It probably would have been around the same time a coworker of mine who was in his 70s and both his parents were alive and over 100. His father injured himself and my coworker filed a claim (medicare, I believe) and he had investigators come around because a 100 year old man filing a claim sounded like fraud, so it's not like they weren't on top of these things before.

Looks like we have ourselves a good, old-fashioned smug-off! Winston Wolfe beat me to it, but I can't resist.

Why Grammar Matters: A Place To Discuss Matters Of Grammar
Lugal replied to candall's topic in Everything Else
I'll take a crack at it. I think it's due to the wine-whine merger where in most (but not all) dialects of English, /w/ and /wh/ are pronounced the same. And like Browncoat said, people know there's an H in there, but they aren't sure where. -
Rubio is a creation of Sheldon Adelson. Even Trump called him Adelson's "Perfect Little Puppet" in a tweet back in 2015 https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/653884577300267008

I'm not British, but as Mondrianyone pointed out Seamus Heaney was Irish. -
Why Grammar Matters: A Place To Discuss Matters Of Grammar
Lugal replied to candall's topic in Everything Else
In his translation of Beowulf, Seamus Heaney chose to use "So" for the first word of the poem Hwæt (which is often translated as Lo!, Hark! or Listen!) because, as he puts it: -
Underneath it all, she was just pissed off because he didn't cover his shift. Zincite (I'm pretty sure that's what they said it was) is not that rare, only zincite crystals are (in nature. They can be grown synthetically). And they're pretty!

S04.E14: Alexander Hamilton and the Ruffle Kerfuffle
Lugal replied to Neptune's topic in Ghosts (US)
This was the drafting of the Declaration, not the signing. Which is why they stole Isaac's line "pursuit of happiness" and in earlier drafts, it was "property." I liked the affection they all showed for Thor and watching out for him, but as a pagan, is Hell, the infernal realm of eternal torment, a place he would even go? I think he would be more concerned about the goddess Hel, who ruled the realm in Niflheim, a dark place where those who did not die a heroic death would end up. It feels like they missed an opportunity here, especially last week when Thor talks about the wolf Sköll chasing the sun into the underworld and "sorry to get all scientific." -
It's kind of a stupid cover story, something that will draw attention. La Femme Joss could just say she's going to Cleveland and no one will care. Are they going to supply badly photoshopped pictures (Because you know people will want to see pics!) of Joss in front of the moai too? Trina: Easter Island! So cool! You got to see the moai up close! Joss: What's a moai?

Zelensky forgot one key thing: “It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.” ― Henry Kissinger Please, Lindsey Graham is a bootlicker who never met a war he didn't like, he'll suck up to whatever republican is in power. They don't need anything on him. It's already happening

I'm so glad your experience with poverty worked out for you. It doesn't for everyone. Everyone's life is different. Poverty is expensive when people have to pay over half their income in rent. Falling back on the old standard of calling poor people lazy (and implying they're stupid as well), that's disappointing, but not surprising. Poor people do work hard in hard jobs that do not sustain them. Some even have to fight for their right to sit down. And for the record, I know how to cook, and I cook most of my meals. It takes time and energy. A quick google search finds a pasta primavera recipe that takes about 30 minutes including prep and cook time (but doesn't factor in cleanup time). A lot of people don't have that kind of time whether they're between shifts or just tired from standing for 8 or more hours. As for teaching people nutrition and how to cook, considering Trump and Linda McMahon want to abolish the Dept. of Education, that would fly counter to that objective.

Milestone Moments: All The Celebrity Vitals

I don't think it was murder. I'm just guessing, but it sounds like he may have fallen and she may have been distraught enough to take her own life. My conjecture too. -
I agree with all of that, and if governments want to ban them as unsafe, I'm fine with that. But to just say that poor people can't have it, I can't agree with it. And for the record, I haven't drank soda for probably twenty-some years. Don't miss it. People should not be drinking it for hydration.

At least that was true. All the other reasons he gave -- that she's smart and emotionally controlled and can handle herself in danger -- were lies. I called it before: La Femme Joss Not a big fan of killing off the women after Michael's done with them. Bad implications. Honestly, Katelyn MacMullen seems to have some talent, I just wish they'd let her tell Willow's actual story: A brainwashed cult survivor who escaped only to develop an unhealthy attachment to a child that wasn't hers and was then used and manipulated by powerful men for their own reasons as she struggles to reconnect to the only family she has.
