i doubt zelensky et al are interested in the chinese "peace plan".

zelensky can use a meeting with xi to get more from the west.

indeed.

where in the above 12 points does china say anything about conceding territory.

china says precisely nothing about russia conceding ukrainian territory. it is a plan to "consolidate...

thanks jack.

thanks dave for the study links.

looks like a good spot to park the kubota. the white gravel sets off the orange paint and identifies any oil leaks.

some of the cases were delayed, it's true. because the heroes shaved their beards and put on wigs and fake spectacles and went to live in their aunt's basement.

well, he would say that, wouldn't he.

but what was the real effect of the show on people who watched it?

i have seen you post a picture of yourself looking like the meth cook, eh?

i have...

i've long thought that it looks like it was designed for a futuristic movie. like, "here's some sheet metal, fab me something sleek and futurish."

not bad by that standard.

thanks, yes, graying nicely.

i did recently binge a few seasons before it devolved into long expository talky scenes set in living rooms and offices. (same thing happened to peaky blinders). i didn't make it to that scene.

why not one more from yesterday.

iphone snaps but i took them myself.

i have a ruined employee meth story as well.

one of my first employees circa '98 was a local youth who walked onto the jobsite looking for labor.

my gosh fitz, you've been through the wringer and then some.

this procedure sounds mighty smart. i have never played a doctor on tv but i think it will work!



i assume you will suffer...

i find these elections excruciating. not a fan. but i guess it's the kind of thing people do.

i respect your choice to not have children. i guess. i mean, at least as much as you respect my choice to reproduce, maybe, apparently, more.

excellent exposition, yes.

a similar treatise might be written about life. life always leads to death. it can be postponed, be put in remission, at least briefly. but it is inevitable.

dad had this album (double?) when i was a kid. formative, it was.

my own kids can sing thirty thousand pounds of bananas. that makes them special, these days. it doesn't take much.

ok but, what if one car isn't moving and the other is going fifty. do they both experience the damage of a vehicle traveling into a wall at 50mph? or 25mph? or other.

ewww. seriously? so gross.

one stone and one and one tenth stone?

i'm not good with the metric system.

i feel much the same on all counts. in a better world, supporters of reproductive choice could afford such a subtle conversation. but, we are forced to traffic in absolutes in response to absolutes.

and here is something interesting: ron desantis has flipped from his position of indifference towards the ukraine invasion, called putin a "war criminal". that if he could "snap his fingers" he'd...
