  1. Trump lays off federal employees who do research determining the correct inflation rate to increase Social Security benefits. Increasing inflation is not found, so the olds get less money next year in their Social Security payments even though inflation is much greater than the cost-of-living increase. It’s just like Covid. If you don’t let the cruise ship dock, then the USA doesn’t have any reported cases of Covid. Brilliant! Fart of the deal!
  2. Two girls, one Taco?
  3. Man, you are on a my-way-or-the-highway the last couple days. I have no problem with your needles and fentanyl theory, but I want dead officers too, and putting it in the vodka would mean no matter the rank, the assholes are drinking it. Plus, there would be two bites at the apple at the F giggity - the voluntary ingestion and the involuntary one. Let’s not be selfish, let’s give them all an opportunity.
  4. Zero chance of them NOT ingesting the F-juice? But since you got me thinking - how about Ukrainian agents also delivering bunches of humanitarian water purification systems - that have hidden embedded GPS locators - so the drones and artillery have a better idea where to make it go boom?
  5. I was living in Kennewick, Washington when Saint Helens blew. Being east of the Cascades the weather is always sunny and clear there, and when I woke up that morning, deeply hung over, I walked out of my apartment to drive to get coffee at the convenience store and instantly saw the several inches of ash covering the ground and my car. Giant, dark rolling clouds filled the sky, and I instantly assumed there had been a nuclear war, that the ash was fallout, and I would go back inside and turn on the TV and figure out when I would die from radiation. It was quite the relief to realize it was only a volcano natural disaster. One thing nobody talks about now was that the ash fell in such fine particles that everyone’s radiators immediately became clogged and cars overheated, and had to stop. I was a court administrator for the Benton Franklin County Superior Court at the time, and trials were conducted in the town of Prosser about 20 miles away, as they were the county seat. It took many weeks before people could drive 20 miles and not have their cars overheat. This included most first responder vehicle vehicles as well. It was definitely a thing that impacted everyone in the state for a while if they were in the plume penumbra.
  6. Arne Saknussemm should’ve paid for the training package. Rookie mistake.
  7. If Ukrainian drones dropped bottles of vodka laced with fentanyl near Russian troop lines, would that be a war crime - or just a bunch of fun to watch?
  8. Yeah . When they say looking at the historic timeline that we are getting ready to experience an event, they were talking about 15 to 20% chance over the next 50 years during maybe a 500 year cycle or more. When it doesn’t happen within 20 years that does not mean they were ‘wrong’ about the ready to pop volcanoes or earthquakes, or that the warnings were false. It only means that Batchelor interpreted their statement as a promise the event was gonna happen right away. Which is entirely on Batchelor - and was never a position set forth by the scientists.
  9. Jesus. It’s like dousing people with gasoline is now a bad thing.
  10. The Yellowstone Caldera laughs at this cute little natural disaster.
  11. I admit it sucks that you have three pre-teen girls trying to raise themselves with a drunken alcoholic idiot mom in a country where they don’t speak the language - and no one gives a shit if they die in the gutter after being raped by every Ivan in Adidas sweatpants in the neighborhood. I’m sure the kids at school are treating them well - considering they are Americans - and the news says Trump is shitting all over Putin on the reg. As much as I give no shits whatsoever about the dad dying, I still feel terrible every time I think about those girls - and wish there’s some way Trump could insist they be returned. Leave the mom.
  12. Yeah, and they demand you wear a seatbelt. And if you’re wearing one and drive into the water-filled ditch you’ll drown because you can’t get out in time.
  13. I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe consider putting the system on trial?
  14. The fact that it would be very unwise doesn’t seem to be a predictor of whether it will be done or not.
  15. Other than the Nork borscht protein created every day. And it’s not “cannibalism” unless you’re eating someone from Moscow. New Putin law should’ve told you.
  16. I’m not saying that ”drown” in a post is like a bat signal for Nicole to show up, but…
  17. I wish I could help. I did fall asleep during a CT in the 1990s. My sinus surgeon said it was the best image he had ever seen due to the limited movement during the scan. I’m not sure if there is a limited image with a standup MRI, but it seems if you are paying for it then your physician should let you pick the MRI you want as long as it’s within your coverage and will do the job, diagnostically. Your doctor of course, wants to have you use the MRI that’s financially associated with his or her institution, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only choice available. I imagine it would be on you to look up which imaging services are covered by your insurance, and have your physician order it be done at the place of your choice. But keep in mind the purpose of an MRI is to give your physician the best idea of what is going on. When MDA was still looking for metastasized cancer in me, my physician specifically asked that I be scanned with the brand new Siemens MRI, which he said gave a better image then the slightly older MRIs that was the backbone of scanning at MDA. In my case, the scan was to find small cancers that chemo hadn’t killed, and so I had no problem with a longer wait until that particular machine was available. That is my long-winded way of saying that you need to pick the MRI alternative that gives you the best image. Period. So gummy up if you have to.
  18. Which obviously means that everyone will disregard the next tsunami warning…..and will drown.

    Not sure. I think we’re a basketball school now. j/k. I think he will miss significant time, we lose six games, and Billy is fired. if Lagway won’t be playing next year (for whatever reason) there will be a race to the transfer portal by the wide receivers who were attracted to Lagway….as opposed to our offensive scheme… such as it is.
