Well, we all know that Brett L has some…challenges in his life. I guess today is full of them. Or something. It’s also possible he asked for coverage and nobody stepped up. We’re like that.
So, here’s a quick link for you:
Now, have at it with an Open Post!
First.
Sleepy Joe isn’t the only one who is senile.
“But the violence that we see — whether it’s the toxic places where they (black people) live; the inadequacy of health care for them; whether it’s the lack of affordable housing; the absence of jobs at living wages; all those things – that’s basically going unseen. We see the actual violence because the police is what it is. It’s the last line line of defense for white supremacy. That’s what the police represents. They don’t protect African Americans,” Danny Glover said in an interview with Variety, speaking about the death of George Floyd and the frenzy of protests and hysteria that followed it.
“You can make an argument that the institutional violence has its roots in so many different ways,” the Predator and The Color Purple star said. “The violence that we see now that is acted out on the physical body of George Floyd has been the kind of violence that is engrained within the American idea of its culture, in its own subtlety, since the first Africans were brought here. So it’s 400 years of violence. It’s not just now!
So all those years of you playing a cop who was generally on the right side of things…I guess you gotta repent for that.
Not only that, but he played a South African cop during the apartheid era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep22slhuyZM
“It’s been revoked!”, classic!
… Wrong movie? … Whatchutalkinbout Willis?! Huh, another miss there? Damn, uh, Lando?
Those tens of millions of dollars from the Lethal Weapon movies can buy a lot of indulgences.
Except for Lethal Weapon 6 (which has also been pulled).
He may just be upset that he can’t pull off classy blackface like James Earl Jones.
I just popped over to Hulu and, yup, not there. My rage is untethered and knows no bounds. What a crock of shit, those were two of the best episodes. If these episodes are being yanked with the acquiescence of the cast it’s going to ruin the whole damn show for me.
That got yanked from foreign Netflix a while back. I noticed it was gone from Hulu last Saturday (when both pulled the Community episode that’s had me in a burning rage). There was an interview I read last year where Glen said the one episode he wouldn’t do again was Dee’s Dating a Retard. So I’m not sure if the cast has “evolved” or not.
And for those pushing physical media, sometimes you can’t even get episodes that way. I’m getting about ready to just going back to pirating it all.
Maybe they’ll come back after this dies down a bit but, yeah, torrents are an option if you’re willing.
/looks over at his 2 TB external drive of TV shows
I was more making a reference that Showtime and the DVD release have purged the Vatican episode of Bullshit (I’m slightly convinced it’s why the season after that was the last season of Bullshit).
Wow, that’s shitty.
Rhywun:
The first DVD release of that season didn’t have the Vatican episode on it. Right now it’s still not even on Hulu.
Damm!t. I should have said “sh!tty”.
S!gh.
I have seen interviews with Glover. He is a good actor but when he isn’t pretending to be someone sane he is his own bark- at-the-moon crazy self.
He used to live down the street from us in San Francisco, in a big mansion next door to Bobby McFerrin’s mansion. They were clearly suffering a lot of oppression in their multimillion dollar palaces.
I dunno. If his one single is any indication, he sounds like he takes it in stride.
None of those things are “violence”.
True Story about a story: Back in the day, my coworker sat across the aisle from this dumbass, in coach, on a flight to or from LAX. I can’t remember. The entitled fucker whined the whole trip about it. Hey asshole, in your perfect world there is only one cabin class, and only the Nomenklatura are in it.
Unrelated to the original, but my celebrity airplane story: On a redeye from LAX to ATL about 20 years ago. I was coming home from CAN. Bono (from U2) and his entourage of Euro-looking guys with shiny suits are in the waiting area. Bono’s on the floor behind an aisle, because it was the only way to plug in his laptop. We boarded and I’m in Business and so are all the shiny guys. Only open Business seat’s beside me, so I figure Bono’s coming and get ready to say “hey, aren’t you Sting?”. He gets on the plane last and sits back in cattle-class. Open seat by me the whole time.
He gets on the plane last and sits back in cattle-class.
Better chance of getting fawned over than next to some BUSINESS-*huff*-guy that doesn’t even know who he is.

