Aside: not many update FD bank book however when I was using FD a/c money in bank, I would make deposit on day of application.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:57:54 +0000A bunch of harry sweaty men grunting in a pile isn't exciting for me. It is for you and that is really all that matters from your perspective:) You and Jing Jing probably share this excitement ;)Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:57:34 +0000I've always been under the impression that fingerprint scans were supposed to be the most secure way. Moreover, unlike facial scans, fingerprint scans are good for life. On the other hand, I can see banks requiring us to update the master facial scans linked to our accounts every couple of years or so as new wrinkles continue forever to appear unbounded on our forever increasingly furrowed brows. Meaning more fun and games, of course, as we struggle to provide updated scans against backgrounds which are either too light or too dark - or maybe even both too light and too dark at the same time! 🤬Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:56:50 +0000Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:56:34 +0000Doesn't matter what Starmer thinks. Lame duck PM. Burnham won Makerfield. So long 2 tier Keir. Its been anything but a pleasure.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:56:26 +0000What's a better man? Someone who lives for science and does it for a living? Many scientists believe there is a God, looking at the "Big Bang" as his actions. Failed, yes, all of them as no one has disproven a God. We look at the wonders of creation and know there's a God behind it with a plan. Some think everything happened all by chance, believing those "better men". I didn't say teaching a religion does anything besides having a person ready if there is a God, which believers believe. . I said it's still up to the parents as they are the first role models. Following God's Commandments surely makes you better citizens after you leave the home. Religions have been used for power and control, but that's not their underlying objective, which is still peace. You do know people who who are intelligent are less likely to be brainwashed, and not think for themselves as adults right? How did teaching me about God do me harm? I have always treated people well, including my women and children, with the usual parent mistakes but no abuse or neglect. After grammar school, I didn't think about Catholicism like it was taught to me but the big picture. You pray to Jesus and God, and not other people, as they aren't going to help you. My girlfriend got me to be born again, as a believer in what's most important. A personal relationship with Jesus and God. You might think how this world would be if no one believed. Much of the population would be exterminated in a few days, from all the anger uncontrolled by the want to do whatever they wanted, no worries about going to heaven any longer, as it doesn't exist, and people who wanted to kill another, and I'm sure it's a lot more than we already see, would act that out. Believers are sinners, but still want to go to heaven, so there is some fear involved, along with just trying to be a decent person.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:55:03 +0000Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:54:50 +0000I posted the link.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:54:29 +0000Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:53:51 +0000Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:53:35 +0000Indeed. Perhaps "... " would have made it clear.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:53:20 +0000GG, You are usually understanding of others desires. Weird post and surprised you are unable to get past your hatred. Simply ignore all the futbol hipe and enjoy what you like. I no longer am attached to any team nor really care other than watching highlights on occation. Sport brings joy to many and just because a few fools act like imbeciles doesn't detract much from the pleasure sport teams bring to the masses.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:53:18 +0000They did a documentary about that, starring Darryl Hannah. Clan of the Cave Bear. At least I think it was a documentary. It was boring enough, aside from a minute or 2 of caveman on blonde action. Edit: Before they invented toothpaste, they had to be creative.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:53:11 +0000Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:53:04 +0000He's taking us back in via the back door. Starmers favourite entrance. Anyway he will be gone soon. Burnham won Makerfield.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:53:01 +0000Thank god nobody did come to the aid of America’s illegal war of aggression. NATO rules are quite clear, members will come to the aid of the one being attacked, NATO can never support aggression. There has only ever been one call on NATO to come to a country’s aid being attacked. America made that call and NATO members came. I do agree that other members should up their spend and stop sponging off the US. I also think Trump needs to be jailed for killing thousands of people in Iran. It’s a fact his war was illegal, that’s not a theory.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:52:08 +0000He didn’t get his nickname for nothing. Don the Con and the art of the deal. They were told there would be winning. Is this that winning?Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:50:56 +0000True, but at least we have bendy bananas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uovt1sC3rtMFri, 19 Jun 2026 01:50:33 +0000No need to tell me anything else. but if you had read the rest of the thread you would have noticed the issue was already sorted. The post you just quoted (and others saying the same) came after yours and before the new version was fully rolled out. I think we're all now aware of creating a profile.