Whoa, some old names in this thread. As to your topic, to legally purchase a weapon, I think we need to incorporate some kind of psychological exam. But theres no realistic way to comb someone social media posts. Of course that does nothing to control the sales of illegal guns but its a start.

That would definitely expedite things around here. But seriously, Illinois comes in at 26.41% of the population being fully vaccinated.

Walter Mondale.

^Gatekeeping? Do those countries require a person to show their vaccination card before being admitted into a public place? The US doesnt.

Sony Reverses Course, Will Continue Selling PS3 and Vita Games After All.

Since the goalposts have shifted from a "simple checkup" to trying to purchase IIlludium PU-36 to treat dear old gramgram's Nth stage cancer, then I can get on board this sentiment. Its a graphic example that illustrates the clear need for UHC. I for one am tired of our birthrights being trampled by the fatcats.

NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity takes off on historic 1st powered flight on another world.

Sick people are infinitely more expensive than healthy people. True story.

This made me curious so I looked up the PS3, which was released in 2006. Can it be assumed that this battery has at least a 15 year lifespan? So the PS5 would be looking at potential failure ~2036?

Oh thank the flying spaghetti monster! Terrible law. Maybe now I can get some sweet sweet UHC up in here.

Gather round yall because Im about to blow your minds. Not only do you get an annual free panoramic x-ray from but you also get a free annual cleaning! But wait for it...wait for it.......our medial insurance provides one free annual checkup and our vision insurance includes one free annual eye exam. KAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM GOES YOUR BRAIN! You may now be asking yourself, "is it true? Does pharmabro really want to cradle my head to his warm chest and make coo-ing noises?" No. Pharmabro does this because it is in its own best interest to provide free preventative maintenance to its policy holders to try to catch things early. But to go back to your earlier "lack of understanding": a) All US residents must have insurance. Its the law. b) All insurance plans have a "copay". Its usually around fiddy bucks, not in fact a months pay. c) And this part is absolutely crucial, when attending any one of these checkups, the doctor will ask you "how you feel", and you should tell them. See, unlike European doctors, US doctors have not yet achieved the ability to diagnose mental conditions at a glance. They will require you to tell them "doc, they wont let me bring my emotional support donkey into the office, and now I has the upset-sies". Maybe one day we will also achieve nirvana, but until then you have to show up, pay $50, and talk to the doctors.

^Considering that both of those sentences are patently false, its a good thing were in the funny thread so I can point and laugh at the ignorance lack of understanding.

I dunno. If a civilization is still dirt farming after 5k years then maybe they need to adjust their "culture" a bit. Which makes me think about Africa...why is the cradle of life still one of the most backward locations on Earth? Im convinced theres got to be a Wakanda hiding in there somewhere.

That was fun to watch: 1) Throttle: Set to 11 2) Brake: Removed from the motorcycle 3) Use of two wheels: Optional

The pilot on your water heater uses a push button igniter (do you hear a click when you push it), like a gas BBQ grill, right? So no electricity necessary.

Eh, 120V wont kill you (unless youre standing in water). Feels like a tickle/vibration in your hand.

Thats been exactly my experience with police too.

I feel like Ive asked you this, and I even searched for the conversation to no avail, but was your house built before ~1972? If you take the wall plate off the microwave plug, do you see copper or aluminum wiring attached to the plugs terminals?

Tesla Owners, Say ‘Open Butthole’ and Get a Little Surprise.

I know, right! I traced my paternal heritage back to 409AD and it turns out we were fabulously wealthy patricians and the invasion changed the entire arc of my family lineage. Imo, the Romanians owe me restitution.

I guess I cant talk too much smack, Im still a little bitter about the Visigoths sacking of Rome back in aught 410AD.

I wonder whats the lifespan of qq-ing about being conquered? Are those that carry Mesopotamian DNA still butthurt about the Assyrian defeat?

I got my first dose yesterday (Moderna) and my wife gets her first dose today. It was a total nothingburger. Theyre giving out doses around here like unregistered handguns and it was ridiculously easy to get an appointment. I was in and out in 20 minutes, and thats with them asking me to hang around for 10 minutes afterwards to make sure I didnt get dizzy.

Somehow my kid finagled an appointment at a local pharmacy on next Tuesday. When I asked how she managed to get an appointment early she said "they gave me the appointment and I didnt ask any questions".

Ive got to eventually start looking into that. I think were still going to try to take a vacation and stimulate Mexico but we dont want to go until we get vaccinated. My state opens up a free-for-all (everyone 16 and up is eligible) on 16 Apr.
