Iriddle80 - have you posted about your experiences and stories previously? I hear this so often -- I use to feel the same way myself but realized it was just coincidental -- in my case.

35The biggest mistake.
by Half banana ina long time ago, before television radio and films, before printing, before the invention of writing, people listened only to the spoken word—and the cry of birds, the wind whistling through the trees and the sea crashing on the sea shore.
before written text they knew about the gods because high up there in the night sky was where they lived; gods, goddesses and immortal heroes.
the constellations told of their exploits.

Anyone Tried "Sous Vide" Cooking?
by Simon ini like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.
can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?
i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.

Thx/sounds intriguing and challenging for us around here -- I'm more on the level of using skillet/oil/butter on gas cooktop to brown the outside but the torch probably cleaner/less stove top mess and more efficient once familiar with process. I think I'll order and have my tech-y adult kid who loves that kind of thing set up.
You are cutting-edge tech! Thanks.

The president responsible was the great orator, Obama -- our country's most corrupt yet! He and Ole Hil had it all wrapped up with the aid of the Russians.

Dumb dems are dead in the water but they will try every magic act possible (luck out and succeed at some point/evil prevails) -- after all they don't want the public investigating the swamp and the cover blown how political lifers of such incompetence/ineptness equals swampers (both sides) walking away from public office on less than a $200K/yr salary miraculously turned into multi-millionaire status. Obama/senile Biden ring a bell -- the taxpayers have been asleep. Ahh, but the swamp loves you and wants you to have everything for free - they received free and want to give free -- equal distribution - free everything except Obama slipped on that promise and better health care, and oh my a litany of socialist crazy -- priceless.

NO NO & NO -- because it doesn't come under the requirements of high crimes and misdemeanors - BOTTOM LINE regardless what the Dems are trying to do. Plus the Senate is never going to convict him unless there is some really bad act like Clinton/Nixon.
We keep hearing about impeachment but what are the factual grounds?

Sounds great -- I can't stand steak cooked in the oven or broiler and it's way too hot in summertime to live here much less grill. Can't wait to try this out and appreciate the info.

Great topic, Simon - this is so interesting. I'm going to watch the video and order the Anova Nano on Amazon or wherever I can find it. Keeping the veggies immersed sounds a tad challenging. The steaks/asparagus/chicken look delectable.
Thanks for all the info.

I, too, big fan - have a couple of Cohen's CDs. He was quite a talent. KD Lang's Hallelujah is beautiful.

Compensation claims against Jehovah’s Witnesses could be jeopardised: lawyer
by Tahoe inhttps://www.crikey.com.au/2019/09/12/compensation-claims-jehovahs-witnesses/.
dr judy courtin explains to inq why the destruction of documents could have huge ramifications for victims inside the jehovah’s witnesses.. an order by the jehovah’s witnesses in australia to destroy confidential records could undermine a child abuse compensation claim currently being prepared for the supreme court of victoria.
a lawyer representing the victim says she was shocked to learn that the christian body had ordered confidential documents, including notes taken by elders investigating child sexual abuse, to be destroyed.

That's scary it could be difficult but I believe it -- conversely have they ever told the truth.

Do You Think People Should Be Scorned For Wearing A Red MAGA Hat?
by minimus indo you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?
if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

Ignorance of society identifying/terming humans. We're all a composite of colors -- all races have urban/slang terms and some more user friendly than others. Even Aryan (white) term is outdated today and I haven't heard the "coloured" term used in decades or at least in the west. Per science facts determining visible wavelengths in color theory and basis for the educated art world, black and white are NOT even colors so you see we're all equal in color theory so let's make it simple. White contains visible light - black void of any (in dark/light world) but we wrongly refer to black and white as colors the same as yellow/blue/red, etc. No big deal as all races are coined some derogative/disparaging terms, but I understand your point.
I can't tell you how many times here in the West I've been termed "a gringo" by children of Hispanic or Latino heritage - it's hilarious and that's what they've 'heard' out of the mouths of the parents. I don't take it personally and not as bad as some words we've all been called. I thought a "gringo" was someone that didn't/couldn't eat salsa/peppers like my husband but I consume more of that stuff than they do and felt I was almost Mexican.
