LOVE the "Losers" reference!

An IPO only means *publicly* traded stock. Stock can be bought privately before then directly from the company, if you have permission (aka tons of money to "invest").

100% untrue. They are not exempt from *any* laws. The DOJ just refuses to investigate and prosecute.

ha ha ha yeah I caught that "reincarnated" bit, too. While Buddhists subscribe to rebirth, it's not the same as reincarnation. But I understand the distinction might be hair-splitting and seen as nit-picking so I'm not gonna write a treatise. This guy is indeed pissed, though!

That information was and always has been readily available. What bothers me as a Democrat is that the party didn't bother to lay this out as one of the very strong messages that would have been effective had they been used. Instead, we got limp-noodle "I'm a good choice because I'm a good person" which is noble and all but goddammit you gotta raise the black flag when dealing with the GOP. This is why we lose because our leadership REFUSES TO PUNCH BACK.

While that would have been an AWESOME retort, I'm glad he stuck with the steady stream of 5ths. "I don't have to answer to you" in somewhat adjacent speaking, and he's right. Senate hearings aren't courts so different laws apply but nothing supercedes the 5th.

He wasn't, though, as I'm sure you know. He ignored Fauci's advice and counsel at every turn, and blamed the good doctor when Covid took lives due to his own slow response and acceptance of fact. Dr. Fauci was subjected to numerous public insults from the press and Congress along with credible threats to his own life and the lives of his family, and yet the entire time remained poised and professional. I'd have *gladly* lost my shit at all that he withstood from these idiots.

Because torque is the result of a cross-product of force (used to spin the wheel) and the perpedicular distance to the force (the radius of the wheel). You can use your right hand to show you which direction the torque is in by pointing your thumb up, your first finger straight out, and bending the other fingers 90 degrees. In other words, the RIGHT HAND correctly predicts the direction of the torque.

That's not true. The Joint Chiefs have to okay nuclear weapon use. He only has "authority" because he's part of the chain that has to agree to use them.

Was this ever a graphic novel? I've seen frames from it and would love to know the source. I've read the book and seen the videos.

A fetus isn't a person. You can only murder people. A fetus is a *developing* human, but it isn't one until it's born. I'm not saying it's not alive - you made the assumption, not me - but it isn't a person, or a human being YET. Until it's born a fetus is a fetus. A fetus can die because it is indeed alive, but it isn't a person. SCIENCE backs me up on all of this.

{ Great Britain's "society of science" or something like that, } That would be the Royal Society. It has existed since Sir Isaac Newton's time and members can lose their seats for being unscientific enough.

Because that's how the universe works. Torque - which is what the spinning wheel has, while the still wheel does not - acts at a right angle to the spinning object - along the axis of rotation. *Always* at right angles, and depending on the direction of spinning.

REALLY LIKE the shitter analogy, and spot-on.

BIG TIME! This would have been an awesome moment to just turn right around and walk off the stage in the opposite direction. Wasted opportunity.

A fetus isn't a human. You cannot "murder" anything in the womb because it isn't a human being yet. It must be born to be a human being. Those that sling "abortion is murder" clearly don't understand what they are saying.

Lucifer was also known as The Morningstar before some comic book.

Do not bring Lucifer Light-Bringer into this! The fallen angel *cannot* be blamed for the free will of mankind to do whatever the fuck, this is not the direction of an angel cast out. And don't you dare try to change it to the satan to cover the mistake. I think what you *mean* to say is that 99% of American Christans don't act at all like the christ they pretend to espouse to be like. Lucifer Morningstar has NOTHING to do with this.

Thank you for the share! I now know who this is and how they sound. Which, in my humble opinion, is good!

We have an AMF alley in our city, it is run well and a lovely place to be for a fine few games of the ol' roll. I didn't know there was a bowling cartel.
