7/9/2020 2:36pm Well the babies would probably be ok with that given their other option. Seems like as a taxpayer I'm gonna be paying for either way it goes. Why limit its use to terminating them before or at birth? I have no recollection of anything before I was about four years old. If a mother has a baby give her three...

7/9/2020 2:15pm Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry has a pre-natal development exhibit that has preserved human babies in containers that show development from 28 days till birth. Its a pretty fascinating but somber exibit. Even from a few weeks after conception you can see they are human beings. To abort them is simply murder but many seem to be ok with...

7/9/2020 2:25pm Fact check: Hospitals get paid more if patients listed as COVID-19, on ventilators So Medicare paid more for COVID patients and quite a bit more if those patients were placed on vents. This may be why some NYC public hospitals were so intent to get incoming patients to grant approval for them to ventilate them when they were admitted. And...

7/9/2020 1:34pm Since Pro-Choice is a thing, why doesn't that apply to wearing of face masks? One choice has about a 100% fatality rate while the other would have some incredibly small & hard to calculate fatality rate - say 0.1% (I rounded up). Very much like saying some lives matter a lot, while other lives don't matter at all. Bring on the down votes!

6/30/2020 2:05pm I've not heard what the death lag period is currently. Early Chinese data found only about a 6 day period but many early reports were saying 7-21 days. This was back at a time when testing was not as readily/easily available so the lag period may be greater now as people are able to know when they became infected better...

6/26/2020 1:57pm I think the left one actually has an exit on the underside of the muffler. The rear hole can be open too but there's an onboard gyroscope controlling it that diverts the gas downward kinda like a thrust vectoring thing to be used when scrubbing aggressively. It allows the rider to get the bike back vertical quicker and easier. In...

6/26/2020 1:06pm We made hangman nooses all the time when I was a kid. Had no idea it had allusions to lynchings, we did it because we saw 'em in spaghetti westerns all the time. 'Hang 'em High' and all that. Truth is there were no black kids at all around me growing up so I had no idea about that stuff. I was the minority and it was all hispanic. All my teachers, scout leaders, principals, everyone was hispanic.

6/26/2020 6:42am So did people of color only get lynched with a proper noose knot or were there other knots used that we need to be concerned with now and they're "symbology"? I know and use several knots that I learned when I was in in Boy Scouts; even learned how to tie a noose after some of us urged the scout...

6/24/2020 12:57pm Go back and listen to the song, "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley. If anyone thinks the media is in the business of informing them, then they are extremely naive. The media is big business and they need civil unrest, war, scandal, etc., to get eyes on their channels. If none of the aforementioned is available, then they will generate it. Folks, ratings carry more gravity in the media world than truth in journalism, and that's sad. They have the power to be part of the change and the healing process. Hell, how about reporting on how these bad cops somehow...

6/24/2020 4:41am I think we need a 72 hour cooling off period for media reports that might incite people to riot, burn down a Wendy's, take over a city center, etc sorta like when you're buying a handgun

6/23/2020 4:52pm A 100HP loader tractor with MFD is what I used when I built my track. I was having to carry bucket loads of good clay at one location to different spots to make jumps though. If your just pushing dirt up to make jumps a dozer may work better. However with a full bucket of dirt and MFD you can...

6/20/2020 6:54pm Watch this video from start to finish. Its chilling. We're shown it at most training I've attended the last few years. This show how quickly things happen and why officers get so uneasy while dealing with people who aren't complying. This is an extreme example but nearly every officer has had a similar situation where the other guy lunges at you or attempts to assault you. Good luck fighting someone high on a stimulant no matter what their size is. The toughest SOB I've gone hands on with was a dude about 5'5 150 lbs (I'm 6'0 208 lbs) who...

6/17/2020 12:43pm They are called “Less Lethal,” not “Non Lethal”. Less chance of death, not none. Also, any weapon like a Taser or OC, used against an LEO, is lethal. This is due to the fact that once incapacitated, an LEO is a sitting duck for a gun takeaway. I don’t have the exact stats in front of me, but it typically floats around 90% of LEOs are killed with their own weapon prior to the suspect fleeing if they take it away. Also remember...despite the media’s love for the term, there is no such thing as an unarmed combative suspect-LE brings...

6/15/2020 8:30pm It's not borderline. These cops will sue atlanta for unlawful termination and win a ton of money. It's funny you place blame on the police in any capacity here. They did everything absolutely right and he chose to assault them, steal a taser and fire the taser at an officer. Theres a lot of stuff that needs changed and we need to weed out the bad police but when you use 100% justifiable shootings as examples you'll start to lose support from the vast majority of people. If you go after a cop (or anyone for that matter) with a...

6/13/2020 4:40am I liked when guys could ride the class on the way up, and on the way down. An MX/SX career shouldn't be a one-way path with a cliff at the end.

6/2/2020 9:45am Hopefully Herlings heads over for the first round at Ironman, the closest track to me. I missed his performance last time. He knows the track and if he wins he could then brag about holding the red plate in MXGP and the US 450MX class at the same time

6/1/2020 3:26pm That's a pretty long thread to get through. Here's something I can tell you: I know of a customer of ours who was the first in our county to test positive for it. He farms and is an airline pilot and feels he got it up at O'hare. I haven't talked to him but an article I read about him...

5/14/2020 10:12am Used to have a friend who raced flat track and short track. He told the story of a fellow racer that lined beside him at a race, fired up his Bultaco and when the rubber band released he went backwards. The two stroke motor was running backwards. Of course the story was embellished by saying that the guy was already...
