If they had used some of the sick humor that helps some people handle combat surgery, (or post-bombing surgery in the middle east), they could not have distributed the movie, and certainly couldn’t have broadcast a televised series that way.

Be careful! That risks poisoning penguins with whatever Republicans are putting in their fake ballots instead of bamboo.

I found it! (No, google search found it.)
It’s different in that context.

“Is this an enlisted man or an officer”?
“It’s a corporal.”
“Make the stitches big”
About as far as they went.

You’d be surprised at the focus one can achieve athletically when a little high on weed. Further, it can allow one to compartmentalize pain more easily in situations requiring extended stamina. Admittedly wasn’t better, say, hitting a ball with a bat-- in sports more skill than athleticism. But I could run all day, sometimes 10+ miles during a tournament weekend with a hit or two between 3 or four games per day.
Had a daily regimen of sucking on dime-sized disks of petrified ginseng root-- ostensibly, to allow more oxygen to adhere to red blood cells. In a fashion similar to dipping tobacco. Tasted worse than pennies-- but it had a positive effect.
In a sprinter’s situation-- margins are so minute-- between winning, losing-- or breaking records. Not sure I’d be doing anything remotely detrimental in the run-up to likely the most important competition of a career.

What proportion of the US public now regularly watches the evening news on TV? (And I don’t mean Fox News, which will almost certainly ignore the hearings.) It’s not like the “old days,” when almost everybody who wasn’t working the evening shift was tuned into Cronkite or Huntley-Brinkley.

Well we watch the local news at 10:00. But I get my national news from the internet mostly. Right here.

Thank the regulatory gods that you left after 12. At Bellevue we had a 60 hour shift every third week, and plenty of 12 hour shifts and 36 hour shifts during the week.

Aw shoot, they done gone and did themselves again.
People tend to overdo everything, not trusting their own body to metabolize what they put into it, and not having confidence in their own ability to detect small changes in their body chemistry. A hit or two of weed periodically sounds like just the right dose to subtly alter your game, whatever that might be at the moment.
I tune into Brian Williams regularly, audio only, to see how he summarizes and contexualizes the day’s news.
Not a hemophiliac, but have been on blood thinners. That was not a pleasant experience.
All over Mexico there are regional delights … the black beans of Chiapas, The many mole’ sauces of Oaxaca.

And every app can track you down to 3 meter… It cannot be by accident the civilian GPS resolution is limited to ~3 meter accuracy in real time
'For example, the government commits to broadcasting the GPS signal in space with a global average user range error (URE) of ≤7.8 m (25.6 ft.), with 95% probability. ’
edit… GD… sometimes I can’t help myself needing to blab historical stuff… Way back in the late 80’s as they were launching the GPS sat network I hooked up with Ashtech to do some ‘secret squirrel’ stuff. We needed a more accurate, and of course airborn system to replace the PNS system we were using for certain countermeasures activity. At the the time, to establish a reference point down to a centimeter, took nearly a half hour. You started with your center, let that lock, then move the antenna on a 10’ cable around the center at 10 degree spacing around the center. So basically 36 point in a circle around the center. This is now on a chip smaller than your pinky nail

Mild, (but important), correction: It’s a Russian-Financed pipeline, not a miles deep well.
The rupture is likely not in any way related to the latest Russian cyber attack on another U.S. Pipeline. I mean, if it were retaliation, I wouldn’t know anything about it since those guys never talk about that kind of thing.
"Expect months of GOP objection to every move the committee makes — “witch hunt!” — and dismissal of its fact-finding. But its discoveries will be covered and conclusions made known, with Republicans having very little say over the matter. For that, Republicans have no one to blame but themselves."
For them finding so many witches. If we could still burn them… imagine the pall over DC…

I’ve got a question: Who is A Aamiyahh, Accountant for the Trump Organization. He or she apparently went to Columbia University in NY between 2002-2006. Since this person’s name is all over the financial reporting, it might be nice to know what’s going on. Has A Aamiyahh turned state’s evidence?
