Beanie comments

Those who can should avail themselves of “flex time” and work-from-home options. That can held minimising crowding for others who have commute at peak times. I expect my employer will announce that everyone who can should work from home.

People like him and Pat Roberts, both of whom blames disasters on gay people, give Christians a bad name.

Would be nice to see a full picture of the outside of the building.

I have no need for this, yet like Strangerland, I can feel the twinge of a hankering.

I loved building blanket forts in the living room as a kid, and tree houses and forts (snow and lumber, depending on the season).

Perhaps instead of buying yet another tent, I should just build myself a blanket fort this weekend in my living room.

I have been really impressed with the technology and transparency. We get to hear the refs discuss decisions as they review an incident from several angles and confirm their decisions. Really amazing.

Anyone know if/when this will be available in Japan?

and for one hour, the world was a better, brighter place.

The Brits should be embarrassed for the truthful messages being leaked? Ok. That’s fair.

Will it be an air show, Wolfpack? The ones I’ve seen have always been over an airfield, rather than a city - for safety reasons. Over a city you get a flyover with some coloured trails at best.

One step into North Korea, and ....

She will now name it “Kimchi”

Herve, am I right in guessing that your link is to “Russia Today”? How reliable is that source?

This fakery May have been the straw that broke Sarah Sanders back. She could go along with a lot, but not faking the USA into a new war.

Is this why Sarah Sanders quit? She’s not willing to go along with this charade?

Bass4funk, have you seen the Netflix doc, “Get Me Roger Stone?”

I really knew nothing about the man. Now I understand him somewhat better. He is unusual, that, I think everyone can agree on.

(Oops! First paragraph above was a Laguna quote)

Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the Ainu and the Pacific Northwest indigenous cultures? I suspect they are related.

If you get a chance, I recommend a visit to the museum of northern people’s in (or around) Abashiri. I was stunned at the similarities in clothing design, decoration, etc., among not just the geographically close (well, relatively) Ainu and Inuit, but also the Sami of Finland. It got me to wondering how much and what came from having shared history (maybe) and how much and what came from having shared scenery, environment, and challenges. Fascinating place

Fantastic. Now please respect their culture, including the tattoos.

The opioid crisis is not an emergency? The number of gun deaths is not an emergency? The astronomical rates of incarceration is not an emergency?

Trump being labelled a loser by Ann Coulter is.

All the other fights were MMA, and the fighters were able to use all their training and skills. Except the main event. One fighter was hobbled, by not being allowed to use half his repetoire. Boring.

At least a lot of the earlier fights were worth watching.

Outrageous lack of thinking on the part of the government!

I hope she has a full recovery and a support network to help her out with hospital stay and rehabilitation.

Perhaps it’s time to scale back the tax exemptions for visitors. Let them pay the same sales tax as the rest of us. (And don’t raise it)

Yubaru asks:

I wonder what Trump would do if ALL the sns networks and every media outlet would just shut him out for 24 to 48 hours? Would his brain would pop?

I, for one, would really like to find out.

Calling making it “just a little more difficult” for some university students to vote a “great idea” is outrageous. You’re not supposed to publicly admit to voter suppression, silly!

I hope Google demands their donation back, as well.

Last year over a hundred US soldiers and Marines opened the march to commemorate the start of WW1.

But WW1 started in 1914. Perhaps 2017 marked the 100th anniversary on the American entry.

Single gender jobs.

He has got to go.

He is unable to perform his duties.

That is undeniable.

What a ridiculous assertion. I’m here. Week one was dominated by the cold and cold winds. Overall, it’s been dominated by Norwegians!
