Texas Children Suffer Vitamin A Poisoning Amid Measles Outbreak Following RFK Jr's Claims
So far so good. Still have some symptoms but not near before. They're supposed to re test a few weeks after the treatment but the hospital I went to doesn't do the breath test , only the endoscopy, so I'll either have to wait 2 months to get an appointment for that (talked to doctor last week), or go to another hospital an hour plus away and pay for the breath test, which I'm considering. I've always eaten healthy but now I'm using more Collagen, Probiotics, yogurt, kimchi and still taking Omeprazole to keep the stomach acid down. -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
1. Putin is drawing a line at slaughtering his own citizens; he hasn't the guts to send Muscovites into battle, preferring to take a chance with mutinous convicts, press-ganged Somali students and suspect DPRK troops. 2. Read statements put out by General Chris Cavoli regarding Kyiv's recruitment policies. 3. US carrier from before WW2 were wooden deck carriers for speed of manouevre. Your history books are defective. The single thing that turned the war was the A-Bomb. Until the 6 and 9th August, to the average marine, they didn't feel like they were winning. Operation Olympic was the planned invasion of the Japanese Home Islands, for November 1945. This involved the UK supplying 18 carriers (25% of strength) following release from Atlantic duties. The planning was tossed when it was determined that the Japanese had 4 times as many combat aircraft as originally envisaged, thanks to kamikaze tactics, and possessed a much larger standing army than envisaged. There were considerable untouched reserves in Malaya, Indonesia, Indo-China, Formosa and the Phillippines. Planning had assumed the Japanese could put up a resistance until 1947, with the Allies prepared for losses of over 800,000 men. Hoover went so far as to suggest 1 million dead Americans were needed to finish Japan. I wouldn't suggest without the A-Bomb, the end of the war would have been very different, with the US losing its stomach for a fight (memoranda suggested the US was facing domestic difficulties in sustaining the draft, and might not have been able to make the additional necessay mobilisations). Obviously history makes it obvious to us when a war was lost, or won. Britain had won WW2 by surviving the Battle of Britain (without that, there would have been no US support). Japan had lost WW2 by losing at Midway etc. When my grandfather raised his hands at Singapore, he probably wasn't thinking that the Japanese had bitten off more than they could chew. For all of Russia's powers that you are a fanboi of, they aren't doing all that well against an opposition that started off numerically inferior, ill equipped. The RuAF is nowhere to be seen (thats the biggest mystery; a Western operation would have ensured complete control of the airspace). The UkrAF now appears to be conducting high altitude bombing runs against Russian forward positions with near impunity (either they have run out of SAMs because they used them all up blowing up supermarkets, or the addition of new systems, such as the F16s from European allies, have contributed towards their neutralisation (the use of AARGM such as AGM-88s retrofitted to Soviet era aircraft, means SAM crews are now afraid to switch on their radars. Or the systems that are now jamming Russia's ace, the glide bomb). Or, that might not be the case. -

Is America doomed
I don't think either of the scientists you cite can deny the laws of thermodynamics. IMO clouds are an effect of climate change, not a cause. The 1100 scientists are wrong. Conservative models of the Tibetan Plateau predict by 2050 flows to the Mekong, Ganges and Brahmaputra will be halved, affecting the lives of the billion people who depend on those rivers for food. That's without the 2000 odd dams the Chinese have built or are building. Over the last 20 years, the average ice loss from Greenland is about 270 gigatons. Sea level rise on the eastern seaboard of America is about 6 inches thus far. It's not unknown for scientists to disagree. It's also not unknown for some scientists to have their opinions funded by people who prefer to look away, for financial reasons. -

Coolant all over the car engine bay.
It may be a leaking water pump as well. They have a weep hole that water will spray out of if the internal seal is defective. When that happens it sprays all over the engine like what you see here. Doubt its the cap thats defective. Easy enough to check, fill with water run the engine until it gets hot and watch for the spray from the water pump -

Watch: Fencer Disqualified After Protesting Match Against Transgender Opponent
Unfortunately they were fencing "foil", so that would have been out of the target scoring area, if however they had been fencing epee, or sabre, that would have been allowed. I used to fence, I once got through to the final round of the British Army competition (more by good luck than good judgement - my Regiments team had a couple of very good fencers, I wasn't one). I was drawn against a tall languid sort of chap who was in the running for the UK Olympic Squad - shortest bout ever but I did get praise for trying from the judges! It is certainly not a sport for "Nancies"! But a woman against a man is always going to be an unfair match. -

Please throw them out and bar them
Add a cup full of biological washing powder and wait the resultant melange at ambient temperatures will likely give birth to something. What could it be? Answers on a postcard please
