    Motion to rename thread title, because....today is going to be interesting.

    https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html

     

     A regional outbreak of severe weather with multiple strong,
       long-tracked tornadoes, as well as very large hail and severe
       thunderstorm gusts, is expected over parts of the south-central
       Plains from this afternoon through evening.

     

    OK, Southern KS, Red River region...
       Thunderstorms are expected to develop by mid/late afternoon along
       and ahead of the dryline, near the eastern TX Panhandle/western OK
       line or 100W longitude into southern KS, then strengthen quickly to
       severe levels as they move eastward.  Given the already very
       favorable parameter space by late afternoon, and increasingly so
       into early/mid evening, the concern is high for at least a few
       cyclic, tornadic supercells producing multiple significant tornadoes
       along potentially long paths.  The threat for such tornadoes, as
       well as very large/destructive hail, will be maintained well into
       the late evening, and may even increase as hodographs further
       enlarge beneath the LLJ.  Some uncertainty lingers as to how many
       such supercells will track across the outlook area, but given the
       unusually favorable environment and increasing confidence, a "high
       risk" outlook is warranted for areas between roughly the I-40
       corridor in OK and the US-54/500 corridor in southern KS.

    I'll address the "etc." part of the title of this thread.  My wife and I both exercise 6 times a week doing High Intensity Interval Training weight and cardio workouts.  We eat a pretty clean diet, high in protein and try to stay away from simple carbs and processed food.  Both of us have been struggling with weight gain for 25 years.  Even with diet and exercise, we couldn't get back down to a healthy weight/body fat %.  My cardiologist has said I'm "very fit overweight guy."  

    We started Zepbound last month, the weight loss version of the diabetes drug Mounjaro.  Of the current obesity drugs, it is the most effective by a slight margin.  My results have been pretty amazing.  My wife as well.  At $550 a month for each of us it is taking a slight financial toll on us but honestly I can't think of a better thing to spend money on.  While it has a definite physical effect on improving weight loss, the fact that it convinces your brain that you are full on much smaller portions of food and quiets the "food noise" cravings is what makes this so incredible.  

    Problem is that you can't find this or the other obesity drugs anywhere.  My last dose from my previous prescription was friday and I can't source my next 7.5 dose from any pharmacy.  I've had CVS, Walmart, HEB search out to 450 miles away and nothing.  Eli Lilly, the manufacturer, is pumping out the starter dose of 2.5 and it's available, but none of the doses you titrate up to can be found.  I guess they want to maximize profits by getting you started and force you to stay at lower available dose so it slows down your weight loss from and keeps the $550 a month coming in for a longer period of time.  But, the stuff does work.  If you can find it.

    I've heard a lot about these shortages. They'd be stupid not to get this sorted out. If people are willing to spend over $500 per month they are missing out on revenue

    he averaged like 3 new bodies per week.

    To be clear, even back then I thought there was something wrong with him along the lines of sex addiction.

    In person, how else?  If you played your cards right, and with a little luck, you might even get more than one of them naked simultaneously as well.

    By simultaneous I mean simultaneous. I seen guys with multiple monitors up, 8-12 chat windows, sometimes even spreadsheets to keep track of their progress. Not dissimilar to a boiler room.

  5. You really think UT officials would do that? Just go on the media and tell lies?

    UT-Austin says protesters carried guns and assaulted people. Prosecutors haven't seen proof.

    The Travis County attorney hasn’t “seen a single weapons charge or an assault charge” despite school officials’ insinuations of planned violence.

    Despite University of Texas at Austin officials’ claims about weapons and assaults at the recent campus protests, Travis County Attorney Delia Garza says her office hasn't seen a single charge.

    UT-Austin said Tuesday night that pro-Palestinian groups with ties to "escalating protests" across the country brought weapons and assaulted people during the rallies.

    On Wednesday, Garza told KUT the university's statement — and its insistence that demonstrators had "guns, buckets of large rocks, bricks, steel-enforced wood planks, mallets and chains" — was "interesting."

    “It’s concerning … we work in the world of evidence and facts, and we have not seen a single weapons charge or an assault charge," she said.

    Garza, whose office prosecutes misdemeanors, said she has called on UT Austin to reexamine its policy of arresting protesters for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor similar to loitering — because it is currently "unsustainable." The protests have led to nearly 140 arrests for misdemeanors.

    People are legally allowed to carry a weapon on the UT-Austin campus. However, if they're committing a crime, like criminal trespassing, they could be arrested for unlawful carrying of a weapon, a misdemeanor.

    Garza said after reading UT-Austin's statement Tuesday, she expected to see some of that reflected in arrest affidavits from the University of Texas Police Department, the arresting agency. She didn't.

    "I don't know why they are saying that," she said.

    "I don't know why they are saying that," she said.

    Garza said, on average, her office handles around 85 misdemeanors a day. While she respects the university's right to keep campus safe, she said, the caseload is straining her staff.

    “There’s just a lot that goes into processing every single one of those cases and rightfully so — there needs to be a good, strict process when you’re taking people’s liberty away," she said. "[But] it slows down everything … when you have so many at the same time.”

    Students organizers told KUT on Wednesday they had consented to searches Monday ahead of demonstrations and that the university's insistence that they have carried weapons is "not happening."

    "We're complying and letting [police] know that we don't have anything, and they're free to look through it," said an organizer who didn't feel comfortable giving his name in light of arrests.

    The university has not backed down from claims that demonstrators have weapons and are from "outside the community." It said the majority of those arrested don't have ties to the school.

    The university hasn't offered proof of that statement, and arrest records to confirm that weren't publicly available as of Thursday.

    Another on-campus demonstration is planned for Sunday.

    Disclosure: University of Texas at Austin has been a financial supporter of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that is funded in part by donations from members, foundations and corporate sponsors. Financial supporters play no role in the Tribune's journalism.

    We had a party line when I was a teenager.  Finally got a dedicated line senior year.  I think back on those years of basically never using a phone fondly these days.  It created zero impediments to hooking up, you just had to get out and go somewhere.

    Internet makes it possible to talk to multiple women simultaneously.

    claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

    Lots of weasel words in this.

    I just read the bill. It’s a bit confusing, because it’s short and mainly references other laws and sources. But as far as I can tell, it does not “criminalize” antisemitism. Instead, it clarifies the definition of antisemitism to be applied by the Department of Education in claims of discrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. And, yes, that definition (which is defined by reference to an outside source) is quite broad and includes the list of items quoted above.  

    So it means you can get sued for opposing Israel's genocide?

    That’s the guy above. 
     

    I don’t know if he had bad intentions, or if he carries daily.  
     

    also didn’t investigate if he’s an employee.  
     

    he didn’t shoot anyone, thankfully. 

    I still don't see what's wrong with exercising 2nd amendment rights. Or are those only for white people?
