Be serious guys. You have posted some ridiculous statements. No child is starving in schools, fluoride is in every toothpaste today as opposed to 50 years ago, and the guy you hate is bringing our country and the world back from the disaster of the last 4 years. That's my opinion. Now, how about we get back to technology instead of politics. Let's debate the othe stuff on Facebook since we clearly aren't going to agree. -------- Original message --------From: Nate Burke <[email protected]> Date: 5/23/25 6:44 AM (GMT-07:00) To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Scott Adams -Dilbert Wait, your schools weren't like the trading pits at the Stock exchange?

So no bad lunches and no good lunches. The kids have gone back to just starving.

I do remember that intellectual move. know who else remembers, pepperidge farms remembers. probably not the best example to use. But the good byproduct of it was that kids, particularly from poor families were so hungry that the ultimate outcome was pretty much every school know has free lunches and the nations lunch ladies revolted and got edible food back in the cafeterias. My neighbor, Mrs Misses was a lunch director so I got the full rundown on how that went down. It was crazy, it literally cost school districts insane amounts of money in excess dumpster fees due to the amount of waste her program caused So technically, her program did work in the end, after it was dismantled, plus as a side benefit, she completely boomed the childhood diabetes market, the outcome of that is the price controls on insulin. end of the day, the nation benefited immensely from her abject failure. So I guess she really is an intellectual superior and the lunch ladies were just anti intellectuals. The kids, who refused to eat the garbage she fed them definitely were anti intellectuals and if they had just followed the science, their friends wouldnt have been fat little diabetics On Fri, May 23, 2025 at 7:52 AM Darin Steffl <[email protected]> wrote: There's nothing wrong with trying to make our food better quality with fewer bad ingredients. The problem is RFK and orange man believe and spread conspiracy theories. They're trying to claim fluoride in water supplies is harmful to us when it's so clearly not. Even dentists recommend it to prevent cavities and tooth decay. Google "fluoride in water safe" to review more about how it benefits us. They are anti-vax which will cause an increase in measles cases like we've seen. It will spread to other things like spikes in flu cases if people don't get flu shots. Who's ready for polio to come back? I see videos on tiktok of stay at home moms that aren't doing any child vaccinations at all. They think their natural essential oils will protect their kids from deadly disease. Under this admin, there's a war on intellectualism. Anyone that's smart is being labeled stupid and funding for important research has been cut. Aid for overseas disease prevention has been cut. The world and our country will become more deadly and sick under our current admin as a result. Does anyone remember when Michelle Obama tried to address childhood obesity and the conservatives cried about their freedom being taken away? She did it the right way with no conspiracy BS. Google "Michelle Obama obesity" if you want to read about her efforts. On Fri, May 23, 2025, 12:43 AM Bill Prince <[email protected]> wrote: I was taking tamsulosin, but it really didn't work.

For awhile the medical profession went crazy with PSA tests. Based solely on a blood test, they would offer you the choice of surgery or radiation. Bill is exactly correct. If you are diagnosed with non aggressive prostrate cancer at age 75, something else is likely to kill you first. Let’s face it, we’re all going to die of SOMETHING. Or maybe they just say “natural causes”. Go back far enough and they just didn’t talk about cancer, it was taboo, so someone died but it wasn’t cancer because they wouldn’t say the word. It’s like the supposed “epidemic” of autism. More like better and earlier diagnosis.

That one's a mystery. However, longer life expectancy increases the odds of cancer later in life too. There is also better screening, so that is an unknown in terms of what the actual "rate" is. We had a friend who was diagnosed with prostate cancer when he was around 75. Doc told us, the prostate cancer was not going to kill him. Sure enough, he died almost 20 years later at the ripe old age of 94, and no, the prostate cancer is not what got him in the end. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 5/22/2025 8:56 AM, Dev wrote: Is it just me or does it seem like cancer rates are rising?

Scott Adams, the creator of the "Dilbert" comic strip, announced on May 19, 2025, that he has metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. He stated that he expects to live only "months" and "sometime this summer," and that he is in constant, "intolerable" pain, requiring a walker to move around. Adams revealed his diagnosis on his YouTube show, "Real Coffee With Scott Adams," after former President Joe Biden's office announced that Biden also had prostate cancer. Adams said he decided to share his own health news to "slide under" Biden's announcement and deflect some of the public attention. He also mentioned that he had been keeping his diagnosis private to avoid becoming "just the dying cancer guy." He stated that he has had time to process the diagnosis, get his affairs in order, and say his goodbyes. As a California resident, he also referred to the state's End of Life Option Act as "an option." -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com Darin Steffl Minnesota WiFi www.mnwifi.com 507-634-WiFi Like us on Facebook -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
