US Army gives you 3 months notice for deployment. Before you ask, I enlisted in 1976. And NO, I'm posting a copy of my DD214. So guessing, he dropped out after notification, which, I certainly wouldn't hold against him. Again, who wants to serve in an illegal war, for defense contractor profits.

Electrolytes No Sugar @ LAZ Other vendors ... link maybe Did not peek at any of the products/ingredients. If it has artificial sweeteners, stick with 'aspartame'. Other ones (saccharin, sucralose), you want to avoid.

Key take away, the New York Times .... "may have" ... So no basis for their assumption The Atlantic (source) What Trump’s Draft Deferments Reveal Trump’s story is surprisingly typical of his generation—and that’s the real scandal. By Amy J. Rutenberg President Donald Trump’s Vietnam-era draft deferments made headlines again last week when The New York Times reported that, as a favor to Trump’s father, a Queens podiatrist may have written the letter that led to Trump’s I-Y medical deferment. That the story dropped on the same day as Trump made his first visit as commander in chief to American military forces in a conflict zone certainly makes for some interesting optics. But Trump is hardly unique. By the time Trump received his deferment, young men from privileged backgrounds had come to expect they would be able to avoid active-duty military service. His story says less about the president as an individual than about the choices America has made as a society about who should bear the burden of military service. More than 15 million men of Trump’s generation sought to avoid active-duty military service, including George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, and Dan Quayle. Up to 60 percent of men in the Vietnam generation took active measures to qualify for a deferment from the draft, while up to 90 percent of enlistments in the National Guard were draft-motivated by 1970. ___________________________________________________________ My thoughts ... anyone wanting to avoid that illegal war, more power to them, and they have my deepest respect. You'd have to be an idiot, to go to a foreign land, not by choice, for no reason, to die for the profits of defense contractors.

Link again ... enlighten yourself

Gender is NOT your sex. You are male or female. Imaginary genders apparently can be anything now. Call yourself whatever you want. But you are male or female, XY or XX. There's a reason there is only 2 colors/choices at a baby's sex/gender reveal party ...

Damn, and I thought I was a CC at times. Curious, so had wife call ฿1700 inc. brekkie If curious .. no pets.

Don't think so, never heard of it of the singer. Watch on YT. And y'all said 'Political Science' - Randy Newman was not popular enough Not bad, got a Phil Ochs vibe 👍

For others curious about a natural source ... source As an aside, I started taking a Magnesium (citrate) supplement, as figured I was deficient, as most folks are. It has made a big difference, in my sleep pattern, and always a good thing. Get 6 hours straight with no problem now, and not even needing the prostate P every 2-3 hours. Pretty sure I get a good supply of the rest on the list.

That's my tourist look ... and next time, you're buying the beers 😎

Keto diet ... no prob

Some folks can't take a hint ... ... and return again and again

... "suggesting that future disclosures may be forthcoming" I'm on the edge of seat, tell us more I think everyone knows, knew a long time ago, it's one horrible family, with dark roots. Good luck with the book & media sales 👍

Not that anyone is ... ... but, if you ask me, then

They ... may have accepted it in 2017, but I never will. Not what I was taught, and to me, you sound like an idiot if using. It really is too damn confusing in print, in conversation, it's just silly. "assigned female at birth" "in relationship with 'Emma'" - wiki ... so simply gay. Keep it simple, BUT, that wouldn't make a headlines, or get you noticed (hopefully) for those big $$$$ endorsements. Good luck with that, and best wishes for some medals.

@KannikaP This is my usual morning (long) cruise in the EV. Dog and myself to the park, (short), and if cruising by surf also, the long cruise. 11.7 is the amount of kwh to go 100 kms, as calculated, used be the car. 46.3 usable battery ÷ 11.7 = 3.957 X 100 = 395+kms per charge So when I state 360 kms, that's mix local driving. If short cruise, then average 60 kph, as most of the drive is 4 lane road. If long, then short accounts for 8 kms, and the other half is probably 25-40 kph. We consistently exceed the WLTP range rating of 320 kms per charge. We'll get 320 kms at highway speeds / 90kph. I save too much sh!t ... here's one even better, and even beats the NEDC rating of 403 kms per charge ...

It cost us ~฿0.5 per kms when charging using PEA. 360 kms @ ฿185.2 (46.3 kwh X ฿4)

I did the #s for BEV vs ICE, using cars we owned/own. MG ZS ICE got 14 kpl MG ZS EV gets 360 kms local driving using 46.3kWh. We have solar, but when I do charge, using PEA, it's ~฿4 kWh I used ฿36 or ฿38 for petrol (91) price per L 360 kms ÷ 14 = 25.71 L X ฿38 = ฿977 360 kms - PEA = ฿185 (46.3 x 4) Actually used ฿5 in previous calculations, as most folks probably pay more the ฿4. But being the wall charger is the only thing on the grid, we rare use much electric, charging with solar mostly. In 2 years, we used 854 kWh of PEA. Approx 240 kWh is for the house ? (unexplained) the rest 614 have probably gone to the EV.

Actually I did, via savings ... Petrol ฿54k a year Solar -0- PEA/MEA ... 'savings ฿42k a year' = PEA/MEA cost ฿12k a year (54-42=12) Safety issue ... imaginary. Especially now, as LFP safer & last longer Here's a chart for life span of battery, and many consider these numbers very conservative. Some have quoted up to 10k cycles, but we'll stick with 2500, and go even more negative, just 50% of that, is knocking on 500k kms for our MG ZS. Read the not so small fine print, the battery isn't DEAD, just @ 80% capacity. Work the #s, and you'll be at the BEV dealer before you know it. Aside from savings, actually irrelevant for most of us. But the performance, you'll definitely appreciate that, and makes driving fun again.

Agree, and myself, never saw the practicality for a hybrid. A bit redundant & expensive all the way around. Damn silly IMHO, unless racking up a lot of highway kms, and time is money. In which case, just stick with an ICE, Maybe get a NETA V for knocking around town, for wife or husband's needs.

Ooops ... sit corrected, and correct answer below. Had DC on the brain. Cars will accept 22kW, as it's just the cable delivering, and charger is actually in the car. Just most houses (1 phase) or the granny / emergency cables they give you, won't provice 22kW. Here's a chart what the MG ZS will accept and in red is what we have at the house ... As you can see, DC fast charging cable is considered anything 50kW or up, but for our car, anything above 76kW is irrelevant, as it will only accept 76kW. Actually more than fast enough for us. Only takes 30-40 minutes to go from 30% to 95%, and we usually leave somewhere between 90-100%, depending if ready or someone waiting. The last 5% can take 15-20 minutes by itself, and not worth waiting for if we're done doing whatever.

And MG just extended their 8 yr / 180k kms battery warranty to lifetime on 4 selected BEV models. Doesn't get much better than that. ICEV ...

I had a petition going for me to be part of Mt Rushmore, days past. It failed ...
