I will be perfectly honest with you, not that you deserve that with the nonsense you post. I'm not American and really don't give a toss about whomsoever you decide to elect as president, other than the fact that I find it incredible that Americans would vote for a convicted criminal, a compulsive liar, someone who steals from charities and someone who is incredibly dumb. For those reasons mentioned above I don't like Trump, but it would seem that a lot of his redneck and poorly educated followers do, and for the sake of educated and sane Americans, I sincerely hope that Biden is re-elected. However as I have previously stated, as I'm not American, trump voters will be seen for what they are and nothing will change that poor perspective. Also most world leaders view him as a clown and that will never change because of his low IQ. As for the truth, well you wouldn't know the truth if it fell on your head, especially with the amount of lies which emanate from trump and which you believe"bigly". Poor man.

Quoting Faux News again.........see you haven't progressed at all!

Absolutely no problem with that as many people who deliver public speeches do practice for weeks, especially on such an important address. And it was a great speech........eat your heart out trumpies!!! The difference between Biden and trump in that respect is that trump has the IQ and attention span of a gnat, so it doesn't matter how many weeks trump practised for, he still would not get it right and would probably go off onto his rambling nonsensical rhetoric, bigly so, with his wife Mercedes watching on.

Still better to have him as POTUS than the lying, convicted crook, trump. Only a few third-world countries would do that, and then because of threats or bribes, but trump only has lies, lies, lies...........and gullible poorly educated followers who believe them. How far the US has fallen in the eyes of the world.

Thanks for the tip (again) @giddyup and that movie was very timely given the rantings of the lunatic Putin with regards to a nuclear war, and it was harrowing, to say the least. I'm sure I remember seeing a very similar movie in the 60s, but that movie showed more of the effects of the blast on the surrounding areas/people, however that was still unnerving. I went to the Memorial Gardens in Nagasaki a while back and if one ever wanted to see the effects of a nuclear bomb/explosion, then it was there for all to see and again it was something you couldn't imagine in your worst dreams.

Have you tried updating the mouse driver on your computer?

You are so funny with your nonsense!!!!! So funny in fact that you cannot be taken seriously.

Us intelligent normal folk should have realised by now that it is absolutely no use whatsoever in stating/quoting facts to a trump supporter, because they don't have the mental capacity to process facts, only the nonsense provided by the cult leader, you know the one who raises his clenched tiny fists from his small hands in some sort of show for his goobers. Pathetic really. And although he is back on the ballot papers, I sincerely hope that he doesn't become POTUS again, although the only thing it will show the rest of the world is how stupid it is that a man who is despised and considered a laughing stock by many of them, manages to gain that position. Unbelievable.

Thanks for the tip @giddyup......just finished it last night and found it enjoyable, and could't believe the amount of weight that Colin Farrell had to put on to play the part of Drax.

Correction, the above should read: MedPage....... www.medpagetoday.com, And plenty of other disease and new drug breakthrough news.

I have just read an article from MedScape in which AI has been used to find an hitherto unknown/unseen aspect of cancer cells which will help fight this dreadful affliction. Progress is being made on many fronts despite what the ludicrous "big Pharma" naysayers echo.

That you really believe these attacks were anything at all to do Joe Biden speaks to the insanity the prevails in the supporters of the compulsive liar and convicted criminal, trump.

I liked your post, and had to chuckle at your last paragraph, so at least you have still got your sense of humour! Unfortunately there are still folk out there who believe in the likes of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as "cures" for Covid, when the medical profession has rendered them useless for this, but still there are quacks who will have you try anything. I was found to have a skin cancer after an excision and a friend of mine here suggested I took a "potion" which an associate of his claimed would cure cancer if ingested. It was made from seawater, after having an electrical current passed through it and my friend claimed it had cured cancer in one of his friends. No amount of suggesting that this was nonsense would change his mind, so I stopped trying and let him wallow in his ignorance. Like you, I prefer to put my health in the hands of the medical profession, even though at times some of the decisions/treatment I have had/seen here to make me wonder how far ahead the medical profession is in this country – – having said that, in my opinion they know a lot more than the Facebook and YouTube "doctors". Good luck with your treatment and your future health.

I can't agree with you on your first paragraph, not only because I have relatives and friends who are in the medical profession, but because I also am a keen reader of medical journals and also follow Med Page which features some of the latest work/research/trials with regard to diseases and medicines, and some of the work which is being done is amazing and gives one hope for the future. The link below doesn't seem to work but if you copy and paste it, the site shows up. www.medpagetoday.com

I am a keen fan of most documentaries, especially relating to past history, so I downloaded "Shackleton. The Greatest Story of Survival" and thought it was great. There have been other documentaries, and this one was an amalgam of original footage, recreated scenes and input from Tim Jarvis who recreated Shackleton's footsteps, and commented on the adventure from a large ship on which he sailed to the Antarctic. This doco really stood out for me and grabbed my attention from start to finish and quite how those hardy folks managed to survive is barely believable, but surely the leadership of Shackleton was a key factor.

YES, you keep me and others amused as it is not often one comes across someone like you who totally believes the cult leader, convicted crook and compulsive liar. Funny is as funny does and believes.

How stupid was that??

You are funny.

More than your GOP misinformation and lies.........obviously following the Kool Aid cult leader! Not a good idea as he is as dumb as a bag of rocks......thinking that his "deal" with the Taliban would work; he is just as foolish and naive as his cult followers.

Sheet it back to humpty trumpty........he was responsible for starting the withdrawal debacle by signing an agreement with the TALIBAN; and how did that turn out??

Was this because trump signed an order/agreement to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan....... In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States–Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar,[7] which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments. trump signed off on the US withdrawal, so sheet it back to him. It did not help that the US military made a hash of it, the same military which served both trump and Biden.

Your jealousy is showing again you poor tortured soul. Probably because your job as a garbage collector wasn't that fulfilling!!!

More likely that there is a breakdown inside one of the elements, whereby when the insulation around the element core gets hot, it fails and leaks voltage.

He's a long-time good friend here, and he did say that I should be careful of the traffic, but I didn't think that a traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing would present a problem!

There was another thread which was dealing with various VPNs, but I can't find it at the moment so I will post on here because SmartDNS is mentioned in this post and I have been lauding the praises of this for quite some time because I've never had a problem with it – – until last night when I tried to watch BBC iPlayer using it (yet again) but I got a message saying that it wasn't available in my location! First time this has ever happened. So I reset it and tried again, but to no avail, however luckily I have kept Nord VPN on file because that did work most of the time (not all of the time I will admit) and I was able to use this to watch football on BBC iPlayer. Today SmartDNS is working so I will revert to this as my main "VPN" and investigate further. Has anybody else had any problems with SmartDNS?
