Simply put, a hungry hunter hunts harder.

Not surprising at all about the health care costs and increasing administration. @mik is ahead of his time. There was a medical clinic in Oklahoma(?) that decided to not take any insurance - cash only. They could end up charging less and still make money.

Definitely a skill in being a sports announcer. A lot happening in a very short time. Each sport requires a bit different style I think.

@George-K said in Should immigrants possess firearms?: I remember an attorney who used to be here instructed me that the constitution says “The People” and not citizens. If that be the case, then anybody within the borders has the full rights of the Constitution. Due process, yes. All rights, no. If so, then any MS 13 gangbanger that wades the Rio Grande is entitled to an AR-15 and a case of ammo.

@Jolly said in Quote of the day: And WTF does that have to do with the original quote? Absolutely nothing at all. Incidentally, MM famously described The Life of Brian as a 10th rate film. Presumably me pointing out that piece of blasphemy will also irritate you. I think my real point was that as a Briton growing up in the 70's I had to suffer quite a bit of getting lectured by Mr. Muggeridge, and it left a bit of a mark.

It would kill hundreds of millions, at the right time of the year. It would also put a huge dent in China's electrical generation capacity and in their food production.

Nah, that's two alphas in the same pit...

@Jolly said in The Elites' Perceptions: Think you've already said that. I'm not sure it invalidates the data. “He uses statistics as a drunken man uses a lamp post. For support rather than illumination”

@Mik said in Da Playoffs: @LuFins-Dad said in Da Playoffs: After that officiating, I am definitely pulling for Buffalo. Yep. The ball was not in the air yet. Yeah, and the rule itself is a little suspect to me. The defender did not run into the receiver, the receiver ran into the defender… I hate when that gets called a foul in basketball, too.

@taiwan_girl The only person J Edgar Hoover didn’t have under surveillance was himself. If he did, he would have either had to blackmail himself or charge himself for extortion. Am sure he could have exchanged sordid stories with the likes of Heydrich and Beria no problem.

1,000 Houthis each wouldn’t even cover it.

Yeah, I watched a few videos from that channel and I like and respect what he does.

There are 13 guys in the UFL that were practice squad or briefly with the Saints. https://saintswire.usatoday.com/lists/2024-ufl-super-draft-picks-former-saints-players/

@Horace said in Crenshaw vs United: There has to be more to this. My thought as well. But, if the UA rep grabbed the laptop from Crenshaw, and he has it on audio, well....

Better than sniffing.

This country has the same birth right to citizenship as the US. The difference here being that is not constitutional but rather, contained in the Citizenship Act and therefore easily amended through introducing amending legislation in Parliament. There are currently some discussions about eliminating the birthright section going forward but not enough to spur any debate among legislators. I would certainly support its amendment and elimination.

The bad thing about the loss of the newspapers is that paper will get more and more of their news from a "silo". If you start reading articles, etc. that are more from the left (or right) side, search engines will start to recommend only those types of articles and you miss out on the other sides point of view.

Seems weird that she would have a camera on her watching her eat chips and salsa.
