Bozo posted his comment in a new thread, but since @samhexum had already posted news of Mr Post's passing here, we merged it into this one.

Those who follow such things, and comment on them in places other than this site, may recall that at the White House state dinner during his visit last year, the prime minister Anthony Albanese noted ruefully in his speech, in a comment directed at his partner Jodie Haydon, that he won't be able to top this as a date night. Well, first thing this morning, the 15th, he posted a photo of the two of them on Twitter, with the caption, 'She said Yes'. Who said romance is dead?

Not good for the environment, but they have done the calculations here, and less green house gases are produced using coal to produce the electricity to charge an EV than an ICE vehicle would produce to travel the same distances using petroleum-based fuel. Of course the more green energy in your local power supply the less CO2 your driving will produce.

When you are typing your search terms in the search box, there is a drop-down menu at the right for what parts of the site to search. When I searched for 'giantboy' from this thread I initially left it on the default of 'This Topic' but they came up when I widened it to 'This Forum'. https://www.companyofmen.org/search/?q=giantboy&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=82

There are two earlier threads about him, both with speculation and neutral to positive opinions on his ad, but no one reporting any meet-ups.

This thread is about the Natural History museum and there is a category difference between displaying indigenous artefacts in such a museum and displaying indigenous art in gallery. Displaying art is more likely to give indigenous people agency in a way that treating them as part of 'nature' does not.

Welcome to the forum! People here have a variety of opinions and yes, some if them might be disrespectful, but most will not. Take what you read with a grain of salt, but most of it will be well-meaning and supportive.

I agree, but doubt that it is in any danger of bankruptcy. If it were a stand-alone commercial aviation company I would be less confident but with its substantial military division far less so. Still, it's a big source of US exports and a big employer and both of those are intrinsically valuable to the economy, both of the whole country and the regions where it and its suppliers have their plants. Recent events have illustrated that maximising profits can be at the expense of long term value and Boeing management would do well to take that lesson on board. If they can. Building mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers (if it persists in out-soucing parts of its manufacturing process to unfortunately named companies like Spirit), its work force and its local communities and to governments rather than rent-seeking for short-term profit might be a useful business model, even if it has a utility rate of return. I read a critique of management practices in a different context that said company management is prone to manage in their own best interests rather than the best interests of shareholders or any other stakeholders. I wonder if that is a factor in Boeing.

Indeed not, but as the thread was started with the express purpose of discussing this particular alleged murder, talking about the general level of safety for short-term casual visitors to Rio de Janeiro would be off topic. (Except perhaps to comment on whether the death was relevant to the broader safety issue.)

Rather than continue this delicious tangent in the Deli and risk being called out for being off topic, I've started a thread on Sarma in the Cooking Forum here -

Although a Deli may be an appropriate place for food, the one here is reserved for other delectable morsels. Hence the food element of this Deli thread belongs elsewhere, and by 'elsewhere' I mean here in the Cooking Forum. I had not heard of the Serbian and Croatian dish Sarma, so I googled it. Turns out that it is one version of a whole family of similar dishes (it's a Turkish word for 'wrapped') that includes stuffed vine leaves. It seems that in parts of the Balkans both types, vine and cabbage, are used depending on the season. For your culinary pleasure: Sarma (food) - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

I'm wondering if Qantas is regretting ordering more B787s as well as the Project Sunrise A350s. They've gone all Airbus for their narrow-body replacements.

So, a prostrate prostate check?

I watch a left-leaning British politics podcast not known for its favourable attitude towards the monarchy or the king himself but it recently selected him as its hero of the week from its panelists' nominations for a hero and a villain. They noted that since his announcement there had been a marked increase in men seeking prostate tests. In case you were wondering, their villain of the week was not one of the usual roster of politicians but rather five African grey parrots who had been removed from their public-facing place at a zoo for excessive swearing. When they were moved, the other parrots they were placed with also learnt to swear. Zoo-keepers were planning to put them into a larger flock of birds in the hope they would alter their behaviour to be more like the others. What could possibly go wrong?

Mod's reminder Folks, this thread is about racism in health care delivery not the cost, general availability or choices in the US compared to elsewhere. Keep to the topic at hand.

At the risk of one of those tangents, I remember as a kid reading the Britannica Yearbook (yes, I was and am that sort of person) and seeing the Südtiroler Volkspartei as being represented in the Italian Parliament. South Tyrol was an Austrian province until it was annexed by Italy after WW1 and remains majority German-speaking.

I flew out to DC on Tuesday afternoon last year, and the PSP terminal wasn't crowded, there were places to sit that actually had access to a power point. Not a non-stop flight, but a simple connection (and access to the Alaska lounge) at SFO.

Well, the day I checked the timetable it's listed as a Max 9. And FWIW, $239 Saver, $289 Main Cabin, $2123 First (or 25K/125K AS miles + $6) one way, and it's an 11.45am JFK departure. It doesn't tempt me to change my flights!

(He's from the German speaking South Tyrol region of Italy.)

An epic final. Forza Italia!!

"That's the best tennis I've ever seen. Even Rod Laver is out of his seat cheering that 27 shot rally that Sinner just won." ABC radio commentary from the match in the seventh game of the final set.

Moderator's Note Gentlemen, a reminder that this topic is about racism in the delivery of healthcare. The OP didn't specify whether his question was about the US, but the interview and the book are specific to that country. It is not about access to the heath care system in general nor about the politics of health care in the US. Please stay on topic and steer clear of politics. And yes it is possible to discuss the issue that way.

No such luck, if I'd been anywhere today it would have been in Brisbane at the cricket where the West Indies narrowly won its first test match against Australia in this country since 1997. But alas, I've watched both the cricket and the tennis on the TV.

@BSR, in the crowd at the final of the AO just now, there was a sign, 'Sinner, Sinner, Carrot Dinner'!
