I do because I don't have a TV, so I get everything off my computer. Plus I'm in France, so even if I go to TV Replay online, there's only a limited choice if I want to keep up with what's going on in the US. Hurrah for your libraries! Mine's okay for certain things, but the French tend to dub everything.

I signed up for a regular monthly donation of $10. It ain't much, but I do what I can. Voted for Hilz, also too.

I did some digging in the UK. He is on a right wing list of Labour Party supporters sex offenders. Way to support Corbyn. He also worked for the L.P illegally as a visitor co coordinator as he had no work visa. I suspect he came back cause they asked him to leave their party.

I didn't dig into that particular Google hit, #3, but I did see where he solicited sex and arranged a meeting with what he thought was a 13 year old boy. Some set up.

Paragon of virtue, that one.

Yes, I was thinking of 'blowing' the test by being too anxious to establish a usable baseline, but in the context of wanting to produce an unusable test instead of an outright confirmation of lying.

Interestingly I had two colleagues that were naturally very anxious from the get go and had a lot of trouble passing. One of them went to HQ for further tests which he then passed. The other went to HQ and failed once and he declined any further testing. Fortunately there was sufficient other work for him, but he never took another test. He was also a person who served in the Marines in Iraq and was a very trustworthy person, but could not handle the tests.

There are always four possibilities for the outcome of the test,1 Correct positive2 Correct negative3 False negative4 False positive

Unfortunately with the Marine veteran the continued false negatives keep a very smart and trustworthy person from doing that work.

I don't stream, apart from an occasional little thing here and there. I don't pay for cable TV; it's against my principles. I make do with broadcast. However, the New York Public Library lends me DVDs, and I have RBG reserved. Looking forward to it.

I have a friend who grew up in Ohio, and moved back some years ago when he inherited the family farm. His grandmother was the town abortionist until it became legal.

My reproductive years passed in peace years ago. Still, I'd never vote Republican, and I've never sat out an election, either. I have to find it in my heart to forgive younger sister for staying home in '16 in PA, but it's not easy. The Russian bots on her FB feed convinced her Hills is a murderer. She didn't vote for Trump, but she didn't VOTE. That's infuriating.

So, perhaps he's the elusive "Q" and it's all projection.

Thank you. All I know about orbital mechanics I got from science fiction and NASA documentaries.

Yes, that's basically exactly right.

Not my morning nice time, which was singing in Shul. L'Shana Tovah. May 5779 be sweet.
