Where does this song fit into the story exposition of Under The Grey Banner? It seems like it should be just before Fire and Brimstone but I’m not sure.

If (and it's a big IF) it is proven that SARS-CoV-2 did leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, for which there is no public evidence at this time, hypothetically what would the international reaction/response be? China is arguably a superpower on the same footing with the USA, EU, etc. What consequences would they actually face?

Also, in this hypothetical scenario, does "war with China" become a serious platform idea for the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination?

edit because I guess I should say it: I do not believe the virus leaked from a lab, I suspect the overwhelmingly likely scenario is that it jumped from an animal in the wild.

Much love to the 2020 grads. I thought I had it rough when we protested Condoleezza Rice and she was replaced with Governor Kean. At least we had a graduation. My solidarity goes out to all the students who have worked so hard to graduate this academic year. Stay strong!

Hi, about three years ago I had my first ever tonic-clonic seizure. It happened seemingly out of nowhere. I was taken to a hospital and for my first normal CT scan. 1 month later I had my first EEG that was normal. 8 months after that I had another tonic-clonic seizure. Neurologist put me on Lamotrigine, can’t remember the dosage but not more than 200mg. The following March 2018, I had another tonic-clonic seizure so my neurologist bumped up the Lamotrigine dosage. Now it gets strange; nearly two years go by without a seizure episode. In that time I am physically active and

Hey everybody. I’m a NJ native now living in Denver, CO. I lived nearly all of my childhood in the suburban town of Mount Laurel. Mount Laurel is home to a small farm and nature learning center called Paws Farm. Paws has been a landmark for learning and history in Mount Laurel for years. The property is owned by the Township and until recently was operated by Garden State Discovery Museum. Yesterday, Paws announced that Discovery Museum had terminated their contract. As a result, Paws is forced to close down. The township solicited bids from other operators in an attempt to keep the doors open but did not find a suitable deal. Here is an article from the local newspaper describing t

Hi, so I had an almost two year streak of no seizures broken last Friday. I was on an airplane and suddenly became very nauseated and my heart rate jumped up. These are two things I've felt right before my previous seizures. I got really scared so I decided to stand up from my seat and head to the back of the plane. Then I woke up on the ground in the aisle to a stewardess trying to help me up. It was so embarrassing. My doc isn't certain it was a seizure because I was only out for 5 seconds or so and did not shake/bite my tongue/lose control of bowels (all things I've done before) but everything I felt before and after felt the same as my previous grand mal seizures.

Anyways, one thi

Hi everyone. A little background first, I’ve had 3 tonic clonic (is that the new name for grand mal?) seizures in 13 months, never had any others. I’m 26 years old, male, no previous head injuries or unusual medical history. Neurologist put me one 100mg lamotrigine after seizure #2 which seemed to help and I didn’t have any side effects. However I had a third seizure while on the 100mg so doc bumped it up to 150mg and I started having side effects, mainly dizziness and nausea, on a daily basis. I told my doc this and he put me down to 125mg but I’m still having side effects. What sucks the most is the side effects are nearly identical to how I felt before each of my seizures so I’m con

Seriously, she is one fine woman. That sidebar pic tho.

Mods, make it happen!

Hi everyone,

I haven't checked back in with you all since NC began. I have had a few tiny slip up texts while drunk but deleted the threads immediately and never got responses.

Anyways, about a week or so ago I was presented an opportunity to transfer within my company to a far away state for a 2 year project. The positives are it's a great career move in terms of experience, I'll be getting a raise, and my company would pay for all of my moving and living expsenses. However, it's a 14.5 hour drive from where I live now, it's in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere, I know exactly zero people in the area, and the closest family member to this new place is 3 hours away. 6 months ago when
