If Harris loses, I think there is a strong chance that the powers that be will remove Biden from office using the 25th amendment, so that Kamala could be the first woman president. (Maybe I just like the idea because I’m tickled by seeing how far Kamala can go without winning an election.)
If she loses, Biden will get a lot of blame for sabotaging her campaign, and this would be the perfect revenge.

What if it was slow because of an influx of Haitian refugees in the area?

You’re probably right. I’ve been hearing it more and more frequently lately and associated it with twitter being a more free place and cancellation not working as well as it once did.

This is just a reverse application of “When I am Weaker Than You, I ask you for Freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am Stronger than you, I take away your Freedom Because that is according to my principles.
First there was cancel culture, with people of all walks of life getting canceled for going against the party narrative (remember the scientist who got canceled for his shirt). Then (interestingly seems to have starred around the time Elon took over twitter) a denial that there is such a thing as cancel culture, and it is just a right wing boogeyman (eg how can cancel culture exist if Shane Gillis is more popular now than when he was canceled from snl) . Now, we’re at the stage when the right is using cancel culture and the left is angry it exists.
The left is very good at progressing by disavowing it’s failures (eg eugenics) and only remembering its successes.
Hopefully cancel culture will be one of those failures, but I think it is too much a part of human nature to ever go away.

Want to make your theoretical movie even more interesting? Make two versions of the movie and release them simultaneously. In one the extremists are right wing and the government is left wing. In the other, the extremists are left wing and the government is right wing . Create a realistic portrayal of both sides, not cartoon villainy, and see how they both do.

Would you be interested in doing a little write up of it here? I’d love to see more information about this.

Doctors don’t recommend multiple cesareans because the scarring accumulates and leads to bad outcomes.
On the other hand, doctors often will not allow a vaginal birth after a cesarean. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/labor-and-delivery/in-depth/vbac/art-20044869
So once you have one cesarean, you’re pretty much going to have only cesareans, which will limit the number of healthy pregnancies.
—— on a slightly related note, I've heard stories from mothers where the doctors basically decided to do a cesarean because the labor was taking too long and the doctor didn't want to stick around.

Before the movies came out the books themselves were adapted for an American audience. The example, the first book renamed the philosopher’s stone to the sorcerer’s stone.
There were 2 versions of the audio books. The British version narrated by Stephen fry and the American version narrated by Jim dale.

If the spreadsheet has the data, and it was just hidden, then she didn’t perjure herself by saying she handed over all the data.

Here’s Matt Damon explaining that the death of DVD sales killed mid budget movies that took risks.
He doesn’t give quantitative analysis.

Sure. And don’t do any transitions until you can reliably tell the difference.
But at the moment, a doctor feel pressured to do the opposite.

I think it is important to add that he invited her to discuss a business opportunity. He wanted to offer his knowledge of online subscription to Jordan Peterson.

There’s the old joke of a governor interviewing prisoners, determining why they were incarcerated. After prisoner after prisoner professed their innocence, one prisoner said he was in jail for theft. The warden quickly proclaims, release this man from jail, before he corrupts all these innocent men.

There are studies that show that the addition of vinegar in a carb rich meal lowers glucose and insulin response in healthy individuals, which is associated with weight loss.
My understanding is that Japanese food has a lot of vinegar in it, which may have contributed. I don’t know if it would offset 9000 calorie meals.

I thought Salt was a really good action movie with a female lead. I remember seeing talk of a sequel but it never went anywhere.
I’m not sure how well the movie did in the box office.

I have no experience in pond building, but here are two suggestions anyway. Look into natural pools. https://youtube.com/@organicpools-davidpaganbutler — this guy designs and builds them with filtration systems.
Also, what about building a second pond that gets its water pumped in from the first pond instead of the spring and runoff? With the right filtration you can keep it silt free.

I’ve been feeling under the weather for the past couple weeks, and am thinking about doing a cleanse to see if that can jumpstart my body’s immune system.
Any recommendations for a healthy cleanse, maybe lasting up to 6 days?

If each bill was only one item that would be a huge improvement. Want to pass a 6000 page bill? Break it up into 6000 items and vote on each one individually.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=CVGeQepBlqk I remember watching this news story out of abeline, Texas. A California judge used a fluoride study to sue the EPA to stop putting fluoride in the water. The city of a Elise used this as an excuse to remove fluoride from their water, while stressing that their fluoride situation was nothing like the one in the study, and their fluoride levels actually meet the guidelines.
