My doctor is getting stronger. I’m up to six apples a day and he just keeps inching closer

I’m a medical doctor. The whole anti-vaccine thing that has been growing for decades is very sad to me. I don’t see the affected kids because I’m not a pediatrician, but the science denial just doesn’t make any sense. It’s the kids if the unvaccinated and the vulnerable in society that suffer.

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

We’ve all thought worse I’m sure.

Geez. I really don’t think mandatory and death penalty should ever go together in the same sentence. I’m no lawyer but I don’t it would pass an appeal from a legal standpoint.

Elon Musk was mocked after raging against "unelected bureaucrats" in an Oval Office rant oblivious to the fact that he was describing himself.

Can you give me a hint what the Rosen trap involves?

This is the way.

Vaping, Smoking and Lung Cancer Risk Nicotine exposure through the use of electronic delivery systems (vaping) has been found to elevate the risk of certain conditions of the lungs, e.g.,

I found one article done with Ohio state:

They found risk of developing lung cancer was 4x higher with dual use of vape and cigarettes compared to just cigarettes. So basically one possible conclusion is both are bad, but cig + vape especially bad.

A doctor friend told me of a recent study showing if you smoke and vape, it’s worse than just smoking, supposedly by a substantial margin. I can’t find the study right now but may be worth a google.

Hero Pilot 'Sully' Was Asked About Trump Blaming DC Crash On 'DEI'—And His Reaction Says It All Sully is all of us.

Exactly Sully.

Thanks, I’m
Freyguy on lichess.

Sometimes I don’t like if it’s too predictable, but if I predict it like pretty close to when it happens that’s ok. If it’s like you can see it coming from a mile away may be less good?

I’ve been looking for people to play with that “know” rather than always random people. If you want to play some correspondence on lichess and then analyze the games let me know.

lol!

Interesting!

Practice a lot of tactics puzzles. Also analyze your chess games.

Thanks!
