Seems a bit harsh to be targetting bees' knees.That spring-handled welding hammer seems quite a fierce tool. You wouldn't want to use it hammer side first ,though and impale yourself on the recoil.

Yes ,this is Samsung Internet. (btw this is the third time in a row that I thought I had posted a reply only to see a little later that I had not. I willl keep an eye out in case there is some glitch or it is just my own carelessness or the poor performance of my phone)

No I don"t use a VPN (I think that is an anonymous IP?) I never log out (sometimes different sites log me out after a while but I don't really pay much attention to that) I think it is just this site that keeps verifying that I am human ,although it does sometimes happen elsewhere ( on google itself ,actually it might be quite frequent) I wonder if might be down to this phone being quite old (and a bit wonky) although,as I said it isn't happening on other forums I visit.

Is anyone else getting an increased level of "checkong that you are human" verifications? I get this every other time I go to the site and it is a lengthy process. Once i am "in" it is fine but if I leave the session for a while I may have to go through it again.

Or a tad cilious?

They haven"t been finished? I expect they can be made less conspicuous when the individual pictures are added in their places.

If he wants to attack Iran in a full blooded war does he have to get the OK from Putin first? Does that require a "full" ceasefire in Ukraine if the weapons supply from Iran has to be interrupted?

What about Mars? ElonStar?(you need to squint to see it)

From what I have heard that is the time in the model approaches infinite density. Is there anything that would distinguish this universe from any other possible one? Is any asymmetry involved? Do quantum processes dominate for something as small as that ?(I don't know how small that actually is)

A space laser/tweaser? I have wondered that ( as a requirement that may have led to a blunder)

They are quite clearly being completely open and transparent.

Are you sure it was after? I thought it was before.

I was going to make an identical post but aborted it on reflexion(the Russians might be a little alarmed if they thought that they were now "allies")

3B ?

I think it was Hitler who said he wasn't a Nazi https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1089896776514260&set=a.502824405221503&type=3

Calling all sleuths (furrier and furrier) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Poilièvre "This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “is this poil(hair)+lièvre(hare), a rabbit farmer raising for rabbit fur, or rabbit trapper fur hunter, furrier?" plus "Perhaps from pois aux lièvres (“yellow pea (Lathyrus aphaca)”)" "

That is just weird.(being polite)

Have you misunderstood what the post you quoted was saying? I felt it was criticizing Trump's greedy eyes and likening his approach to that of Russia.

I think we need the OP to give us their own definition.(I usually ignore an OP if they don't field questions on their topic)

To repeat an earlier question ,what does the OP understand as "middle class"? Obvious not the billionaire class and obviously not those who cannot afford to put away any savings So a subset of those in between? What subset (subsets)? Edit: Who are the liberals?(if we are allowed to ask stupid questions)

80 .They bring him onto Anderson Cooper from time to time. He is entertaining(and compos mentis) Here is his piece in NYT from last month https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/opinion/democrats-donald-trump-economy.html

I see James Carville was just saying that the Dems should "play possum" as the "Repubs" are imploding in real time . (I thought he was being sarcastic but no he meant it) They do have to be careful not to provide the regime with an excuse to cancel elections . I wonder how much support they can lose and still remain in power. (For those of us non Americans I wonder if we actually care)

The bag is with thee Blessed art thou who filter the allergens And blessed is the fruit sucked up in your attachment.

Which it do be!

"It was me whom they buried" or "It was I who(m?) they buried"? (Not disagreeing with you,though) That quote observing the swift changing of the language within a (then) presumanly short lifetime is so surprising when it feels that it should be a phenomenon much more typical of our fast moving information age. Plus ça change and all that.
