  1. I think theres been a small cultural shift just in my lifetime. We used to play "cowboys and indians" and run around the blocks with cap guns literally having play gunfights. Now you never see kids playing like that (including mine) and I dont know if you can even buy a cap gun nowadays. Meaning, the culture of "playing guns" has changed from my perspective.
  2. Thats amazing! Handcuffs are hard to get out of. EDIT: Did she leave the rest of the rest of the kids in the classroom?
  3. Ray Liotta.
  4. ^Waaaay back in the day, my parents used to take me to Lion Country Safari Drive-Through Safari & Adventure Park | Lion Country Safari which is a "cageless" zoo that you drive your car through to see the animals. Otherwise I could never see myself vacationing to SA. I dont like being in the wilderness, and of course, the ever present threat of machete attack.
  5. Giant Magnetic Waves Have Been Discovered Oscillating Around Earth's Core (sciencealert.com)
  6. But dont people eat cheeseburgers and ice-cream because they are too poor and cant afford to make a decent meal? I mean, you can get 5 cans of porn-n-beans and feed everyone in your house for the same price as a single Whopper, but math is hard so I probably dont understand how that works other than "its not their fault". Or maybe when you factor in the price of the cooking pot and natural gas then it skyrockets in cost? I dunno, but it sounds like something UBI would eradicate overnight.
  7. Coronavirus vaccines may not prevent many symptoms of long covid, study suggests - The Washington Post Ruh Roh.
  8. Starlink's expansion, military ambitions alert world - China Military I didnt know the DoD had its fingers in Starlink. Excellent.
  9. Speaking of candy related obesity, Im 74" (187.96 cm) and I recently porked up to 219 Lbs. (99.3367 kilo) and it was all due to my love affair with gummies and chocolate. Ive managed to drop 5 pounds (2.26796 kilo) by regulating my intake but I feel and look best at my fighting weight around 209 Lbs. (94.8008 kilo (heh the end of that number is boob)). Ill probably never be able to get over this hump without cash money. :sadface:
  10. Actually, muscle weights more than fat. Back to square one again I guess. It seems that all human failings circle back to lack of money, not the individual...obesity, illness (mental and physical), homelessness, lack of education, addiction, crime, etc. The only realistic solution is to throw money at it. Id really like if the UBI and UHC could start with me and my generation so I dont fall into any of the previously mentioned pitfalls of life. You dont want me to have a crack addiction do you?
  11. Well would you look at that, when the Flying Spaghetti Monster closes one door, it opens a window: New Antiobesity Drugs Help People Shed Dozens of Pounds, but They Must Be Taken for a Lifetime - Scientific American
  12. Hasnt our thinktank established that no amount of physical exercise will result in weight loss?

  15. Im not at all surprised by those two comments, or the posters behind them.
