No never mind, we're still losing trees.

Only if he makes a deal with Dems which makes him (politically) a dead man walking. Most likely they will just run out the clock until November when there are new elections. Republicans have a two seat majority out of hundreds, they can't do much without bipartisan support and that is not going to happen in this aggressive political atmosphere.

Brother laser printers are great. I get new toner for my laser jet twice each decade. Never had a problem. I press print, it prints. Only issue is pretty high current draw when it kicks on with my old house wiring. That's about it.

It's a super complex issue. I honestly think the article makes it one step more complicated since it asks to not condemn Hamas. "Free Palistine" is one thing, "I stand with Hamas"... That's a totally different animal.

Genuian question here, are there any studies on bone structure and joint strength of trans athletes? The article says there's no scientific evidence to prevent trans athletes but only talks about testosterone. The complains I have heard center more around a person who had natural male hormones until say 16, and so had puberty male growth in bones and joints to support male muscle mass. Then, transitioned. The hormone levels would be the same as any other female athlete, but would prior bone and joint growth be "locked in"?

Does that give an advantage? Especially in a sport like swimming where arm length and shoulder size are so critical for the physics of propultion through water.

This is a big deal. Amazon has cornered a lot of markets. It will take like 3 years to sort out, but the beginning for sure.

Dems have been over performing in every election since Dobbs

One thing that still heartens me is that the right so abhors violence still (especially against the police) that there is a rampent conspiracy that all the violence at Jan 6th was staged Antifa actors not right wingers. So that's good that the instincts are not that violence against the police is good.

Seems like it's about concussive problems. The concussive blast of a firearm is no joke strong on the ears. You will totally lose your hearing.

I liked it. I think there may be a difference between American moderates today with LGBTq and American moderates in the past on racial issues. In the US moderates are pretty progressive on lgb issues (Idk about the t yet) compared to the rest of the world (including South America in my understanding). But American moderates were pretty behind on racial issues in the 60s, as it was still decades before interracial relationship on TV were shown regularly or interracial marriage was legal.

In the US at least there has been real progress in most cities that make up the majority of the population, or suburbs where all the moderates in the US live. Political progress comes in stutter steps with political power since not much gets done.
