    I dunno. The CDC still checks on my SIL. I think she's commented quite a bit. Or, my wife who went into A-Fib might have a comment or two. Of course, the CDC would actually have to get back in touch with her or her physician, which they haven't. As I said, the system is self-reporting. I suspect that few reports are being followed up on, even the deaths. Therefore, my comment about good data.

    Maybe it’s time to require attendees at this event to pass an English speaking test first.

    @jolly said in "No knowledge of his business - we've never talked about it.": If it was important for the nation concerning Trump, it should be just as important for Biden More important because after Trump, he should know better. Lock him up

    @george-k said in My 50 Cal Exploded: "I'm gonna shoot a 50 cal round into a fire hydrant. What could possibly go wrong?" Granted, his...um..."experience" had nothing to do with his target, but.... Not as wild as you would think. A 30-06 AP will go through a piece of railroad steel. I've got some 7.62x39 AP, which is pretty anemic and it will bust an engine block. A .50 BMG will blow through 1/4" plate steel like hot buttah, so a fire hydrant ain't past the point of possibilities. The lock up system on his rifle is fairly robust. The point failure was how it blew up. With something like a Barrett, I would think it would fail at the locking ring, which might not blow the back of the bolt in your face (reason the 98k Mauser has a blast shield). That round was hot, hot, hot.

    No cameras from nearby buildings? That seems unusual these days. Also another article said some witnesses corroborated his account. If he lifted the rifle I’d say it’s pretty clear cut. Someone lifts a gun at me and I have one you bet I am going to save my ass.

    Why is it always freaking wedding cakes? You're telling me that there's that much of a lack of imagination that they can't think of another way to make the news by being denied service by a Christian hard-liner?

    Was this really secret knowledge? When I heard about the brown M&M's thing that's just what I assumed regarding the reason.

    "Don't be evil" was always code for "don't be considered politically incorrect by American pop culture".

    One of my closest surgeon friends built his own airplane (One of the Van's series - a tail dragger). He looked at the cost as well as the performance hit of having it painted. He decided to not paint.
