Karsten Warholm is another stud to admire...

Trump, give up an opportunity to spout lies? You can't be serious.

Well, in any case, if government resources were used to try to locate him, whether it be due to infantile behavior, mental illness, substance abuse, or just a bad sense of humor, he probably should be put on a "do not let him in the country again" list. Whatever the reason for his behavior, let it be the UK government's problem. He should be on every country's shit list.

Well, if this was all a hoax, then there should be criminal charges. Sherri Papini ended up serving time and having to reimburse local authorities $300,000 for her hoax: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherri_Papini_kidnapping_hoax

Only in extreme cases are medical personnel released from HIPPA/confidentiality laws. For example, if someone were to reveal to his physician that he intended to kill someone (or himself), or if there is child/spousal/elder abuse, confidentiality does go out the window. Unfortunately, outing a liar, while perhaps in the public's best interest, doesn't qualify. Trump has spouted the most awful lies about his health. Certainly, in my mind, the man's a public danger. However, if I were his physician, and I were to point out his lies, even if the lies were about things I reportedly said (but did not), I would be subject to both civil and criminal liability. At the very least, I suspect my license would be put on probation, if not suspended, and there would certainly be lots of requirements to get out of the mess, such as taking ethics courses, and so on. The exceptions are requirements to report any suspicion of child/elder/spousal abuse, and Tarasoff warning to protect those in immediate danger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarasoff_v._Regents_of_the_University_of_California

It's called patient confidentiality/privacy. I find it hard to believe you've never heard of this. Health care personnel can only release information with the patient's consent. Is this not general knowledge?

Well, if public funds were used to look for the dude, especially at the family's request, then, yes, I think it is the public's business. And, if the "missing person" was just being an asshole while a public search was going on, I also think that he should owe a refund. The fact that the family doesn't want the public to know the details comes off as suspicious. This whole affair smells of the Sherri Papini story from several years' back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherri_Papini_kidnapping_hoax

You're arguing with a loon...

I wish your brain would filter out reality from hallucinations. Maybe you should cut back on the magic mushrooms.

Jules Bouyer also isn't optimally aerodynamic/streamlined....

I guess he could learn from some drag queens about tucking!

Oooh. You're right. Tom Daley and Jack Laugher are better looking. NBC hasn't been showing much in terms of men's competition, specifically, I don't remember diving being televised. Nice to see they're still competing at the ripe "old age" of 30! 😋

Not quite as handsome, but one who's proud to represent his country is weightlifter Hampton Miller Morris.

I'll say that so far the man I've found the best looking is Armand "Mondo" Duplantis. He was born and grew up in the US (didn't even speak decent Swedish until 4 years ago), but decided to represent Sweden (citizenship from his mother's side) when they gave his father a job as his coach. Don't they have their own language?

You're free to make shit up and not reveal your sources. Just don't complain when others call you as a bullshitter.

I've been to both Helsinki and to Hell, Cayman Islands...😁

Where the Hell did the Thai Department of Health come up with the idea that high calcium intake increases the risk of stones? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4708574/ "...There is level 1 evidence that dietary calcium intake is a protective factor against stone formation...". There is an association between high sugar intake and kidney stones, although there are plenty of confounding variables, so one can definitely not assume causation. https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/study-links-a-sugar-heavy-diet-to-a-higher-risk-of-kidney-stones "...The possible connection? Other research has shown that sugar increases the amount of calcium in urine, and that excess [urinary] calcium can increase the risk of stone formation. Also, added sugars can lead to weight gain, which is associated with high blood pressure, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes — all of which are considered risk factors for kidney stones, according to the researchers...". Even if it ends up being the case (which we don't know) that high sugar intake increases the risk of some kidney stones, that should only be of concern for someone who's had kidney stones (and I'd add that not all kidney stones have calcium, although certainly more than half do). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5817324/ There are plenty of reasons to avoid added sugar in one's diet. Kidney stones, if it ends up being the case that sugar is an independent risk factor, would constitute a relatively minor concern (as opposed to obesity, diabetes, and other more common health concerns).

Choosing Shapiro would have kept Muslim voters at home, resulting in a likely loss of Michigan. Probably a good choice.
