  1. Schismatic, but not heretical. I wish I had a pellet smoker, I would probably smoke more things more regularly.
  2. BRK/B keeping my portfolio above water today.
  3. Sorry, hit by a bus and then suicided.
  4. Is was the girl that got hit by the bus or whatever and had previously gone on record wrt Trump. There was no reason to redact the name.
  5. Culled this guy out yesterday morning. 158# on the hoof.
  6. Ledge clashing with sunshine pumping.
  7. They are ISIS. Jfc we just refuse to learn from the history of our engagement in the region.
  8. Amazing.
  9. We’re hosting an Al Qaeda terrorist that use to have a $10mm bounty on his head at the WH today. A few weeks ago he was shooting hoops with American generals in Syria while a systematic genocide of Syrian Christians plays out. The absurdity just insists upon itself.
  10. You should bump the healthcare policy thread. Seriously.
  11. I guess high quality is relative. Of the 10 underlying studies, at least one of them has been retracted (also happens to be one that the authors rated most highly on quality), majority were open label, and there are indicators of publication bias in the articles that were included. The point estimates for weight loss (~15lbs) given the duration of the underlying studies is improbable, so of course deserves some scrutiny. I didn't dig into all the studies, but here is the retraction that popped with literally the second underlying article that I looked at. Not a good look when the only underlying study that was published in a journal family you would recognize is retracted. https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/2025/09/23/bmjnph-2023-000823ret Wide ranging concerns were raised about the quality of the work after publication, including the approach to statistical analysis of the dataset; implausible values; concern about the reliability of the underlying dataset; inadequate reporting of the work; and absence of prospective trial registration, which is a breach of BMJ policy.2 3
  12. That's dumb. A Mitch McConnell special. Too bad Biden admin never delivered on the descheduling. Cause you ain't getting another crack at that one under this admin.
  13. Even worse, heaven forbid you make one fucking donation to a democrat and you show up on the public record rolls and they sell your info and you start getting text messages from Gavin fn Newsome.
  14. Ending the shutdown is the right thing. The fact that the democrats did it in the most politically degrading way possible is just fun theatre.
  15. Looks like he's seen some shit.
  16. At least one of his buddies seems to have gone missing, but itching to turn this one into sausage.
  17. The answer, wrt timing at least, is right there.
  18. Still trying to understand where you are at wrt ACA these days?
  19. Only democrats could get away this long with voting against funding SNAP benefits.
  20. Check that. Actually my parents are driving here for Tday and Xmas is less than 10 minutes drive.
  21. All my holiday engagements are within 1.5h driving distance. I do have to pick my wife and daughter up at AUS tonight though.
  22. I agree with that take. That was the play, and the D's just played themselves politically by caving. But in the real world, this is a good thing. If this stretched through Tday and into December it would have been a total shit show. You tell me.
  23. Come on guys. If this shit held over the next few weeks into holiday travel season, it was going to be a shit show. The dems that caved did the right thing. It was an absurdity to shutdown the government over ACA subsidies that were time limited by D design.
