I notice a common theme among some people here. They can't explain their thinking, so they find a video and say "watch this whole thing." If you can't summarize your opinion, I'm not going to watch an hour and forty minute video to make up for that inability. Sorry. This is another common theme here - discarding any data that does not support your belief. "The Shockley-Quessier limit means solar is a pipe dream!" (this was an actual claim here) "The SC limit is not an issue in solar. First off, that states that single crystal solar can never be more than 33% efficient. It's 22% now - which means it can get better by at least 50%. And it's STILL economical - and the price is STILL coming down. Price is not really affected by the SC limit. And it doesn't apply to multilayer anyway, like perovskite plus silicon. That can get you to 69% efficiency, which means practically you could double today's efficiencies." "None of that is relevant." Once again - if you use "woman" as an insult against a guy (or "effeminate" or "feminine" etc) it means you think comparing someone to a woman denigrates them. Even if you have a sister or a friend who is a woman. It's actually pretty common in some circles, just as some people think "that's mighty white of you" is a compliment. Now, if you just posted without thinking, or you asked Joe that by mistake, no worries. You could apologize for your poor choice of words and/or misunderstanding and we could move on. But I am done letting sexism, racism etc just slide to "get along." I've done enough of that throughout my life and I'm not doing it any more. It may cost me some friends, but that's a price I am willing to pay.

Whatever is going on in your life I hope you find the strength and peace you need.

You have people in jail over parking tickets and unpaid court fees. You would think that proponents of civil liberties and the constitution would be appalled by this huge miscarriage of justice, but the revenue for the corrections industry and the tough on "crime" punishment fetish must outweigh all those other fluff convictions. I guess if those people aren't from your neighborhood, income bracket, or they don't look like you the circumstances don't set off the small government personal rights spidey sense.

Except for healthcare and guns of course.

Leave people's families out of this. Yes, I know he brought it up. Doesn't make it OK.

It's all about freedom. If you don't like the mods you are free to leave.

We have all heard the answer to this many times. You don't shoot to kill, you shoot to stop. The death of the person shot is just an unfortunate consequence of the fact that the most sure way of stopping someone with bullets is almost always deadly.

Good review. I saw nothing in there about doing anything to anyone against there will so yep, still infinitely less offensive than Trump. Boys hear what Trump said and think about what they might be able to do to women.

Rose!?!?!? The song is clearly about tulips

IMO: The officer was too far away to do anything other than shoot. There's no way he could have got to her in time from that distance before the knife was thrust into the other girl. If I had a criticism about the officers actions; it would be his failure to "look past the shot." When I first saw it; it puckered my ass because you can see people in the background. I "don't think" he had to shoot to kill and was waiting for other video viewpoints before addressing this issue. Of concern is - on more than one occasion it's been reported that police had been on-site for several minutes. How come this wasn't de-escalated before it escalated to this point.

Tutti frutti, oh rootie A wop bop a loo bop a lop ba ba Nah, it ain't the Beatles or even Elvis with those scandalous hips. And also not Jagger singing "Let's Spend the Night Together". It is so graphic that it is more than a little jarring to be a pop song. It is openly about the lust of a woman for what a man can do for her. Not even a shred of romance. It was designed to shock and it does for many. Pre-teen girls are also confronted with boys and girls with easy access to porn. People are still people and hormones are still hormones, but the things that children have to deal with from a very young age make me wonder about how unhealthy it all is.

Go point, “I want to hold your hand” is just like “wet ass pussy” how could I have missed the similarities.

Come on Phil, you're just trying to distract us from Biden's plan to cap my beef limit to 4lb/year!

Its discouraging to have the only active conservatives in SC completely unable to deal with serious issues. The President announced what i understand to be a $4 trillion spending plan. An effort to expand social programs. Yet obscure rap b.s. is the concern. Since William Buckley died it seems as if serious factual debate from the right died.

It's nice to have adults back in the White House.