Im sorry, but the position of OPAF (Open Post Anarchy Free) is diametrically opposed to the view presented by FOPA
OPAF is linked to the historical oppression of commenters who’s names are in all lower case, and the Fascist commenting Regime!
As long as we agree that FOPA (Free Open Post Anarchy) doesn’t get a seat at the table, we will get along just fine.

I’m starting to believe that the instigators of all this wokeism, who are all white coastal elites, are hell bent on clearing out cities of white folk, along with middle and upper class minorities, and leaving poor blacks in a hopeless war zones of despair and no police, social programs, schools, or medical care. After all, who it going to pay for that shit when there’s no tax base left? They couldn’t get eugenics any other way, so this must be the new eugenics. Only no one will know it, until it’s too late.
Who’s paying? Why the suburbs of course. Philly’s been trying to regionalize its school district budget with the suburbs for years.
The Dems have taken over all the suburban counties around Philly, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they go along with it now. But it will be the best way to swing the burbs back to the GOP if those feckless fucks decide to grow a spine.
The way the asking prices for rentals and sales are going down, I thought your conspiracy theory was going in another direction at first.
Not sure exactly what you mean, rut all rural properties around here seem to be increasing dramatically over the last couple of months.
I’m saying… torture us city folk with lockdowns and riots so we leave, then swoop in and buy up everything cheap.
I can’t wait to move soon. Probably not this year, but next is looking good. I’m paying way too much right now.
2 words. Mon tana
I just mean within my neighborhood. I have no desire to live in Montana.
Oh I misunderstood and thought you were looking to get out.
I told you about how cheap it is here. But then you’d have to live here.
“then swoop in and buy up everything cheap”
For what? Who will buy it? Everyone who could afford it, left.
They buy it and stay. It’s city ecology
Who needs Democrats when there are Republicans?
Texas Gov Greg Abbott just did a major reversal and issued an executive order mandating that masks be worn in public in all counties across Texas with more than 20 confirmed cases.
Speed Limit. Republicans and Democrats have the same ends, they just appeal to different groups.
Good luck enforcing that shit in Texas. What the hell happened to Abbott, does Fauci have a video of him on Epstein’s island or something?
Years ago at about the height of Glenn Beck’s popularity he claimed that George Soros requested a meeting and was told in no uncertain terms that Beck should get on board with the left’s agenda, that it was too late to stop it and if he didnt he would be crushed. Not long after that Beck was fired from FOX.
And he went on to create his own million dollar media outlet and years later he’s still earning millions as a radio host. Would someone please crush me like that.
OK, that point definitely goes to Hyperion. Well done.

“dwarf-like earth-dwelling spirit,” 1712, from French gnome (16c.), from Medieval Latin gnomus, used 16c. in a treatise by Paracelsus, who gave the name pigmaei or gnomi to elemental earth beings, possibly from Greek *genomos “earth-dweller” (compare thalassonomos “inhabitant of the sea”).

Though won’t matter cause Robert’s will strike again.
It’s the 9th, what’s the most wrong decision they can make? They’ll find one worse then that.
I think the churches made the right argument. They aren’t asking to be completely open, but that shouldn’t be a hard cap. Large cathedrals or mega churches only having 50 people in them doesn’t make sense. Cap at 50% capacity like everything else.

