I had no idea how using [barbells] would so much improve my quality of life. It's allowed me to continue to do certain things that I otherwise would have had to cease years ago. And, allowed me to do some things I'd never prior been able to do. One of my uncles in his mid-80s (who never did strengt...

When my turn for questioning came up it was the prosecuting attorney who asked, best I can remember without paraphrasing, "I see that you are a software engineer. So does that mean I will have to show you absolute proof to find the defendant guilty". My answer was "Can you explain what you mean" or...

I looked at my wife and baby tonight, and i don't know if i would have had the courage to hang the jury if i thought he was not guilty. It's basically a death sentence for you and possibly your family. Ditto. I would have never agreed to be on that particular jury in the first place. During the jur...

He slowly murdered the guy, plain and simple [...]

You sound very sure about that. Therefore, I'm assuming you watched and listened to all of the evidence and witness testimony presented by both the prosecution and the defense in Chauvin's trial?

Stopping all Covid testing would be an implicit admission by the medical and public health establishment that “zero Covid” is not an attainable goal — that Covid is now an endemic virus in the human population, just like the flu and the common cold are. I don’t think the establishment is ready to op...

Ideally, when I die of old age I’ll still have some investments left, and I can leave it to family and/or a favorite charity. I would personally find it stressful to try to calculate exact savings and spending amounts so that I have “just enough” to die with exactly $0 in my accounts. Much simpler j...

For some reason, the “Last active” field in the member profiles (where you can see when a member last viewed the forum) seems to be visible in all members’ profiles — including administrators like Xan — except for moderators like dualstow. Which means only administrators would know if dualstow has b...

I probably won't have internet for a few days.

...or a few weeks, apparently.

Here's a lefty magazine's article that says that a lot of what was force fed as "the science" was probably wrong. Imagine that! Someone tell Twitter. Executive summary: You can stop sanitizing surfaces and items, and focus on airborne transmission. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/...

Can you recommend something other than sticks for housing and self defense? Lumber is up another 20% month-over-month.

I guess replace sticks with rocks?

You're correct. The official U3 numbers are around 9% for Vegas. And the official CPI-U is hovering around 2%. I don't know why I thought unemployment is 30% and Inflation is 15%. I think QAnon has gotten to my grocery store, landlord, health insurance company, gas station and gun store. There are ...

Short term fear moves it, long term real rates move it

Sounds pretty similar to how long-term Treasury prices behave.

On the latest Tim Pool IRL show (#262), the guest John Tamny happened to mention that Tim lives in rural Maryland.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA4Sr63f2EM Over 1/3 of San Francisco's population is Asian, and the city has a large number of homeless people, many of whom are afflicted with untreated psychiatric issues. So when a mentally disturbed homeless guy in San Francisco attacks two people who both happe...

What the statistics show, consistently, is that had the overweight and obese population simply lost weight, the vast majority of deaths and serious complications could have been avoided. . . . You can’t even say that ..some of the most unhealthiest people are just chugging along fine with no covid ...

Conclusion: Everyone is fleeing New York?

And D.C. and Hawaii, apparently.

Wow. This escalated quicker than I expected. MICROSOFT WANTS TO 'READ PEOPLE'S BRAIN WAVES' TO MINE CRYPTOCURRENCY https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/microsoft-cryptocurrency-mining-brain-waves-body-data-bitcoin-a9480766.html?amp I posted about that last year.

Those are simply astounding numbers to me! I never thought I was in such a minority. When I next go food shopping (have not yet done so once in 2021!) I'm going to count the adults I see to determine how many fall into which category - overweight / not overweight. The percentage of overweight peopl...

TF, your avatar just reminded me: ZDogg is actually opposed to vaccine passports. He says it would be preferable to just make the vaccine available to as many people as possible and educate them on vaccine effectiveness. ZDogg, freedom advocate! https://youtu.be/6AnxLiS_28Q (skip to 10:25 for the mo...

Let's just say your view of the First Amendment is "expansive." Maybe you should read up on what the freedom of assembly protects before you post stuff about it. It's pretty clear you are clueless. Now now, Kbg, there's no need to let your emotions get the better of you and resort to ad hominem att...

If all cash goes digital, Bazzell has as much concluded that privacy will be dead. I doubt it's so cut and dried. Privacy is a cat-and-mouse game, just like computer security is. In computer security, adversaries and criminals develop increasingly sophisticated methods of digital attack, and people...

Not sure how a vaccine passport violates your ability to freely assemble? Free in this case does not mean conveniently, cheaply or using a conveyance of your choosing. It means you can get together for a political purpose. A passport by definition is a restriction, no doubt. Get a shot, get a passp...

Why are you guys still droning on about this? Get the jab or don't, take the consequences either way. With the vaccine widely available it's a different situation now. If our mask freedom fighters can't get on an airplane, oh well, drive. Can't travel internationally, oh well, the Grand Canyon is s...

Current CDC Director Walensky evidently takes the Private Hudson approach to informing the American people about Covid-19 science.