And the left calls that “art”

I wasn't familiar with the WAP song...let's review the lyrics. I said, certified freak Seven days a week Wet-ass pussy Make that pull-out game weak, woo (ah) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass pussy Give me everything you got for this wet-ass pussy Beat it up, nigga, catch a charge Extra large and extra hard Put this pussy right in your face Swipe your nose like a credit card Hop on top, I wanna ride I do a kegel while it's inside Spit in my mouth, look in my eyes This pussy is wet, come take a dive Tie me up like I'm surprised Let's role play, I'll wear a disguise I want you to park that big Mack truck Right in this little garage Make it cream, make me scream Out in public, make a scene I don't cook, I don't clean But let me tell you how I got this ring (ayy, ayy) Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (yeah) Quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me (yeah) I tell him where to put it, never tell him where I'm 'bout to be I'll run down on him 'fore I have a nigga running me (pow, pow) Talk your shit, bite your lip (yeah) Ask for a car while you ride that dick (while you ride that dick) You really ain't never gotta fuck him for a thang (yeah) He already made his mind up 'fore he came (ayy, ah) Now get your boots and your coat (ah, ah, ah) For this wet-ass pussy He bought a phone just for pictures Of this wet-ass pussy (click, click, click) Pay my tuition just to kiss me On this wet-ass pussy (mwah, mwah, mwah) Now make it rain if you wanna See some wet-ass pussy (yeah, yeah) Look, I need a hard hitter, I need a deep stroker I need a Henny drinker, I need a weed smoker Not a garden snake, I need a king cobra With a hook in it, hope it lean over He got some money, then that's where I'm headed Pussy A1, just like his credit He got a beard, well, I'm tryna wet it I let him taste it, now he diabetic I don't wanna spit, I wanna gulp I wanna gag, I wanna choke I want you to touch that lil' dangly thing That swing in the back of my throat My head game is fire, punani Dasani It's going in dry and it's coming out soggy I ride on that thang like the cops is behind me (yeah, ah) I spit on his mic and now he tryna sign me, woo Your honor, I'm a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes Switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating Put him on his knees, give him something to believe in Never lost a fight, but I'm looking for a beating (ah) In the food chain, I'm the one that eat ya If he ate my ass, he's a bottom feeder Big D stand for big demeanor I could make you bust before I ever meet ya If it don't hang, then he can't bang You can't hurt my feelings, but I like pain If he fuck me and ask, "Whose is it?"

I have no horse in this race. My daughter is old enough to make her own decisions.

You might be right. Or, this might make it more common. We’ll see.

Well, the alternatives to one hour in the US WS tunnel are to spend $1500 for 60 WS skydives over 10 days or spend $1k in travel to fly to Sweden and another $1500 an hour in that tunnel. For training purposes, I’d say $1500 per hour of tunnel time with world-class coaches is a bargain.

Hi folks, He got married at Chambley Air Base, France; where I was stationed a few years later: 'Forgotten Astronaut' Michael Collins Dies : NPR He stayed with the military and rose to the rank of Major General. Jerry Baumchen

Three rings of law enforcement: 1st Ring - Community Service Officers embedded in the community. Uniforms and radio only (listening posts for LE and the community) 2nd Ring - Qualified to handle hand-to-hand (no gun, but batons and hand-to-hand training). 3rd Ring - LE with weapons - CSO's can decide which of the next rings needs to respond. But, in order to do this - The number of weapons on the street needs to be reduced and the attitude of the 2nd amendment as an entitled right shifted to one of respect for the right. Shit, do I gotta do everything around here.

Getting that whole messenger/message thing mixed up again I see. What did he say that was factually incorrect? Let’s get back to comprehensive non-Eurocentric, intersectional climate action and dependence on ancestral indigenous wisdom to solve our climate crisis.

The troll doth protest too much, methinks.

In my church there is controversy about taking the vaccine. Many have taken it, including my wife and I, but some refuse. Those refusing are not vocal with their reasoning. It comes across as, mostly, the government is not going to tell me what to do. To me that is very weak and not very enlightening. Some of us have had the virus and some of those have died or still suffering long term effects. My wife is in this situation. To date we have had 8,254 infected and 214 deaths. I would guess around 50% of the seniors are vaccinated. Getting an appointment is a stumbling block. Personally, I think it is better to be as safe as possible than to be as sick as possible.

Contact Scotty Milne at Active Skydiving via his website. He can give you the pro's and con's of AFF in Scotland and, if necessary, give you good advice on an alternative solution.

Does he drive a black TransAm named KITT?

Why? Because they won't be allowed to get away with murdering Black people anymore? Or to show "those people" what happens when they get uppity and insist on the cops following the law in addition to enforcing it?

IMO if you are a cop worried you will end up in Chauvin’s position you should resign, and the good cops you leave behind will be thankful for it.

I understand that I am late, but according to this topic it was February of 2003:

Hi, I have a Sife myself and sold 3 rigs to customers. It is a very comfortable rig with a good, solid construction. I like to see it as a "European made Vector" :) Good Price/quality. I would be happy to buy another Sife container. The new 2.0 looks awesome.