I read a great book of real bear stories and one of them was some campers waking up to find a passed out grizzly surrounded by about 40 empty bear cans. Interestingly, it only drank 1 of the light beers.
A quadruped after my own heart.
bear cans, I like it…..
+1 *golf clap*
beer cans – sheesh
Speaking of which, it’s about time for another beer run.
I saw nothing to indicate that those were anything more than well fed bears.
I have always been skeptical of the notion that 300 – 800lb animals (bears, cows, etc) would get drunk off of silage.
If it continues to ferment while they’re digesting it?
The problem is that most grains don’t have that much accessible sugar for wild yeasts to chow down on. We malt barley and then put it in a mash in order to change the starches into fermentable sugars. Corn has a pretty high sugar content, but my understanding is that it too gets converted into starch as it sits cut from the plant.
When an animal eats it, they are oxygenating it, so at first there is no anaerobic fermentation going on…And then, how much sugar is there to really ferment? Is the yeast even able to propagate in the stomach?
Ah. I’m one of the few non-brewers here so my familiarity is wikipedia level. How about if they stuffed themselves with fruit or honey? And honey? Cause where’s a bear gonna find that much honey in one sitting?
I assume Fourscore has a multilayer antibear defense net, so that’s out.
Huh. I thought they only ate plankton.
It depends on what type of whale. I believe the biggest whales do in fact only eat plankton, but some of the smaller species eat fish.
But whale sharks, despite being the biggest fish in the sea, have throats only as wide as a quarter.

A crazy leftist facederp “friend” just announced she’s voting for Jo. Judging on her previous posts, she shares no political beliefs with Jo. I can only assume she’s voting for her because she is a woman. Makes me wonder how many of those votes Jo will snag.
My son said he’s voting for her as well. I just told him that I haven’t checked her out yet, but I’m voting for bad orange man.
Don’t know anything about her personally, but her libertarian platform seems solid. And also completely irrelevant. The LP should be focused entirely on working from the bottom up. Maybe run a presidential candidate when you have thousands of elected officials around the country, not dozens.
My daughter did the same thing. These kids HATE what the dems did to Bernie…Actually, let me rephrase that. I think these kids have been told by influencers to hate what Biden did to Bernie.
In any case, I told my daughter to focus on the Libertarian platform, and to look at people local to her, and see if maybe she could learn anything about their plank.
I said it before, but if Jo were to strangely win, she would get even worse treatment than Trump. At least Trump had 1/3 of the GOP still supporting him.

Anyone yet explain why she left the relative safety of France, yet? Did she spot some Clintons around there?
She paid cash through an LLC for the 150 acre property they found her on. Comments led me to believe they’ve always known where she’s been.

Thank you for clarifying the reasoning behind the new rules that were just decreed. Now the science makes sense to me.
One of these followed me home from the gun store today.
My plan is to make this my new carry gun for the rare occasions I carry. My 1911 has developed problems and is at a smith. I also always considered it a bit bulky.
I like my CZ-75 full size but I wanted a decocker for the DA/SA.
After some thought, I decided on this.
Nice!
I have a P-07 that I keep in DA with the decocker. I’m not a great pistolero but I like it.
I’ve got one of those in .40. Nice gun with a slim grip for a double stack.
Cool. How’s the recoil with the .40?
A little snappy but no worse than a midsize Glock in the same caliber. They’re good pistols and the price is right too.
My normal carry pistol right now is a Springfield XD-E in a .45. It didn’t take me long to get used to the DA/SA, and my shots are consistent with either. Wanted to try the CZ, but I just couldn’t find one anywhere near me.
That said, if the 911 9mm comes back from Springfield with the failure to feed issues taken care of, it will likely replace the XD-E – it’s very easy to carry the 911 in a pocket holster and is much more comfy than the IWB rig I have…
I’m trying to decide between this https://www.sigsauer.com/store/p365-nitron-micro-compact.html or the FNH FN503. Both are on sale at our local store.

