One of our wedding guests was a Jain. He was the son of a business
associate of my FiL. MiL used to invite him for special dinners like Thanksgiving and she went to great efforts to find things for him to eat
that fit with their very restrictive diet. Despite their very strict prohibition on alcohol his cultural taboo on booze didn't stop him from enjoying enough booze to get absolutely pissed at the reception.
The poor guy had to make an emergency trip back to India. He had had a telephone call to tell him that his mother was on her death bed. As it
turned out, the mother was fine. It was a ruse to get him back home to
get married to the wife they had arranged for him to marry.

The Jain diet emphasizes a plant-based diet that minimizes harm to
living organisms. It is a highly restrictive diet that requires careful planning to ensure adequate nutrient intake
Can Jains eat chocolate?
Everything chocolate which contains cocoa powder is non - Jain and
forbidden to eat as the process of making cocoa powder from the beans involves heavy fermentation which kills infinite amounts of jeevas.
Why don't Jains eat spinach?
The reason Jains do not consume a certain category of vegetables is
because each part of such a plant contains infinite lives. This includes
not only root vegetables, but also other plants like aloe, spinach,
sprouts etc
Can Jains have potatoes?
Strict Jains do not eat root vegetables, such as potatoes, onions, roots
and tubers, as they are considered ananthkay. Ananthkay means one body,
but containing infinite lives. A root vegetable, such as potato, though appearing to be a single object, is said to contain infinite lives.
Can Jains bathe?
This is considered sinful in Jainism. To protect these living beings,
Jain monks and nuns do not take baths. Jain monks and nuns, no matter
what the weather is, whether it is freezing cold or sweltering hot, they always sleep on the ground, that too without any bedding.

Americans don't typically consider Indian people to be Asians. Mostly
it's because they are so different culturally from the Chinese and
Japanese. The same is true for the Filipinos. For Americans, it's not a >matter of geography but of culture. In the end, culture is more
important than proximity.
I used to open up the extremely large Asian collection at the school
library on Saturday. I had to go to the back of the library to get to
the light switch. Sometimes I did it in complete darkness. It was a long
walk back there through the Indian section. The books reeked of cumin
and coriander i.e., curry. The pulp paper of the books was infused with
the stuff.

I'm not an expert, but I assume it's because the soul
of a plant is in the root, so leaves & fruit OK,
but not seeds.
Fungus too. Don't eat the dirt with the mycellia.
You must be OK with eating reproductive organs.

inflation, recession and redneck rule.

It's going to take a long time to recover the damage done to those
alliances. I realize that a lot of Americans don't like Trump and have reached out to the rest of us to disassociate themselves from the
vitriol and lies Trump is spewing, but it is an issue involving the
entire country and it will be difficult for most of use not to lump all Americans in the the vortex of the MAGA mess.
You like remember the days before free trade. The modern free trade
movement was let by the US under Reagan. NAFTA was signed 30 years ago
but then it was renegotiated 6 years ago at the insistence of Trump. You
will recall him announcing the best deal ever.
There were some things he didn't like about it. He doesn't like our
supply management system which works to stabilize supply and prices and
which makes dairy farming reasonably profitable. Now he is whining
about the tariff structure he had agreed to. He has been less than
honest about the amount of tariffs that have been charged because they
have not paid any. They was a cap in the amount that could be exported
to Canada and there would be tariffs on anything in excess of that. They
have never hit that threshold. Meanwhile, the US subsidizes farmers.
That leads to over supply and they need to find somewhere to dump the
excess.
Trump is now pulling the plug on the new USMCA. It is another case of
the US reneging in a treaty it negotiated and signed... the Treaty of Versailles, the Paris climate change agreement, the JCPOA to control
Iran's nuclear program and many more. You have to wonder about the
value of signing a treaty with the US when they walked away from so many
of them.
The US still crows about how Europeans would be speaking German if it
weren't for them in WW I & II, but those wars would have been a lot
shorter and seen few dead and less devastation if the US had not waited
years to join their allies. Bush sure whined when Canada did not join
them in Iraq. Our PM would not help because he didn't believe the crap
about WMDs and as it turned out, there weren't any.
Two hundred years of being neighbours, trading partners and allies, and
then Trump launches and economic war to destroy us so we will want to
join the US. When your best friend stabs you in the back you don't ever forget it.

