do you know how awful it is to be pitied by an Australian?

And it ain’t going to get better with President Orange Baby in office with his anti-science stances.

I’ve seen it up close as well with my grandmother. My mom is 75 and not showing any signs, which is good.

Yeah, me and my family already came to terms with the path going forward. We know that dementia usually means something worse is afoot, and the only way is down.
At least we can’t complain too much because my father’s economic condition provides him care and the option to keep going with dignity that so many people…

The weirderst thing i can identify on both is that they seem to talk in loops. Like they know they can’t be very coherent for long, so they make short statements. Because sometimes they know they’re slipping. My dad had these lapses of sanity during the mid-late stages of his “spiral”. I think deep down he didn’t want…

Sorry about your father.

I know this is anecdotal, but i saw dementia upclose with my father.
Dad had always been a cool guy, he didn’t blow up when he was angry, he was always a very tolerant person, he had varied tastes in music, film and TV. He had his consumption fetiches (he likes horses, cars and stuff like that) but he was also smart…

Let me guess, this was in Florida?

If that’s their reasoning then they need to tighten up the dimensional allowances on the pool. With a three centimeter variance, you’re talking .012 seconds difference between lanes for just one length of the pool, potentially. Too get it below the threshold of half of a significant figure, the variance in lane length…

There’s also the problem with the inner (middle) lanes being faster - the outer lanes have more turbulence from the walls, as well as more temperature fluctuations. Even hundredths of a second might be too precise.

I believe I lost a significant amount of braincells trying to comprehend what I just watched.

If it had been successfully ditched a la the "Miracle on the Hudson," survivors would have contacted loved ones. without a doubt.

If Alex Zanardi isn't one of your heroes, we can't be friends.

This is infuriating because you are so wrong. The murder rate is ONLY 4 times the national average. Things are much worse in other cities, such as Caracas.

Money can't buy tast.

A goddamn Russian-made Ural, which is a WW2-era design, doesn't shake half as bad either. I know that because I've seen, heard and felt one running in person.

Harley's be damned. A proper cafe racer honda is where it's at finesse in the engine and still sounding and looking badass that's the stuff. Overhead cams and 4 cylinders, ow yeah

I'll have you know that the Harley Davidson motor is the worlds most efficient way to turn gasoline into noise without all that pesky byproduct of horsepower.

What about excessive noise? I think they'd all be recalled for that.
