    covid-19

    I can't help but wonder if that when the unvaxxed see that - it begets five vaccinations. I once had a wreck on my bike which launched me in the air and my head landed on a curb. My Shoei helmet was split in half instead of my head and I had a mild concussion. THE NEXT DAY - five guys I ride with went out and bought Shoei full face helmets.
  2. "Vietnam War casualties were disproportionality suffered by soldiers from minority groups"(Appy 1993, Guzman 1969) and lower socioeconomic status backgrounds (Foust & Botts 1991; Olsen & Roberts 1996). But, they were also the majority in combat arms at the time - 1) due to the lack of Collège deferment opportunities (schools in black neighborhoods were not the epicenter of college prep), 2) the option back then of jail/prison or the military, and, 3) seeing it as an option to get out of the lower class neighborhoods (Recruiters making empty promises).
  3. Both of you - sidestepping the point.
  4. So to address this inequity, every time the taller player scores his points would be redistributed. Play Golf much? Ever run track? Ever been in the military and had to proctor a PT Test with men & women. It's not about redistribution; it's about recognizing "the advantage" overall. If Winsor showed up on a court, I'm fairly confident the NBA player would spot him a couple of points, give him a class on 3 point shots, how to pivot or check against taller people. ETA: Now, what if there were a law or rule that no one Winsor's height was allowed on a basketball court.
  5. But if just the both of you showed up on the court; he would immediately know that he has an advantage on the court. Note: In his world. Get it?

    Yup. First mistake. You'll probably go to hell for not pitching in for the new Lear jet.
  7. LOVE the thread title. Love more that you extrapolate less than the full picture. https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_U.S._Congress_incumbents_who_are_not_running_for_re-election_in_2022 U.S. House announcements over time by election cycle, 2018-2022 shows 2018 being more than 2020 or 2022 with 2022 being the least.
  8. You'll know you found one when they get up and leave.
  9. A Republican Party staffer who has gotten in trouble in the past for social media posts promoted a debate watch party Wednesday by alleging Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris used sex to advance her career. “If there are any questions on how to sleep your way to the top, Kamala will have an advantage,” Best wrote. His post included a meme that said, “She will be an inspiration to young girls by showing that if you sleep with the right powerfully connected men then you too can play second fiddle to a man with dementia. It’s basically a Cinderella story.” https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/10/07/gop-official-deletes-post-claiming-kamala-harris-used-sex-advance/5910790002/
  10. Today we celebrate Martin Luther King and all he did for racial equality. He started a movement which begat numerous other movements for equality; Latinos, LGB, Women . . . In India, there was a sub-population caste from the rest of society and they sang "We shall overcome" as they marched. For me, his greatness lie in the day he gave the speech to a mob of 200,000 almost on the verge of a riot, they call in the National Guard, and as he gets about 1/3 of the way through the speech, the crowd begins to quiet and by halfway, they are listening to what he has to say. There's a video somewhere of that day - not just of his speech, but everything that was going on and just how amazing that it all came to a stop. As for Truman changing; I'd like to believe that when he heard of what happened to his fellow veterans, he got pissed. I'd like to think he thought they were veterans first and blacks second.
  11. The irony lies in a gay Catholic man not realizing his own path made due to a "woke" movement.
  12. That's not what it shows. It shows the British Pound is undervalued. :)
  13. The ? was more about your wording.
  14. OK, so are we keeping or ridding the 13th Amendment? Just trying to keep accurate notes.
  15. Maybe one solution would be to have immigrants sign a contract to work for an employer for a year where the employer has to pay all their bills and take care of their housing.
  16. I didn't think the irony scale could peg out that far, but . . . Andrew Sullivan
  17. Give it time. It's a process that starts with . . .
  18. Morning Rust, Kinda chuckled at this ~126 MPH freefall = wind gusts of an F2 Tornado : ) Most of the time, the bag doesn't leave the pack tray symmetrically and can spin a couple of times. Have fun.

  20. OK. Let’s see if we got it all: Article II– scrrrraaatch – got it. 2nd Amendment – scrrrraaatch – got it. Twelfth Amendment – scrrrraaatch – got it. Fourteenth Amendment – scrrrraaatch – got it. Twentieth Amendment – scrrrraaatch – got it. Twenty-Second Amendment – scrrrraaatch – got it. Twenty-Third Amendment – scrrrraaatch – got it.

Chapter 1 of Title 3, United States Code Sections 1-20 – scrrrraaatch – got it. There, I think I got 'em all or did you want another meeting of let’s rip up the US Constitution.
  21. You spelled it wrong. It's obfuscation.

    I'd like to agree, but my experience has been, "Most."
