Re: Green New Deal

That oil spill was equal in volume to about 1/4 of an Olympic swimming pool. The private sector companies involved are held liable for cleanup and damages for spills they’re responsible for. When EPA employees screwed up and caused a spill 17 times larger and more toxic into the Animas River, no one...

Re: Da Weed Thread

Well, if a non-mentally ill person can suffer paranoia or psychosis from too much THC, then I think that’s worse than hanging your head over a toilet and tossing your cookies.

Re: Da Weed Thread

Point taken about the mentally ill, correlation vs causation,etc. I’d read somewhere else recently about people, not realizing that edible pot products are slow in producing effects, eating too much and being unpleasantly surprised by the results. With that in mind, I read this from the article I li...

Assume weeks of very painful PT after a cast comes off wrist.

Re: Totally random thread

I was watching the tv show “Air Distasters” a couple of weeks ago, and was reminded of one of the two luckiest people I’ve ever known was on that flight. He was obviously the luckiest person I’ve known. Fourteen out of 108 people on the plane died. My acquaintance was seated in an exit row, and was ...

More power to Griner. If it was unfair for her to compete then it also would have been unfair for Wilt to have competed in high school and college in his day. You can’t go by just the exceptions. “According to a 2004 study of medical students and their spouses, the average male in his 20s can out-ju...

“During the pregame introductions, while KU’s hype video was playing, Lightfoot was mouthing along with the words while staring intently up at the video board and swaying from side to side. Larry Brown. Bob Davis. Bill Self. Lightfoot had all of their lines memorized.” http://www2.kusports.com/news/...

An interview with the author. Interesting. 10 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLxFayuLMGA I purchased the book. Fascinating! I’m a little over half way through it, and only up to the 1950s so far. I highly recommend this book. https://www.amazon.com/Negroes-Gun-Black-Tradition-Arms-ebook/d...
