It is embarrassing.  Lets face it, the USA civilian population has little discipline to follow directions for a long period of time.  

Similar to what Steve mentioned, if you think about it, having a "fuck you" attitude is American as baseball and Abraham Lincoln. Americans have been flipping the bird to authority since 1776. It's in our cultural DNA

Maybe we can compromise and rename the Denver Airport to the John Denver Airport?

You're implying that the hires were racially motivated. What proof do you have of that? You really think team's are drafting certain players and paying them millions just because they're black? 

White men really can't jump, if we're being 100% honest.

Video wouldn't play here.

 

Text and video are not accurate.

 

Typical surgical masks have pore sizes measured in the tens to hundreds of micrometers. The CO2 molecule is around 230 picometers. 1 micrometer is 1,000,000 picometers, so O2/CO2 gas exchange through your typical surgical mask is not impeded to any appreciable degree. Thousands of individual molecules of CO2 can pass through a single pore in a surgical mask without ever touching the edge of the pore. Hypercapnia is virtually impossible with normal usage of surgical masks.

Even the more restrictive n95-type masks have pore sizes that block out 95 percent of particles down to 0.1-0.3 microns; that's still a pore size of 100,000-300,000 picometers. Again, a molecule of CO2 is only around 230 picometers.

PS- that paranoia about "carbon dioxide toxicity" got debunked on Snopes...  

It should've been easily debunked using a physics or chemistry textbook, but here were are....

They go good with soup, but watch out for those carbs.

After 2016, I don't put much stock in polls anymore.

Tim Pool's breakdown of the video:

I think it's pretty obvious that Facebook is acting as a publisher now under Section 230, instead of a neutral platform. Even some Democrats are calling them out now. I think it's well past time to reign these social media companies in.

If so, and I could be wrong, but if that protection were to go away it could basically end social media as we currently know it. There's no way an organization can effectively police all of the content posted to their platform. 

In a way, I hope that it does end social media as it currently stands. Social media companies today wield far too much power over the public domain, and they have demonstrated themselves to be unwilling or unable to be neutral arbiters of the political discourse. Companies like Facebook and Twitter have demonstrated numerous times that have a bias against conservative entities, and actively moderate/censor said views. 

Not a good look for Facebook:

Stripping Facebook of Section 230 protection can't come fast enough. Tech companies won't change until it starts to hit them in their wallets.

Most everyone here knows I am an atheist and no fan of religion in general, but I do not support the destruction of religious iconography, either. Shaun King is a moron.

If you think you're going to be in a shoot out while driving to/from work, then quit.  Or carry a AR-15 with a nice big clip of ammo.  Also some body armor.

Well, luckily (or unluckily) for me, the 'rona slowdown finally caught up with my company, so myself and a bunch of others at my company got laid off Thursday, so I guess I don't have to worry about working downtown at night for the time being.

Still getting my CCW, though. The world is just getting too crazy out there at the moment not to.

Do you plan on a shoot out?

With the way the world looks like it's heading, would that be out of the realm of possibility?

My favorite hand guns are Smith & Wesson revolvers. I carry an Air weight, titanium frame 44 magnum with a 2" barrel. I hope I never have to use it...mostly because it  will kick like a mule, and ruin what's left of my hearing. I used a Ruger .357 2" barrel revolver for my CCW license about 10 years ago, and was pleased with the accuracy. My .357 police revolver is by far my favorite to fire. Extremely accurate, and smooth action. I've never owned a semi automatic hand gun. They don't "feel right" to me. 

A revolver is an interesting thought. I'm wanting a CCW gun for my car, specifically to keep in the glove box. By chance, to you also use a speed loader with your CCW revolver?

Please- super paranoid Cal.. I took a little time to watch some of those related links. Guess you're going to be happy with four more years of a guy who didn't remember which country his dad was born in, and can't properly enunciate "originate" and says oranges three times in the same speech.  There was also an enlightening video of Mr. Bible waver's actions at the recent National Prayer Breakfast, where he showed his true religious colors. And Biden is senile?  

And don't get me started that President Hydroxy-Lysol sent the Medical community on a wild goose chase wasting valuable time that could have been better spent following more scientific leads. In case you missed the memo, both the CDC and NIH say that stuff doesn't work. Will Trump ever apologize? When Hell freezes over Cal....   

Trump can be a shitty president, and there can also be a major leftist Anarcho-communist uprising happening simultaneously. They are not mutually exclusive.

I've voted mostly Democrat in every election since I turned 18 back in 2004 (2016 notwithstanding; I voted Gary Johnson). I can't, in good conscience, vote for any Democrats moving forward, as they have sold their souls to the Regressive Leftist mob. I really wish Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang would've stayed I'm the race, because I could've voted for either or both of them if they unified their ticket, but at this point, it's either Trump or just voting on down ballot issues for me.

"Every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered...History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." -- 1984, George Orwell

Bottom line, Trump and his campaign over sold on his campaign rally, and failed to deliver spectacularly. Instead of lying about it, they should just admit they fucked up on that one, apologize to his supporters, and move on.

I can’t comment on the Taurus, but I’ve had good luck with Rugers in the past.

The Ruger I was looking at was nice, and it fit in my hand pretty comfortably. 

Only downside is that the EC95 is a 7+1.
