    Oh, you replied. Sort of.

    I have read the speech. I stumbled over the rambling repetition and inconsistencies, but read the whole thing.

    Other than the exact wording, Pelosi is still saying that the politicians must pass the bill before anyone can find out what is in it. Surely if the bill is so full of wonderful things, she could detail a few of them for the people. Like how you get to keep your insurance and doctors, or how everyone's premiums will be reduced by thousands of dollars. But, No, apparently we could not find out about that until everyone blindly passed it.

    The real joke of all this is that the bill she shoved through the House of Representatives was simply wiped away by the Senate bill, so all of the wonderful things Pelosi might have been thinking of were gone.

    we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it,

    Please explain the major differences between the meanings of those two statements.

    Tweets are less invasive, because I never see them unless I go to Trump's twitter page. Or CNN. Or ABC. Or Foxnews. Or Slashdot. Or...

  14. I saw a possum in Home Depot last year. Thought it was a rat, so told the clerk at the cabinet counter. He grabbed the fishing net that was behind him and ran to where I pointed.

    Turns out they had been trying to catch that thing for three days. The mother had her litter in the Garden area, and this one wandered inside.

    He was so happy to catch the little guy, so they could take it outside to release it.

  15. In the northern cities perhaps. In the smaller towns, and all across the south, people still do a lot of work themselves, or grew up on farms or helping on 'grampa's farm' over the summers.

  16. I grew up on a farm, and we built many things out of 2by4's. As a kid, I never thought about that being the dimension in inches, it was simply the name of the piece of wood.

    As I got older I learned it meant 2 inches by 4 inches, and as I got older yet I learned they aren't 2 inches by 4 inches.

    We also had some lumber that really was 2 inches by 4 inches, but you would get slivers off it.

  17. Why should someone sell a product if they can't display their name or logo on it?

    Someone should sell a product so that people could buy it.

    How should a product code be memorised?

    Not really needed, cashiers have small booklets with all the codes for vegetables/fruits, together with pictures of them.

    Oh, yes, leave it to the trainee cashier to look up every fruit and vegetable code, rather than having it on the produce itself. I love wasting 10 minutes while she rings up the order in front of me.

    It's more like California, if you removed every large town and every city except for LA. 90% of Sweden's population is in the southern third of the state, and the rest has small community and farms in the northern area, mostly along the coast.
