Also a lot of the heat will come from your own humid exhaled breath. Find a way to vent that more completely

In an attempt to blunt the response to these hearings and distract from the damning testimony, Trump has accelerated his campaign planning and is likely to announce he’s running soon (per fivethirtyeight)

Word salad nonsense

No, not unless it’s on-topic and furthers discussion of said topic. As this is a thread on consciousness, your question has no place here. This question specifically:

Magic eraser? Acetone? Gasoline or other solvent?

Gripping and explosive

Whatever the reason, is a good thing

Russian missiles hit a shopping mall with over 1,000 civilians inside today

The committee was not scheduled to meet again until July, but it seems they’ve obtained some sort of new evidence and rather abruptly have scheduled a new previously unscheduled hearing for tomorrow (Tuesday)

Another way to say this is that it’s an emotionally manipulative exceedingly rare edge case where we all mostly already agree anyway regardless of which stance we take overall (life/choice).

I’m reminded of the BLM protests. One group asks for agents of the state to stop murdering black people so often. The other group ignores that issue entirely trying to get us to focus instead on the one guy in Portland who broke a window while out among the other tens of thousands of peaceful protestors. Good times.

Russia is making steady progress grabbing more control of the east and causing Ukrainian soldiers to withdraw and then there’s this: Russian missiles hit an apartment block and kindergarten in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv today.

Indeed. Endorphins are very powerful. I’ve been growing my own selection of peppers and fermenting them into a mash base that I put on nearly everything. Absent that, Sriracha is like my ketchup. 🌶 No thanks. I love spicy food, but not so much that you can’t taste anything else… for a week. My BIL grew those last year and couldn’t even really cook with them. It was a waste, but YMMV

Gerrymandering makes this unlikely. Voting district lines have been drawn in such a way that this probably actually helps them since their base has become so homogenized due to gerrymandering.

The Biden administration is actively seeking to expand Title IX regulations that seek to prevent harassment and discrimination in sports, but while they touch peripherally on the topic of sexual identity and gender, they mostly side step the central trans participation issue we've been discussing here. Some say banning trans kids is about keeping girls sports fair, while others say it's solution in search of a problem since there are so exceedingly few examples of trans kids competing in sports across the US (and those who do are already doing so within local guidelines and policies). https://time.com/6190460/title-ix-changes-biden-trans-athletes/ Here's the letter: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/t9nprm.pdf

I believe that distinction is both relevant and necessary since the original question was whether congress could bring charges and enforce jail time against January 6 insurrectionists... unless you're suggesting those who stormed the capitol are being held in contempt for their treason?

I didn't realize there was such overlap btw dad jokes and nerdy physics humor. Well played lol

Yore not alone, especially after these last few years. The pandemic and breaking of social norms and related ignorance in politics (but mostly having to stay home during the pandemic) has caused depression frequency and intensity to surge. Councilors appointment books are overflowing and even they themselves are feeling the effects. You’re not alone. Getting out in nature, walking, sunlight etc all definitely help, and the hike you’re taking could turn into a two-fer if you happen to walk through cattle fields and maybe find those shroomies you seek.

Cool

Last times, plural. But sure… blame us. That works, too.

Shortening of telomeres during replication and division at chromosomal level leads to increased failure rate in foundational autonomic systems required to sustain life.

In other "I guess it's better than nothing, is still no where near enough, and also still isn't officially done" news... Last night, 14 GOP senators joined all 50 democratic senators to allow a "procedural" vote to let a vote occur on the floor around July 4 to slightly expand background checks, give money to states who implement red flag laws, and which helps close the boyfriend loophole (abusive husbands and domestic partners can have their gun rights curtailed if they beat their wife, but boyfriends never faced that same restriction and were one of the most common reasons women were killed during domestic disputes). So, super light... and still not certain... but better than nothing (which is about what we've come to expect from the US congress.... a whole lot of nothing but bickering and peacocking most of the time.

I’d have to respect you in order for you to make me upset.
