Participant[quote=svelte]When I was growing up, my father used to advocate doing away with the fire department.
His reasoning was that, for the amount we paid for firemen and fire equipment, we could replace every building that burned down and have money left over.
The fallacy in that position is that if it weren’t for fire departments and firemen, many more buildings would burn down and no doubt cost far more in life and property loss than what we pay for the fire department.
Think about that when you hear arguments about how low the death toll is so we should do away with restrictions. There is an analogy there…[/quote]
Yeah reminds me of that Head and Shoulders
Shampoo commercial:“You use Head and Shoulders? But wait, you don’t have dandruff…

Cali paying cash to illegal immigrants. #816493Participant[quote=spdrun]So instead of spending half a trillion a year murdering people in countries not worth our time, we’d be spending money on healthcare, education, infrastructure, and other nice things? if that’s socialism, count me in.[/quote]
Nothing wrong with socialism. In fact, a great thing to have around for those times
When wall st. capitalists cry for a bailout.April 15, 2020 at 9:15 PM in reply to: Are you f-ing kidding me ? Cali paying cash to illegal immigrants. #816490ParticipantRelax this is peanuts compared to what will be siphoned off under the table from the stimulus/socialism package.
ParticipantSounds like there will be civil unrest soon.
ParticipantParticipant[quote=svelte]oh this is all starting to feel like a machiavellian scheme from mother nature…
Americans isolated which brought the CV cases way way down.
Now Trump has two choices:
1. Keep the lockdown going into or through May and absolutely crush the economyor
2. Get America back to work in May and see deaths skyrocket and fear set in again.
And only 7 months to go to election election day.
The Democrats could never have cooked up something this evil. I bow to Mother Nature’s cunning brilliance![/quote]
States are taking the lead, as they have from the beginning because the Federal Gov. was good for sh!t.
ParticipantWithout empirical evidence I do believe that your body heals better without ice but how long can we go without use of the affected area? Say I sprain a finger- I decide not to ice, it swells up. I keep using that finger- will the constant squishing and irritation make it worse than if I had prevented/mitigated swelling?
ParticipantIs there going to be a meat shortage soon?

Should get fun if they don’t.
Regardless, none of this is tyranny.[/quote]
I always find it ironic that none of the major religions have anything resembling a bill of rights or protection against arbitrary judgement.
Participant[quote=teaboy]Rice heating pad or another type? What’s the consensus on the best type?
Also, what’s ur opinion on ice-ing painful joints? I’ve never been able to find any scientific literature on why ice-ing is beneficial.
Since inflammation & swelling are the body’s natural response to injury (honed thru evolution) doing anything to prevent/reduce that response seems counterintuitive to me.tb[/quote]
The regime for athletes has for the most part been ice immediately after activity and heat the next day for residual pain.
For me as a weekend warrior this seems to work well. The use of ice would depend on what your goals are.
Professional athletes all seem to use the full body ice bath – I have seen a few
mentions over the years that doing this after a workout will hinder muscle gain.
Me I just wanna feel good enough to workout again the next day so I stick to icing immediately for joint/muscle pain then heat afterwards.Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=outtamojo]Turns out we didn’t need to depend on China to tell us about COVID19- we ALREADY KNEW. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources-080111894–abc-news-topstories.html
[/quote]Of course.
The huge irony about those who say “China should have been more transparent” is that they have been claiming since 1949 that “Communist China is not to be trusted” — yes, literally since 1949, Henry Luce being the most prominent personality.[/quote]
Had I access to that report I may have sold all my stock holdings.

Participantthe commander in chief should quit worrying about how things look and fix his chain of command. What made crozier feel like he had to use other channels? Unresponsive leadership needs to be canned.