PA just got fucked
The state Supreme Court sided with Gov. Tom Wolf in his battle with the General Assembly over the state’s emergency declaration due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The high court ruled Wednesday the state General Assembly can’t act unilaterally to end Wolf’s emergency declaration. The court said the legislature can’t use unconstitutional means to overturn the governor’s decision to suspend laws, since the General Assembly already gave that power to the governor.
Cool link bro!
Screwed again by feckless Republicans who control both houses of the PA legislature. They failed to impeach the Supreme Court justices when they unconstitutionally redrew congressional district lines in 2018. They failed to change the laws giving governors this emergency power. They fucked the pension system back when Tom Ridge was governor in 2003 and have no appetite for reforming it now. Where’s all this getting them? Nowhere – because the RINOs in the suburbs are being picked off in bunches by actual Democrats.
Yep. Who needs Antifa?
Long live the King.
I got into it with a coworker today over this today.
She’s on board, and even said this should continue indefinitely when I said there probably won’t ever be a vaccine.
She heard about 2 people under 70 who are seriously sick with the rona, blah blah blah.
“The high court ruled Wednesday the state General Assembly can’t act unilaterally to end Wolf’s emergency declaration. ”
Unilaterally
Face palm
Can’t act “unilaterally” under the plain wording of the law that both the legislature passed and the governor signed. But the law itself that grants the governor unilateral power is perfectly ok.
There aren’t enough wood chippers in the world.
How could anyone write that sentence and not notice this?
It’s probably because the left started using unilateral as a synonym for bad when Bush unilaterally, with the consent of Congress, invaded Iraq.
And a bunch of other countries that spontaneously agreed to unilaterally act at the same time
Those countries didn’t matter if I remember the reasoning at the time.
That clusterfuck was as bipartisan and multilateral as it gets.
Well, fuck.
I figured they would fuck this up. The very same law that specifies “unconstitutional means” to end the emergency is the one that the governor gets his power from. I guess the court can rewrite the laws and the legislature can’t do jack shit about it without a veto-proof majority. Rule by arbitrary standards.
Why am I feeling we’re getting close to box four?

The Palmyra Italian eatery Taste of Sicily has now racked up $10,000 in fines for allowing customers to eat in their dining room before they moved to the “green” phase of the state’s reopening plan.
The restaurant’s owners showed themselves getting served the latest citation in a video posted to their Facebook page. Two inspectors from the Department of Agriculture enter the Main Street establishment and leave the $4,000 citation behind, without saying a word.
“Would you guys care to do an interview?” co-owner Christine Wartluft asks, while following the men to their car. “And you call yourselves an American, giving hard working people a fine? It’s ridiculous.”
I must say these Dept. of Ag inspectors must have a lot of courage if they are serving fines on a bunch of Sicilians.
Other than never getting involved in a land war in Asia, you NEVER go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

But man, can she cook, all the women in her family can.
I wish we were closer. We’d go have dinner there.
#metoo
If I still lived in PA, I’d be there often.
There’s a reason I made it a point to go to a local eatery that both stood behind an employee, and stretched the definition of patio as far as they could. In the before times, they had a good beer selection, but I felt the food was overpriced for what you got (and there were a large number of other options around).
I got dinner last night at a Nashua bar where virtually everyone does not wear a mask despite the Nashua mask mandate. While I was eating, a Nashua cop showed up to talk to the staff. The cop had a mask on, I didn’t have a mask on, the staff didn’t have masks on.
I didn’t hear everything the staff and the cop said, but it sounded like the staff gave the cop a phone number at some point.
I haven’t seen any news about mask mandate enforcement today. Hopefully that’s not what the visit was about, but I am a little worried.
Last time I went up to this establishment, even the staff had pretty much given up on masks. They’re still under mandate to wear them there. I’m getting really upset about the rumblings about shutting the states down (county by county this time) though.

