That all looks so good. If only I could abide fish....

The water would just accumulate in my stomach while I remained dehydrated, as I sweated faster than it absorbed.

I've had that happen a couple of times myself. Really the only solution I've found is to slow the hell down and get into some shade. I've become pretty good at knowing how much I'm exerting myself, and when it's hot as balls with direct sun and all inclines, sometimes I'll slow down to 20 or 30% what I'm capable of doing, for exactly that reason.

@axtremus said in Michigan Senate Report on the November 2020 Election:

The four Michigan state senators who authored the report comprise of three Republicans (including the committee chair) and one Democrat.

From the report:

This Committee found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election.

I'm glad that the evidence of fraud they found did not rise, in their estimation, to the level of "widespread" or "systematic".

Nothing a "whiff of grapeshot" can't sort with the rabble. Been done before, why not do it now?

Because the leftist culture won't allow it, of course. Law enforcement hurts their feelings.

Then I guess you'll just have to hurt their feelings.

Hurting their feelings causes the whole country to riot. It's a vicious cycle.

It's a stupid mistake for sure, but it looks like they are trying to make it right. They are waving three months of subscription fees while they work on a software update to bring back "free run" without requiring subscription.

@george-k said in "The dog ate my gene sequence.":

According to the NIH statement, the researcher asked that the sequences be removed from the NIH database because they had been updated and were to be rerouted to another database, the name of which remains unknown. <

And it didn't occur to anyone to say, 'K, when we get the updated sequences we'll send back the old ones?

Just because they're out to get you doesn't mean you're not paranoid.

Don't either. What does Hungary need with a Chinese university?

Ha. RJR, Philip Morris.

@george-k said in ‘Whitelist,’ ‘Blacklist’: The New Debate Over Security Terminology:

Don't get me started on "male" and "female" connectors.

All kinds of new adapters today…

That reminds me of the Apollo Soyuz mission

I remember that they had to jump through hoops to make sure the mating adapter used to dock the spacecraft was neither male nor female. Because it would have been a slight to have one country or the other be the female.

$500 again.

A grandmother from Indiana who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Wednesday to three years of probation for her participation in the riot, making her the first person sentenced in the attack.

Anna Morgan-Lloyd, a 49-year-old hair salon owner, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building, which carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. Washington, D.C., District Judge Royce Lamberth also ordered her to complete 40 hours of community service and pay $500 in restitution.

The sentence is what the defense had asked for, and the government supported.

Morgan-Lloyd, who prosecutors said did not participate in any of the violence at the Capitol, posted on Facebook after the attack that it was the "best ... day ever," adding a curse word to the description.

Prior to sentencing, prosecutors said they found the sentence "appropriate," despite what they called Morgan-Lloyd's initial "ill-considered and misguided commentary," in part because there was no evidence that she preplanned her attack or incited others, and because she worked with investigators, admitted to her actions, and expressed contrition.

@aqua-letifer said in FightForSchools.com. (HEY LD! Did you get this??):

Like I said, what's interesting to me is that as far as Loudoun County and much of the internet is concerned, I'm pretty apolitical.

Are there cracks showing in the dam? Is the quiet middle going to start taking a side? I wonder how long they can hold out before they pretty much have to get involved.

They did in NJ and forced a school board to take back the un-naming of all holidays.
