O. K. Just wanted to make sure you were talking about G.O.D. another one... sigh

It? Something? "Set up?"

Offhand, I's say Iron and Vitamin C, probably lots more, and I'm guessing you'd do better with potatoes for the carbohydrate, but I'd rather you did the research for your question than me.

I always considered her one of the most attractive women on television. I happened to see this charming snippet of an interview just a few days ago https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/how-a-kiss-on-star-trek-made-history/p05xhchv

They may not be all that obvious, but many engineering solution can be implemented. https://www.engineering.com/story/how-can-engineers-prevent-surface-water-flooding It's not, unless a large-scale project is undertaken by private enterprise. Most dams, flood-ways and levees are public works projects, which require a lot more from government than permission: government needs to be take the lead in planning, funding, removing obstacles - which may well include business interests, political opposition and people who have to be relocated, none of which is simple or easy - building and maintenance of the required infrastructure for years and decades after it's built. Governments usually contract out the actual construction work to private companies (which of course raises the price of any project for taxpayers) but if the entire project is left to private enterprise - which is a perfectly viable option - there is no control at all by the citizens, and very little by the government, either of the project or the price. I don't know what those are - people often use the word "obvious" without illustrations. Kentucky, like all states and provinces, has a policy, has flood and control-related regulations and contingency plans. https://www.kymitigation.org/kentucky-floodplain-manangement/

We statistical measurements of which democracies are working best, according to the criteria set by academics. (very good ones, IMO) The whole article is worth a close reading. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/democracy-countries As to which is best, results vary. So much depends on the ethnic, cultural and economic makeup of the given popultion, as well its history and how past power dynamics have shaped the voters' and leaders' world-view and the need/mood/volatility of the current environment in which an election takes place. Methods and means of the dissemination of information plays a prominent role and so does the extent to which special interests are allowed to meddle in the form of campaign financing and lobby policies. https://aceproject.org/epic-en?question=ES005&f=h Information on what, where and how is readily available, but best is still largely a matter of opinion. https://www.realinstitutoelcano.org/en/no-electoral-system-is-perfect-but-some-seem-fairer/

Even without the various fraudulent paractices, the percent of eligible voters who actually elect a candidate by the first-past-the-post system is typically about 30-35%. And that successful candidate will also represent the 20% who are eligible to vote but not registered, plus the under-age, disqualified, recent and undocumented immigrants. Of the registered voters, only 60-70% show up in the polls. There is a world of difference between "enough" and a majority, and even the enough are as likely, if not more, to vote on the basis of what a candidate promises to do, than what he or she has actually done. (Besides, just how much can any one representative do?)

After a highway is built, and people have been driving on it, does it sometimes need repair? Snow clearance, salting and sanding, verge and shoulder maintenance? Signs replaced and lines repainted? How were the people screwed/cheated by having to pay for the work of all those people and the materials they work with? Well, neither God nor Exxon provided it, so...

Those warts cause a lot of the trouble, both for politicians and for the people they fail to represent while they're representing the loudest and meanest of their constituency. Of course, the leaders should ideally be chosen from among the best - the smartest, most competent and level-headed. But how are the best to be identified in an egalitarian population? Aristocrats and prelates have proven as warty as peasants and knaves; the middle class as error- and corruption-prone as the upper and lower. Some other complications intrude, as well: balance of power between interest groups, religion and economics, foreign and domestic relations, men and women, ethnic groups, doves and hawks.... Yes, there should be a simple, enforceable contract. That's the idea behind national constitutions: to lay out the respective obligations of governing entities and the governed. But how is that contract made? Who drafts it? Who signs it? Who enforces it? The administration of a large collective, any kind, is complicated. With contrary, emotional, fickle, fractious, gullible humans, it's labyrinthine. Add superstition, money and outside threats from other collectives, and becomes so difficult that only enormous good will and co-operation can make it work. Amazingly, it sometimes does work, for decades at a time, in whole nations.

Never dictate your text to a millennial.

That works. It also you means you can arbitrarily - or, rather, selectively, according to the purpose of the exercise - limit or extend which factors, properties or dimensions that you take into consideration.

What is an "event"? By what criteria do we differentiate discrete events from the event before, the event after, and all the simultaneous events that are taking place at the same time?

Machine-compressed and frozen patties of fairly high fat content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LGh7p23_I4 I bet they put them on the grill still frozen (which also works with the despised veggie burger), time the cooking and turn only once. I would probably just decant the potatoes, hot and fast from the oil, into a metal or ceramic bowl with the herbs, salt, grated garlic, fried onion or whatever you like, cover with a tight lid and toss vigorously.

asparagus and cheese sauce...dark chocolate sauce....apricot jam and ground walnut.... cottage cheese with lemon zest and sugar....mushroom paprika with sour cream... ...snack time!

Thin, long spatula, or the perfectly-shaped, perfectly smooth, perfectly greased pan. I recently got one good enough to flip one-handed, up in the air. There's nothing like having the right tool!

I meant in the cooking, not the mixing. The more important thing, probably, is to really jam those patties together tight and firm, so the breadcrumbs can get a grip on the meat. And if you think beef is a challenge, try frying an intact quinoa, beet or soy burger! (pork and turkey are easy; veggie is really hard!)

It may also be that the meat is very lean and dry. Breadcrumbs, oatmeal or a little cornmeal will certainly help, as will the egg. Also, if you form the patties quite firm and flat, then refrigerate them for half an hour, they might hold their shape better. If all else fails, lay them flat on an ungreased baking sheet, in the oven, at 350-375 F, flipping after about 15 minutes. Less handling = less breakage.

Yes, it does, explicitly in the word 'claimed'! What I wonder is: Why? What purpose does it serve to indulge in vague and mostly ridiculous speculation as to the veracity of an event so long ago and so irrelevant to any major issue of today? And why that particular mission, rather than the other 5? Do you have a point to make?

I can help with this one. It doesn't wave back or forth; it has a ripple. When you fake something, you can correct mistakes; a flaw is one good indication of authenticity.

Pass. I get your drift and will now move upwind.

You mean it was impossible, in knowledge of the history of US police vis a vis African Americans, days after one policeman had brutally and publicly murdered and African American, to anticipate that more arrests of people who could not afford bail would take place in a foreseeable future - unless the same person who anticipated such arrests was at the same time, but promoting violence by protestors, without using one single word about the police, the right wing or any kind of violent act? Whereas: There is nothing unusual about bail funds https://bailfunds.github.io/ Yes, I might at that!

Morally, no: entertaining temptation is only 10% percent of transgression; enetrtaining others with your temptation may only amount to another 10%, but is appreciated nonetheless. Not legally, either, come to that, unless you actually told known sting-ray-owning partisans to contribute and then they or their fish actually stung someone going about his lawful occasions.

I stand corrected. I inadvertently referenced some of his earlier statements. I'll rephrase the question accordingly: In what way is asking to help raise bail [a standard legal procedure of extracting money from people in custody, whether they have any money or not] for people have been arrested for whatever reason and by whatever means (see Amnesty International documentation of police behaviour) promoting violence?
