@ToruOkada When we needed new dentists, because of staff shortages, they told actual dentists, if you want to work in England you can, but if you want to work in Scotland, you have to pay a £5000 fee. My new dentist told me this.

and if my American friends vote wrong, or worse don't vote at all, this will only be the start

"The chapter covering the intelligence community is by Dustin Carmack. For the last half-year of the Trump administration, he was chief of staff to Director of National Intelligence...He was policy director for Ron DeSantis...he’s currently Meta’s director of public policy in the southern and southeastern United States."

I can't believe what just happened...Siri dialed 911 when I said the word shoot out loud and the police called me back. I think voice to text and voice assistants are another hit and miss, geezus!

Residents File Class Action Lawsuit Against BioLab for Toxic Plume

This isn't even the first time an incident at the Conyers, Georgia BioLab plant has forced residents out of their homes.

More images of what I see under the microscope. This was algae (little dots) and ???? from the wildlife water bucket.

This thing would pulse, expanding its "mouth" and then suddenly shrinking back into a ball, then expanding again, over and over. Google images isn't helping ID it.
