  1. This. Close out the season strong. Keep the momentum going and let the chips fall where they may. Just don't have a regression.
  2. Personally, I am seeing more and more of his Dad in Kevin with each game. He seems to have evolved from trying to be the players buddy to being the coach we knew he could be. He doesn't look lost out there at all anymore. He is showing some emotion, and the players are responding. He's growing into the job and we need to look at locking him up longer term as schools will be calling (if they haven't been already).
  3. He is far too old for a second term. And if the other option is Trump, I am still voting for Biden.
  4. First Jan. 6 rioter to breach the Capitol spent months regurgitating Trump's election lies WASHINGTON — The very first rioter to breach the U.S. Capitol is on trial this week, with federal prosecutors laying out extensive evidence that he bought into and regurgitated the lies being spread by Republican politicians, some conservative news outlets and former President Donald Trump about his 2020 election loss. Michael Sparks, who worked at an electronics and components plant in Kentucky before the Capitol attack, faces six charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and obstructing law enforcement during a civil disorder. Sparks was the first rioter to enter the building, jumping through a broken window smashed in by Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola on the Senate side and then joining the mob that chased a lone Capitol Police officer up the stairs towards the floor of the Senate as members fled the chamber. https://www.yahoo.com/news/first-jan-6-rioter-breach-174536577.html
  5. As an aside, I'm just glad we are talking about cleavage. A subject I care about much more profoundly.
  6. Got ya. Forgot about his role in the gain of function research. My remembery doesn't work as well as it used to. I should probably run for President. How did you develop immunity? I am sure my opinion is chock full of bias, and admittedly, almost totally uninformed. I guess it is because I honestly don't care about the assignment of blame for this issue as much as others. My concern has been more on the Public Health response than in the origins. Especially since the origins are in China, who doesn't give a +++++ about anything and wouldn't change anything about what they decide to do even if it resulted in a pandemic that killed millions. I have always thought it kinda useless to get worked up about it.
  7. I have long thought the lab leak theory was most likely. Just in terms of the seemingly rapid evolution of the virus from other forms of SARS. It didn't seem natural to me, but I'm no virologist. I have not really been following this as closely as others. What is Fauci's criminal responsibility in this? Also the world's economy would probably collapse if we made China's economy collapse.
  8. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/21/opinions/alabama-supreme-court-fetal-embryo-personhood-abortion-ziegler/index.html The Alabama Supreme Court agreed that the embryos were persons. The court pointed to a 2018 ballot measure that recognized fetuses as persons under state law. “The People of this State,” the court explained, “have adopted a Constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding ‘unborn life’ from legal protection.” It did not matter to the court that the embryos were frozen and not yet implanted in the uterus. In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker suggested that divine law — which, he claimed, had been embraced by the people of Alabama — supported the court’s conclusion. “Human life,” he stressed, “cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God.” The Alabama ruling is a reminder of the importance of personhood politics on the American right — and a warning about how punitive they have become. Since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the fight to establish that the word “person” in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution applies to fetuses has escalated. At the one-year anniversary of the reversal of Roe, leading groups from the Alliance Defending Freedom to Students for Life called for personhood for “preborn children.”
  9. Seriously? Federal prosecutors can't tell the difference between sawdust and cocaine? That changes my entire world view.
  10. In before Alabama Supreme Court rules lab grown testicles are children.
  11. I am not going to try to defend pre-adult treatments. I am not in favor of them and I am not getting sucked down that rabbit hole with you. That said, I would like to see much more study of how gender-identity is formed, and yes, I still think it has a very large social component which is discussed in the article you posted. I think the danger in discounting that is castigating Trans people as "others" who are fighting against some ordained biology discovered by Sanford scientists. I think that is a dangerous road to go down. The study raises more questions than it answers, which it should. That's what good science should do.
  12. We don't really have sound science on the issue yet though. The Stanford study is a step, but it does not really answer the question.
  13. While true, the study doesn't really prove gender/sex difference in the brain is incapable of being rewired, or when or how it is wired. It does prove that adult (assuming the tests were done on adult) brains of the two gender/sexes function differently. I do kinda think we already knew that, but it does provide more information on that than we had before. I also think the use of AI to decipher the results was interesting.
  14. Regardless of what scientific studies of the brain say, Trans people are real. Trans people have rights to live free and happy lives. Hopefully we can find ways to understand them much better than we do in order to help them to be safe from this kind of bigotry...
