    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.

    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?

    I just found a Lear 45 Airplane Flight Manual (instruction book), the accident plane was a Lear 35, but I assume it was similar.

    Here is the whole AFM https://hangar45.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/learjet-45-afm.pdf

    Here is the page that answers your question, as the bank angle goes up, the stall speed goes up, follow the dotted line:

    ![.](f9429ea7-e87a-4f1f-b438-6261cc239638-image.png .)

    I might have mentioned before that I (used to) spend a lot of time reading Airplane Flight Manuals, sometimes known as Pilots Operating Handbook (POH). I used 85 different POHs building one of my Apps. I like reading these things

    Here is what Stall Speed definition looks like in a Cessna 182T, 4-seat single prop plane that I used to fly.

    Expressed by numbers in a table. A different format than the graph format used in the Lear above.

    Perhaps...If you have any comorbidities at all, China does not count it as a COVID death?

    @jolly said in Alex Berenson is an a-hole:

    I like Tucker.

    Most of the time, so do I. He's provocative, to say the least. I don't think he's descended into Beck territory, yet.

    I don't accept everything he says as gospel. Or everything his guests say as gospel.

    Yes, and that's one of my points. What his guests was clearly wrong, and, if he considers a journalist, he should have pushed back. And he didn't. He smiled and nodded, accepting Berenson's comments without question or criticism.

    That should be his job.

    But, it's not.

    His job is to make money for Fox (which he's doing very well, I might add), so, there's that.

    Tested positive again implies she has already tested positive some days before… According to CDC Guidance if she is 5 days since her initial onset of symptoms and is 24 hours symptom free then she is good to go…..

    The real interesting thing about index funds is - if everyone were to just buy index funds, the buy/sell signals of individual trades dries up.

    Does the market still work ok with only relatively few people actively trading equities.

    No

    Did you know that Joe Pepitone was the first major league ballplayer to bring a hair dryer into the locker room?

    He was in with the mob too.

    He was the second string first baseman behind Moose Skowron. His mob friends told him that Skowron wouldn't play so good with cracks in his fingers. Pepitone had to beg them not to crack Skowron's fingers.
