  1. Yeah. That's one of the strongest arguments that AGW is real. Insurance companies are in it for the profit. They're going to charge the lowest rates they can profit off of to be competitive (look at all the commercials). If they are ALL jacking up rates, or even abandoning certain areas, it's because they are paying out a LOT of money in claims.
  2. Nah. I don't think an electrical engineer would know much about solar. Or electricity.
  3. The numbers that came out & caused the stock market to dive were August year to year. So all of the inflation from the past year. Month to month has pretty much flattened out. But, of course, the Trumpettes would NEVER admit that.
  4. Wow. The 'demoncrats' can't get anything right. Here is a golden opportunity to 'destroy the economy'. To impose 'communism' on the country. To do all the terrible things the Trumpettes routinely accuse them of wanting to do. Instead, they have both sides sit down, work on negotiating all the way through the situation, come to a deal and avert a shutdown that would have pretty much paralyzed the supply chain in the US. Not bad for a 'senile old man.' Yes, it was his staff and assistants that did all the hard work. Yes, Biden himself didn't have very much direct involvement in the negotiations. But the staff that DID all the work was put in place by Biden. Can you imagine the dysfunctional shit show that was the Trump administration and the idiots and fools that he had in place pulling off anything of this magnitude?

    Q

    The last 2 paragraphs of the story: No shit Sherlock. Trump will keep on spewing bullshit, his idiotic supporters will keep on believing him.
  6. Kind of funny (not really) how they feel that gay marriage is 'forcing beliefs' on people, while laws discriminating against gay people are fine because 'that's what God says'.
  7. While the tanks are quality steel, overall they aren't all that valuable. Aside from a couple spelling mistakes, that was AWESOME!!!
  8. Well, Russian museums are full of T-55s & T-34s. Retirement homes are full of veterans who know (or at least knew) how to operate them.
  9. One of the stupidest things to come from the RNC in recent memory was the 'platform' Trump ran on for 2020. Which was simply the same one from 2016. Including language disparaging Obama. Link:https://www.vox.com/2020/8/24/21399396/republican-convention-platform-2020-2016
  10. Wanna bet? It's all he does. Not just with climate change. With EVERYTHING. He's the embodiment of Adam Savage's (the guy from Mythbusters) quote; "I reject your reality and substitute my own."
  11. I would think his chance of getting beheaded is rather small. Not zero, but small.
  12. They know full well they can't win a free & fair election. They've admitted it more than once. One report (lots more can be found with a search): https://www.wgbh.org/news/national-news/2021/03/04/republicans-cant-get-elected-unless-they-suppress-votes-says-former-suffolk-county-sheriff
  13. FIFY Seriously, that type of person is far, far, faaaaaar more interested in hurting the people they hate than helping the (very few) people they care about. They supported Trump because of it. Then they found out he didn't give a shit about them. They found out he didn't care who he hurt. Remember the 'he's hurting the wrong people' quote?
  14. Lots of folks have been using that metaphor for this. Every time I read it, I'm reminded of the old Cheech & Chong 'Ralph & Herbie' routine with 2 dogs having a conversation on the sidewalk. "Lets chase cars and get off on the exhaust." "Oh no sir boy, that stuff can give you brain damage." "Brain damage from car exhaust?" No man, brain damage from getting your head run over by the car's rear wheels."
  15. And, of course, posts a zillion bullshit claims with ZERO verification of any sort. At least Rushmc would post links to 'wattsupwiththat' or Epoch Times or some other garbage site. It was still complete bullshit, but at least he tried to cite sources.
  16. Well, then one more anecdote: Back when I was part of a small club DZ, we had a couple 'annual' groups. They'd come out once a season and do one S/L jump. They'd take the full FJC, do their jump and disappear until the next year. Each year there were some that didn't come back, and some new ones in each group. They were all treated as 'first time' students, although the ones that had done it before (and done reasonably well) were given a bit more freedom under canopy. FWIW, it was out of a 182, one student per pass, and the pilots knew their stuff well enough that they'd be on jump run with the door opening just as the previous one was touching down. I actually started out with one of these groups, but after that first jump said "I have to do THAT AGAIN".
  17. When seaching to see if HRC still had her clearance, I found a really funny story from Fox. Basically it said she should be stripped of her clearance because they didn't like her. Despite the fact that a clearance is rarely revoked just because someone leaves a position, they felt that hers should have been.
  18. And one reason that these studies show positive results is that parasites do a lot of damage. They weaken the entire body and make people more vulnerable to diseases... Like Covid. In places where parasites are common (like a lot of places other than the US), Ivermectin can be helpful. It gets rid of the parasites, makes one more healthy overall and therefore more likely to survive illness. Where is this study from? Brazil. Were parasitic infections in humans is a lot more common.
  19. So why wasn't she been? Trump had FOUR YEARS of his pet FBI director and Attorney General to investigate, charge & prosecute her. Funny that both the FBI & Justice department are that incompetent. Part of the difference is that Clinton actually HAD a security clearance. She gave it up, but she had legal authorization to see & possess classified stuff. Trump NEVER had a clearance. Not a 'real' one. He had access to stuff because of his position. Same thing with the kids. They were disqualified from getting them, but daddy said they could see important stuff anyway. Clinton held her clearance well after she left governement employment. Trump's legal access to classified stuff ended on Jan 21, 2021.
  20. More bullshit without any backup. Why am I not surprised?
  21. If they don't have electricity or running water, it wouldn't be any use to them. However, a toilet seat would be useful. That's why they're stealing those. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-qXF7_YI1E
  22. As noted in the story, this is the first time a judge ruled that the Jan 6th insurrection attempt was, in fact an insurrection attempt. Gotta wonder if that precedent will stand. Also wondering if the judge owes beer for that.
  23. Given his history on here, under a variety of names, Rhys is a 'true believer'. The 'Jews', the Rothchilds, the "Illuminati" control the world. 9/11 was an inside job. I haven't heard him say 'nanothermite' in a while, but it's really just a matter of time. Now he believes the vax is deadlier than Covid, that Ivermectin & HCQ are 'secret' cures that 'the doctors don't want you to know about'. All the standard shit. All because he knows more than everyone else. Not just 'anyone' else, but everyone who doesn't believe his crap. His comments on why InfoWars shouldn't be dismissed outright as fraud is typical. (Hint: InfoWars is garbage through and through)
  24. Did you expect anything else? To his point: There have been billions of vaccines administered throughout the world. A handful (less than a thousand) deaths that can be actually linked to the vax. OTOH, there have been somewhere above 20 million deaths from Covid. Despite what Rhys wants to believe, deaths from Covid in the US have been well above 80% unvaxxed.
