go home.

He is right. No other nation with self-respect should be granting any state visit from the FOTUS (Felon Of The United States). He is an adversary to us all and should be shunned on the international stage, period.

Tell your US Embassy representatives that you will be happy to reconsider engaging once the leadership has changed.

I do not assert that merely swallowing water with fluoride offers any benefit to do with dental health.

It should be obvious that the act of directly swallowing water containing fluoride would give the water little to no opportunity to interact with one's teeth, which would be required for the intended preventative effect.

This is very similar to the decision by most nations to put low base levels of iodine in table salt. Given peoples' daily habits and diet, it was determined to be a safe and reliable way of ensuring exposure to a needed substance for general health. Not everyone has or will have the discipline to apply fluoridated paste to their teeth regularly (hell, many people don't even brush their teeth regularly!). Nor would many people take steps to ensure they had a recommended dose of iodine if they had to think about it, rather than just getting it through their daily meal ...

It should be clear to anyone that it's the incidental daily, weekly, monthly, yearly cumulative effect of fluoridated water, even in the brief interval before it is swallowed, swishing in the mouth and in direct contact with teeth, that can be of benefit.

Explain to me the science of how municipal fluoridation causes health issues so severe that it should be discontinued.

This is even more nuts than removing fluoride from municipal water systems. At least with that, parents who believe the science that their kids' teeth will be better off with targeted fluoride treatment can buy the drops and tablets, and those who are afraid for some reason can choose to just not use it.

This is just trying to ban access to fluoride entirely, despite research showing its benefits and the distinct lack of significant harm. Madness.

What next, are they going to criminalize sending fluoride drops/pills through the mail, like mifepristone?

Calgary, AB Canada removed fluoride and a decade later added it back after seeing the effects of its absence.

Now leader singer of Styx as well. I hope I can see them before they all retire, missed seeing Gowan doing his solo material when I was younger...

Beat me to it. Anand Giridharadas has spoken on the general scam of billionaires white-washing their legacies like this... their philanthropy seldom approaches, much less exceeds, the harm they did in getting so rich in the first place.

At some point they risk re-enacting that scene with the little girl in "V for Vendetta" where the people have finally had enough with the brownshirts and swarm them. As they deserve IMO.

Still love my Acer Aspire v151, core i5. 11" is a great size, just big enough for a standard keyboard. I wish they would have updated models like that. A Ryzen 9 version would kick ass.

Countdown until Krasnov EOs it to be revoked, forgetting he was the one who signed it into law? Would not surprise me one iota.

TL;DR (but I did read it) - this wasn't an attempt to 'rig' the election or confuse voters. It was done as a rather clever protest of our flawed electoral system and the need for electoral reform. It would be patently obvious all of the other 87 or so names on the ballot were all protest entries and would only take a person about 10 seconds to find PP's name or the few others with official parties on there.

Best book for learning the ins and outs of MIDI I've ever encountered. Relatively obscure, but an invaluable reference book for anyone wanting to dig into the details of how MIDI works.

 

Nothing we apes don't already know (at least those of us who've been here for 84 years or so), but an interesting take from the MSM on it.

The system is rigged, this is one of the reasons why I Buy, HODL, DRS!

 

A wire broke off the ignitor element in our Harman unit. I have ordered a replacement and it looks simple enough to fix myself. But before sourcing the part I had called about 5 different fireplace companies in the area, and it seems everyone has dropped all support for pellet stoves in recent years! Not only does no one sell them any more (other than Canadian Tire), but they all outright refused to even consider sending a repairperson to help.

It's a bit infuriating. I am calling them, literally saying "please come take my money at your standard hourly rate". One would think "struggling businesses" would be more willing to take on what should be profitable work.

Is it such a liability issue for them that they're actually afraid to take on the work?

What if something bigger fails someday on my pellet stove? Why is no one on the island now willing to work on one?

If you know of someone who does still service wood pellet stoves on the island (Courtenay/Comox), please reply here or DM me. Thanks.

What does this mean? New levels of ass-covering for bank malfeasance, or just the regular sort of opacity?
