I believe there is a time limit to do that, like 5 years before applying for Medicaid. I am not certain, can’t look for the specific link ATM.

Annika is fantastic! I love the lead actress. She was great in Unforgotten.

Vera is my absolute favorite British detective show! Also really enjoyed Grandchester, especially if they liked father Brown. Line of duty is pretty good too. Unforgotten is really good as well.

Potential therapeutic use and consumption…

Wait , so we can still eat the pig after it’s sacrificed for the heart?

I am not a geneticist, so maybe I am overreacting, but are they only messing with the heart genes?

I think I would like to skip the pork chops from these pigs.

Same for me. I’m in the Mid-Atlantic part of the US. I’ve gotten one every day for the last week. They all have been sent straight to spam though.

Omg that’s awesome

Their chicken is nasty IMO. I just got Purdue at Kroger and hour ago and it was 2.99 a pound for boneless/skinless. It’s my preferred brand. Butchered well, way more tender.

Ok, that’s fair. I think I got really mad about the trees :/ Especially living where I do. When I am in the concrete jungle it is crazy how much hotter it is.

Regarding emissions, I agree something has to change. On top of the oil and gas, our chemical plants are killing us too. They call where I live Chemical Valley and one town near a huge plant has the 4th highest cancer rate in the country.

Add to that, this is coal country. It’s baffling how many people around me are disabled or have lost family who worked in the mines, yet flip out when you talk about taking their coal away.

Love this!

Same here! My main issues/concerns are due to weather and the lack of a place to charge up. Already this year we’ve seen how they don’t do well in extreme cold or heat. And my area also had significant storms recently so flooding, no power, etc. And I live in an area will large hills (look like mountains, but not quite) and my friends with electric cars complain about it quite a bit. It drains the battery and struggles on some inclines.

The best I’ve seen so far is a Lexus hybrid sedan a friend has. Handles the terrain well, charges as you drive, doesn’t need plugged in at all.

I feel like they need to have more going for them until we can all switch.

Just wanted to say I agree with everything you said. As a woman who has worked with the public for 30+ years I have never said yes to someone who asked me out while working.

Thanks for sharing this. Looks fantastic

My 17yo thought I was bullshitting him when we were talking about these jokes. He googled it and was speechless. I was kinda young when they were popular but remember vividly my uncle’s telling them often.

To add to your comment, estate sales are a fantastic place to obtain all the items you just mentioned.

Setting them up is a part of my job, and the sale we just had Saturday had items relating to your post!

Basically could walk out with tons of new hobby materials for under $30. Probably under $20.

Oops wrong date! Meant 2053!

<After the war ended in 2053, humanity slowly began to rebuild civilization and the planet, eliminating sickness, hunger, poverty, and despair within two generations. Earth was mostly restored by the 22nd century as the United Earth Government formed, however there were still some lingering effects from the post atomic horror. Star Trek: Enterprise

This is where that paragraph came from (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Earth) Cool place if you’re into Star Trek

That’s just it right there. I don’t carry my birth certificate with me! We don’t have “papers” so how’s this going to work? Not to mention the huge swath this opened wide for an easy way to profile anyone, search the car, etc.

That would be nice, although remember what started it all in 2063 2053 :/

The world has lost /is losing a lot of food this past year alone. Saw an article that Georgia (US) lost 90% of it’s peaches this season, folks/farms from the Midwest and Canada either couldn’t plant at all due to lack of rain or what was planted has died already.

The dam that was blown up in Ukraine ruined a huge area of farming that has global significance as they exported a lot of grains and oil seeds.

Spain is facing over 60% crop failures and the third year without honey.

Cotton crops from Texas and Spain also at a huge loss.

I am sure there’s more, this is just off the top of my head. It’ll take a little bit for it all to show up, but we are definitely going to be feeling the effects of this by next year I’m sure.

Ok so this whole thread has me tripping about…cars. Like, I know the statistics, but my son will be driving daily to school for the first time starting in August, has only been driving occasionally since last year and I am so not ready 🤪

I love where I live (semi rural/woods) for the peace and quiet and low COL but between being 15 min from town and the terrain (Appalachia) it is impossible to not drive everywhere.