Well, that didn’t take long.
Well, that didn’t take long. I post, you decide.
It rarely does.
Still, backing out slowly might have been much smarter than getting out of the car and pulling a gun.
Yeah, sure, just wait for the rest of the mob to show up.
I think there were only four people there. Well, five if you count the baby.
Well, she was singing the ‘I’m a beat your bitch ass’ mating song. Maybe there’s a waffle house across the street?
They would have gotten bumped, “injured,” and hello lawsuit. Agreed it wasn’t the smartest course of action because of what could have happened but she was released without charges and it all worked out for the best.
What the left and the media have done to improve race relations is truly astounding. Soon, we’ll be more segregated than we were in 1850.
They were spoiling for a confrontation and sorely need some impulse control. Acting like that is just asking to get shot if done to the wrong person.
Having adversarial confrontations with strangers is a very, very bad idea unless you are looking to get your ass handed to you. I dont care who or how tough you are, that is going to happen sooner or later.
Kid I went to school with was #2 karate fighter in the world. He lost the #1 by a hair in Seoul, Korea in….uh…’83? ’84?
They used to put him in exhibitions where he would whip the shit out of guys twice his size and weight. He would go out on weekends and kick the hell out of the local toughs for fun. He was a real badass.
The last words he heard were “I know who you are”. The last sound he heard was a shotgun blast.
When I was in the military, a friend of mine and I were parked at bar. A couple seats down from us was a guy that boxed on the post. Poorly. He was getting his ass whipped more often than not. Some random guy (not a boxer, but Im assuming followed the sport) pretty drunk, walked up and started talking shit. Boxer guy told him more than once to take a hike, he was having a quiet drink- possibly lamenting his most recent asswhoop. Drunk guy didnt want to listen, and this escalated to he either shoved or poked boxer guy. Within a matter of just a couple seconds, I heard what could have been a 2×4 breaking, and saw loud-mouth on the floor. Just like in a western, boxer dude sat down to his beer & shot, while loudmouth’s friends dragged him out.
My friend that was next to me elbowed me and said, “See? Even a shitty boxer is a really good fighter.”
But to address your point- even the best fighter isnt bulletproof.
I can’t reply to tres cool below directly but i had a kind of similar experience once in JC.
Long story short this guy was giving me shit in a pizzeria. I tried to ignore him until he got too close for comfort and put his hand on.my shoulder.
Next thing I know he’s on the floor and I’m smashing him in the face with one of those heavy napkin holders pizzerias have.
Then i sat back down and finished my slice.
This. The idea that anything that has gone on for the last month and continues to go on is making things “better” is absolutely absurd.
“Eye for an eye, leaves the whole world blind.” Unless you’re a silver spoon like Gavin Newsom or something, everybody’s got a legit gripe with the world. An endless cascade of “settling scores” leads to misery.
One thing we know for sure after the Seattle thing is that once they go to the politicians’ neighborhood that shit gets shut down fast.
Why, that is a very different story than I heard before.
Shocking isn’t it. Why did they arrest her and take here gun?
If someone makes a complaint that you menaced them with a gun the cops are going to arrest you, take your gun and then the investigation proceeds from there. It looks like in this case they got it right.
FOX 2 Detroit reported that the white woman was arrested and her gun was taken away. She was later released.
Did she get her gun back?
There are tons of people out there trying to 1) get their video to go viral by setting up a situation like the Karen the Dog Walker or Karen the BLM Bitch and cashing in on the money or 2) Threaten people that they have such a video and use that to blackmail a person into paying them money.
I am betting this is #2- the fact that the couple got into the car, and the car started backing out, only for the woman to run behind the car and act like she was going to be hit, tells me that they are straight up grifters.
I stumbled into the beyond section of Wikipedia again:

Jiraiya (自来也 or 児雷也, literally “Young Thunder”[1]), originally known as Ogata Shuma Hiroyuki, is the toad-riding character of the Japanese folklore Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari (児雷也豪傑物語, “The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya”).
…
n the legend, Jiraiya is a ninja who uses shapeshifting magic to morph into a gigantic toad. As the heir of the mighty Ogata clan in Kyūshū, Jiraiya fell in love with Tsunade (綱手), a beautiful young maiden who has mastered slug magic.

Maiden of Slug Magic.
Hmm, good band name

Pretty sure I saw “Maiden of Slug Magic” open for L7 back in the day.
Or maybe that was an L7 song.
Can I root for everyone (except the private business and their employees) getting fucked over this?

