I think it behooves you to provide a cite, since you don’t have any more reliable sources for doubting Mark_Finn than hallucinatory plagiarism machines.
On May 29, 1917, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy gave birth to her second son, future president John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in an upstairs bedroom of her family home at 83 Beals Street, Brookline, MA.
James Earl Carter Jr. was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, at the Wise Sanitarium, where his mother worked as a registered nurse. Carter was the first U.S. president born in a hospital.
Thanks.
This is where the recent Presidents were born:
- Jimmy Carter (1924): Wise Sanitarium in Plains, Georgia.
- Joe Biden (1942): St. Mary’s Hospital in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
- Donald Trump (1946): Jamaica Hospital in Queens, New York.
- George W. Bush (1946): Grace-New Haven Community Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut.
- Bill Clinton (1946): Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, Arkansas.
- Barack Obama (1961): Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii.
I’ll just steal this, thank you…

Feel free, it’s not entirely mine but a paraphrase of something I read somewhere.
Are you a plagiarism machine?
No, he steals, mediocre people (and LLMs) copy, geniuses steal
You stole that from Picasso, QED.
Shamelessly!
I don’t have a source to support the specific notion that using the fleeces to gather gold inspired the Jason myth, but evidently gold was placer mined that way IRL. I have this from Laura Spinney’s 2025 book Proto on the origin and develoment of the Indo-European languages. My copy is on Audible so I can’t see the bibliography, but she may have been referencing Strabo, who described this method around the turn of the Common Era.
Did the kid cry “wah! wah!”?
Patrolman Dominic Hodson of the Berlin Borough Police Department had been assisting with a nearby traffic stop when dispatch directed him to a Wawa for a woman in labor.
Taylor Durham and her husband, Phil Durham, were driving to Virtua Medical Center when labor progressed rapidly.
Phil Durham said he decided to stop when he realized help was nearby.
“I had passed an officer, somebody for whatever, for a traffic stop. OK, and I knew and in the area, the ambulance, somebody had to be close to the baby. I knew he was minutes away, so I had to stop,” he said.
According to the family, a baby boy was born about three minutes later. Hodson arrived in time to check the newborn’s condition until emergency medical personnel reached the scene.
“Just being on the phone with dispatch, I could sense that somebody was there, that I wasn’t alone,” Phil Durham said.
The department later presented the family with a care package of baby supplies and a department-themed onesie. Hodson said the call was his first baby delivery and that he had not known what to expect.
Well, color me stupid (and do not stay within the lines). I used the word “reg” incorrectly to describe our mountain’s dearth of snow. Something I read years ago lent me the impression that it descended from “regolith”, but apparently it is a word of Arabic-ish origin, used specifically to describe vast tracts of the Sahara (which is mostly like a proper tavern parking lot, not a sea of sand). But, there does seem to be a sort of convergence of meaning.
Oh, now, you are just making too much of nothing
You speak of country matters?
I posted this in another thread, but I’ll put it here as well.
Missouri and Kentucky share a common border of about 60 miles, all of which is the Mississippi River. There no bridges over the river in that entire stretch, meaning that you cannot drive from Missouri to Kentucky without either taking a ferry or going through another state.
Having the rudest waiters in London is all well and good, but San Francisco’s legendary Sam Wo restaurant once claimed to have the world’s rudest waiter.
I ate at Sam Wo’s many times but after Edsel has passed. They kept the tradition going. As I recall, you couldn’t ask for substitutions or modifications of anything on the menu and your choices for drinks were tap water or cans of regular Coca-Cola. Cheap prices and the best chow fun ever. It was truly a hole in the wall.
Hold that thought – just go on ahead whilst I pause to look upon the hedge.
IIRC (my dad used to travel on business quite a bit between STL and Paducah KY) you cross at Cairo IL which is at or near the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
which touches on (goes through) Illinois
