"Does anybody here remember @veravdn?
Remember how she said that
she would post again,
some sunny day.

Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?"

I had a post deleted by moderators the other day and they were right to do so. If I were moderating the forums, I would also take some kind of action against dolphin's unprovoked sniping at tigertiger. Especially since it's part of a pattern of harassment that has been going on for weeks -- "Why does he get so many upvotes, I suspect foul play", etc.

Otherwise the forums version of Gresham's Law is liable to work its effects.

@Liumingke: Why string the OP along with so many questions when you could have given the answer above from the outset?

In any event, I believe your advice may be wrong. There have been several reports that the visa regulations changed in the last several years to allow foreign students to work during their stay, although the sources I have seen are not authoritative. The OP should inquire for himself.

Overall, very unhelpful.

How did you come across it?

For my part, I found it by experimenting with editing the URL because I was annoyed by how impractical it is to navigate among 18 different categories (most of them hierarchically arranged as sub-categories within categories).

@sean1: The thing is that it's a weak field, so I don't really support anyone in particular enough to sing their praises. But Buttigieg (fake), Biden (senile) and Klobuchar (bully) are all just blatantly awful. I suppose I could live with Sanders, Warren or even Bloomberg, although they each have serious flaws.

As far as Pete's donor stats, yeah, a lot of people seem to have been bamboozled, which is disappointing to see. And I don't think the fact that he's the poorest candidate gives any reassurance that he won't cater to the interests that have ravaged the country over the past generation. Maybe the opposite.

Also, while I am not a huge fan of Sanders and therefore am reluctant to carry water for him, I don't think the UK results necessarily translate to the US. Corbyn was abysmally unpopular, due in large part to his humorlessness, links to violent extremists and allowing anti-Semitism to fester within his party. Sanders has none of those faults and polls as the most popular active political figure in the US. Plus Labour's traditional electorate was fractured by the all-important Brexit issue, and there is no comparably powerful wedge issue at stake in the US.

An oxymoron. MAD is bi-directional, hence the "mutual". Both sides have reduced leverage over each other under MAD, because threats to use conventional force have low credibility in light of the extreme risks involved.

Turn that smile upside down, sezuwupom. Expressing positive sentiments about fast, comfortable, affordable and environmentally-sustainable new rail connections is not allowed by the comments police. Anyone who is not sufficiently glum will be ridiculed.

Grace is staffed by American doctors and, in my experience, provides the same level of expertise and standard of care that you would expect to find in a good clinic in the U.S. I highly recommend them.