Sorry dipshit, you’re a state employee. If your employer says masks are part of the uniform just like your shirt or badge, that’s it. Quit if you don’t like it. I’m tired of this more animals are equal bullshit.
I am torn. Is this a ‘some animals are more equal than others’ situation or do we need more cops that understand what ‘inalienable rights’ mean?
I need more info.
Since they wear uniform shirts, shoes, and whatever else their employer tells them to like how their hair should be styled, this isn’t an inalienable right. Fuck em. Quit or be fired.
If it was cops refusing to enforce an unconstitutional law against private parties, that would be one thing. But it isn’t. And they’re putting liability onto the business.
Hell, for all they know, if the business didn’t ask them to put on masks as per the cops’ bosses’ order, it could be a sting operation.
I had not thought of it like that…you are correct.
My instinct was to see ‘mandatory mask’ and reflex with ‘the fuck you say’. That is the lazy, half-drunk me.
“My instinct was to see ‘mandatory mask’ and reflex with ‘the fuck you say’. That is the lazy, half-drunk me.”

I gave up on Platform once they sold out. But are you up in Put in Bay?
Actually I’ve never been:)!
I’ve been several times. It’s a terrible, terrible place that everyone should visit back in their 20’s. Just realize you can get an OVI on a bicycle or a golf cart, and walk everywhere.
People don’t go there for any reason other then to drink too much, listen to shitty music, and enjoy themselves.

So you are saying the Democrats are still mad?
To me it’s not really about the statues. It’s about temporary servants just doing whatever the fuck they please while holding up their finger to any residents of the city who may not agree. Tyranny of the mob is ugly.
It is about the ideas that the statues represent. It is a full-on assault of the ideas the country was founded on. If they win we will be back to straight up chattel slavery.
We’re living inside 1984 and Animal Farm.
The only statues I’m seeing some pushback on are Columbus statues. Interesting, that.
Didn’t they remove the Columbus statue from Columbus, Ohio this week?
Ah, the statue that was paid for by actual freed slaves. Makes perfect sense.

Galil Ace Close up
Looks similar to an AK.
Israeli ripoff of the AK.
The main difference is that the Galil has a greater distance between the front and rear sights, which improves accuracy.
***
Unlike the AK, the Galil featured a milled receiver, better sights, a flash hider and accuracy the AK could only sniff at. Despite all of these improvements, the Galil wasn’t perfect. While the milled steel receiver made it tough and accurate, it was heavy; the gun weighed in at up to 9.6 pounds.

“Superiority” is a science fiction short story by British writer Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 1951. It depicts an arms race during an interstellar war. It shows the side which is more technologically advanced being defeated, despite its apparent superiority, because of its willingness to discard old technology without having fully perfected the new. Meanwhile, the enemy steadily built up a far larger arsenal of weapons that while more primitive were also more reliable. The story was at one point required reading for an industrial design course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1]

Simple = efficient = effective
There is nothing you can do to a gun that will not improve it’s accuracy over an AK. Have you ever shot one of those things?
The SKS was a far superior weapon. The 7.62×39 round is very effective out to about 300 yards, after that….not so much.
I have a Zastava, which is a Serbian variant of the AK in 5.56. The sights are basically worthless. I shoot more accurately from the hip with it.
Fun fact: it’s classified as a handgun even though it shoots a rifle round. Thanks, Republic of Texas!
The Tavor (5.56 bull-pup rifle) is my favorite Israeli gun. I shot an Uzi at the Vegas Machine Gun Experience a few years ago and that was fun too.

No, you are not. 9 hours of Historical Geology done learned me that every life form you have ever seen or imagined has been tried ten times over, and a lot more you haven’t seen or thought of.
Hell, just in the last month I described my recent encounters with critters I have never seen before and I have spent a lifetime in the outdoors here in Louisiana. Spiders, wasps, moths and a snake I could not identify.

