Psychic: Why don’t you come in for a reading?

Me: Shouldn’t you already know the answer to that?

That sounds very nice. I’m honestly jealous. However, there were 408 mass shootings in the USA last year. That’s more than 110 people shot per day. While I in no way support the policies of the police in the USA, I do have to admit that given the likelihood that the residents of any particular home might be armed, I personally would not want to be a lightly armed and unarmored cop knocking on a door here. I mean, people here have literally been shot just for knocking or ringing a doorbell.

While all cops are indeed bastards, many of the other people in this country aren’t any better. The left end of the bell curve in this country is very heavily armed and doing their part to help police turn the nation into the war zone they think it already is. Until common sense gun laws are passed and the dumbest and most violent among us are disarmed, it’s not going to change for the better.

Who’s going to push the button ?

I suspect there will be a line.

This is the USA. Locking someone up may well be a cruel punishment, but it is by no means unusual.

Add him to the list… 61 pages and counting.

From the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. Ratified by the Senate which had just recently approved the Bill of Rights, and signed by President John Adams.

“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religious or tranquility of Musselmen, and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

Musk’s claims include breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment.

Seriously. A billionaire is accusing another billionaire of unjust enrichment ? Every billionaire ever is by definition guilty of unjust enrichment. There’s simply no other way to become a billionaire.

The company, which is aiming to build the world’s first fusion power plant, does not generate any revenue but has been valued in the private market at $5.4 billion.

This is honestly insane. A company that produces nothing and is almost certainly a scam is valued at $5.4 billion? Valued by whom?

Per the article, this won’t help young people’s muscles. Young muscle tissue is not deficient in palmitate and oleate so supplementing them wouldn’t help.

I think it pretty much did, though perhaps the article has been updated since you posted.

Eatherly, 28, turned his body “in a bladed stance” toward Fox and reached for a firearm in his jacket pocket, after which a “physical altercation” happened, the warrant said. Eatherly fired his weapon and Fox was struck multiple times, according to the document.

The physical altercation occurred after Eatherly settled into a fighting stance and grabbed the gun in his pocket. It seems like that was be the provocation for the physical fight. Even with it being Tennessee, and Fox being black, it seems unlikely that a jury will find that Fox provoked the altercation verbally and justified Eatherly using lethal force.

I really love Killgrave as portrayed by David Tennant in season 1 of Jessica Jones. A completely amoral hedonist with the power of absolute mind control over anyone he speaks to. He is absolutely terrifying.

Six freaking hours and nobody stepped up?! Fine, I’ll do it.

Yes, it might be awful, but stop calling them Shirley.

That is rig-proof, bloodbath territory if it holds until November, and there’s nothing to suggest it won’t

Have you met the Democratic party? Grabbing one spectacular defeat after another from the jaws of victory is what they do.

I want Smarter Glasses. I’m thinking something like the smart glasses, but it only uses it’s camera to locate and highlight other camera lenses. It then activates an infrared laser that the wearer can focus on the other lens to discreetly blind it.

You don’t think a proper grooming could fix his nostrils so they match perfectly?

Oh, they’ll still be illegals. This is likely Donald’s plan. Take Venezuela at the 51st state and then deport everyone living there now. It’s the only way he’ll ever reach ICE’s deportation goals. You don’t really think he’d let all those Venezuelans become citizens, do you?

Someone needs to look into this person’s finances. It sure seems like she has a vested interest in letting these criminals get away with this. Almost like she was being paid to do so.

He seems delightfully woke to me.

No, no… It’s not like a normal person who might get caught stealing a loaf of bread or something. That person obviously would have to go to jail. But this is a business, you see. They got caught stealing $150,000 worth of water so they just had to pay the regular price for it and now everyone is happy now.

Herd immunity and natural immunity are not the same thing. Natural immunity is when you are inherently immune to a pathogen due to your genetic heritage. Herd Immunity is what you have when a large enough percentage of the herd are immune to a pathogen either naturally or due to vaccination.

For example, If 95% of the herd is vaccinated or otherwise immune to a disease, the herd is effectively immune because the non-immune individuals in the herd are surrounded by immune individuals. They are are therefore highly unlikely to be exposed to the pathogen in the first place.
