There are many uses for lasers in dentistry. And also other reasons (e.g. amygdalotomy).

And you said this is steamed broccoli despite it is clearly grilled.

It was a lame jest referencing the "Steamed Clams" meme.

Sintra is one of the best places I've visit in Europe. This, and the Palacio Nacional da Pena, were fantastic.

They almost make the Russian Navy look competent.

I the pre-Jack Welch America, it was very common to have highly-skilled, very senior technical people making almost as much (and in some cases, more) than the CEO or the company president. This included architects, lawyers, accountants, engineers and any person that was deemed invaluable to the company.

Fuck Jack Welch and fuck MBAs.

Aim for the moon, if you miss you still will land among the stars.

Them poor horse knees.

I enjoy hockey, but I agree here.

And in Japan.

That's just horsing around.

Ghana is raising in Africa as one of the main economies and has a healthier democracy than most countries i the region, even compared to older democracies.

That said, the recent anti-LGBTQ ruling was surprising even considering how religious the country is.

An important fact is that there is a LOT of foreign influence pouring into the country's politics, given how rich is in resources and how the old order has been weakened by China's pull.

Once again, two factions are pulling Africa into their spheres of control and using dirty tactics to do so.

China's attempts to control these countries are bad, but the chronic illness that is oligarchic european control of Africa has been a cancer that needs to be excised.

ModernGhana is probably the most popular news portal and Roger Agambire (owner) is a decent journalist.

My point was mostly that while we talk about clear racism from China towards Ghana, there's a background of multiple forces pulling towards their own goals here. In a sense, Ghana (and the region itself) has won a lot from having choices, but that came with a cost.

The second thing is that US diplomacy weaning turned into Chinese influence growing (with all its consequences).

I think it's interesting to see friction arising towards China but I hope are truly national and not external influences.

Russia, so hot right now.

Fantastic movie and even better soundtrack.

I might also add that the US decision to reduce diplomatic influence in Africa, (USAID, racist attitudes, maiming DOE) has given a lot of oxygen to radicalism and external influences that previously were in check.

Donnie yet again ruining lives around the globe.

I'm not sure if it is worse when the fbi does nothing or when it does something...

Radio message from H.Q.:

Dance Commander, we love you.

Well.. This time not even republicans liked it. It polled like 30%.
