    Trump’s gonna put the whole system on tribal!

    Can a convicted felon run for president? Asking for a stupid fucking asshole.

    So does Secret Service accompany this clown to the slammer?

    I don’t have any pics handy, but my latest gear acquisition is a Mesa Studio 22+. It is fucking glorious.

    Prince fans assure me Jimmy can’t play for shit.

    It’s shameful that the effective tax rate is highest for the lowest 20% in both states.

    Texas: where poor people subsidize corporations and the rich.

    This is a rather roundabout way to figure out which posters are pants-wetting chickenshits who live in a delusional fantasy world.

    Religion results from a package of Darwinian optimal traits. It’s one of those blinds spots in human reason that prevails because it benefits our genes. Being correct is not always optimal. Sometimes it’s better to be skittish, tribal, and violent. But that doesn’t make it any less stupid.

    Agreed. You want a designated diffuser to spread the situation over a wide area.

    Funny, but now it’s bugging me that she’s not sitting next to a full stack.

    Uh… have you read this thread?

    They discuss this in the podcast I linked. you should give it a listen. I need to read up on the email correspondence and listen to their explanation again, but the long and short of their position is that their emails have been incompletely quoted in a very misleading way.

    No, I’m not assuming that at all. I’m saying the onus is on those who think the Wuhan lab was unique in a relevant way to show that. And you and others have not done so. It’s insufficient to argue merely that the Wuhan lab was doing research on coronaviruses or even SARS type viruses that are closely related to Covid. For that to be meaningful evidence, you must also show that the same does not apply to other bio labs in China. Otherwise, you’re just amazed that you pulled a red ball out of a bag that, as far as we know, could be full of red balls.

    Ha. No, probably not. I mean, any of us could fake it with enough practice. But as technically impressive as that solo is (and it is technically impressive), it doesn’t move me enough to invest the kind of time and effort required to play a passable version. Which would be a lot. Are we evolving this thread into the “Monster Solos” thread? Because if so — hell, even if not — here’s one of my favorite examples of blending technical mastery with musicality. Bonus points for Klaus Meine in heels. Skip to 0:40 for the solo: I’m not typically a fan of neoclassical players. But that solo fucking rocks.

    That’s not obfuscation. It’s directly relevant to evaluating the strength of a major argument offered by lab leak proponents. You either fail to understand that basic aspect of probability theory or you are obfuscating.
  22. BrickHorn
    You left out the key part of that quote so as to completely change its meaning. But that’s unsurprising, since obfuscation is your consistent goal.
  23. BrickHorn
    I’m not carrying anyone’s water and I don’t have an opinion on lab leak versus natural origin, except to note that lab leak theorists rely in part on flawed logic of a type common to empty-headed conspiracy theories. Beyond that, I’ll leave the debate about genetic sequences and furin cleavage sites and whatnot to the virology and epidemiology experts.

    And here comes Lowest Common Denominator to pledge his support for Captain Common Sense.

    Every time I see Willie the Wildcat, I think back fondly on this classic:
