I had a Seiko for 20+ years. I just loved their no nonsense designs. But recent experience buying over the 'net from a UK supplier was not good - maybe I was sold a fake (twice!) - it happens.

C'mon, that's not a real recipe? No backstory, no cute tale about how your great-Granny delivered and fed a family of 12 on the Oregon Trail on something almost, but not entirely unlike this? And lots of Amazon affiliate links on each of the many pages before the mark gets to the actual recipe? Sad!

Do you regard dementia as "a chronic childhood disease"? How strange! There is some correlation between aluminium traces in the brain and dementia, but it's not clear that it's the cause.

I wonder if he believes that? Someone made the point that a 1500% reduction would mean the pharma companies "would be paying consumers" haha, but now Trump is babbling those exact words! He often seems to riff on whatever he heard last when the hamster rubbing his brain takes a break.

And Caligula had a horse as Senator, not horses' asses. But he did shag his sister, and then abort her child (and her), so there's that. Robert Graves didn't set down if Nero or Caligula had a habit of walking in on teenage girls' changing rooms though.
