I had to do some digging to find any details on what these individual sanctions actually entail. It looks like we're talking about freezing assets and imposing travel bans. One would have to assume that the oligarchs in question are sm

This is a complete tangent, but to be fair, the river was much larger when said carving began. :) Rim to rim, the canyon is pretty darned wide.

Voters kept Bush Jr. in office for a second term. Term limits got rid of him. If you're referring to Bush Sr., then this is also incorrect. The economy and Ross Perot got rid of him.

The issue is what happens when you have a vast population of childless retirees and not enough younger working people to subsidize their existence.

It sounds like what you're saying would apply to like almost every job ever. What's the solution?

Nice sentiment but this is analogous to the concept of not throwing out food because there are starving people out there. The vaccine you're not taking isn't going to magically get reappropriated for use in the third world. Most l

Assuming you're talking about Rogan here, and not one of his guests. He doesn't pose as anything, certainly not as an expert on topics that he's not. So everything besides MMA. Seems to me that you've never listened to h

In my humble opinion, I think 4-5 glasses of wine per month, even if you have them all in one sitting, is effectively the same as not drinking at all. From a biological perspective. I was having two to three strong IPAs every single evening

In my subjective experience, weed-induced brain fog goes away after about three days of abstinence. This is after heavy duty multiple times per day for months at a time levels of smoking. Cravings also go away after about three days. I don&

This is just a conjecture, but I suspect that the number of people using YouTube DL is a tiny fraction of those using YouTube proper. Like less than 1%. The potential for revenue recovery here is tiny. And the corporate execs are surely aw

I've read that the pfizer study compared rates of positive test cases between the two groups. BUT, the tests were administered based on self-reported symptoms which were then evaluated by a staff member to decide whether a test was war

There are supplements that eliminate almost all of the negative side-effects of stims. - L-Tyrosine to keep your dopamine levels up. - ALCAR + ALA to reduce neurotoxicity and tolerance formation - Magnesium and Zinc for muscle tension, incl

This study, and others like it that use mice, would be a lot more interesting if they bucketed out some ranges for the test variable. For this one, I would have liked to see groups with 20, 40, 60, and 80% sugar diets.

It's strange that this article doesn't actually mention the number of deaths for each year. They only mention the 40% increase for the younger demographic and the source says "the increase in deaths represents huge, huge numb

What doesn't make a lot of sense is comparing vaccines that have been around for ages (tetanus, flu) to ones that were developed like yesterday (COVID, malaria). I have the COVID vaccine but that doesn't mean I am not concerned ab

Are you assuming that the comment you are replying to is in regard to vaping indoors in public spaces? No reason to do so. And also, why conflate smoking with vaping? They are completely different in terms of immediate and lingering odor, a

I've got an estimate here that says Grindr is doing 31 million dollars net on over 100 mil revenue per year. I am by no means in favor of running these companies into the ground. The fines are definitely a balancing act. But it seems a

But, to use your analogy, why would companies treat user data like uranium when risk/reward is like that of oil? Grinder surely made much more from data sales than the 6.something million Erous it was find. The paltry fines under GDPR

Ah yes, the curious culture of circumcision in the United States is a great example of something that could use a bit of reexamination. Mr. Kellog, the Corn Flakes guy, in the late 1800s led a zealous crusade against masturbation. Eventual

A more appropriate conclusion would be that "it's dangerous to brazenly attack someone who is carrying a gun". Perhaps they were encouraged by the fact that Rittenhouse was trying to avoid conflict and run away? https:/
