Just a dad, a democrat, a human being who finally had enough of all the BS over on Elon's propaganda site.
I can't get past the "safety at the frontier" line in the photo. An AI must have written that part, and conflated "frontier" with "forefront" or some other term that represents an idea or goal that is within reach and may have already been achieved.

FWIW, I do like to think my midlife athletic endeavors, which keep me consistent about stretching, help prevent potential muscle pain side effects.

Congrats on the clean scan! I wasn't so lucky, but thankfully it wasn't dire.

Also 47, and just started taking statins last year after many years of putting it off. 5mg rosuvastatin, and my numbers are now looking great with no side effects. A heart calcium score CT scan helped convince me to finally take the plunge.

A buddy of mine who used to live there and still owns a house in town says it's highly area-dependent. Where are you looking? He's still in touch with a bunch of people in and around real estate there. Could connect you if you think it would be helpful.

I imagine they're overcounting on the former and undercounting on the latter.

Some friends brought over what they thought was good Texas BBQ from a local place and watched, with a mixture of what I interpreted as shock and sadness, as I went for seconds of everything except the brisket.

Where do you order from? If you haven't been yet, Morgan's Barbecue on Flatbush in Park Slope is by far the best we found local when we lived there.

I lost a hat, a handmade one that I really loved, on the F train many years ago. Now I'm kicking myself for not ever considering, even for a second, that there might be a lost and found that may (however unlikely) have it.

Aha! Smart. I would've assumed she got that already just by serving at least one term or something.

Sure, but she could finish out her term and just not run again. Instead she's leaving her district unrepresented until they can hold a special election.

Any idea why she is resigning rather than just not running again?
