Eh, I dunno, some medical professionals say some stupid stuff sometimes IMO. I have no credentials whatsoever, but I still call BS on stuff like Trump being the healthiest man alive and Oxycodone and tobacco being not addictive.  Pretty much everything Freud said, LoL.  The pyramids being used to store grain...  That…

I think that a more appropriate analogy is aeronaut, which is what they used to call people who flew on planes, until it became so common that the word fell out of use.  I think changing the definition to annoy Bezos seems kind of petty, even though I think Bezos flying dick is ridiculous.

Hmm.  Well they need to figure it out, but I'm not sold on a technology yet.  It might help to design the batteries with recycling in mind, but it is above my pay grade.

Although I think that I read one of the old books on reading entrails, Vitruvius I IRC and apparently if they wanted to found a town they would raise a goat there and examine its entrails, if it looked sickly they would assume that there was something wrong with the water or something.  I don't know how well it…

Are they a totally different product? Flavored syrup would be my guess. And mix it with tequila, and it probably tastes like tequila with flavored syrup.

I feel like they are almost definitionally in a gang.  They seem like a violent gang of dognappers to me, gangs don't have to be huge.  Criminal justice in LA probably has its issues, but I don't think that this is the hill to take a stand.

Eh, ya, they aren’t bad for being friends, they are both affable and well mannered. But they are bad for being bad presidents, war criminals and incompetent leaders. I would be friends with either one of them but that doesn’t mean that I am not mad. The main problems of our time are climate and income inequality and…

Nothing wrong with a couple of chest freezers.  Especially if you forage or something, I have one that's pretty much all corn and ramps.

Well, unfortunately for my anger levels, my reading on the subject has led me to conclude that they saw(at least some of) the downsides, but saw that they would mostly hit minorities, and preferred them to integration...

Ha, I thought murder porn was in style these days, or do you not mean “My Favorite Murder” and their ilk... Sigh, I looked and I guess it was in style in 2018...

Good job sticking up for yourself.  Best wishes.

Sounds about right, three weeks sounds a bit optimistic, but they seem to be pretty well prepared.  And showing concern.  I liked it.

Cough, Broaddrick, cough, Weinstein &co. Still I don’t know about this Biden stuff.

Damn.

I don’t see the argument for not paying the guy, that doesn’t sound like gouging to me, and I’m usually ok with a certain level of gouging. This is going to be a big enough mess as it is without going all Stalinist for no reason. If the government needs your stuff it can take it, but it shouldn’t get it for free. Are…

Heh.  Although predators aren't all big and tough, parasites and diseases predate also.

I think that inbreeding is likely to make birth defects much more probable, but it likely won't kill them off.  To my understanding it can even kind of "clean up" a gene pool by eliminating some of the bad recessive gene carriers.

Although I think actually Sean Penn turned out to be instrumental in catching El Chapo... For better or worse, I'm not convinced he was any worse than the rest of the drug Lord's, or the ones that took his place...

A UBI.  But that's fair, and there is no grift in fair, so we will see what happens.

Knew when to run...
