My symptoms started the day after the shot, and over 2 years before I had Covid. I've been to the ER 3 times since then for related symptoms and had bunches of tests and scans. I didn't just guess, or make it up. I've got the reports... To be clear, that's one man's experience and YMMV. But it may explain why mRNA uptake isn't what it used to be.

Ask for it back. She may even throw it at you. If she wants to keep it, write it off and get on with your life. AFAIK, there is no "customary practice" related to engagement rings in Thailand. In either case, take the life lesson, for the next time. You'll have to work out what that life lesson is, based on your own beliefs and code. Don't live someone else's beliefs, as some on her would shame you into doing.

You can have mine, too. I still haven't recovered from my 2nd Pfizer, 3-1/2 years ago. Probably never will, according to my doctors. Or maybe I will. They just don't know... They don't have the data on long term effects. They'd have to put a gun to my head to get me to take another mRNA product of any kind.

From the AP article linked in a post above: The Palm Beach County sheriff said the entire golf course would have been lined with law enforcement if Trump were the president, but because he is not, “security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.”

From the Hur Report: Evidence supports the inference that when Mr. Biden said in 2017 that he had "just found all the classified stuff downstairs" in Virginia, he was referring to the same marked classified documents about Afghanistan that FBI agents found in 2022 in his Delaware garage. He came clean 5 years later, under duress. I wonder if the FBI went through Dr Jill's underwear drawers?

I know I'd be putting on a fresh pair of BVDs if someone came after me with an AK47.

What's despicable is sending another 1/4 to 1/2 million Ukrainians to die for a war that's already lost, at the risk of setting off WW3 and Armageddon. Fighting for a more corrupt government, and a lower standard of living than they'd have if they laid down their arms and started rebuilding today.

How about Ukrainians get to stop dying and start rebuilding what's left? Maybe they'll have the semblance of an economy in a few years. Push Putin too far, and he'll have to take Kiev. Scorched earth style. He's been fighting with kid gloves, in hopes of having peace and some kind of relationship with Ukraine when the dust settles. Poke the bear too much, kill Russkies far into Russia, and he'll have no choice but to go full Red Army- like 1945. How did that work out for the Germans? And that doesn't even address the possibility that some idiot on one side or the other will accidentally, or negligently spark off Armageddon.

Putin faked toward Kiev to scare Zelenskyy and company into packing up and moving to one of their foreign mansions. It didn't work because Nuland et. al. convinced Zelenskyy to stay and fight.

Then it is over. Ukraine lost. Over a year ago. Look at the map from 2023 and today. Other than the idiot incursion into Kursk, what has Ukraine gained back? The death and destruction since then has been futile.

Quick question... How long do you figure Israel will last if the US military is 110% consumed in a Euro war, and there's no $$$ to bribe, cajole and threaten Israel's Muslim neighbors to play nice?

Ukraine has already lost the war. There is no way they can win back the Donbass and Crimea in a land war without drawing in NATO, and that means WW3. I want the dying to stop and the spending turned from futile fighting and dying, to reconstruction. The sooner the better. I don't celebrate Russia's win. But it's the reality on the ground.

Finally got around to watching the 5 question interview and thought, "Meh". Then I watched a Fox montage of her alleged answers to the 5 questions, and they were, almost verbatim, her answers to different questions during the debate. It's as if she has rehearsed a dozen taking points and that's her answer, no matter what question she's asked. She didn't provide a direct answer to a single one of the 5 questions. Just rambling about her origin story and how much she cherished family. Some referred to it as filibustering... Now for some trolling... How much do you figure it cost to have a silversmith modify the Nova Audio earpieces to look the same as Tiffany ear rings? Close enough to fool someone who wants to be fooled? https://icebachsound.com/

Watched a dozen documentaries over the past month to find out that climate change is blamed for the plagues of Exodus. It's partially responsible for the movement of people that contributed to the Black Death. The Little Ice Age. It's responsible for the decline of the SW USA's Anasazi culture, and probably the Aztecs and the Incas. The Sahara used to be a lush forest before climate changed. And a dozen other pre-industrial human catastrophes. The operative word there being "pre-industrial" I have no doubt that climate change is real, and it will devastate some cultures, and nurture others. But it was happening for millions (billions?) of years before humans even existed. So I'm not in favor of decimating economies to fight it. We may need that money to care for the victims of the natural climate change. Edit: And it may be handy to have that extra plant food in the atmosphere if people need to start cultivating, for example, Greenland.