I sometimes look at the Fox News website. There's not a bad word about

misbehaving towards Trump and Vance.

Some of that material was paid for. The neat part of the Lend Lease
program was that it was for equipment and supplies to be used to act in
the interest of the US. It was a fight the could have and should have
got into earlier but there was a isolationist mindset, so the figured
they could provide the materials and let someone else do the fighting
and dying.

Did you see how those two punks were talking to Zelensky? That's the

No telling what has been said over the years in those
meetings that were closed to cameras. There could have
been many screaming matches but when they appear in front
of the cameras they're all smiles and good comradeship.
Don't ask for money and materials if you're not willing
to give up something in return.
A good bit of the (Lend - Lease)material was destroyed or simply worn
out.
Some the debt was simply written off. But yes, the Lend Lease
Act was in the interest of the USA. The last of the bill the
Soviet Union paid off was in 1972 if I remember correctly and
some of their debt was written off. The last payment that
cleared the books with the U.K. was in 2006 if memory serves
me correctly.

We don't know the details. Knowing Trump, he was probably trying to
screw Ukraine over. But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about
the fact that those two punks don't even have the most basic manners.
They're two scumbags. I'm surprised that a "church lady" like you

Honey, didn't you know that TARIFF is the most beautiful word in the
american language? (It was the english language, but has been renamed
the american language, just like the gulf of mexico got renamed.)
People that stick to those old names get fired pretty damn quick here.

Yes, and if we'd had trump back them in WWII instead of that crippled

Some of that discussion should have been behind closed doors. It was
shameful they way that Trump and the crackhead's offspring chastised
Zelensky in camera. It would not be unacceptable for Zelensky to offer access to essential minerals in exchange for assistance but it was not appropriate for Trump to make it so obvious that future aid was
dependent on handing over access to Ukraine's minerals. The behaviour of Trump and Vance was childish and embarrassing.

We don't know the details. Knowing Trump, he was probably trying to

America imports car parts and steel from Canada and Mexico. It's going
to be fun seeing how much prices on cars will be going up. Maybe cheaper/economy cars will be discontinued. I suppose that we can start selling Chinese electric cars in the US. Even with tariffs the cost will
be attractive.
My guess is that people will still be buying F-150s even with the price increases. We drove one while on the mainland. They're awesome.

It will probably serve you well. I didn't like the earlier hondas back

Up here we have Rebel news pushing some sort of right wing agenda. I
recall a story from the early days of the pandemic when we were pretty
much locked down. Rebel was pushing a story about some poor sap who was busted for taking his dog out to pee. Their line was that his poor
little dog had to do its business so the guy put a leash on it, took it
out to pee and then came right back and found two cops at his door.
It turned out there was more to it than that. The guy had just returned
from Mexico. The borders had been somewhat opened and people returning
to the country were required to quarantine for two weeks. Contrary to
the story of excessive zeal by the cops. This is not exactly a high
priority issue that would call for lights and sirens. It had taken them
some time to get there and then they had a fair wait for him to come
back. It was not the first time they had attended because the neighbours
had complained multiple times and he had been warned by the cops. So
this time, after having to wait for him to get back, they charged him.
Rebel had made it look like some poor guy has slipped out for a minute
for his dog to do its business and the cops immediately showed up and
charged him. They ommitted the fact that they guy had been travelling,
that he had been out for an extended period, that there had been
numerous complaints and that the had been warned before. It wasn't a
case of some poor guy stepping out for two minutes and then facing the
wrath of a tyrannical government.

No. Trump produced that episode, the same as he did many similar skits
on his old TV show.
I thought there should be more screaming and cussing though.
It was a big jump going from a 2001 vehicle (which I still have,
waiting for me to figure out how I want to sell it) to a 2022 vehicle.

