'Outside of a few plainly-corrupt politicians (like a certain senator from West Virgina),' And some really manky British politicians.

Just found it and managed to load it into Niagara launcher.

Excellent looking, but it's only been running for 5 mins so I can't really judge it ;-)

After a reccomendation on here, I'm working my way through the World War series by Harry Turtledove. Currently halfway through Striking The Balance. Excellent series but I must admit to skimming in places in this volume. I feel that it's been padded out a bit. Will keep on though and finish the series. Excellent author and really does go into alternative history scenarios with detail.

Also, as I have since about 1967, constantly reading The Lord Of The Rings ;-)

What's in it for the fish?

Totally agree, but like I said, years ago we didn't know any different. no excuse now though. Can't afford the pet? Don't have one. There are questions being asked about vet prices here in UK at the moment. £25 for a couple of pills etc. There were some drops I was advised to put on my cat's food - £45 from the vet, under £10 online :-(

The autism in dogs part got me as well.

I know what you mean about some people and the cost though, vet bills are $teep!

Thinking back to when we had pets when I was a kid (1960s) we never took them to vets etc. unless ot was absolutely necessary. We couldn't afford it and we didn't know better. Now, I spend more on my cat's teeth than I do my own!

I thought was a spoof post - then I saw it was USA. And now those morons will push it onto FB and even more morons will pick up on it. And animals will suffer because of human stupidity.

That's excellent. Pity we don't make more use of things like that now.

Oops, just looked at the other link!

But they are British. So they're allowed to do it.

A couple of the people I served with in the Army moved abroad after years of slagging off forriners. One went to Hungary, but came back pretty sharpish when he developed cancer and needed long term treatment only available on the NHS. Another lives in the Pyrenees and his FB posts are all about local events and in French. What annoys me is that he still spouts off about what a great idea brexit was. He wouldn't understand irony if it kicked him in the balls.

Yep. That's brexit!

I wonder if they're going to buy 30,000 new PCs or just download and install a distro.
