future generations will have giant advances with either mRNA or CRISPR (or whatever) in improved health outcomes. Yes, this would be modifying your body in an unnatural way but I also don’t think that my LASIK surgery was natural. as someone approaching older age too rapidly, I’m hoping for quick research or even opening up availability into studies.

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
Nice Guy Eddie replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
Weiss: “One of the most alarming things about Charlie’s murder was about how people reacted to it.” I would think that the murder itself would be #1 alarming aspect and there’s not a close second worth listing. -
There are a fair amount of expenses that you can use for future HSA tax free withdrawals. OTC meds, prescription, doctor payments, etc. Even mileage to the doctor's office and home are reimbursable.

Vaccines hits people differently. The COVID vaccine knocks me down for 3 days, flu shot gives me flu like symptoms, and the shingles vaccine had zero symptoms not even arm pain. I've heard from others that the COVID vaccine does nothing to them, but that the shingles vaccine made them consider a ER visit it was so bad. Who knows. Actually getting shingles sounds to be very painful. I personally know 2 seniors who have extensive scarring on their face from shingles, and were worried about losing their sight.

Trumps War on drugs, Venezuela and Colombia
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Wally Fairway's topic in Cloak Room
Funny how we've never stopped one Russian oil tanker in over 5 years of sanctions. Now we're confiscating Venezuelan tankers out of the blue. -
Interesting UK study that showed the shingles vaccine may protect someone from (some) cognitive decline. https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/link-between-shingles-vaccine-and-slowed-dementia-is-promising-says-expert/ the study author admits that there could be a study bias in that someone who seeks out the vaccine may overall be healthier when compared to the general public. For the control group who did not have the vaccine, it was not necessarily their choice but rather they didn’t meet the eligibility for the vaccine. UK socialized medicine. Therefore this isn’t necessarily vaxxers vs anti-vaxxers. And for anyone here 50+ who hasn’t had the shingles vaccine, ask someone who had an episode of shingles for their view. Shingles and its vaccine is not like skipping the flu shot and getting the flu. As a warning, I know some have bad reactions to the shingles vaccine. I was lucky to avoid it.

I check out TexAgs political board from time to time. I’ve noticed a distinctive shift in support of Trump’s economic policies presumably due to the lack of positive results. Don’t get me wrong, these are still hardcore Trumpists and would never vote Dem but even they know Trump is lying at saying his economy is A++++. When TexAgs are openly criticizing Trump, this tells me the GOP is in trouble next November unless something changes fast. And it never changes that fast in a positive direction.

Is the idea about not funding ACA subsidies just a method for the GOP to kill the entire program by making it as expensive as possible? Even to the detriment of people forgoing healthcare or having to go deep in debt if they're unfortunate to get sick.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Don Johnson's topic in Football
I would have guessed that Deion was quietly going to step away from CU in the past week but that didn't happen. I realize that he has a contract thru 2029 so he's not leaving that money on the table but why wouldn't CU orchestrate his departure? It's been a complete failure in terms of CU results and expectations over the past 25+ years. -
In this same manner, I'm going to write up a letter proclaiming how I'm breaking up with Emily Ratajkowski. Alina can't step down from a position that she never legally held!

great point. Trump is a fan of wrestling and would think himself clever to script a heel turn by pardoning a dem politician. Keep Cuellar in his back pocket until he's needed. Perhaps even after the '26 elections.

I'm unsure the billionaires vs you, is the best strategy. I've watched way too many below-the-poverty-line republicans get angry when its suggested that billionaires should pay more in taxes. I think kicking their dog would illicit a more calm response. It's really amazing how blind so many on the right have become to their own self interests.

Yes. Running a centrist gets you a 10 point loss in Texas. Its possible that a progressive could lose by much more, but they at least have the opportunity to win.

Dems need to start insinuating that JD is the real President and Trump is incompetent. Nothing would piss off Trump more if anyone thinks he isn't in charge. While JD would denounce that implication, it would force Trump to start calling out JD as unable to lead. And then the more Trump fights that opinion, start doubling down more. Force an inner WH fight even a one direction fight.

Platner has his military background and blue collar beard look that appeal to some. Talarico can't mimic that. How someone physically looks can count for a large % of their support.
