  1. Dude is your mind just a series of random non-connected thoughts.
  2. Intellectually one of your lazier posts but what the hell I’ll pay along. Man steps foot on the moon, July 1969, Republican President. And if Elon is going to step foot in Mars, you better vote R!
  3. We have a fair amount of data at this point, you might want to read up a little on how ineffective all this shit was, not to mention how destructive it was. No I’m not going post link, you’re a big boy at least you play on the internet.
  4. Too many high level D’s saying no to 24, and they’re not saying it behind closed doors, in my opinion virtually zero chance he’s the nominee. I read an interesting article the other day, Biden’s 24 run is based on whether Trump runs or not. In his mind I believe he honestly isn’t in his comfort zone, I think he has reservations about running, but he believes he’s the only person who can beat Trump. This will ultimately play out with his handlers, they don’t want to give up power, but they may not have a choice. And given the chance to hitch their trailer to a winner, they’ll flee like rats off a sinking ship. Regardless of your politics, if we take a look at the last year and a half, I think you have to agree it’s been a shit show. Joe Biden couldn’t lead a line of ants to a bowl of jello. But in an all out war to displace the Orange Man, half of the country were willing to destroy the country. And as far as the COVID response, BOTH parties are to blame, it was a boondoggle from the beginning.
  5. Quite possibly the dumbest suggestion you’ve ever made on this forum.
  6. Coach May, we’ve always been told that 70% support from the Coaches and a blessing from the IIAAA was the basis for making changes. Did the committee offer any insight into why no seeding? Is this something the IFCA will advance again?
  7. I think it’s safe to say, as details come out, this young man, pulled off some Dirty Harry level stuff. Had little to no cover when the shooter started. Engaged the shooter starting at about 40 yards Continued to close the distance between him and the shooter again, with little to no cover AND way out gunned. Hit the shooter eight times out of 10 rounds fired. Cleared bystanders while engaged with the shooter. •••OPINION*** This young man, was in the right place at the right time and willing and able to do what had to be done. With NONE of the training, experience, firepower, and resources that the officers in Uvalde had. This shooting has illuminated several points central to the firearm debate in this country. Laws/policies will be ignored. The ability to defend oneself is a fundamental right that should not be infringed. Hitting an astounding 80% of shots taken, the hero fired his gun 10 times to stop the shooter. What if there were two shooters? What if he was wearing body armor? What if he only hit him two out of ten times? 10 round capacity mag laws only inhibit law abiding citizens from defending yourself. If you want a “why” this is pretty conclusive. This was over in 15 seconds. Think about that very carefully, hundreds of lives were altered/ended by an event that last 15 seconds. Imagine your 22 year old self standing in line with your girlfriend to get a cookie…….
  8. All schools have to have asses in desks to make it work. If you’re not in high school, you are going to be targeted for recruitment.
  9. We reached out to Simon Properties Sunday evening for a statement about the shooting. A spokesperson declined to comment, instead referring us to Greenwood Police. ALSO - WTF is a "Long-Gun Rifle"? https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/17/us/indiana-greenwood-park-mall-shooting/index.html In the Greenwood mall shooting, the gunman apparently used a long-gun rifle, Ison said, though law enforcement had not immediately recovered any weapons from the scene. IO knows people who were asked to leave a Simon Property because they were carrying handguns. It should be pointed out in Indiana there is no criminal law against carrying on properties that are otherwise legal to carry, but the owners post as no firearms. They can ask you to leave or disarm, at which point you either comply or you will be cited for trespassing. I was standing in line one day at the bank, guy in front of me has a giant knife in a sheath he’s carrying about five o’clock. He keeps fingering it and he appears to be tweaking to me. I keep moving to my left, then right to make sure I had a clean shot if he went for the knife. Guy finished his business and left. Teller says you see in a bit of hurry….I told her the story, she had no clue he had the knife but she was aware of his mental state. One of the local banks I frequent is posted. Manager asked me one day if I saw the sign, to which I replied: “yep, it clearly states no Berettas, and I lifted my shirt and said as you can see, I’m clearly not carrying a Beretta. He just laughed and went about his business.
  10. National media typically operates: A) Shooter uses a handgun, no real national attention. B) Shooter uses a modern semi-auto rifle, but is stopped by a good guy with a gun, will usually warrant a little national attention, just enough to let the folks know the shooter used an “assault” rifle. C) Shooter uses a modern semi-auto rifle and it plays out, CNN will be camped in the parking lot with round the clock coverage, pontificating, and live coverage of all the memorials.
  11. One of the studies listed in what I read I felt like did a great job of examining the cradle to grave emissions per vehicle, all the way thru the supply chain. Lithium is fairly expensive (expense in this context is relating to Co2 production associated with manufacturing) to mine but it produces HUGE Co2 emissions in it’s processing. According to this study, and I forget the total “cost” of each vehicle in terms of Co2 emissions. But they figured a normal car’s lifespan is about 180K miles. The electric car would have to go over 400K before is becomes a net winner in emissions over gas vehicles. The bottom line all those people who keep touting “zero emissions”, they’re lying to you, and they’ve got their hand in your pocket the whole time they’re doing it. Hybrid is the now, let’s focus our short term THERE!
  12. No argument from me, as I’ve stated many times electric offers more speed, faster acceleration, more torque, etc, but it doesn’t sound like this:
  13. Find them yourself, believe I made them up, whatever, I don’t care. Then again, don’t batteries have a propensity for catching on fire if they’re damaged?
  14. Which begs the question, why did Honda opt to pretend leave Formula 1 citing it’s commitment to renewable energy propulsion.
  15. Hybrid technology is the now. Battery technology is the future. The dirty little secret is the greenies can’t get past is the fact that “green” vehicles produce more Co2 in the manufacturing process than gas vehicles will produce over their lifetime. Hybrid tech gives us some of the benefits of battery, sans the huge amount of Co2 produced in manufacturing massive fuel cells. Coupled with savings in conventional fuels and emissions.
