Open Thread Friday 2-21-2020

This program originally developed in Brazil about 10 years ago is a good foundation. It is not complicated. Simple adjustments can be made to accommodate food sensitivities, medical conditions and many of the dietary suggestions that have been offered in multiple C99 diaries.

Submitted by Not Henry Kissinger on Thu, 02/20/2020 - 6:35pmMike Bloomberg thought he would come swinging onto the Dem debate stage like Spiderman, spinning an impenetrable golden web to bedazzle and entrap his opponents. Instead, he swung straight into a bug zapper.

Submitted by Alligator Ed on Thu, 02/20/2020 - 5:31pmGreetings, fellow swampers and those preferring to remain dry:
Here at the Alligator University Department of political Science (what an oxymoron) in conjunction with the Department of Computational Science, our scholars have definitively proven the following theorem:
1 + 21 = 1
Please follow along with the the argument, as such mathematical reasonings are called.
