@Klaus said in 45 seconds per man: 45 seconds? That's 23 seconds more than the average male on TNCR lasts. You're looking at the European study.

Also, there should be a difference between despising a politician and despising the people who vote for him.

BTW, the wife made the Bride's Cake. Mostly just to see how cornstarch worked in a cake...

@jon-nyc said in RIP Gale Sayers: The Bears played at Wrigley? https://www.chicagobears.com/news/a-change-from-wrigley-to-soldier-field-17831297 [image: spfztre82fqqyglaj0yn.jpg] Back when professional football started and the team needed a place to play, Bears founder, longtime coach and owner George S. Halas made an annual handshake deal with Cubs chairmen William Veeck Sr. and P.K. Wrigley, allowing the Bears to play their home games every fall at Wrigley Field (originally called Cubs Park). Halas wrote in his autobiography that in exchange for allowing the Bears to use the ballpark, the Cubs received 15 percent of the profits from ticket sales and concessions, unless the gate receipts exceeded $10,000, in which case the Cubs got 20 percent. Halas negotiated that the Bears kept all of the money from selling game programs. The main stipulation from the Cubs' side, however, was that the Bears had to open the season every year on the road, since the baseball team needed the stadium for games through September.

@Jolly said in It won't be there long...: @Aqua-Letifer said in It won't be there long...: Makes you wonder how bad it'll be allowed to get, and how widespread it's going to be. Kent State. I think so, too, actually.

@Axtremus said in The Sheraton: @Jolly said in The Sheraton: @Axtremus said in The Sheraton: @Jolly said in The Sheraton: Drug abuse and mental illness go hand in hand. Much of the street problem in any city, can be helped tremendously by a robust mental health programs, with short term and long term beds. Good theory, then you kick and scream about "paying taxes" to "fund government healthcare" that's needed to run those "robust mental health programs." Find any post - you've got twenty years to work with - where I've advocated cutting mental health. I'll wait. You just kick and scream about "paying taxes" and "funding government healthcare" in general that will inevitably cut into mental health. I gave you an assignment. Don't fuck it up. I'm waiting...

@Axtremus said in At Aqua's next work meeting: There's a scene of a briefcase concealed automatic assault rifle opening up more or less like that (but much cooler, much faster) in the "Ghost in the Shell" animated feature, later also replicated in the live action remake. God help me that's the first thing I thought of, too. Guns even look the same.

You'll put your eye out.

@Kincaid said in I think I have enough...: Assuming warning shots would be about 10x actually shooting people, I am probably woefully short. You know what that means... If you needed most rifle or shotgun shells, they're unobtainable. Same for buckshot. I've seen birdshot out there. And this works: https://m. Link to video

Looks like a house I once saw a picture of in Maine.....

Joe Biden is taking a few days off.. he's very upset.. He just found out that Babe Ruth died....

And yet vote harvesting is legal.

I'll bet their service concept diversifies.

I feel for her and her boyfriend. I would very possible have done exactly the same - and that is even IF I heard them shouting they were police. But I don't blame the police for shooting back once shot at. Sadly, if she had been asleep in bed she would have been fine.
