  1. Fun show ... worth it for the little sister. Hispanic American Netflix show about a brother framed for his sister's death by a Hispanic American family and the brother's revenge after being released after 18 years in prison.

    With all due respect, you enjoy espousing the virtues of logic, data, and the scientific process, but you can't even discern the difference between the introduction on why a study is taking place and the conclusions of the study. Don't think your not so subtle retreat from that conversation went unnoticed. A simple mea culpa would have sufficed. 

    To what data do you refer? I was pointing out the flaw in his analogy, not discussing actual aircraft incidents. 

    As I mentioned above, while you love referencing "data," you have neither the experience nor the intellectual curiosity to actually understand any of the complicated phenomenon you discuss on this forum. And I'm sad for you because of that. 

    I told you sweetheart, I am not on the market. But I am flattered. You're 90s BBS debating skills are both intriguing for their stupidity and alluring for their naivety.

  3. And why anyone with a triple-digit IQ (and not monetizing "social justice") just laughs at the emotional white people crying for "social justice." You stupid fucks are being hussled ... and you deserve it.

    Patrisse Khan-Cullors, the self-described Marxist leader of Black Lives Matter, raked in upwards of $20,000 a month as the chairwoman of a jail reform initiative, according to reports on Wednesday.

    Reform LA Jails paid Cullors’ consulting firm, Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, a total of $191,000 in 2019, according to campaign finance data cited by Fox News and The Daily Caller. 

    Cullors, who is listed as “principal officer” and “business owner” on the payments, started the firm with her spouse and BLM co-founder Janaya Khan.

    The reports came as the 37-year-old activist faced criticism over a real estate spending spree — in which she snagged four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone.

    Cullors, who recently bought a $1.4 million home in an exclusive LA neighborhood where the vast majority of residents are white, pushed back in a lengthy post on Instagram.

    “This movement began as, and will always remain, a love letter to black people. Three words: Black Lives Matter, serve as a reminder to Black people that we are human and deserve to live vibrant and full lives,” she wrote on Instagram.

    “I’ve worked multiple jobs across many organizations my entire life. I’m also a published author, writer, producer, professor, public speaker, and performance artist. I love my work in all of these areas and I work hard to provide for my family,” she continued.

    No, it isn't. Now, if Boeing sold planes that had a higher likelihood of being defective to Malaysian airlines, but your analogy would be on point. But sure, keep thinking your sophistry is clever. 

    As usual the data doesn't lineup with your stupidity.

    Can you cite where we deem every police shooting as a bad shoot? Some are good shoots. Plenty are, actually. That was one of them. She was continuing to try to enter a secure area with hostile intent after being warned. She wasn’t running away. She wasn’t just disobeying a command. She was coming AT the cops and an area they had to defend. All of that said....there were several other instances in that attack where the cops absolutely could have fired and it would have been a good shoot....but they exercised some serious-ass restraint.

    Anyone comes at a cop with hostile intent where they are defending a secure area may well get shot. Come AT a cop with a deadly weapon, including a car, and you might get shot. Come at the cops with a gun, you will likely get shot. We usually don’t criticize those shootings...because they aren’t bad shootings.

    We don’t criticize cops for arresting someone for a warrant. We don’t criticize them for taking down someone busy attacking a victim, etc etc.

    So you believe the Michael Brown shooting was completely justified? Jacob Blake? Breonna Taylor?

    If Malaysian airplanes crashed at a materially higher rate than other airplanes....might you have some particular concerns about what’s happening with Malaysian planes?

    Goddamn, I cannot believe we’re still having this argument - the evidence is overwhelming. Black men are pulled over, detained, etc, at a disproportionately higher rate than whites. And every extra encounter is an extra chance for shit to go south. That’s a problem.

    It's almost if you head is in the sand about crime rates ... there are days I actually think you've convinced yourself the biggest danger to black men is cops.

    Did anyone answer where the national outrage is about Ashli Babbitt's murderer and why he hasn't been charged with murder? I missed the list of cities that burned, looteed, and murdered in response.

    Is it wrong that I have fantasies about her coming home, kicking off her shoes, curled up on the couch sipping on a glass of wine, and telling me about all the dipshits she's destroyed during the day?