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:49:18 +0000Eight civilians, including a toddler, were killed when regime fighter jets bombed residential areas of Kyauktaw in Rakhine State on Wednesday afternoon, according to local reports. Seventeen others were injured in the half‑hour assault. Witnesses said three warplanes strafed the town, which is under the control of the Arakan Army (AA). “The warplanes bombed the town one after another. It was a terrifying moment,” one resident told The Irrawaddy. Footage circulating online shows jets repeatedly dropping bombs as homes, warehouses and a market were destroyed. The attack comes as the AA advances towards the state capital Sittwe and the coastal hub of Kyaukphyu, where major Chinese investment projects are based. Regime leader Min Aung Hlaing was in Beijing this week, where President Xi Jinping pressed him to push ahead with Chinese‑financed megaprojects, including the Kyaukphyu deep‑sea port. Yet the immediate strategic value of bombing Kyauktaw appears unclear. Local writer and charity leader Wai Hun Aung described the strikes as deliberate killings of civilians. “When the regime suffers battlefield losses elsewhere in the state, it kills civilians,” he said. The Kyauktaw raid followed a series of attacks across Rakhine. On Sunday, regime naval boats and aircraft struck villages in Kyaukphyu Township, destroying houses and a monastery. The next day, jets dropped three 500‑lb bombs on a village in Gwa Township, killing two people and injuring eight, including children. Since launching a major offensive in November 2023, the AA has seized 14 of Rakhine’s 17 townships and Paletwa in neighbouring Chin State. Its forces have also expanded operations into Ayeyarwady, Magwe and Bago regions, working alongside allied resistance groups. The latest airstrikes highlight the regime’s reliance on aerial and naval power as it struggles to contain the AA’s sweeping gains, while civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. -2026-06-19Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:48:32 +0000It would be both illegal an unethical for her doctor to discuss her medical details with anyone -- including her husband -- without her consent. There also does not seem to be any reason for particular concern at this time. She has been seen at a university hospital and screened for both cervical (pap smear) and endometrial (ultrasound) cancer with negative results, and is asymptomatic. She has also apparently successfully followed a multi-phase course of treatment for breast cancer and is getting regular follow ups. So no reason to doubt that she and her doctors know what they are doing and no reason to doubt the doctor's recommendation that all is fine and no need for anything but follow up in a few months. If a problem had been diagnosed/further treatment was being recommended then it might make sense for him to try to push her to let him speak with the doctor. But as this is not the case, personally I think he should just step back and respect her wishes. One common reason for patients not wanting family to join medical appointments is that it can shift the focus from the patient's needs to the anxieties of the relative. Reoatives don't mean to do this, but it can happen.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:48:27 +0000'The individuals involved had apparently left the area before authorities arrived.' How do they manage to do this time after time? Are they clairvoyant?Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:48:20 +0000Let’s go back down the evolutionary tree and you tell me which creatures go to heaven. Here are the last 10 steps in reverse chronological order… Homo sapiens (us): Emerged in Africa ~300,000–315,000 years ago. Anatomically modern humans with high foreheads, smaller faces, and advanced tool use/culture. 2. Early Homo sapiens ancestors / late archaic Homo (e.g., related to Homo heidelbergensis or African archaic populations): ~500,000–800,000 years ago. A common ancestor (or closely related group) for modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. Brain expansion and more advanced tools. 3. Homo heidelbergensis (or similar): ~700,000–200,000 years ago. Often cited as a key ancestor or close relative; widespread in Africa/Europe. Larger brains, sophisticated tools, possible fire use and hunting. 4. Homo erectus / Homo ergaster: ~1.9 million–~100,000 years ago (earlier forms). First major hominin to leave Africa; tall, long-legged, controlled fire, made advanced tools (Acheulean). Direct or close ancestor to later Homo species. 5. Early Homo (e.g., Homo habilis or Homo rudolfensis): ~2.8–1.5 million years ago. First members of genus Homo in Africa. Larger brains than australopithecines, simple stone tools (Oldowan), some meat scavenging/hunting. Transitional from more ape-like ancestors. 6. Australopithecus (e.g., A. afarensis like “Lucy,” or A. africanus/garhi): ~4–2 million years ago. Bipedal (walked upright), but still small-brained and partly arboreal. Key adaptations for walking on two legs; some may link to early Homo. 7. Earlier australopithecines or transitional hominins (e.g., A. anamensis or Ardipithecus): ~4.4–6 million years ago. More primitive bipeds or facultative bipeds with ape-like traits (e.g., grasping feet, smaller canines). Ardipithecus ramidus shows woodland habitat and partial bipedalism. 8. Earliest hominins (e.g., Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Orrorin tugenensis): ~6–7 million years ago. Very early after the human-chimp split. Sahelanthropus (~7 mya) had a small brain but possible bipedal traits (foramen magnum position). Mix of ape and hominin features. 9. Last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees/bonobos: ~6–8 (or up to 9–7) million years ago. A now-extinct primate population in Africa. Not a modern chimp; likely arboreal with some ground adaptations. Genetic divergence point. 10. Common ancestor with gorillas (Homininae divergence): ~8–10+ million years ago. Earlier ape-like ancestor shared with gorillas (after orangutan split ~12–14 mya). Miocene apes like possible candidates (e.g., related to Dryopithecus or African forms). More generalized great-ape traits before hominin-specific changes.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:47:17 +0000A lot of people believing in snake oil salesmen these days. Just look at the pro in Washington! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Fri, 19 Jun 2026 01:46:49 +0000
