  1. Perhaps I was wrong @placeholder, because I thought that when he was ordered to pay more than $2 million to charities because she had fraudulently misused their funds and paid some of his business debts with them, that this constituted a crime?? Sure it is the act of a lying lowlife, and he even owned up to misusing their funds, which unfortunately some jurisdictions don't see as a crime?
  2. I have to say thank you, "Hummin", because you have opened my eyes to something which I never knew about and I was really dwelling in the past (long time past) with my scant knowledge of nuclear waste, and so I did a bit of research and it appears that you are spot on with your post, so I take my hat off to you! If what is said in the link that I posted, which I think is the same as yours, then we shouldn't have a problem with nuclear power. Storage and Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Updated January 2023) https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/nuclear-waste/storage-and-disposal-of-radioactive-waste.aspx#:~:text=The%20radioactivity%20of%20the%20wastes,be%20undertaken%20safely%20almost%20anywhere.
  3. Even when trumpies like you are shown the truth, you still choose not to believe it. So keep on living in your MAGA dreamworld as the truth seems to hurt you. Trump Pays $2 Million to 8 Charities for Misuse of Foundation Under a settlement, the president admitted he had used his charity to bolster his campaign and settle business debts. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/10/nyregion/trump-foundation-lawsuit-attorney-general.html And for the record............. Donald Trump loves to talk big about how great he is at business. His record says otherwise. Trump’s failed businesses: 1. Trump Steaks 2. GoTrump 3. Trump Airlines 4. Trump Vodka 5. Trump Mortgage 6. Trump: The Game 7. Trump Magazine 8. Trump University 9. Trump Ice 10. The New Jersey Generals 11. Tour de Trump 12. Trump Network 13. Trumped!
  4. I use the free version of "Format Factory" and you select a number of options. Very good.
  5. Well, that shouldn't be too hard to do, because he's committed enough of them!!!!
  6. Far too many mistakes for a club pushing for trophies and places.
  7. So we inject lethal radioactive waste back into the planet/earth which sustains us........has to be a better way.
  8. Well IMO, discussion doesn't actually take place on a forum like this, points of view prevail and it very often ends up with agreeing to disagree. I never discussed the lives of minors, but did quote from a report done many decades ago with regards to uranium mining, however, in addition, another poster has given a link to the destructive outcomes of uranium mining in Australia in more recent times. Finding a way to lessen the effects of fossil fuel in the atmosphere is really what I was aiming at rather than nuclear fission, and although there has been some progress in this field, much more is needed. Bioethanol is an area which is being investigated, and I'm hopeful that progress will be made in other areas which negate the need for nuclear reactors. For me it really comes down to the fact that we have a waste product from nuclear power that we don't really know how to deal with, and it has the potential to destroy life on earth, if not now, then potentially later, and I'm not comfortable with that. https://ehss.energy.gov/ohre/roadmap/achre/chap12_2.html#:~:text
  9. No the Russians who started the invasion of Ukraine and who cannot be trusted.
  10. Yes, I agree with your post and although I'm not an avid follower of the Mediterranean diet, I do include a lot of EV Olive oil in my diet, along with balsamic vinegar and raw vegetables (mainly raw broccoli) however I am far too fond of pizzas to give them up completely, although in fairness I do have the thin crust, wholemeal ones and on those I use onions, tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts and anchovies amongst other things. And just so that I get my fair share of anthocyanins, half a bottle of red wine to help it go down! PS. I do try other diets/recipes and a lot of my recipes include pomodoro in one form or another, so I do get more than my fair share of lycopene!
  11. I do recall that the "Atkins diet" was all the rage a few years back, and although I didn't go on it myself, a friend did and when I enquired as to how it was going, he said he had lost weight but was fed up with eating so much meat, a lot of it?? How different is that to modern day diets, and especially the one that is being discussed here?
  12. A few decades ago, or should I say many decades ago, the big "thing" was about giving up items rich in dairy fat (as well as other fats), and that included milk, so I gave that up and used low fat milk, and have used it ever since, and now whenever anybody makes me a cup of tea with the "normal/full fat" milk, it tastes too creamy for me – – so I've stuck with the low-fat stuff and it suits my tastes now.
  13. Brand is named, "Foremost", in blue small or larger cartons. UHT milk don't forget.
  14. This isn't a surprise as NZ has been unable to get rid of rabbits and possums for as long as I can recall, despite so-called "eradication programmes" being in place for yonks!
  15. I only by the UHT milk in small cartons, and in Big C they have both the 0% fat and the 2% fat versions. Take your pick.
  16. The problem is that they float when you put them in your cup of tea!!
  17. I feel sorry for you as you seem unable to understand that what Clarence Thomas has done is totally unethical and compromises his position; but then again you might just be a MAGA nut, a shill, or someone who just doesn't understand the simple aspects of ethics.
  18. So, what we seem to have, according to you, is a safe method of generating electricity, which may well be the case, however that doesn't take into consideration the dangers to the miners and those who die from cancer is alarming, in fact..... "They reported that a miners' life expectancy was twenty years after entering the mine, and about 75 percent of the miners died of lung cancer". Not a good look for the miners, and also of course there's the problem with the tailings which destroy surrounding wildlife and pollute rivers, along with killing people. Then of course is the fact that the nuclear waste remains radioactive for thousands of years, and mankind hasn't found a safe way to deal with this, just kicks the can down the road, so Earth is being seeded with a contaminant so powerful that it could destroy mankind, and we doesn't know what to do with it (safely). That to me is the reason we must seek out other ways to generate electricity. Not much point in my continuing this, as you have your view and I have mine, and as the saying goes "ne'er the twain shall meet".
  19. Obviously a nuclear power supporter, and your "answers" gloss over too much.......e.g. mining for uranium far more dangerous and as for spent nuclear fuel, then it doesn't become "safe" for thousands of years Burying it is still the option taken, so is unsafe in that environment due to circumstances beyond our control, water table or not.
  20. Not sure the idea to get kids killing feral cats was too bright, however there is nothing to stop a campaign getting underway which precludes kids from the hunt. They are indeed one hell of a nuisance and are indiscriminate killers at the best of times, so god knows what these feral ones are like – – get rid of the buggers, and as soon as possible, wouldn't be soon enough.
  21. They are just a bunch of dogs..............and even that is too kind a description.
  22. So you have no problem with justice Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, telling lies and being unethical in his financial affairs. Doesn't reflect well, and I hope he gets called out big time (or should I say, bigly) but then again the GOP are a spineless bunch of crooks so will probably protect their own, or maybe MTG can issue a statement in his defence – – yeah right! PS. It could well become a legal issue if he is found guilty of defrauding the IRD with regards to tax being paid.
