Hawaiian

I never expected much, so I wasn't disappointed.

Good! No ski bums here.

I just happen to live in Hawaii. Lived here all my life. I've been all over the Pacific, but never to Australia and have no desire to go there.

Perennial complainers tend to sit in their corner and mope.

Being an economic power with a diverse economy, Japan can afford to be choosy about the caliber of tourist they welcome.

While part of Japan, Okinawa has its own unique cuisine and culture. In Hawaii, people of Okinawan ancestry have their own social cliques and organizations.

Why not? We have that in Hawaii. Snow on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa while it is sunny (80 to 85F) and warm at lower elevations.

Not bad when you can come back indoors to a nice warm room. I was there when there was no central heating. Only a small electric room heater. Besides I don't ski, although I have snowboarded back home on Mauna Kea.

"Thai tourists traveling to Japan surged to 1.3 million." Several of our Thai friends have been there several times and plan to visit again. They comment on how neat and organized the Japanese are.

I was there years ago. Arrived for the first snowfall of the season. Much too cold for me.

But you learn fast.

They will soon tire of each other. Then what?

You're so right about the Democrats sticking together.

Where have you been the past 24 hours? Biden already signed another bill passed by the House and the Senate.

In the past eBay usually sided with the seller. After many customer complaints and falling sales, they reversed their policy and adopted many safeguards for buyers, like mandatory tracking. I have bought a number of refurbished Lenovo Thinkpads through eBay and have never been taken. eBay has a Resolution Center that actually works. I only buy from sellers who pay for return shipping for defective or "not as described" items.

GMO Homo sapiens?

I wonder how the Vatican is handling this?

History has seen quite a few rulers that have amassed great wealth who have been overthrown by another powerful leader or by an uprising of a disgruntled populace.

I did not claim the article to be fake news. I question the accuracy of the article. This is what I found. https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.9UC4LE

Remember the spat between Sen. Rand Paul and Fauci about the funding of GOF research at the Wuhan Lab. I believe in the end Fauci was caught evading the truth and accused of the illegal use of research money.

Your source is known for producing conspiracy theories and fake news.

You mean like the discovery by an Australian doctor that certain stomach ulcers are caused by a bacteria, H. pylori? And who do atheists pray to?

Sorry. Double post. Moderator, please delete.

Both my girlfriend and I have received the Pfizer vaccine and three boosters. Being exposed at work, she tested positive but asymptomatic. Me, tested negative and asymptomatic. This happened twice within a year's time. Natural immunity? Who knows. I am quite sure there are many secrets out there to be discovered. Even the definite origin of the virus has not been settled. As for my girl and I, all we care is that we are both healthy and happy, she at 54 and me at 84. Take care and hope you get better.

This is just one of the reasons why AI is so dangerous. It is coming to the point that one does not know who or what to trust, especially anything from the government.