    While I agree, they are boxed in.  I would have personally probably argued for a pause among women under 50 and continued rolling along in the rest of folks.  But given the amount of mRNA shots available, and some unanticipated ramp up of delivery from PFE I don't think that a 7-10 pause to let the data run out is that big of a deal.  I don't think that we will have a fundamentally different picture in 10 days from what we have now, but I don't think that it will be the end of the world. There is more at stake than just counting event rates here. 

    That would imply we had "experts" with an ounce on sense. I would agree with you except the one shot is a win - of course a smarter approach likely would have been doing one shot of the Moderna and Pfizer to as many as possible and then moving to shot #2 with an exception for the vulnerable populations.

    Great discussion.  Now do Ashli Babbitt and explain why she should be dead and also why the LEO trigger puller faces no charges.

    Do we get to Say Her Name?

    Got to normalize to person-time based exposure. Let's just assume 1 month average duration of follow-up person time which is probably an overestimate, so only about a 30% reduction vs. upper end of the background rate or a 3-fold increase from the low end estimate, back of the envelope math gets me to ~11 cases per 1MM person years of exposure to JNJ.  I am sure that the JNJ numbers are undercounts at the moment, but if you take them for what they are worth, I think that's the math. 

    I had previously shared with a friend I was holding out for the J&J vaccine for a few different reasons and whether this changed my mind. My response is no because again it only affected women and still IIRC 0.00000087% rate. That being said, I was thinking about how to calculate my risk of catching rona today ... not sure how to think about the coefficient. The mortality rate is an easy calculation (if you do not adjust for risk factors, which is an assumption) but not sure I have the tools to adjust for risk of catching it - is it as simply as applying current, local infection rates? This number keeps declining, which of course is a good thing.

  13. Great older story on pizza man and his charity work ...

    https://www.dallasobserver.com/restaurants/planos-in-fretta-restaurant-providing-meals-to-those-who-cant-afford-to-eat-11748308

    ducation, shelter, clothing and food are all basic necessities, but many North Texas residents are short of at least one of those things.

    According to the North Texas Food Bank, 17.6% of Dallas County residents and 11.5% of Collin County residents are food insecure. While there is no way to feed every food insecure person in these counties, a Plano restaurant owner has created a solution to help feed people experiencing homelessness, or who are short on money.

    At In Fretta Urban Pizza Bar, guests who are food insecure may ask for a few free slices of pizza and a cup of ice water. The team prepares food for the guests and treats them as they would any paying customer.

    “I believe in giving back,” says In Fretta owner Ram Mehta. “I’m a Sikh. In my religion, feeding the hungry is the best thing you can do. My dad owns a big school in New Delhi, and 25% of the kids are poor, and they aren’t charged any fees. Education and food are basic necessities. I’m just doing my part.”

    Before opening In Fretta, Mehta worked in information technology. However, he always had a passion for Italian food, specifically, the heavy, hearty kind popularized in New York City.

    “I used to go to Little Italy in New York,” Mehta says. “I felt that what was missing in Dallas was authentic New York pizza.”

    Mehta grew tired of working in IT, and eventually decided to open In Fretta.

    “I got my main chef from New York, and I told him that my only requirement is that I want it to taste just like New York pizza,” Mehta says. “I want the best ingredients, and everything needs to be made from scratch.”

    Almost everything at In Fretta is made in-house, from the pizza dough to the sauces and pastas. The sauces for the Korean wings are imported from Korea and made specifically for In Fretta.

    In addition to helping feed hungry people in his restaurant, Mehta and his team also regularly volunteer at homeless shelters.

    “Just last week, we went to a homeless shelter on MLK Boulevard in Dallas,” Mehta says. “We fed over 100 homeless people. This makes me feel good. Everybody lives for themselves. What’s the point of having a couple thousand dollars on hand and not feeding someone who actually needs it? Food is a basic human necessity. If we can’t even do our parts and feed people, then what’s the point of living?”

    Mehta also wants to help feed people with dietary restrictions. For those with food allergies or restrictions of any sort, Mehta requests they call and give him at least 24 hours notice. He and his team will then make diet-specific foods for them.

    “I am willing to go out and buy specific kinds of flour so people with dietary restrictions can eat here,” Mehta says. “It makes no sense to me when parents come in with their kids, and their kids aren’t eating anything while they watch their parents eat. It takes us five to 10 extra minutes to make food based on their specifications. I want everyone who comes into the restaurant to feel satisfied.”

