  1. Pretty sure I'd take acute pain and inflammation over death. I kid, but what was so damning was they they knew pretty quickly how dangerous it was, but they offset this obvious moral hazard with how insanely profitable it was as well, and then were stupid enough to put that down on paper.
  2. Mine stayed recently for THREE WEEKS. My wife is a saint.....
  3. The fact that the US is one of TWO developed countries along with New Zealand that allow such aggressive pharma marketing/commercials is insane. Or why is HALF of the FDA's budget coming from the companies it is supposed to regulate?
  4. Because it's subsidized over there by charging so much more over here.
  5. Watch the doc Cocaine Cowboys and how many banks popped up in S. Florida and how deeply tied they were to the drug trade. It's wild.
  6. It was Merck that got sued over a faulty drug, but in the discovery this exact statement was made. I want to say it was Vioxx? Where they knew early on it was going to mess people up, but the profits from the drug would outweigh the penalties. They ran with it, tens of thousands of people died, they got sued, but yes, the profits did in fact outweigh the lawsuit amounts.
  7. The Sackler Family - yes, evil fucks. May they forever rot in hell. The entire opiod crisis. Fuck every last one of them involved. J&J's 2022 $26 billion settlement GlaxoSmithKline Pfizer J&J again in 2013 All predicated on lying, submitting false claims, failing to report safety issues, misbranding, doctor kickbacks, and overall fuckery that killed and/or ruined millions of lives.
  8. Would have been better if you had a handful of blue pills and said Mrs Brat, i'm coming for dat ass!
  9. This is a little on the nose. Let's not conflate actuarial tables to Auschwitz. It's all based upon risk assessment and ROI. Not defending these fucks, but they've been able to conflate the processes and compartmentalize everything so much that very few individuals are making these decisions. In the vein of keeping this as simplistic as we can, it "seems" the entire healthcare system is designed to keep you alive for as long as possible, but in a diminished capacity. Pills for this, but not for that. A hundred different "specialists" that used to just get taken care of by your family doctor most of the time. I have to see this guy before I see that guy, to get this covered before I do that. It's fucked. I don't know who is actually at the top, pulling the strings - but the entire system is a giant self-licking ice cream cone.
  10. Yep, a targeted and specific attack on a person representative of a larger, corporate threat. This is Fight Club shit.
  11. Please don't HALO this. The script is there. The story is there. Just make it cool and awesome and don't try to get cute.
  12. I hear Duke has a recent opening....;)
  13. Assuming it's the 4-cylinder? 4x2? Bulletproof little trucks
  14. Great find, seriously. Good deals on Tacos are rare as rooster lips
  15. 100%, I'd say THE best, but I'm hungover from a vendor function and can't think of any others....
  16. They adapted, leaned on their defense, run-game, and Mahomes making plays with his legs. Kelsey is still a HOF TE, even if he's long in the tooth. That's the point. They are good enough to change how they attack other defenses.
  17. Yep. If only we had a mobile QB that could make plays if/when they break down with his legs. This is why QE has regressed. Happened last year when Brooks went down. Teams sell out to stop the run, disguise their coverages, and dare QE to beat them. Same as this year. Hell, if QE would just step up and into the pocket and possibly run for 3-4 yards it completely changes things.
  18. For what, your fantasy football league? They have one of the best defenses in the league, hosses on the O-line, especially the interior. Pacheco runs mad as hell, and their receiver corps over the years on the SB teams have been great. Everyone uses the same excuse they did with Brady - that he was superman surrounded by a bunch of spares.
  19. Let's also not think that Sark is the only one clutching to their starting QB pearls. Kirby HAD to make a switch and it arguably won them the game. Kid's not going to be able to continue to do that with tape out on him, but for that one game, it mattered. I damn sure hope Sark is working on formations and schemes that utilize both Arch and QE. Ewers is more experienced and it better at intermediate routes. Arch is bigger/faster, can run, is inexperienced, and throws a better deep ball. At the very least, use him like Tebow before he took over the starting job.
