I never understood the infatuation with a slim wheel. As a man with monkey hands, I need that CHONK to help me out. Otherwise I feel like I’m gonna brake the wheel in half.

...because the police will always side with a Black person over the US armed-forces member who’s yelling at him? 

I grew up in a military town, and every single military person I knew was an aggressive, racist, sexist, violent asshole in some way or another, just like this guy. For the US Military, that’s a feature, not a bug. 

oh for sure. Where he fucked up is he attacked a civilian and its on video. This fucker has probably been harassing black recruits for years and getting away with it under the cover of his job but embarrassing the Army publicly? He’s fucked. 

Commanding Brig. Gen. Milford H. Beagle Jr., tweeted that Pentland’s behavior was “by no means condoned by any service member,”

While I’m normally all about the gendered biases in medicine, this articles seems a little excessive, given that we are learning, literally in real time, about both the coronavirus and Covid, and the vaccines.

Fine. But how is Toyota’s salsa supply? 

I got my J&J shot yesterday around noon. Me between 8 PM and midnight:

This is why we don’t send dogs into space - their faces get burnt up on reentry.

Except the chance for the virus to mutate in a way that will eventually overcome the vaccines’ protection is higher the more mutations are happening - which is a direct function of the number of replications, which are a direct function of both vax rate and protective measures people take (or don’t take). So the…

Actually, nope, doesn’t quite work like that. Mutation occurs every time the virus replicates. The more people get infected, and the more those people’s bodies allow the virus to replicate, the more replications, and thus the more opportunities for mutation. And the higher the share of the population that’s…
