  1. Really. There's the small matter of July 11 sentencing.
  2. Wage Growth in the United States averaged 6.19 percent from 1960 until 2024, reaching an all time high of 15.28 percent in April of 2021 and a record low of -5.89 percent in April of 2020 The check is in the mail.
  3. IIRC Trump threw so much mud it cost him $83 million dollars.
  4. That's your opinion, which is as credible as a used-car salesman flogging vehicles with banana skins in the differential.
  5. You don't get to tell me what I can post. <deleted>.
  6. Secure borders? The beautiful wall never got to be built. Other people have posted data contradicting your other BS claims. All you do is post links to right-wing op-eds, which need to be taken with a shovelful of salt.
  7. If you prefer a legal system that is based on who is in power at the time, I suggest you go and live in China or Russia. Actually, the political motivations in America consist of Cannon slow-walking the most serious case, and the Supreme Court taking their sweet time in considering a BS claim of immunity.
  8. If Trump is elected President again, America will withdraw into isolation, and leave the rest of the free world to fend for itself. There is not another country that would trust anything he says.
  9. 4 years of stability, compared to the chaos of Trump's presidency. Are you so stupid you don't realize a dozen business bankruptcies, two civil judgments of over $500 million, one felony conviction, with 50-odd criminal indictments yet to come, makes Trump totally unfit to lead a country?
  10. There is a second debate coming. If Biden performs poorly in that, he will be told to go. Trumpers should be careful what they wish for. A new, younger Democrat nominee deprives Trump of the age card, his age then comes into question. Meantime, July 11 and Judge Merchan are waiting.
  11. The only toxic ladies I have encountered were in Australia. My misfortune to marry one.
  12. Fossil fuels are the mainstay of many industries, and will remain so. Lubricants, polymers, pharmaceuticals, textiles, fertilizers - the list goes on and on. Having said that, the end effect of BURNING fossil fuels for energy is the production of carbon dioxide, giving rise to global warming. The science is unarguable on that point. Mankind needs alternative sources of energy - solar, wind, tidal, even nuclear. The main technical challenge is storage of said energy to duplicate the baseload function of fossil-fueled power stations. There are vested interests and denialists who want business as usual. They don't care we are sh!tting in our own nest.
  13. The ozone layer is the same because the Montreal Protocol of 1987 banned the production of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, and most countries signed up to make it stick. Without that, most people with white skins would be flooding melanoma clinics. I don't bother debating people anymore on the existence of global heat and climate extremes. The facts are there, it's a waste of my time.
  14. To understand the science behind global warming and climate change requires comprehension of the laws of thermodynamics. Global warming is the Second Law in operation, climate change is the First Law. About 1% of the world's population on average has tertiary training in science, even fewer have a grounding in thermodynamics. It's hard science. I'd say at a guess the number of politicians who have any scientific training is vanishingly small. Training in law, business and economics is their forte, and that's not the skill set needed.
  15. Rapeseed oil: This is the original oil extracted from the rapeseed plant. It can be used for industrial purposes like lubrication, but its high erucic acid content makes it unsuitable for eating. Canola oil: This is a type of rapeseed oil that has been bred to have low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates (which can give a bitter taste). Canola stands for "Canadian oil, low acid" and is generally recognized as safe for consumption. In most places, like North America and Australia, "canola oil" is the term you'll see on grocery store shelves. Rapeseed oil, if available, is likely for industrial uses.
  16. I went to Gemini for this answer: The key difference between rapeseed and olive oil lies in their fatty acid composition: Fatty Acids: Rapeseed Oil: Rich in both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, with a good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. It's also low in saturated fat. Olive Oil: Primarily monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, known for its heart-healthy benefits. Extra virgin olive oil may also contain some polyphenols, which are antioxidant compounds. Other Chemical Differences: Smoke Point: Rapeseed oil generally has a higher smoke point than olive oil, making it suitable for high-heat cooking. Extra virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point and is better for lower-heat applications or drizzling for flavor. Vitamins: Rapeseed oil is a good source of vitamin E, while olive oil content varies depending on processing. Both oils offer health benefits, but their chemical makeup makes them suited for different purposes.
  17. Oils are liquid at room temperature, fats are solid. Fats are usually higher in the glyceryl esters of saturated fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic acid. Oils contain more unsaturated fatty acids, variations of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid. Liquidity also depends on whether the fat/oil has differing proportions of monoglycerides, diglycerides, or triglycerides. I have found a low fat option in cooking is an air fryer. I line the cooking basket with aluminium foil, and spray with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. No mess, no fuss.
  18. I have not seen any of it here, except in cans. Asparagus is zero fat.
  19. True. However, I don't recall saying I did. Bamboo is a good source of fibre, protein, and vitamins. Ideal for someone trying for a healthy weight.
  20. Bamboo. High fibre and minerals, very little sugar, or fat. I eat it with a bit of chili.
  21. I boil up vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower until al dente. Buy some sai ua, northern Thai herbal sausage. Put it in a blender with some tasty cheese. It makes a thick soup, similar to Dutch curry soup or mulligatawny. Low carbohydrate.
  22. Trump being mean to anyone opposing him is as certain as the sun rising in the east. IIRC he has a reputation of not paying sub-contractors what they are owed, to the point where any lawyer working for him demands payment up front. I believe the expression is as mean as a sewer rat.
  23. Your contributions appear to be a wailing Greek chorus of TDS. The record is stuck in repeat mode. Let me check in my GF's village, there may be a vacancy for you.
