@LuFins-Dad Well, President Trump couldn’t bring back manufacturing. I guess it is up to Vice President Biden to do so! 🙂

If only Mr. Trump hadn't messed up the virus challenge

It is obvious now that he was just trying to kill inferior people

Seems like alot of what was written could apply to both sides.

I am pretty sure the Republics would be complaining if in 2016, the opposite were true.

If there was a Republic president, democrat Senate and a dead Supreme Court judge. I think it is nave to think otherwise.

The Constitution has been interpreted differently over the years.

(Having said the above, I am not a good historian on the US constitution, but I do know that many many very smart people have disagreed on some of the meaning of it and how it applies to laws.)

What Jolly said. You’re old enough to have outgrown the feeling of ‘but those health issues I hear others talk about will never happen to me’.

A good washing machine can easily cost a grand. It's maybe not the best thing to steal on a "$ per pound of weight" basis, but it is a reasonably high value item.

You guys.....

Yes, excellent. I hope Ax reads it.

A few quotes to pique interest:

"They cannot escape because they do not know they are prisoners." "This was what I found most jarring, the cognitive dissonance, the inability to surrender an ideological commitment in the face of overwhelming evidence of that commitment’s illogic—including one’s own misery." "That doubt, that suspicion that we may be wrong—about something we believe, about those with whom we disagree—is the only thing that can save us."

The article is well worth reading, especially if you have some little background in Russian literature of the period. As with his students, it was an undergrad course a long time ago for me.

Alternate title “shallow fakes”.

It was funny but he still hasn’t beaten what he did in the 2012 GOP primary. That was hilarious. Maybe just because it was all new then.

Is it anti-Semitism or anti-Israel?

A good article on it that was shared here awhile back:

His performance of K.333 was stupid fast.

After the self-righteousness about mask-wearing I see, how can anyone take these clowns seriously?

Do you know when that video was recorded? It could well predate the COVID-19 outbreak.

See TG's comments above, and my response.

The world runs on oil and will for at least several decades.

I understand Greta doesn't like this.

But even she knows that renewables still only supply a few percentage points - and almost none at night.

A miracle could happen at any moment.
But until it does hold on to your oil.

What is it they say about bringing clown shoes to a gunfight?

@Doctor-Phibes said in Ok, you old guys. Confession time.:

Thank God for punk rock.

Punk rock makes more sense now as a reaction to all the big hair and excesses everywhere.

Your comment is dead on.

The stupidest thing said this week.

It's only Tuesday. You've still got plenty of time.

@Mik said in 100% injury rate:

Yeah, I don't think that is even in question. You simply have to look at the nature of the game. Even if it's not football, in every professional sport you are pushing your body to its physical limits. You are going to get hurt.

Very true.

Life is a contact sport. Every interaction has a risk of physical or emotional injury, which has individual perception of how bad it is as variable.

Covid is causing a ton of injury well beyond the infection itself, how is that injury measured?

So what lens do we want to evaluate the “injury rate”?

Now we sell trinkets to Yankees. One they seem to like is a little wooden jack ass that you fill with toothpicks. When you push down on its head the tail raises and a toothpick shoots out its sss....