I was thinking along these lines. I may make different decisions about powering the A/C, water heaters, etc. if I understood how much each one was costing me. Also, to look for any parasitic losses, phantom loads, leaks to ground, etc. https://www.amazon.com/SIEMENS-Smart-Home-Electricity-Monitoring/dp/B0CTTSC7DR

Nice try, no cigar. That wasn't the point you were making as you admitted earlier. Literally, I don't know how I could have been more consistent with those 2 statements.

I love the idea of a smart home. I was starting a project with Sonoff gear in Texas just before I got called back to China on my GF's health issues. So don't take this question as dissing smart homes. I love the concept. Have you noticed anything hinky, as if Google is listening to you and steering you toward advertisements, etc? I see YouTubes where people will talk at home about (for example) kayaks, and the next time they get on their smartphone or PC, they get inundated with kayak ads. Has that happened to you? On the next level, is anyone monitoring their power with the current transformers (CTs) on each leg in the breaker box? I'm wondering if there's any "bestest" system for that?

The point I was making is that the only thing he's been convicted of is a NY state crime. The president can't pardon him there. The federal charges are running off him like water off a duck Springfield goose, due to SCOTUS decisions and conscientious judges... Ask Biden how he feels about Dem Elites... I'd post links to the insider rumors, but they'd be from unapproved sources. The MSM won't cover it until after Nov 6. A curious sort could find them easily enough.

Maybe she's playing 3 dimensional chess. That cat faux pas has everyone in the country talking about what happens to a town as a result of the Harris/Biden open borders. And they're wondering if their town is next to fall. Accidental, sure. Or was it next level genius? I've never seen so many memes come out in such a short time as Trump with cats and geese. Or maybe she is just a bimbo. I don't follow her at all. She's certainly not hard to look at.

Maybe not, but you can bet the farm they'd be investigating Musk or Rogan if they drove that much traffic to the website. Or maybe put them on the terror watchlist, like they did to Tulsi. (If they haven't already for Musk or Rogan. The difference is Musk and Rogan probably don't fly commercial like Gabbard)

Look up lagniappe. It's either a freebee to engender goodwill, or a free sample to advertise D-nee baby wipes. Maybe both. Edit: Of course, that assumes you also got what you ordered. If not, that's a well reported scam.

Good point. I concede that one to you. But the Dem elite won't let Harris pardon Trump, because it's not just about Trump. It's a warning to any outsider not to crap in our mess kit, or we'll destroy you. Biden may pardon Trump, because the Dem elite have nothing they can hold over him. And he's pretty pissed at them. But if Harris is elected, she's got to worry about support from the Dem elite, and a 2nd term. They can throw her under a bus and they'd be just as happy with Walz as their cutout.

Someone is going to vomit out that the difference is that Biden cooperated, completely ignoring the fact that Biden admitted to having classified documents in the basement back in 2017 and didn't "cooperate" until 2022. And then, only under duress. I contend that the real difference is that president Trump had the authority to declassify anything he wanted. Ex-senator Biden wasn't even allowed to have those documents outside the SCIF, much less in his wide open garage.

Has Trump been convicted of any federal charges that the president can pardon him for?

Every president in my lifetime has gotten into a kerfuffle about taking their personal papers when they left the White House. Trump's the only one that's been prosecuted for it. Dismissing the case was the only way the American legal system could work properly.
