I don't really want to dignify this nonsense with a response, but:

*porn is still everywhere
*you can still masturbate without it
*men are not the only ones who do either
*a once great nation brought to its knees by male irritability

The doctor's name is Dix.

Am I being punked.
"Watching porn activates the reward systems in the brain. If you suddenly stop watching porn, your brain may miss the dopamine spikes that come with rewards. This may lead to mood swings, leading to increased irritability and anxiety. Many people may have habitually made consuming porn part of their bedtime routine, which can lead to insomnia l". Insomnia can cause serval issues day to day for those affected - but Dr Dix has some recommendations.

If the ACA is dead, most of us in the US will be uninsurable for any amount of money due to pre-existing conditions. Covid will be one of them. As it damages *all* organ systems, anything can and will be linked to Covid.

No, though that's a reasonable guess, that neighborhood has never been sketchy at all. That house sold for about 2.4 million in 1999. What you're seeing in the MLS is an artifact of six lots being purchased together when the house was built and the database being messy
screenshot of the reader view of a Baltimore Sun article: Home brings record price in Guilford; Sylvan co-founder submits contract of at least $2.4 million; Built by BMA designer By • December 5, 1999 at 12:00 AM EST A five-bedroom Guilford home, built in 1914 by the architect who designed the Baltimore Museum of Art, has been sold for what is called the highest price in the city's history.

Email for clarification is away. I think there's no way this 4 story FSAE requirement is real, and our realistic worst case risk is that the misunderstanding goes back to before they made the very good decision to take out the Rescue Air requirement.
Screenshot of a sent email, requesting clarification from the Berkeley Fire Marshal. Full text: "Dear Fire Marshal Whyte, Thank you for your presentation to Berkeley City Council on Monday night, about adoption of the 2025 fire code and local amendments. I support your change to Local Amendment L, removing FARS/Rescue Air requirements from our city code. In your presentation and responses to Council, you explained that, in addition to the ineffectiveness and poor maintainability of FARS systems, one reason for removing that requirement is that city or state code will require Fire Service Access Elevators (FSAEs) for all buildings above four stories (video link, timestamps ~38:00 and ~46:30). This was concerning to me, since FSAEs require expensive building systems such as generator power, trench drains, and dedicated waterproofed shafts, which would impact the viability of low-rise infill development. As I understand the 2025 state code (and I am no expert), FSAEs will need to comply with Section 3007, but, owing to the reference to Section 403.6.1, will still only be required for buildings with an occupied floor higher than 120 feet. Could you clarify your comments in the Council meeting, and please confirm Berkeley does not plan to require FSAEs in buildings <120ft? Thank you,"

There is also distinctive lack of mentioning Scandinavian NASAMS and German IRIS-L and IRIS-T

From Information i managed to gather, both of these systems score over 90% interception rate, with German IRIS system in some instances having 99% interception rate.

Ajami is still used by some for these languages. There are usage conventions, but lack of standardization limits utility. There are recent efforts to standardize (but at least one was based on systems outside of Africa)

Fwiw, in 1986-7 I studied Ajami for Pular using Arensdorff's 1913 (1966) book:

The new ICE-L trains look really nice. A very good train for lots of seasonal and international routes where dual mode diesel/electric systems are needed. Very excited to ride one

Ich hatte die letzten Tage die Gelegenheit, auf zwei Testfahrten des neuen ICE L (Talgo) mitzufahren 🚄

Meiner Meinung nach ein ganz solider Zug. Nicht weniger laufruhig als andere ICE, zudem mir gefällt die familiäre Atmosphäre mit den kurzen Wagen. Cool ist natürlich v.a. der ebenerdige Einstieg
ICE 1149 bestehend aus einem Vectron-Sandwich 193 448 und 193 440 mit 17 ICE-L-Wagen dazwischen bei der Einfahrt in den Dortmunder Hauptbahnhof Blick entlang des ICE L mit seinen vielen kurzen Wagen beim Halt des ICE 1149 im Bahnhof Löhne (Westfalen) Tür an Wagen 13 mit ebenerdigem Einstieg und Spaltüberbrückung, wie man es aus Regionalzügen oder Straßenbahnen kennt Blick in einen 1.-Klasse-Wagen mit 2+1-Bestuhlung, Überkopfablagen und einem Gepäckregal ganz links

