Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
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...

Re: Chauvin Verdict
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...

Re: Chauvin Verdict
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...

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?

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
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...

Re: You can't take it with you...
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...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
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/...

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%.

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!)

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.

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...
