@Mik said in Nah, blue lives do not matter...: There should be a law. No, there should specifically not be a law. But we should bring back duels. If not duels, then specifically go easy on anybody that chooses to beat the crap out of these people.

That sounds like defeatism. How bourgeois.

Cool

My silver eagle coins are a microaggression. Not so micro anymore, silver is up like 4% today.

Thanks! That's very interesting.

Full agreement. It's getting nasty out there in places.

Yesterday, I spend a very satisfying afternoon conducting an examination of the developmental cycle of a number of green monocotyledonous flowering plants.

No, that is something different. I know it is in the works, but that's all.

Even if you don’t know that you should know better than to run up behind a horse suddenly.

Yep.

My mom was a social worker for three decades. When things were bad enough that you had to remove someone from a home right damn now, they called my mom and an officer. Even with a police escort, she had a ton of experiences bad enough that they made things interesting for me at home. I don't think I have to ask her how good of an idea she thinks this is.

Interesting data. Kind of "fun" to look at the different numbers. Would be nice if you were able to look at the "rankings" of the different states and countries by the various columns. For example, additional deaths as % of total. I just did an "eyeball" and it looks like the most 5 successful states going to the future are New York Conn New Jersey Mass Illinois