“To ask a politician to lead us is to ask the tail of a dog to lead the dog.”
--Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983)
From "The Designers and the Politicians" (1962)
And “Beyond Left & Right: Radical Thought for Our Times” (ed. Richard Kostelanetz, 1968, p. 368)
“To ask a politician to lead us is to ask the tail of a dog to lead the dog.” --Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) From "The Designers and the Politicians" (1962) And “Beyond Left & Right: Radical Thought for Our Times” (ed. Richard Kostelanetz, 1968, p. 368) #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #buckminsterfuller Fuller’s metaphor attacks the idea of looking to conventional politicians (the “tail”) to guide society (the “dog”). He argues that politics is reactive, dealing with symptoms of human and systemic issues rather than proactively designing solutions. The “designer” in his paradigm is the one who thinks ahead, integrates systems, and builds frameworks that enable progress—rather than the elected official who typically steers from within the constraints of existing structures. Fuller’s worldview sees design science (anticipatory thinking, ecological consciousness, systems awareness) as the real leadership engine, rather than traditional political power. The message can also resonate beyond politics: don’t wait for leadership from the “wrong” place (institutions, people stuck in frameworks) if you’re aiming to shape future narratives or cultural norms. WhoFuller’s line prompts you to ask: who really leads the story? And if that leadership is weak, are you going to step in as designer, author of your own narrative, rather than wait for someone else to take the reins?

4:47 New Zealand Centre for Politi... • Join Philip Conroy • 3d • 9 I'm fed up. Six years of Labour left New Zealand buried in debt, divided by race, and drowning in broken promises. Now the same people who caused the mess are touring the country moaning about how bad things are and that it's the current governments fault. Let's get the facts straight, once and for all. When Labour took power in 2017, annual core Crown spending was $76 billion and net core Crown debt sat at $60 billion. By the time they were booted out in 2023, spending had hit $139 billion—an extra $63 billion every single year-and debt had more than doubled to $155 billion. That's not "kindness"; that's a mortgage on every taxpayer's future. National has already stabilised the debt track and cut the fat, but unwinding a decade of reckless borrowing isn't an overnight job. Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar Labour stole from schools, hospitals, and roads. Capital gains tax In 2017 Labour swore blind there would be no new taxes for 95 percent of Kiwis and repeatedly ruled out a capital gains tax. Now, in 2025, they're openly campaigning for a 28 percent CGT on rental properties, shares, and family businesses to pay for their latest wish list. Once they break a promise, they never stop. Covid cowardice Covid cowardice The 2025 Royal Commission laid bare the lockdown disaster—$200 million wasted, small businesses crushed, mental health in tatters. Yet Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins, Grant Robertson, and Ayesha Verrall all refused to front up in person. They sent written notes, dodged the hearings, and kept classified documents locked away. The public paid the bill; they won't even face the music. Division by stealth Division by stealth Labour quietly signed us up to the UN's indigenous-rights action plan and rolled out a secret 2040 roadmap for co-governance-parallel systems in health, water, justice, and local government based on race. Three Waters gave unelected tribal appointees 50 percent control of water assets-National scrapped it. The Maori Health Authority swallowed $1.5 billion and delivered longer waiting times for everyone-National shut it down. Bill after bill was amended to entrench division. Labour split us on purpose. Climate cash black hole Billions blown on dodgy overseas carbon credits while power prices soared and emissions barely moved. Handing our sovereignty to UN climate funds was the final insult. Labour now screams that everything is "falling apart." They're right about the symptoms, dead wrong about the cause. National is cutting the waste, restoring one law for all, and steering us back to surplus. The job is nowhere near finished. If you're as angry as l am, share this. Never again. At the bottom of this incoherent rants is a sketch of Ardern and Hipkins with a sign saying “Face the Music”

Artwork for the 220th episode of TrekRanks featuring "Abstract L." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an aerial view of the USS Lakota in DS9's "Paradise Lost" in the upper right corner. Across the middle from left to right are a couple of "losers" from "Tear of the Prophets," a Lysarrian Desert Larvae from "Similitude" and pieces of Lore's body from "Datalore. As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.
