Damn Z! You got reported? That’s bullshit, you’re the top Dog here, plus you posts never offend anyone, at least not that I know of.

Reporting a moderator that’s a new one for me.

Nobody reported him just that post. Also I can understand why someone might take small offence to that post eventhough ofcourse it was a tongue in cheek kinda post.

Exactly, and I don't want to be above the rules. If I'm called on to moderate myself, I shall discharge my duties to the fullest of my ability.

And I like to think of myself not as a top dog, but as one of many cool cats.

Yeah! No top dogs here! Only cool cats!

I didn't think Russia was Communist anymore. Or is that just "on paper" only? Perhaps someone who is familiar with the socio-economic system in Russia could provide some insight?

That’s what they say, deep down he’s still a commie Vyn.

I'd say it's more about the preservation of power at the center, regardless of the overall political/economic system. China's gone the same way, pretty much, although China still does lip service to Communist ideals.

I've been to both China and Russia and in both of those places got sent "messages" so that I knew I was being watched. Everywhere else I've been, stuff like that doesn't happen.

I was in the local paper a few days ago.

From the Times Colonist

Less than an hour after FARM opened its doors, Brad Allen stood at the polished marble countertop and spoke to a “budtender” about the various cannabis strains, The dried product, which ranges in price from $8.99 to $15.99 per gram, can be selected using a large touch screen embedded in the counter, and CBD oils are visible through a lit display case. Allen, who uses cannabis to treat irritable bowel syndrome, said he was a FARM customer before the store shuttered and is happy to be able to return and buy cannabis legally.

Allen said it’s frustrating it took six months after legalization for Victoria to finally get a licensed cannabis store.
“I don’t understand that, really. I think [the regulators] were a little hard on them,” he said.

Nice job, Thel !   
If there is anyone in Victoria that is an expert on this subject, it's you.

Meanwhile, back in Dallas, I can't read the website dallasnews.com from my hotel in England because The Dallas Morning News isn't GDPR-compliant yet.

I was just wondering if the dam in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire that is in danger of collapse has made it to news broadcasts beyond the shores of Britain?

Wow!  I had not heard of this.  Some people are being given limited access to their homes.  I hope this does not effect you, KDC.

No I'm quite a long way from this. But it's been the top story for the last couple of days and now there's a bad weather warning for the area for the next day or two which won't help. That's when they should be deny access to their homes, at the moment it is relatively safe, so control access but it shouldn't be too limited.

That story actually aired on my local news this morning.
