Oh, we're on the mend, but we're not as young as we'd like to be, so it's taking time. Getting old is not so great, but it's better than the alternative. ๐คฃ

A granola-type cereal - can be made fresh and kids seem to like it, with or without milk. Rolled oats, grated apples and pears, chopped fresh or dried fruit, yogurt & nuts optional. It's cheap, quick and yummy.

"Payments stopped" for dead soldiers because their bodies can't be recovered is the least problem here. 90% KIA is a bit more serious for the Russians.
Sue (@suezw.bsky.social) reply parent
"Sanitize" is one of those feel-good marketing-type words. It just means clean. It isn't hard to see that mass-production can easily spread pathogens, especially resistant ones.

Trump had a light bulb moment in public when he repeated the Russian propaganda trope about Zelenskyy not being the legitimate president of Ukraine. Zelenskyy replied that their constitution forbids elections during wartime...and Trump got a bee in his bonnet from then on.

That was the KGB method back in the day. There used to be bans on government employees and some businessmen travelling to the Eastern Bloc (as it was called) for this reason. One I recall says he woke up next to an apparently dead prostitute and was hustled away by a "friend". ๐

There's not much reason for him to be publicly emotional. There's far too much of that going on already, don't you find? Our situation in Canada is not good, in reality, but we're more united than in my lifetime.

J.K. Galbraith: "Among all the world's races...Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels...that tendency is impressive. It is rather that so much of what they themselves believe is wrong."

The secret, iirc, is that a lot of people came from Bangladesh in the 1970s (for obvious reasons) and many of them opened restaurants catering to the student/pub trade. (They have since gone up market.) It was said at the time that there were more "Indian" restaurants in the UK than in India.

I live just across the St. Lawrence River from Waddington, NY, a tiny US village. They sound their emergency siren every day at noon. I believe they've been doing it since the Cold War. It is used to call the volunteer fire department into action, if needed.
