Back in 2012 the evangelicals had a problem with a Mormon. Amazing how it’s changed.

Remember also that prior to the summit he said the police acted stupidly.

With figures no longer part of the competition, I’d like to see jumps be their own event. Line everyone up, either pick a jump at random or run through them all, and go down the line for that jump. Anyone who falls is out, and the last skaters standing win. Then skew scoring in the long program toward the artistic.

Are you aware that most modern handguns on the market are semi-automatic? You can also purchase semi-automatic shotguns. All it means is one round fired per trigger pull.

Even if some miracle happened and I could fit into the clothes, I wouldn’t want them because I think the company leadership is jerky. I’m always on the lookout for other options though. Thanks for the tip.

Which is exactly why I switched to leggings. As a plus sized figure skater sharing ice with women in head to toe Lululemon, I want cute clothes too. I’m too old to still be hiding in high school PE clothes.

I’m an old too and I don’t know when one turned into the other. Something something young people, something something phones.

I splurged on Edea boots for my last pair. They’re too pretty to cover up and I think other manufacturers are following suit.

I was taught to grab the heel of the boot, not the blade. I wore gloves when practicing, which was an extra layer of protection. As a singles skater, my leggings/tights were the biggest casualties. I’d find all kinds of ways to puncture and/or slice them. My hands were pretty ok.

Paradoxically, it’s difficult to conduct research because marijuana is Schedule I, even after the FDA approved Marinol and had other cannabinoid drugs in review. It’s probably too much to hope that the entire Controlled Substances Act is deemed unconstitutional but rescheduling should help. Unscheduling would make it…

The cult of personality is strong. Don’t write off how many people will tie themselves in knots to defend their stable genius. People have been pointing these things out since Trump announced, but his fans are convinced Trump is speaking a language only they can understand and any cognitive dissonance is dismissed as…

Formal nights are dead. On lines that still have them, they’re optional. Business casual is the new formal. I wore jeans most casual nights. My parents swore I’d get thrown out of the dining room for jeans and it never happened because formality is dead.

That was the episode that made me give up watching Voyages in its original run. It wasn’t until I saw episodes on BBCA with Janeway’s short hair and Seven that I gave it another shot.

You aren’t giving them a platform because you think they have something worth hearing. You give them a platform because they’ll expose themselves for who they are and hang themselves with their own words.

I feel your pain. My mom is constantly sending me articles about how I’d magically be cured if I gave up gluten. My dad is one of those people who gets excited about gluten-free bacon. We’re all negative for celiac disease. The reality is that I got the wrong combination of genes.

“we aren’t doing a good job with the socialized programs we have, how the hell do we think we can manage more? “

Open carry = gun in plain sight.  Contrast with concealed carry, which is gun hidden from view. The latter takes a license in most states whereas open carry leaves your cards on the table, so to speak.

Roughly 25% column A, 75% column B

Usually it’s the other way around. Actual conservatives find the alt-right to be of the statist progressive persuasion (read: not conservative). You get called a cuck for not falling in line with the great god king, which is hard to do because that guy’s held every position on every issue. It also extends to not…

There is a lot of debate over the actual threshold for high TSH. The lab has their value, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists has a different one, Internal Medicine doctors are all over the place, and my endocrinologist likes it under 1 mIU/L. It seems extreme but I start getting symptomatic around 2 and…
