  1. I'm sure he would be amused by your observation.
  2. Canada does seem preferable except for the weather.
  3. The fact that they don't serve in the IDF and participate only in a limited way in the greater economy is troubling to the majority of Israelis. It makes sense that in the one and only Jewish state that the most extremely religiously observant Jews should have a haven and indeed they do ... but there do need to be limits. If the ultra orthodox were the majority, I don't see how Israel could work as a state and in it's now very important place in the global economy.
  4. Yeah it gets worse. I had picked the good one but then asked for a shampoo before cut which is included in the price. So the girl did the shampoo and by that time the competent one was busy. Bait and switch.
  5. Seems so at 34.52 <record_date>2022-12-31</record_date> <country>Thailand</country> <currency>Baht</currency> <country_currency_desc>Thailand-Baht</country_currency_desc> <exchange_rate>34.52</exchange_rate>
  6. Carville is an advocate of democrats growing some balls. He walks the walk.
  7. Can't name and shame unfortunately but decided to try out a local shop that presents as more high end with 250 baht cuts. Talked to the girl about what I wanted and she proceeded to start giving me a trim clean up at best. I stopped her after 5 minutes to explain I wanted a cut not a trim. She failed to correct it and then when she saw I was visually upset with her bad service she started acting out in ways that didn't make things better. A week later barbers are waving me into their shops as I clearly still need a cut! OK it's not uncommon to have bad haircuts anywhere especially when there's a language barrier but the sad part here is that I noticed the other stylist in that shop appeared to be super competent. At this point it would be awkward to return at all.
  8. Made more delicious by how President Biden played her.
  9. Carville is a national treasure. He's also a white southerner. As such he can call out white trash when he sees it. Actually calling MTG white trash is mild compared to what she really is.
  10. *Deleted post edited out* The borders are not open. That is a lie. There was no such invitation.
  11. Mexico is right to assert their sovereignty in this.
  12. Pablum. Progressive Jewish students in the US are subject to explicit antisemitism and exclusion just for being in favor of Israel's right to exist. The word apartheid while technically a useful word is almost always associated with South Africa. White South Africans weren't indigenous there. Jews are indigenous to Israel. It's their ancient homeland. Israel demonizers know what they're doing. They use that loaded word intentionally to inflame and persuade people that Israel is evil and illegitimate. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/bellerose-aboriginal-people ___ Are Jews Indigenous to the Land of Israel? Yes. ___ There is no perfect and pure democracy. Duh. Do you think Arab Israelis really want to be in the IDF? It will end at Golan. .
  13. The founders never intended for their militia provision to lead to the river of blood of Americans we have now.
  14. Mission Impossible. The gun nuts have the power and they always have an excuse.
  15. Nope. You're broadcasting long ago debunked assumptions about calories. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/theres-no-sugar-coating-it-all-calories-are-not-created-equal-2016110410602 There’s no sugar-coating it: All calories are not created equal " Looking only at calories ignores the metabolic effects of each calorie; the source of the calorie changes how you digest it and how you retrieve energy from it. "
  16. This was one of the most interesting sotu speeches I've ever seen. The engagement with hecklers was remarkable.
  17. No. https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-drinking-urine
  18. But it isn't. Israel demonizers BDS pipedreams are just that. Israel isn't apartheid South Africa. Israel isn't Putin's Russia. Israel is Israel.
  19. Not unless Israel occupies Jordan.
  20. Absolutely Israel needs better leaders too. Hopefully the protests will make them cancel or at least soften the proposed extreme changes to the government structure.
  21. I agree it should be about quality of life. Longevity with a <deleted> quality of life isn't so great. I think you can improve your quality of life by changing the foods you eat. Losing weight and keeping it off is again statistically very unlikely.
  22. I said he was accused. He was accused. https://www.insideedition.com/19213-peeping-don-ex-beauty-queen-says-trump-burst-in-while-contestants-were-changing
