@jolly said in The "Healthy Skeptic" on Mask Mandates: A study done by the UK public health agency found that among all surfaces, CV-19 survived second longest on masks, up to 20 hours. Eventually that virus finds its way into the wearer’s or others’ respiratory system. It isn’t just CV-19 that is collected, and scientists have been remarkably incurious about the total number and type of pathogens collected in a mask over hours of wearing, and the ultimate fate of those pathogens. This lack of research is almost certainly politically motivated. Shut up

The 10mm was the more effective pistol. More rounds, but a much more powerful round. A lot of people don't handle the 10mm very well. The Buffalo Bore Bullets were very hard lead alloy bullets, designed for penetration. BB also has a reputation for hot loads.

Mandates for thee but not for me!

Puppy sez: "I'm being have!"

Yep. Glad to hear she's turned the corner.

Does anyone believe this stuff? This is really crazy. I can only assume that Ms. Pelosi believes it. Who is feeding her?

Fucking hell. This is what happens when Ax types get their way and only STEM disciplines are taught in school.

I’ve been a fan of Scott Sumner for over a decade, but I think his first commenter (whom he complements) nails the changes in art better than he does.

A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest..

@doctor-phibes said in Irony fail?: @aqua-letifer said in Irony fail?: I feel like selfishness is a common shorthand Catholics like to use when expressing their dislike for how other people live their lives. TBH, I don't care whether it's selfish or not, I just find it hilarious coming from somebody who's sworn to celibacy because of his day-job. You only got partial points here, bro! His namesake! Francis of Assisi! Guess what he's known for?
