I write several flavours of BASIC fluently, Fortran and Pascal passably, three forms of assembler well enough to get by, and I’ve worked in COBOL.

Is it “anonymous antisemitic, anti-law enforcement, right wing extremists” that keep bringing up the Justin Trudeau blackface photos?

Republicans hate sex and consent education for young children. It makes it harder to get away with sexually abusing them.

Very interesting article, thank you. I never taste anything but I smell a chemical smell that I liken to blackboard markers immediately. I guess it going to my lungs and me breathing it out would explain it. Thank you very much for the article.

Thanks.

I have a PICC line in which makes the infusions much easier. When the flush the line once a week and before the infusion it’s just saline (water and sodium chloride) but it smells like whiteboard markers to me. I think it increases the conductivity in your nose and mouth and I can really smell hospital smell.

The lump I discovered in my neck was my left superclavicular lymph node (the lymph node just above my collar bone at the base of my neck.) After two months (two rounds of two chemo treatments) the lump in my neck is gone. I also had tumors in the lymph nodes in front of my heart. I’m feeling pretty good. I haven’t had any nausea, though I’m feeling a bit queasy these days. I’m half way between chemo treatments. I get them every other Friday. I hadn’t lost much hair but noticed a couple of days ago that half of my eyebrows were missing. They are shrinking from the outside in toward the bridge of my nose. I look like I have bushy Rotweiller eyebrows. I get another PET scan in two weeks to see how the tumors are reacting. When I’m done with chemo in January I will get radiation to mop up the last of the tumors if there is any evidence of active desease.

So, all in all I’m doing really well. Thanks for asking.

Thanks. I’m two rounds (months) of two treatments each and the lump in my neck is gone. They say that they have a 92% chance of curing me and my going on to live a full live.

Fingers crossed.

I discovered a lump in my neck in April. I was diagnosed with Hodgins Lymphoma in June. Between those two dates I got an ultrasound, chest x-ray, CT, and a biopsy. I saw three doctors, a diagnostic oncologist, and a haematology oncologist who ordered a PET scan, respiratory study, and echo cardiogram. I met with her a week after the tests were completed and started chemo the next day.

Total out of pocket to me: CAD$0.

Total charged to my work health insurance: CAD$0.

The US medical system is grotesque.

Americans are farmed for profit by medical insurance companies which do nothing but act as profit extracting middlemen.

I knew a guy who only ate things he had sprouted in a Mason he kept behind the seat of his pickup truck.

“It would be better if he didn’t” - the mayor of Springfield.

Well corrected.

The dollars are soiled by passing through the hands of the poor, though.

Increasing minimum wage puts more money in the economy which people will spend which puts more money in businesses so they can pay their people more putting more money in the economy.

The only reason the wealthy don’t like this is because their money passes through the hands of the unclean masses instead of going directly into their offshore tax haven accounts.

Like my wife, every day for 17 years, “That tree is going to fall down.”

Tree falls down.

“I told you so.”

I mean…if they keep this up they will be right eventually…right?

Ducks are delicious and eat the way you describe. If I eat ducks I’m eating those things once removed and enjoying it, too.

I’m honoured that they think I’m worthy of vote manipulation.

Anyone who has half a clue can see that Trump and Vance are fascist and that Harris and Walz are definitely not communists or Marxists.

I’ve got $1 that says that this was a supply chain attack. LiPo batteries tend to fart fire when they overheat, not explode, and not wth enough force to blow holes in people.
