Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think they've changed their message to "better than the Mormons and DEFINITELY better than a black guy in the White House."
Definitely this.
Maybe Catholics have become the new arch-conservative almost evangelicals because of their stance on social issues? I blame John Paul II.
I've never waited more than 8 or so hours for a room at UCLA, but anywhere from 2-6am is about okay (10m wait for a room while they clean, usually), 6-8 gets dicier--you can get in, but you're just about to hit nurse shift change, and then doctor, which gives you even more of a delay. 8-9 is a wee window, but if for some reason I'm leaving that late, the waiting room is starting to have people waiting.
Watch me have cursed myself for tonight...just watch.
Tommyrot, here's your 3D printer.
I went to urgent care a few years ago at 3 and the doctor said, "Why are you in now? What changed in your condition from 8 last night to now? Why come in at 3:00?"
Um. So I don't have to wait for more than 2 hours?

Except that, at least in the US, a depressingly large number of them are willing to cheerfully ignore his extremely vocal stand against the death penalty. Sigh.
eta: Not just ignore, but vociferously argue against, all the while accusing pro-choice Catholics of rank hypocritical cafeteria Catholicism. Which I guess is kind of perversely nice of them, as it spares us the trouble of having to do anything but @@ forever at them.

I've discovered that the people running Ryan's childcare support the death penalty. Not at the childcare, hopefully.
They've moved on to "Mormon's aren't Christian!"
FWIW, I know several Mormons who have stated clearly, "Mormons aren't Christian, we're Mormon." You get into odd Mormon theology in the explanation, which most people don't care about and which the rabid religious folk would find even more evidence of "Evil! Burn it with fire!"

3D printing with chocolate and cheese?!?!?! I want to go to there. Quick, someone come up with a business I can start that would require me to have one of those.
"Why are you in now? What changed in your condition from 8 last night to now? Why come in at 3:00?"
Ha! They don't ask me that question anymore. I have been grumpily clear that if I have to sit around and be ignored by doctors, I'd rather do it in my own apartment.

A cheese and chocolate printing business! Go!
Creepy robot baby.
I'll say. I want a robot that can take care of me, keep track of my appointments and clean my bathroom and what not. What's the point of a needy robot that can't even take care of itself?
