  1. You'd be right. But if you cherish a fake election in Russia, it's no wonder that you're distressed by a real election at home.
  2. I stand corrected. OK .... who here has experience with an Accurate Tern or Tern 2?
  3. 1. The Steez has a magnesium frame? Very iffy around salt water, it's corrosion prone. 2. Lexa 500? Someone here remarked that a gain of 150 yards of line capacity isn't a good reason for $100 - $150 more. Tell me that the 500 has a much bigger gear train and I'm interested (mildly). But if all it offers is a wider frame to accommodate a wider spool, then Nope. Much as I like my Lexa 400, if I want more line capacity, I want bigger gears, etc., to back it up.
  4. I'd call CPS and separate them. I'll bet the kid stops clowning in a hurry when she's held overnight. The mother is definitely in need of an evaluation. The kid, maybe, but they definitely need a vacation from each other. Medical neglect against Mom would be legally viable. (At least in NY).
  5. Tell me. I can hardly wait.
  6. I agree with you. What's been described is not consistent with Munchausen's by proxy, which someone brought up. MBP involves parents who impute all kinds of medical complaints and issues to their child. This appears different; it appears that Mom is defending the child's delusion. Mother may be whackier than the child. The child may simply be playing the brat.
  7. Coming back to Justice Jackson, the oral arguments in today's case pertain to whether states can bar Federal officials from asking big Internet firms to take down some posts. Most of the Justices seemed sympathetic to the idea that as long as there's no coercion, it's o.k. to ask. Counsel could present no instances of Federal coercion.
  8. Yes, it's abusive. It says a lot about political conformity in Germany, at least at the school in question. "Locking people up in Canada for memes ..." I missed this. And who got arrested for commenting on smurf videos? "My political ideology." Let's see, President Trump today called for former Rep. Cheney's incarceration, and the arrest of Cassidy Hutchinson for testifying against him. I think your worries are grossly misplaced.
  9. Most of Harf's post aren't worth "substantive" comment. They ARE good for jokes, though.
  10. I suspect that they're sharing a common delusion, and that it's not simply a bratty kid amusing herself by manipulating her mother. Such things do happen - rarely, thank heaven.
  11. In your case, I'll put in a good word for you and get you good stiff brush. Save you from scratching too much.
