As I’ve said before until there is a plan b, the party will stay with plan a. It would be suicidal to 2022 if they were to do otherwise. So far Trump in the background is helping very much to maximize the House majority and is even helping put the Senate in play. The Senate for 2022 is a toss up at this time.

@jolly said in Cholesterol: My wife worked with a lady who lived the ultimate healthy lifestyle. She watched her weight religiously, ate very little red meat, exercised daily and her husband shouldered most of the stress of everyday life (he was the minister of a large church). She died in her early seventies, about seven or eight years after her quad by-pass, from a MI. That 30% that’s genetic is what is sounds like took her. The 70% that is lifestyle related for healthy longevity is what you are gunning for.

Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, don't leave me Look around, choose your own ground Long you live and high you fly Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run, rabbit, run Dig that hole, forget the sun When at last the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one Long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide Balanced on the biggest wave Race towards an early grave

@jolly said in Is the Navy Ready?: @george-k said in Is the Navy Ready?: @jolly "Diversity is our strength." Diversity in the military is BS. Nothing should stand in the way of the essential mission, which is to kill people and break things. Yes, of course But you won't find a single person in the Pentagon who would say that out loud.

I remember once on Sky King, Sky said over the radio that everything was OK, just like a day in May. The guys on the ground recognized that he was secretly calling Mayday! Sky was really clever. This show went off the air in 1959, so that was a long time ago.

Huh...., I seem to remember back several years ago when I cited some climate scientists who explained why "man made global warming" was nonsense, that I was told in no uncertain terms that only peer reviewed writings could be believed. It was the gold standard I was told.... now the same one who told me that is saying peer reviewed is meaningless..... How very interesting....

@mark said in Goldfish are invasive and resilient: Sorry for all the Talapia hate. lol All good man, I'm not at all a tilapia fan anyway; yep, fully aware of the B.S. surrounding the industry. (That's why I find it funny they offer weekly tilapia specials; not touching that shit, that's for sure!) Also, I don't care what hard-working, indigenous, man-of-the-sea source you have for your seafood, but around here at least, it's very hard not to have a high mercury content. Best to be eaten sparingly.

Still good news if true. The timing is suspect.

@mik said in Well, take your balls out of your purse...: If you are counting out religious girls you are missing out. They were why I went to church. And now they're why you're going to hell.

@aqua-letifer said in The TSA instagram page: @george-k said in The TSA instagram page: Just think on that a second. Somebody wrote that shit. And probably got paid to do so with tax money. Yup. @Catseye3 Trees are as weird as I want to get. Sounds reasonable to me. And a lot more sane.

@george-k said in Campbell on embedded media myths (Watergate): “To say that the press brought down Nixon, that’s horseshit.” They certainly contributed. Maybe not just Bernstein and Woodward, but a lot of others stuck to the story. The same break-in during the Biden campaign would have had no effect at all.

I did actually root for England. They were clearly better in the first half. But the penalty shootout strategy was just terrible. Who the hell told them to attempt these circus tricks that don't work?

It is good that we have someone making sure the churches deliver the right message.

I would like to have a better understanding of the sorts of squabbles these Chicagoans are dying over. The media is not exactly all over the particulars of these sorts of stories.
