    @copper said in The coming storm: @kluurs said in The coming storm: If the FBI knew, would the President or at least some of his minions have been told. Why no action? You're not thinking like a conspiritualist . They did know. They knew everything. And there was plenty of action. They quietly locked up the leaders before the Trump speech began. Then the FBI asked Mr. Trump to encourage the rest to march on the Capitol so they could identify the remaining threats. The heroic Trump, forsaking his own reputation, incited the mob to ensure the FBI's success. He will take this information to his grave in order to continue to safeguard the nation. That's so interesting, it's the only time the only person has ever put into words exactly what I think.

    Right but at the same time let's call BS on the notion that this was a legitimate attempt at a coup. It was more accurately imagined as an iteration on the prior riots of 2020, with the police acting (or not acting) very similarly. In a law and order society, this "coup" would have resulted in way more deaths of the suicidal folk attempting to overtake the Capitol. But we established in 2020 that we do not have a law and order society.

    @jolly said in Reported to US Fish and Wildlife: @horace said in Reported to US Fish and Wildlife: @jolly said in Reported to US Fish and Wildlife: You need a life. He has one, tweaking Trump supporters on TNCR. Life is finite. I doubt Jon gets his number of internet posts chiseled on his tombstone. I'll etch it on his back when he's gone.

    Fascinating. I intend to bring this little story up at our department meeting. I use a bag mostly because I’ve experienced a fat appendix not in a bag sort of come apart and open on retrieval. But that’s not the point. The bag issue is a just an example. This is about data and how we collect and understand it. Knowing that the variables are sometimes too messy to quantify accurately. Especially true in surgery as opposed to drug testing. Or vaccine testing hopefully.
