Re: Carnivore Diet Experiment

So yesterday I started what I hope to be 30 days of the Carnivore Diet, just to see if all of the health claims from people like Joe Rogan would be true for me too. I definitely need to lose about 50 lbs, cut my addiction to sodas/empty carbs and change my health. Have any of you ever done this die...

Re: Right wing group think

You can call this "group think" if you like, but you'll have to explain why that label doesn't also apply to the left political wing. Left wing would be called " My emotions mean more to me than facts wing" As the left mostly boils their decisions down to Emotions than anything ...

Re: WD40 spilled on silicone

This product is not classified as toxic by established criteria. It is an aspiration hazard. Just don't breath your silicone tray and you will be OK. The oral LD50 indicates WD40 is less toxic than table salt. That’s great news! And bad- not knowing that it was going to spurt out of the can instead...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

I like to have a gauge on the way the avg person thinks about stuff so that I can sort of know what might be coming. Should I prepare for a short shutdown or a long one in this case? But it is hard to know how the majority of people feel on this. Generic polling says that people are in favor of shu...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

If you are a teacher, I don't know what to say, other than I talk with at least some who are fine with the risk, but also hear of others who don't want to risk it. I think a lot has to do with age. My first instinct as a response is that if you don't want to teach anymore, then we'll find someone w...

Re: Now the eagle is a Nazi symbol

My thought is why are the rioters not leaving the basement and burning their money?
With all the virtue signaling going on.
Tear down a Statue is one thing, let them show how committed they are and burn up all of their Washington's,Lincolns,Grants.

I'll ask you this question. We are back in Germany during Nazi Germany times. You are hiding a Jew in your house. The Nazis come to your door and ask you is you are hiding any Jews in your house. You ARE breaking a law. And, if you answer them falsely you are breaking one of the Ten Commandments of...

Re: George Floyd

If the cop was genuinely concerned about Floyd's well being, did he remove his knee? Say a buddy of mine shoots someone through the heart. Fatal shot. But takes one minute to die. I shoot him again in the stomach. I'm free and clear, man! He was going to die anyway! How long was he on the ground un...

Re: John Nolte on CHAZ

He's assuming that CHAZ is sustainable. I think it's a pretty safe assumption that the rosy picture painted in the press is not the reality. As far as I can tell reading between the lines, the place is totally dependent on a combination of handouts and raiding existing supplies and businesses. That...