1877kars4kids. I "think" it's a charitable contribution and can be
written off. I also drive the wheels off my cars, and they ain't worth
much, by current standards, when I get rid of them.
Until we bought our 2025 Forester, my newest vehicle was vintage 2013.
That should do it for us. :(
And well done, old chap. It's just a shame that, so many years later,
y'all have elected your own home grown Hitler.

Kars4kids is a religious charity aimed at Jewish kids to encourage them
to be more observant.
KidneyCarline or equivalent is preferable.

I take the standard deduction. Even donating my car wouldn't
be enough to make it worth itemizing.
Still, it would be easy. I've been considering donation (or calling
a scrapper) ever since the brakes kind of failed the last time I
pulled it into the garage. Apparently, I should have read the
report from my mechanic more carefully -- the part where he said
there wasn't enough brake fluid to measure the amount in the
reservoir.

When we got rid of my wife's Toyota we sold it to a guy who used to work
on her friend's car. They called him the Toyota Yoda. It needed brakes
and a lot of body work. He gave me more than the dealership would and
came and got it. He was involved in some sort of refugee settlement and
he fixed up cars for the refugees. I could have given it to a charity
for the tax credit but cash worked a lot better for me.

Brake lines and brake cylinders can leak. If it is on the power side of
the the system it is under pressure and can fast.
I like working on brakes - it's fun!

So why do American cars not sell in Japan?
American companies have simply failed to produce cars that appeal to
local tastes...
Japanese drivers want

True(?) story. Well, from 'Readers Digest' mag when I was a tyke:
USA starts exporting cars to Japan. VP of one of the big 3 visits
his dealer in Japan, and sees the service garage filled with
brand-new cars.
So he asks, "What's wrong with all those cars?". The reply was:
"It it different for each car. We always take them completely
apart and re-assemble to ensure they will be fixed of any
problem they might have from the factory."
During WW2, Churchill famously adopted a outfit
intended to signal "practical wartime clothing in a
country under bombing attack". It was called a sirensuit
and he FAMOUSLY wore it when meeting US Presidents
Rooseveldt and Eisenhower during WW2. Including, at the
White House as in this pic.

Trump and Vance are too dumb and uneducated to know
that history; but of course Zelensky and educated people
in Europe do. So the Americans (repeated) childish sneers
at Zelensky's clothes only served to underline American
deficits..in education, diplomacy and manners.
It was an appalling own-goal by Trump's advisors,
shaming the USA in front of world media.

They're two scumbags. I'm surprised that a "church lady" like you
doesn't have a problem with that.
Are you talking about those two gentlemen conversing with a guy in a
track suit?
It wasn't a track suit.
"For his meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy wore what looked to be a black tactical quarter zip with the Ukrainian trident and black pants." https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/03/08/zelenskyy-suit-ukraine-fashion-style-00219275
If those two were gentlemen, they would have conversed civilly if
he'd shown up naked holding a rose in his teeth.
There is no question in my mind that Trump and Vance set this up with
intent to embarrass Zelenskyy.
Trump?s motivation was more venal. Zelenskyy has a higher approval rating than Trump. Both in Ukraine and internationally. He has been lauded as Churchillian, whereas Trump is rarely viewed favorably for his diplomatic skills.

American taxpayers spent nearly 200 billion on a Eurasian war, so far.
Many of us can't find the antagonists on a map. Consparicists would say
that our money was wasted covering Biden crimes.
I am not a globalist, just like South and East Eurasians, Africans,
South Americans and intelligent Australians. Globalism is a pipe dream.

Of course.
You can have a discussion like that about Ukraine, nothing wrong with
that. But the way Trump and his punk acted was embarrassing.
Anyway, Trump has been shown a loser left right and center. Bragging
that the Chinese will call him and want to negotiate. They didn't and
who backtracked? Trump did.
Bragging that he'll end the war between Israel and the Palestinians.
It only got worse.
Bragging that he'll end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Putin's
only getting worse.
Bragging that he'd end inflation and make prices go down. They're
going up.
I have faith in humanity. One day even Trump's rednecks will see him
for what he is: a useless clown.

Fox News facts.
Indeed. Only TRUTH social is more accurate than fox news. Fox news personalities hold many cabinet positions and other important government jobs, so you know they are trustworthy.
