Sorry. I didn’t mean to imply that I favored suicide. I wasn’t particularly thinking of suicide, just death in general. I was also kind of implying that some might fake their own death in order to disappear.
Some of them might make that choice, some might be murdered by other derps, and some might run the clock out and die of old age before indictment.
Just to be clear, I’m not pro-murder, either, even for derps. I prefer justice in a court of law.
p.s. I think as far as saving money goes, military tribunals might have some advantage. From what little I’ve learned, it seems that those trials don’t drag on endlessly like similar civilian trials often do.
OTOH, if we are correct that no name was tried in a tribunal, it was over 6 months between the time he disappeared and the time he died. So 6 month trial?
On the Mohs Scale of Hardness, Diamond is the ultimate"adamant" -- with a Mohs rating of Ten (10).
But, Magnetite (which [I know] can be scratched by a steel knife) has a Mohs rating of only Five (5) to Six (6)!
~~~~~~~~~~~
AHA! The Mohs Scale of Hardness was developed in 1812 -- considerably later than the period of linguistic confusion...

LOL!! I guess that concludes my Octogenerian contribution to "the slide of the evening"... '-}

I realize you feel very strongly about this.
I am not in favor of a law which can easily label anyone as mentally ill and thus the one so labelled is prohibited from owning a fire arm.
I’m referring to having mental hospitals for people who are dangerous psychotics.
What’s a girl to do, Q?
Can’t sleep for worrying about the status of the Chans; the flotsam and jetsam being dumped into the ocean by Dorian; the children who may go missing in the Bahamas; Hong Kong’s patriots; the braying, bestial bad guys; and the safety of POTUS, his family, and all who stand with him.
Let something big rip to tide us over?
...You know she’s waiting
Just anticipating
The things that ....will clean up this whole mess..., yeah, yeah
But while she’s there waiting
Without them try a little tenderness
That’s all you got to do...
Dang, that evoked Jack Webb’s version in my head.
I dwell on the DS counter-offensives during Q’s absence late into the night. Something big ripping will do much more than tide us over. My guess is this month will be glorious. Tomorrow is the 8ch hearing. Coates and friend are gone, what prevents DECLAS other than timing? The Flynn affair nears resolution. And the yellow jackets and HKers are still standing.
Do you not believe “Patriots are in control?” Get some sleep and get ready.
isn’t eight ch hearing on Thurs 9/5 ?
UPDATE V2: Texokie's Digs
Thank you to all who submitted comments and pms regarding wall-of-text digs/posts. (I am aware of the irony of responding to the issue with a wall post of my own!)
For a brief time, I request that Texie continue to describe/summarize (shorten) on thread and link to wall-of-text posts on old threads. I'm interested to see if she incorporates a suggestion received up thread asking for a brief summary (h/t ez), or if that's too time consuming for her, if she continues with a brief description and links.
From the time I began posting Q threads, I've received very strong requests that my introductory posts be shorter because phone users, possibly using particular operating systems or hardware, have a very difficult time swiping through long posts, locating the break to a new post, and then checking on something upthread.
Navigating long posts meant those users had to swipe/swipe/swipe away to back up, and then again repeat the process to resume reading the thread. Some FReepers explained that they must give up on Q threads entirely if long posts continued to consume so much of their time swiping and searching.
Our thread resource table, the post at the top of the thread, and the FAQ table were long and received numerous sustained input requesting changes to a shorter format until I posted portions of them and linked the rest elsewhere.
As I shortened and linked those long posts, the vigorous requests faded away and the only input I've continued to received re long posts over the past 3 or 4 months are Texie's wall of text dig posts. I know the wall format (like her excellent content) has many grateful fans, but it continues to be very difficult for those with phone/operatng system issues. I never made format requests to her previously because I was waiting to see if people became acclimated and the issues resolved themselves.
I know this request for forebearance must generate some disappointment, but I think I have some good news.
When I agreed to post Q threads, I did not conceive of any function beyond posting a thread every few days. But, FReeQs asked questions on thread and via pm by the dozens and I began to try to answer them because...well...I didn't know any better! :D
Then our threads came under long, sustained, and at times overwhelming troll attacks. Some threads were so immersed in troll battles that I pinged FReeQs to start reading at around post 60 on a new thread to avoid the troll mess.
Our efforts at coordinatomg our responses to trolls, and most importantly, making one Q thread format work for as many people as possible, led to a Mother of Dragons role. However, it was never a goal in and of itself to operate any differently from other threads on the forum; it was a technique enacted for a period of time to address specific circumstances.
I think it won't be long before multiple Q content threads can function like other threads on FR. We can still have a combined Q thread for those interested, but I don't see a need for coordination (MoD) type efforts because we won't be limited to one thread intended to meet many different needs.
Once we are no longer limited to one shared thread, I will continue posting Q threads in the current (shared) format long enough to support a smooth transition while new threads and new thread formats take root and FReeQs find their preferred sources of info.
I believe those who've longed for "normal threads" that function like others on FR do not have long to wait. So, to those I have disappointed with my request to Texie on behalf of phone users, I wish to encourage you by saying this too shall pass. :)
ThankQ.
The press and the government are both enemies of the people.
Dopey = drug trafficking ?
There are a lot of nutso people out there.
Seems like the root of adamant may also have a biblical meaning.

Interesting video montage of POTUS. In various times and places he says he’s never heard of a Category 5 Storm.
I’m guessing hidden message. To us? To derps?
bunch of Eeyores on that thread.
Sad.
Good one!!
You are right. Patriots ARE in control... of what they CAN control.
I’ve seen some of the uncontrollable that lurks in some people. That’s what keeps me awake.
