Memes are fine but let’s not forget how to tell a good joke!

Also I block ho-bots.
Don’t listen to them. You’re a lemur. No two ways about it. :-)

I often wondered what would happen if the Orange thing did shrooms. Or Stephen Müller. But while shrooms can show you things, they won’t do the work for you.

Still, I’d pay to see it.

no doubt some people did but I’m convinced that a lot of the people who say they voted for Obama actually didn’t. It’s just a political counterpart of “I’m not racist, I have black friends.”

“I didn’t get a diphtheria vaccination and I still never got diphtheria.”

“100 years ago there weren’t any vaccinations, and people did just fine. Kids were healthy because they didn’t eat processed foods.”

And some of those kids were illegals. Or someone said they were.

The big issue is the disruption in working with living material, if planting windows are missed there is nothing that can be done this year and we are a year behind. Unfortunately living material is not like working with other materials.

Hope that helps

The other problem is that while on leave waiting to hear if they will have jobs, the scientists are not allowed in the federal buildings to take care of the plants, and so important deadlines are missed for management like planting, transplanting or spraying.

Many of the remainder are on administrative leave as the courts decide if they will be brought back. The terminations were not even across all of the stations. Some lost none, some lost many.

So, I heard back from one of the authors. He had this to say:

10% of the NPGS received termination letters in February. Of those who were terminated I know of 3 who were reinstated and have returned to work.

The US did not bomb Saigon. Which is not to downplay US bombings of other parts of S. Vietnam, Agent Orange, and more. The N. Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong bombings targeted an air base, a restaurant, the US Embassy and a hotel where US Army brass were staying.

The people who wrote the article should have at least some in that information.
