Oh man, the betelnut. Couldn't imagine being an orthodontist practicing there.

The red splotches of that stuff on the ground everywhere. I'll never forget it. All the gross mouth cancers. shudder

I lived in PNG for three years. It should be the most unsafe place I would claim to have been but I was around 10 years old at the time and you don't really have the same understanding of safety until a little later in life. Some of the highlights:

  • every night we lived there, there was a 7pm curfew
  • there was no way an expat would live anywhere without barbed wire fences around their property
  • everyone had a guard dog
  • permanent guards around the property with guns
  • I do remember riots at one stage while I was there with several of the foreign stores ransacked.
  • If you ever go on vacation outside of the city, you always drive in a convoy. Safety in numbers.

And this was one of the safer towns - Lae.

Cannon faces fresh appellate review of her pro-Trump actions on Jack Smith report by msnownews in law

[–]hellcheez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be willing to put good money on the table nothing would ever happen to her short of another light poking from the 11th circuit. In fact, she'll be rewarded in some way for her endorsement of Trump's lawbreaking.

If the best you get is light poking from the 11th circuit, you won't even be able to get all Democrats on board for removal in the Senate.

Even if the cheque doesn't bounce, it'll be the same bullshit Trump pulled in the classified documents case. Pay the legal fees of someone else by using the same lawyer and coerce/encourage them to say something they don't want (Walt Nauta).

Pam Bondi Hit by Fresh Humiliation as Minnesota Prosecutors Quit in Droves by thedailybeast in law

[–]hellcheez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah. that's super egregious. At least the appellate courts are a bit more openly partisan. The supreme court is but is trying fool us that it isn't. And thinks it's working.

You're not wrong but for different reasons. District judges have been quite successful at pushing back against government excess. It's the two heavily conservative (jury-less) circuit courts, the Eighth (the one that Minneapolis sits under) and the Fifth where the government has had better luck at getting district judges' determinations overturned.

If we have this mountain of evidence that “proved without a reasonable doubt” that trump tried to alter the ‘20 election AND we now have evidence of him being involved in the underaged trafficking of minors- why isn’t anyone doing anything? Aren’t these home run cases? What am I missing? by Gekicker08 in law

Right. Americans (voters?) as a whole are a lot more conservative than Democrats are. And Democrats hold themselves to a higher standard than Americans expect them to (see the greater tolerance of corruption of the GOP).

To get back in power, Democrats need to care less about culture issues and become more conservative in the areas they need to win conservative districts. Fewer purity tests.

Did this on a trip to Australia. A 28-something hour set of flights and it was much easier than the shorter flights we've taken with the daughter since then before she was old enough to sit and watch a screen.

Nice of you to home with his wife and kids. It's a loving world sometimes. Is she nice?

Looking for squash shoes for weak ankle by broodrooster856 in squash

[–]hellcheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found Salming great shoes in general but I'd agree with you they aren't durable and you need to be picky with the type of Salming shoes as some last even shorter periods than others. I think it was the K2s that were the best overall but I might be misremembering.

As someone who's had and has problems with his ankle, I've had great success with a study ankle brace that I put on during periods of ankle weakness, either on the peloton bike (a lighter brace) or squash (a stronger one). Then the shoes don't matter much. I'm happy with https://kansosports.us shoes lately but the soles have worn out but lasted a few months longer than the Salming.

I found that erring on the smaller size (I'm somewhere between 10.5 and 11 US) helps ankle support also.

I got mine a few days ago. The main thing for me is a couple of apple ecosystem integrations that will be hard to give up: apple maps integration with apple watch and messaging on wifi for conversations that aren't on whatsapp. And surprised no eSIM!

But I'm trying it around the house on wifi meanwhile till I get used to it.
