    I thought both d8 and d9 were in a gray but legal area, hence why they are purchasable in Texas.

    Question for the experts. I have vestibular migraines and a study was done indicating that d9 might help. Is there a good place where you can buy in Austin in person? Or is it all mail order?
  3. This is one of the most frustrating issues about Trump supporters. Trump added massive government debt, taxed the middle class, implemented tariffs which the republican party has always been against, failed at immigration, failed at healthcare, pretty much failed at everything he tried except tax cuts for really rich people and a few other bits. Trump does nothing for the issues you care about. This is shocking to me. I always saw you as a far left person. Yup. I figured out Rush was a moron right away in the early 1090’s, but it took me a long time to pull my head out of the cult thinking. I turned fully around the time of Obama and became much more knowledgeable. Biggest change was recognizing the propaganda of the right, Fox, etc.
  4. Feel way better now.
  5. I‘m pessimistic. Hope this is wrong. Can’t believe I’m close to Helo. That’s terrible.
  6. I’ve spent multiple posts in the past articulating why Quinn has been better than Arch and why Arch hasn’t yet demonstrated a command of the offense in a way to lead them to the playoffs. However… I’m tired of Quinn underperforming to the standard he ought to be, imo, achieving. If he doesn’t demonstrate substantially better downfield throwing, pocket movement/presence, and decision making, I’m ready to just move on to Arch and live with the growing pains. Quinn has had enough time to figure it out. Either he’s injured or not developing fast enough.
  7. Interesting that stocks that favor Trump are moving with the supposed trends towards a Trump win.
  8. Saw him pitch in the mid 1980’s in the first and only game I’ve ever seen in Dodger stadium. It was pretty sensational.
  9. Rather than argue over each given position you have, there is a bigger question imo. There are probably 50 serious, legitimate reasons why Trump should not be elected: corruption, etc. probably the most damaging reason is the fact that almost his entire administration from his Presidency have publicly stated that he is unfit for office. These are people from HIS OWN TEAM. Also the stealing of top secret documents and purposely actively trying to hide them after discovery. Given the long list of very serious issues about him, why do they not rate high enough in your mind over all of your views on issues to result in a no vote for him? How can you possibly dismiss all of that? It’s mind bottling to me. So far, you’ve ducked the questions I’ve posed.
  10. This thread moves too fast for me to know whether this has been posted already. Good news potentially: https://jasonstanford.substack.com/p/the-big-mistake-polls-are-making?r=d52ws&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true
  11. Several in this thread, myself included, are not liberals. In fact historically I voted more Republican than Democrat. The issue in today’s environment is that people like you and stros have consumed so much disinformation you are completely unaware of what is factual reality and what is propaganda you’ve been fed. The answers in this thread by stros so far indicate someone disconnected from facts. And you haven’t said a word, which probably indicates you are also afraid of being exposed for your nonfactual views. This thread unfortunately is confirming what we all believed, that many/most Trump supporters are just disconnected from facts. When the level of disinformation is limited, I can understand people getting fooled. I’m sure among all of the facts about Trump, there are some things that are embellishments or not accurate. But the extent of the lying, serious crimes, and disinformation is so extreme at this point, every single American ought to be smart enough to be able to sniff out the Trump bs. The only situation where someone would struggle is if they consume propaganda and disinformation all the time: Fox News, Brietbart, Reddit/conservatives, KLBJ, etc. I assume that’s where you guys get your information.
  12. Given that Trump tried to implement a coup, has stolen mountains of top secret information to sell for personal benefit and is a traitor to the US, has sexually assaulted multiple women, and committed countless other illegal acts, it’s surprising to me that you have a warped viewpoint that he shouldn’t be arrested and tried for these crimes. Very bizarre. Do you not understand he committed many crimes?
  13. M having difficulty understanding how you don’t see Jan 6 and trying to steal the election as an extremely serious issue that absolutely demands prosecution. It’s one of the most damaging acts in recent US History. Had Pence actually tried to illegally carry out Trump’s requests it would have been a formal coup. Do you understand that?
  14. Stop negging stros assholes. He’s expressing viewpoints and this thread is supposed to be open for discussion without retribution.
  15. Can you expand on that? Who?
  16. I want to see complete statistics on number of deal bodies found, % declared a murder. Because I can guarantee law enforcement is doing everything in their power to avoid calling a death a murder so that their clearance rate is as large as possible. Fudging stats is one of the reasons crime rates look better.
  17. Voting done. No line this morning. I’m a great American.
  18. I believe a very significant percentage of Trump supporters also believe this. As a thought experiment, I would ask you to step back and think about a “what if” scenario. I’m curious about your thoughts on it. Here is the scenario. We’ve all seen people get fooled by dishonest people. The elderly get scammed. Scientology draws people into their cult and then fleeces them of their money. Bernie Madoff steals people’s life savings. In all of these stories, the people scammed talk about how they didn’t realize that the people were lying to them and that they were dishonest. Now let’s look at Trump. Virtually every word out of his mouth is a lie. That’s been documented extensively. Also documented extensively are multiple convictions, shady dealings with Russia, self enrichment via Saudi Arabia, stealing top secret documents for presumably self enrichment, being deemed unfit for office by his entire administration, etc. Even if you don’t believe some of these facts, there is more than enough evidence out there that he’s a complete liar and grifter. The evidence is just overwhelming. So given this, how can you believe anything he says, much less that he wants to help America? Because it’s obvious to over 50% of this country that he doesn’t. How do you square your view with this? More specifically, you know he lies, so how can you trust anything a liar says? I don’t get it. You aren’t alone. Upwards of 25-30%+ of the country is right there with you (the other 20-30% knows he’s a grifter but want tax cuts or abortions bans, etc). I’m very interested in your thought process on this.

    Getting old sucks

    Before you do that, promise me you will purchase this book and try it. This guy is in many ways the father of modern physical therapy. I struggled with back issues for over 25 years before finding this. Miracle.
  20. Every few weeks I get this urge to understand how the heck anyone could vote for Trump. I then initiate a conversation with someone and within five minutes I realize it’s a complete waste of my time because the Trump supporter is so uninformed about reality and facts that it’s an impossible discussion to have. There have been a few people who’ve said they don’t care about anything Trump says at all, they just want a Republican to win to either keep their taxes low, or to push Christian religion anywhere and everywhere they can. Such fine Americans.
  21. Drove to the voting place and promptly turned around and left. Will try again later this week.
  22. I’m a bit skeptical as well. I went ahead and built my bond ladder when rates were at 5%. However, the budget deficits are so bad, no one really knows where this is headed over the next 24 months.
  23. Texas 21 Vanderbilt 14 Texas passing yards - 237.
  24. Jaws when I was 11. Led to pretty much a lifelong fear of the ocean.
