Drusas

I read somewhere a few days ago that there’s supposed to be something like one translator per 30 (?) North Koreans. I don’t know if it’s accurate.

Good. It is literally the least we could do.

Now let them use the weapons we’ve been sending as they see fit.

They also haven’t seen the shantytowns on the outskirts of the cities.

This is cool, but in what way is it news?

I had never even heard of them having this content.

Funny, I thought it just sounded pathetic.

We’re seeing similar in Seattle, except the kids doing the burglaries, car jackings, shootings, etc, are often in their later teens.

Can confirm. My graduate CS class was almost entirely young men from China. There were two or three young women from China as well. And, including myself, I think three non-international students (all of us Caucasian).

International students are very profitable for universities, and there are a lot of young Chinese men applying for them in the US. And Australia, from what I’ve read.

Serious brain drain.

It’s to replenish for the next war, and the next and the next.

And this is why the government is now restricting birth control. Need more soldiers for the grinder.

I should hope so. They should be under investigation.

This was such a bad prisoner exchange.

Don’t feel too bad for him. He’s getting in on the action in Ukraine.

Well, this should make prosecuting them later easier.

I wonder if that might be the case. My dad said that it wasn’t painful, so I’m not sure. The needles are apparently very thin.

I would expect, just like with pharmaceutical medicine, there is a placebo effect for some people and so it gets really complicated trying to determine how effective something like acupuncture is.

It makes no sense at all for preventative medicine like vaccinations not to be 100% covered. They reduce costs in the long term, so everyone wins.

Because they want to continue this slow and steady escalation rather than have a sudden one. It’s escalating regardless. It will escalate as long as Putin thinks he can get away with it.

My dad has lingering (in fact, worsened now that he’s getting older) pain and contortions and his foot that was nearly severed when he was a teenager. He’s very much not into alternative medicine and that sort of thing, but he finally decided to try acupuncture about two years ago. He says it helped. Only thing that has helped.

I’m still skeptical, but I’m a little bit less skeptical because he’s the sort to be skeptical of it as well.

Amusingly, as an American, one thing that is 100% covered by my insurance is vaccines. Getting the Covid, flu, and RSV vaccines next week for free.

That’ll work out a lot better for them if people don’t just shoot them every time they see them on land.
