    Where are all the fiscal conservatives?

    I then asked Claude to factor in our $40 trillion debt, and got this response: _______________________________________________ Good timing on this question — the debt just crossed $40 trillion this week, as of Treasury data released Wednesday. Here's how that changes the "richest ever" picture...

    Where are all the fiscal conservatives?

    Not a bad argument. We clearly have the most money of any nation, and we are the country everyone else wants to trade with. But is that sufficient to make us the richest in the world? We used to make more stuff and most of the best stuff. China has clearly surpassed us in volume. What about...

    Better Than a Gun?

    I ran across this YT video. As a good liberal I thought I should share it here. Here's the list of the gunpowderless weapons he reviews (from the video, without his links): 10 - Cold Steel Brooklyn Smasher 9 - Vipertek VTS-989 Stun Gun 8 - Crosman Full Auto R1 CO2 BB Rifle 7 - Umarex T4E...

    Where are all the fiscal conservatives?

    We're the richest nation in the history of the world. OF COURSE WE CAN AFFORD IT. What I suspect you mean is that you, personally, don't want to afford it. Which is a perspective you are certainly entitled to hold.

    I need a WOB ruling

    Thanks for that correction - want of bees instead of want of be. One of my favorites is "take for granite" - which seems plausible because we take for granted things that seem set in stone. I think that superficial plausibility is what makes many of the best WOBs so enjoyable.

    I need a WOB ruling

    One of the annoyances of getting old is that I'm always hearing words misused. But too often, when I look them up, I find the "misuse" has become an accepted alternative. I blame a lot of that on sports "journalists". They're the worst. "Fortuitous" is one such word. It used to mean...

    Who's On GLP-1?

    I would hope more demand would raise production and bring the price down. We'll see. If insurance will pay inflated prices, will prices stay inflated?

    Who's On GLP-1?

    A reasonable concern, although Kate Beckinsale territory definitely floats my boat.

    Who's On GLP-1?

    Great success story. I hope you can get back to the better weight and A1C range. My doc wrote me a script for Ozempic but I didn't get it because it was $435 per month, wasn't expected to show results for the first month or 2, and was said to be likely to cause GI distress (which I don't...

    Ending The Electoral College

    Alternatively, big states like CA or TX could just divide into several separate states. Thereby gaining a lot of seats in the Senate. If CA split into 10 states, it would jump from having 2% of the power in the Senate (2 out of 100 votes) to having 17% (20 out of 118). Unlike the...

    Ending The Electoral College

    Do we actually need more people in the House or just more proportional voting? We could, for example, let every State elect up to 5 Representatives, who then have to decide how to allocate that state's population-based percentage of the total House vote. So, maybe CA gets 115 votes out of a...

    Cuss More to Fight Pain

    Only Genuine Swear Words Work These findings come from psychologists at Keele University who tested the impact of swear words by measuring the pain threshold of 92 participants who agreed to plunge...

    I need a WOB ruling

    Yep. Lots of WOBs are homophone-based.
  14. What Would Jesus Do?

    I need a WOB ruling

    Disappointing that Wikipedia (I assume) doesn't list the real meaning of WOB. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but WOB arose on the Iowa board a couple of decades ago when someone who wanted to say "wannabe" instead said "want of be". Hilarity ensued and WOB was invented to cover this class of...
