This is absolutely true. Sunlight = vitamin D Vitamin D = proven reduction in mortality (infections/viral/etc) and improved immuno and depression response/rate. If hospitals put patients outside for 20 minutes a day I’m 100% convinced stay duration and mortality rates would decline but it would be a pain in the arse for the nurses and you can’t bill for the sun so they don’t.
I have had doctors with varying opinions on the benefits of vitamins and supplements but my family feels like we’ve benefited a lot from them over decades. Difficult to prove one way or the other.
Vitamin D is one to be careful with because the excess amount consumed doesn’t get flushed out in the urine and stores in the liver. I take it, but not every day like B,C, & E.

Secretary Scott Bessent was on Fox News claiming that immigrants smuggled diseased cows across the border and that illegals and Biden are to blame for beef prices.

Good thing I will continue to not fly Southwest. What's the actual reasoning here? One of you more adventurous folks should identify as obese and get that free seat. Let the games begin.
I’ve never flew SWA. That whole idea that you just run to whatever seat you want is scary. Now that I’m not burdened by time, I won’t fly unless I can sit in the first few rows.

This seems to be the expert consensus. The oil crisis really hasn't even started yet; July is when the pain really begins. And it's just going to get worse after that. And no one seems to even be addressing the fertilizer shortage and what that's going to do to the food supply and grocery prices
I have some businesses and commercial property I rent to businesses. There’s multiple metrics pointing to prices getting a whole lot worse in the back half of the summer. Weather, tariffs, gas, and input costs are driving food prices up to where businesses have to consider not selling items that you can’t raise the prices enough to make it worth buying/selling. In Colorado certain beef cuts are being eliminated, and in Florida certain seafoods are coming off the menus.
If it wasn’t for TD, I might not know that June is gay pride month. The people triggered by it have to have some fascination that causes inner conflict. Same with those upset that there’s not enough straight pride events.
Like I said, I read and see more about it on here than I do anywhere else.

It’s been a long time since I’ve lived in BRLA but TD really reminds me how ubiquitous fast food is to life there. Rarely is there not an active thread about fast food restaurants.

Amalfi is nice and they have a beautiful and historic cathedral, but if I had to choose between Amalfi and Positano, I would definitely choose Positano.

I would agree with this suggestion. We have used BlueStar from Positano and they were great. Can either do a trip up the Amalfi Coast with stop at Amalfi and swimming at a grotto OR trip to Capri with stop at Blue Grotto (I think). We did the trip along the coast with stop at Amalfi and a grotto to swim and it was fantastic. You get a much better appreciation of the towns along the coast from the water.
We did this as well and it was one of our best travel experiences. We rented a small Gozzo boat with a captain for 2 six hour days. It’s was just us four and the captain. Day one we went from Positano down the coast stopping at different spots and exploring a few caves. Stopped for lunch, visited Amalfi for about 1 hour and then went to other towns.
Second day we did the blue grotto. It was really fun. The captain named Marco was awesome. Let the teen girls drive the boat.

I also research restaurants a lot, because I want the best meals while traveling.
I know people who are against restaurant reservations when traveling because they feel like it’s too binding in determining their events for the day.
I come across tons of people where I live that visit and want to do things that require at least a 30-50 day reservation. They get all unhinged that their last minute plan to something is unavailable to them.
I knew one baw at LSU that went bankrupt and had to leave school because of a phone sex addiction. I’ve never met anyone else who has admitted paying for porn.

I don’t have any Mexicans in my hood, but the French people on our street are really getting after it.

There are 78 million recorded abortions every year

Sounds kind of high. That is a lot of people having unprotected sects.
There’s less than 70 million females in the baby making age range in the USA. All of them would have to have an abortion every year and some would have to do it twice a year. That 78 million number is a Poli Board kind of statistic.

I’ve seen very few immigrants smoke, unless we are referring to men from the Middle East.
Same here. The ethnic group of immigrants I’ve always associated with smoking was Eastern Europeans, but they don’t seem to smoke as much anymore.
I don’t think I’ve ever met or seen a Haitian that smokes and i know well over 500 of them.

Good. Growing up in the 80s/90s everything smelled like smoke everywhere. Banning smoking from indoor places is one of the best strides we've made as a society.
As much as people scream about government regulation it’s hard to pinpoint any achievement that can’t be tied to government regulation.
In 100 years life expectancy almost doubled almost solely because of regulations.

re: How Many of You Have Inherited Significant Assets?

Personally, I haven’t and won’t. My kids did get some from their mother’s family, enough for a down payment on a house. I’m glad for them.
The amount of inherited wealth I’ve been seeing the past few years amongst the 50+ crowd is head scratching. A lot of them weren’t doing bad themselves.
The boomers were supposed to die and their houses get sold. That’s not what I’m seeing. Everyone is turning being a landlord or second home owner into a side hustle.

always see posts that say something like “if you want to show that you’re my friend, repost this. I want to see how many true friends I have on here”. It’s so stupid, and it’s always old boomers who repost that shite. Lol
They grew up with chain letters where people would receive a letter and then physically mail the same letter to a dozen or so people. It was like a group text back before computers.
That’s some sort of parable from the incest Bible.

re: I'm glad to see JD Vance taking an active role in fraud
Posted by Motownsix on 5/14/26 at 12:43 pm to Mushroom1968
The GOP should put Rick Scott in charge of investigating fraud in Medicare, Medicaid, and Tri Care. That would really piss off people.
The argument is that it saves companies money. I personally like the quarterly reports.
This is really just part of the mission to dismantle the regulating agencies, which I’m against.