    While Mehta commits seemingly endless acts of servitude, he insists this is what he lives for.

    “I’m not doing these people a favor; they’re doing me a favor,” Mehta says. “This is what helps me sleep at night.”

    In Fretta Urban Pizza Bar, 5588 State Highway 121, #300, Plano. Open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday; noon-9 p.m. Sunday.

    This is some friendly fire if I ever seen it.

    https://keyt.com/health/2021/04/13/cops-say-asian-man-attacked-asian-woman-thinking-she-was-white/

     IRVINE, California (KCAL KCBS) — A Lake Forest man faces a hate crime charge after allegedly kidnapping an Asian woman, believing she was white, with the intent to sexually assault her.

    Michael Sangbong Rhee, 37, was arrested Thursday night at his home in Lake Forest. Irvine police say Rhee may have attacked a woman, believing she was white, in retaliation for the rise in hate crimes against Asian people.

     

    Irvine police say an Asian woman was sitting in the driver’s seat of her car near her apartment Thursday afternoon when she looked up to see Rhee standing at the door, holding a handgun. She told police she did not recognize Rhee, who ordered her to get into the back of her car if she wanted to live.

    The woman said she offered Rhee her wallet and money, and he replied they would “do that later,” before getting into her car through the passenger side door and pushed her into the backseat, according to police. She struggled with Rhee, who she told police began to grope her, then yelled to a maintenance worker nearby that he had a gun.

    Police say Rhee got out of the car and ran through the apartment community, driving away in his own car. Surveillance cameras captured his license plate as he drove away, according to police.

     

    A search of Rhee’s home turned up the vehicle linking him to the assault and a BB gun similar to the weapon described by the woman, Irvine police said.

    Was he hoping to give her the Kung Flu?

  15. https://www.fox4news.com/news/struggling-food-truck-owner-finds-ally-in-hungry-plano-pizza-shop-owner?fbclid=IwAR1LlLC1bxEfgDDmwJlsGX8ejaILYhoDNAc5K6RjUcXZ87wtqEPRLY9pbkw

     

    PLANO, Texas - A woman who opened her restaurant in the middle of the pandemic at times did not know how she was going to make it work. Another business owner reached out to help.

    Juline Mathe took a leap of faith and started a business during the pandemic.

    FOX 4 interviewed her about the new restaurant, Renee’s Jerk Chicken, in November.

    "I actually come from a family of chefs born and raised in Jamaica," she said.

    The Frisco mother left her career as a flight attendant hoping to fulfill a dream and protect her daughter, who is considered high-risk because of an underlying health condition.

    "So for probably a solid month and a half we were doing amazing. And then all of a sudden it just got dead," Mathe said.

    People loved her food but she ran into roadblocks struggling to find places to park her food truck.

    "Our chicken is cooked on-site so it’s not like it’s something we can reuse. I was losing so much money," she said.

    A pizza shop owner in Plano with a craving for Jamaican food saw Mathe’s story on FOX 4 and called her up.

    But what he found was a woman on the verge of giving up.

    "I called her and said, ‘Hey, what are your hours? I want to buy some of the food.’ And she was very depressed. And she said well we don’t have a spot or whatever," said Ram Mehta, the owner of In-Fretta Pizza and Wings.

    Mehta knew he could help her.

    "I texted her and said, ‘Hey if I can be of any help. You can just park right across from my restaurant," he said.

    "So wait a minute. You own a restaurant and you want me to bring my mobile restaurant and park in front of your business? Okay, what’s it going to cost me? And he’s like, ‘Nothing. Just come bring your truck, sell your chicken. You know, I just want you to win,’" Mathe said.

    Once homeless, Mehta knows hardships.

    The now successful business owner started a movement called Everyone Eatz, which organizes free food giveaways. It’s a result of a promise to his late mother and a vow to always give back.

    "He’s just been amazing. I call him my fairy godfather," Mathe said.

    "No! I’m from New York. No fairy godfather. The queens!" Mehta joked.

    The two are now committed to working together.

    Renee’s Jerk Chicken sells out regularly and the Everyone Eatz initiative grows bigger with each passing day.

    This past Saturday marked more than half a million meals handed out by the organization.