Whittington’s first presentation about Opabinia made the audience laugh.[35] The reconstruction showed a soft-bodied animal with a slim, segmented body; a pair of flap-like appendages on each segment with gills above the flaps; five stalked eyes; a backward-facing mouth under the head; and a long, flexible, hose-like proboscis that extended from under the front of the head and ended in a “claw” fringed with spines. Whittington concluded that it did not fit into any phylum known in the mid-1970s.[36] Opabinia was one of the main reasons why Stephen Jay Gould in his book Wonderful Life considered that Early Cambrian life was much more diverse and “experimental” than any later set of animals, and that the Cambrian explosion was a truly dramatic event, possibly driven by unusual evolutionary mechanisms.[37] He regarded Opabinia as so important to understanding this phenomenon that he originally wanted call his book Homage to Opabinia.[38] However subsequent research has concluded that Opabinia is closely related to the arthropods and possibly even closer to ancestors of the arthropods.[39]
The discovery of Anomalocaris (“abnormal shrimp”) was a comedy of errors.[40] The name was initially given to a fossil that looked like the rear end of a shrimp-like crustacean. Walcott classified a ring-like fossil he called Peytoia as a kind of jellyfish, and another poorly preserved fossil he called Laggania as a holothurian (sea cucumber).[40] After many plot twists, Derek Briggs started dissecting another ill-defined fossil in very thin slices and found a pair of Anomalocaris-like structures on one end of a specimen of Laggania, which also had a specimen of Peytoia attached just behind those of Anomalocaris. After dissecting more specimens and finding similar configurations, Briggs and Whittington concluded that the whole assemblage represented a single animal, which was named Anomalocaris because that was the earliest name assigned to any of its parts. This animal’s body was fragile and usually disintegrated before it could be fossilized.[40] But the complete animal had tough grasping appendages (Anomalocaris), a tough, ring-like mouth with teeth on the inner edge (Peytoia) and a long, segmented body (Laggania) with flaps on the sides that enabled it to swim with a Mexican wave motion, and perhaps to turn quickly by putting the flaps on one side into reverse.[40][41] This monster was over 2 feet (0.61 m) long when other animals were only a few inches at most.[41][42] Nedin suggested in 1999 that the animal was capable of taking heavily armored trilobites apart, possibly by grabbing one end of their prey in their jaws while using their appendages to quickly rock the other end of the animal back and forth, causing the prey’s exoskeleton to rupture and allowing the predator to access its innards.

If you really like this subject you should take a Florida vacation and dont forget to bring your dive card. Try doing some drift dives down nearly any river there and spend some time in the deeper holes picking through the deposits there. You will find a wealth of both marine and land fossils…everything from sharks teeth to elephant bones.
I missed it by an inch….I dont know how. One of my brother’s co-workers found a 18″ pre-columbian dagger carved from mammoth ivory in the Santa Fe….I had just looked over the spot two minutes earlier where he found it and I missed it.

Watching these clips of Biden, and the faces of the people taking to him, knowing they are dealing with their old neighbor.
Nothing wrong with being old, but maybe it’s time to retire and relax at home.
I sometimes feel guilty for having mocked Biden, who is now senile and has experienced various tragedies as well as overcoming a stutter. On the other hand, he is a career politician who has flip-flopped shamelessly, said numerous stupid things, and used his connections to get various sweetheart deals for his family.
History’s greatest monster? No, but not a paragon of virtue either. I’d say overall he’s below average in the decency department even compared to other politicians.
He’s a nasty, vindictive prick that hides his contempt for the average person by pretending he’s one of them. Other than that, he’s fine.

This statue did not topple itself.
People reported seeing what appeared to be a bronze statue of the deceased pedophile placed in front of Albuquerque’s old city hall, according to a report by KOAT.
Below the statue was a plaque, which read:
The plaque then went on to list several court cases involving the late disgraced financier and his victims. And at the bottom, there was a statement, which read, “Generously provided to Bernalillo County by The Antlion Entertainment ‘Art’ Collective.”
The erection of the controversial Epstein statue arrives in the wake of statues of non-controversial figures being toppled by protesters across the country — such as first U.S. president George Washington and former president and Union Army General during the Civil War Ulysses S. Grant.
Is what got him in trouble in the first place.
