By and large WE paid for that work. So let me ask this again … WHOSE cures?

> to be a disembodied spirit is not a thing to be desired

Really? What do you think you are in your dreams?

I thought that only the President was allowed to set foreign policy. Did I miss something?

I can prove purchase of a firearm depository … my (paid off) mortgage. And it's protected by strong locks, too.

If McConnell is determined to avert another shutdown (really, avoiding that is NOT the Holy Grail) all he has to do is come back with a clean bill with at least $5.7 bn in unhindered funding for a border WALL or FENCE, as appropriate to the landscape and local threat. Eazy-peazy.>>4954656

I have one of those toilet seats. It's not wood, it's pressed and stamped bamboo and it splinters on the inside rim … right where your goodies can scrape it. Probably won't have to work tomorrow, so heading over the hardware store for a replacement that won't shiv the shaft.

Easy solution? Have Don or Melania pay a courtesy call to the last place she is reported to have been to see how she's doing. It is, after all, simply the decent thing to do. Maybe take the old girl a box of chocolates.

Butane lighters are NOT reliable when you most need them … in extreme cold the fuel tank loses pressure and will not expel the gas. You'll see the fuel, you'll shake it, you'll wear your thumb out trying to start it, though. However, they will create a small spark that may be useful with very fine tinder (pulverized pine needles or cat tail fluff, for instance).

At 40% blood by volume, you do not need blood, per se … but you do need additional blood volume and even simple saline or Ringers solution works just fine for that. The problem isn't that the blood can't carry enough oxygen to the cells – it can – but that it won't get there because there isn't enough liquid volume for the heart to work with. Solution 1) plug the hole 2) get an iv of just about anything started.

Allow me to add that there is no need to boil water for a prolonged time. Sterilization happens below the boiling point but the bubbles serve as a sort of crude thermometer. Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat. By the time it is cool enough to drink, it is sterile. It may TASTE like shit, (try to collect it upstream from where large numbers of livestock are pastured!) but it won't make you sick from bacteria, viruses and so on. NOTE: if you are boiling water for cooking purposes, it doesn't have to be sterile before using it. Sometimes fuel is in short supply … don't waste it. Sometimes you don't want to be seen … learn how to make a SMALL, smokeless fire and get rid of it ASAP. Look up "Dakota Fire pit / hole".

Absotively posilutely four soitan. We, the people, aren't done. In fact, you ain't seen nothing yet.

But you will.
