I don't mean to speak for Matt, but I gather he won't be happy until we start blastin'.Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe
I don't know, these new appointment announcements have surprised even me in the best way imaginable. If the last four years have taught us anything, the executive branch can get away with virtually anything until the courts stop it, and while that may happen the stark difference is so far everything President Trump has proposed is actually law -- federal or Constitutional.
This "nothing left to lose" cabinet will have an unprecedented fight on their hands, but man am I excited to see it...

Seems like every Western country, NZ included, isn't actually democracy. Just 2 shit choices every time.
The cult of personality around Trump is a very weird thing for an outside observer. Going bankrupt should like a, last resort, morally challenging thing to do. Knowing you've made promises you can't keep & taken on debt you can't pay back but have no other choices left.
Doing it half a dozen times.. Mother fucker should be in prison.

This is valid only in the very narrow sense of 'eliciting a lasting immune response in the mucose'.
Taking Vitamin D is also better than nothing; the result also means it's ineffective in 70% of the cases, which is quite a lot.
As usual, the issue is not in the result, but it the way it's presented. It can be distorted both ways, that's true. I feel though that distortions in one direction are put under more of a spotlight than those in the opposite one, sometime by the same agent/outlet.

Wal, people who do fraudulent things are crooks. These researchers did a fraudulent thing, and are therefore crooks. And you did have covid, it was just so mild you didn't know. If you are older, you are in the only cohort that the vaccines might have helped in reducing symptomatic infection, if you took the vax. If not...covid is mild for many. And SARS1 infection did provide partial immunity, given Australia's proximity to Asia, that could also explain lack of symptomatic infection. But I assure you, at this point nearly every human over ~2 years old on the plant has had covid-19.
In other news, lets be foolishly optimistic about some of DJT's appointments.
dear washington DC - by el gato malo - bad cattitude
You should go read the whole thing and allow yourself to feel hopeful, but here are a few highlights:
If there was only a way to invest in copium futures!
DC is going to feel like it’s being invaded by an entire bestiary of mythical monsters with magical powers who can see through walls and huck immovable objects over the horizon.
they will come from every side at once. they will replace thousands of federal employees right from the start, you’ll be fighting against the outside and the inside. they’re going to transfer and move those permanent staters they cannot fire. have fun in topeka or guam. they’re lovely this time of year.
they are not going to play nice or play fair.
they are going to get things done.
and they are going to clown you while doing it, clown you like “name their agency after a crypto shitcoin that muskrat ran “to the moon” just because they think it’s funny.”
and it will be.
snip!
sunlight is powerful disinfectant.
let’s look at everyhting with new eyes. let’s disrupt.
get the establishment on tilt from day one and never stop pushing. not from any side, not for a moment.
shut things down.
gut agencies like trout.
invite them to “cry some more” if they don’t like it.
