Absolute swine! What I can't understand is the 'nanny state' has banned pretty much everything fun and or dangerous but not laser pointers, my fear was for my Dad as his eyes are in a state due Cateracts and Macular Denigration. The worst thing is if I had happened to go for them I would have ended up arrested while they would have got away with 'Having a laugh!'

The US govt has largely banned sales of high power laser pointers.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who has one sitting in his closet with no clue WTF to do with it that was bought primarily to give a finger to the nanny state while I still could. (A severe lack of windowless rooms in my apartment leaves me with nowhere to put on my protective glasses and safely zap balloons to death until I get tired of blowing them up.  )
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well there's not much else I could do with one. I don't smoke, so using it as a cigarette lighter is out. And a few years back they removed wound cauterization from the list of potential uses and replaced it with a warning that shining the beam on yourself could cause cancer. (OTOH the latter was mostly theoretical to begin with; the demos from using it to ignite a cancer stick took long enough that I'm almost certain that you'd bleed out from any injury severe enough to justify the process shut before you actually managed to burn all the bleeders shut.)

Google is not your friend with a decision as important as a full-year's commitment to medical care.
The first time I tried to shop for a medical plan, wow, disaster.
Will those who have both failed and succeeded in this space please offer your knowledge ?
I'm not so much after specific company names as I am in specific questions to ask, and formulas, and schemes, and so on, particularly with what they don't tell you until after they've acquired your signature.
I know the WRONG way to shop for medical coverage; I would like to know the RIGHT way.
Or, at least get better than I was last time.

The best way to get medical coverage is to move to Europe

He said medical coverage, not nanny state.

"Comes with a Youtube clip."
Funniest thing I've seen all week, credit to one Jason Elrick for the above comment to a Facebook post about online conversion to Islam.

No.  Circumcision, i.e. a 'clip' is required for conversion to Islam.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

What is it you don't understand about the rules for this Forum:
"4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk."

Sorry if I offended you Bill, but I never intended this as a discussion about Islam, i.e. not a post about religion as such, merely a joke about circumcision, not strictly that associated with Islam. If anyone considers it a joke about Islam itself, I will gladly move it.
Please be warned, however, that I may again in future cite the name of a religion in the Lounge, but only in topics strictly not about any religion. That I have always known, understood, and tried to abide by.

I agree with Bill that this shouldn't be in the Lounge... but I also agree with you that it wasn't really "religious" but merely a joke about circumcision so no big deal, really.
However, when in doubt, I would put it in the Soapbox.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

If it is not about religion, then why do you mention the name of a specific religion in the title ?
Shame on you !

Nothing. The hamster just misses the running wheel and tries to have some fun without it. Hamsters are made to run a few miles every night and sitting in a small cage without any way to do that borders on mistreating them.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
