  1. Someone did some forensic accounting and I believe it's the family that owns Hobby Lobby who are footing most of the bill for He Gets Us.

    Q

    Well, it's been five years. That's a slow moving storm. 7400a9pvoxca1.webp
  3. I travel extensively for work and have recently been listening to the Knowledge Fight podcast. The Formulaic Objections episodes are breakdowns of the depositions given by everyone in Free Speech Systems including the audio recordings involved and are eye opening as to what passes for journalistic integrity. I'd say "If it bleeds, it leads" but "If it sells to substandard vitamin supplements to substandard thinkers" feels like a better line.
  4. It's funny that these got brought up. The husband of Candace Owens is currently unloading Parler onto a mentally ill formerly talented rapper. On the other side is Truth Social where thousands of morons have poured their life savings into DWAC hoping that SEC approval for the SPAC would yield results. If Trump gets the Twitter green light and abandons those platforms would that tank them both leaving everyone else holding the bag? What happens to Mike Lindell's pillow fortune and all the "patriots" who cashed in their retirements to bring free speech back to the internet?
  5. The Qcumbers seem pretty sure that Harris is going to the SC so Hillary can slide into the VP slot and Biden can resign. Also, something about satan, but I lack the long term cognitive dissonance to finish reading the plan.
  6. I got it, and for what it's worth I thought it was a good one.
  7. The statistics of vaccinated versus unvaccinated hospitalizations and deaths seems to indicate that while not perfect or without risk the shots are working. I work in health care and have yet to have to help roll a vaccinated person while guarding their ventilator circuit and drips in the hopes that being prone stops them from dying. While we may end up with herd immunity or something close to it (wishful thinking) there may be a variant or strain for which vaccinations are ineffective. The truth is we won't know for some time, but comparing a different pathogenic structures mutation in fowl with a totally different vaccine and delivery systems to the one with humans likely won't get us any closer.

    The joke's on him though....I won't be ready for anything except work.

    Q

    Its been moved to March 20th according to the delusional wacko I work with that tracks this stuff. He also let me know that I should "be ready to hold the line" whatever that means.
  10. Maybe he is done tomorrow, but eventually we will have to deal with the sycophantic reality challenged electorate that are willing to kill or die for the waste of skin and oxygen that we've called a president for the last four years.
  11. I jumped with a Shock Doctor 875 for a season while waiting to have ACL reconstruction a couple years back. It worked great and I had no issues jumping with it. After surgery my Orthopedist and physical therapist advised me when I could jump again and that I should not use a brace anymore.
  12. I've always carried mine on because I'm afraid of what could happen if TSA has unsupervised access to my handles. I have a rig sleeve, usually remove my hook knife but forgot last time I flew (about a month ago) and made it through both Denver and San Diego without any issues. About 6 years ago at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway a TSA agent attempted to lift my old rig by the metal reserve ripcord as it came out of the scanner. The reserve pilot chute hit the floor but the free bag didnt move and I was able to carry it on in a trash bag. Thankfully i was heading home from Eloy or that really could have been a trip spoiler. The agent apologized and the supervisor had me fill out a form that got me a check to pay for a repack. I have a Curv now with pillows and the rig sleeve has velcro stretch covers that wrap around the cutaway and reserve handles.
