There's a doctor who studied the correlation between keto and cholesterol who also found that a lot of high cholesterol can also be traced to inflammation from dental infections too. Weird how many things it can affect, huh?

...but that only made her sad as her meth-addled brain tried to count how many times she'd already done that to make her hairstyling dream come true.

And as the little blue pill started taking effect, I notice the 12 pack of Bud Light in "her" fridge.

It'd sell faster if it was hanging sideways in what I've learned to be the "you betta check yoself fool" orientation.

What a story, Lucky. I'm so glad your wife is on the mend. Glory be to God

Be honest, you got the decoder ring and memorized the secret handshake when you joined.

I never understood this either. I've honestly wondered if the conspiracy theories about big alcohol keeping it suppressed were true.

By the time my wife and I could afford to eat at swanky places like this that we'd heard of for years, most were closed down.

Sounds like this qanon outfit would be the laughing stock at the Annual Boogeyman Convention. Hypothetical question: say I have a friend and he believes Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself and there really was an island where sketchy stuff was going on with the elites. Does that mean maybe my friend drank the Q KoolAid and didn't even know it?

Man, that's exactly the place I was trying to think of too. I would have bet money that's the one he was thinking of.

I've heard of it, but didn't think it was real. Kind of like the Illuminati or the mafia. I'm not trying to pretend it isn't real, in the same way some Brandon is trying to pretend ANTIFA isn't real. I really thought it was just some nonsense made up to put all conservatives in a bucket.

I sincerely thought you were talking about the Q in the alphabet people list.

Our first has been joined by a 2nd, but I've yet to see either of them. My daughter is outside all the time and sees them, but they're gone before I can get out to see them.

I have the Perun 2 mini and it's a good headlamp. The full sized Perun 2 is a bit large for a headlamp, IMHO. It's almost as big as that Warrior 3.

I got the Perun 2 full size during a recent sale and it's got similar max lumens and the same proximity sensor. It lights up my whole back yard like it's daylight.

Great gun! I have one too. In case anyone didn't know, they take standard CZ 75 mags too. That was a HUGE selling point for me because they're easy to find and cheap. GLWS

Excellent point!!! I suspect the social media giants will wield their might to stop this. Kids will cry. Parents will think the gov't is trying to usurp their authority. Maybe Hot Wheels and Barbie dolls will sell more now and/or kids will ride bikes and play outside. Who knows?

I read this today about banning social media to kids: https://www.allsides.com/story/technology-new-bipartisan-bill-would-ban-kids-under-13-social-media The Details: The Protecting Kids on Social Media Act, introduced by Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Tom Cotton (R-AK), would set a minimum age of 13 to use social media apps, and would require parental consent for kids ages 13-17 to use social media. It would also require platforms to adopt new age verification measures in a program overseen by the Department of Commerce, and would ban companies from using algorithms to recommend content for users under 18.

I have that proximity sensor on a few of my Olights too. I really like that feature. As far as the risk goes, I think it's overblown. I wonder how many people who won't own a Chinese flashlight are driving vehicles made in America that have had fatal design flaws over the years that have been corrected just like Olight did.

The private version has been working fine since 2017 if your bank was willing to participate. When I think of how big this IT project is, I'm terrified of all the bugs, traps, and backdoors there will be.

Wait, are you telling me it was all fake? Well, at least I still have Santa Clause and professional rasslin to believe in.

OOOPS, got beat to the punch by @Garufa I hope it was this guy!!

@MacGyver The good teachers, like your wife, aren't getting the credit they deserve. The whack jobs we see on the news get all the attention. Like any group, the bad apples always spoil the barrel.

I agree with that statement, but that's not the bill of goods being delivered. In my opinion only one leg of that stool is doing their job most of the time. Too many parents are guilty of treating the school like a babysitter and only poking their nose in when something they don't like happens. Thank God for the good parents who pay attention and keep the school in check though. Without concerned parents look at that sketchy stuff they've tried to sneak into their curriculum. Luckily, most teachers are good, but the ones who put their personal agenda ahead of educating kids should be run out of the profession. Sadly, it's not happening because the fox (liberal bureaucrats and college professors teaching the teachers) is in charge of watching the hen house.

I'm not laughing at all. I learn about news stories that interest me 9 times out of 10 here first. Most of what gets skipped here is news I don't care about. Like @gregintenn said, I hear different viewpoints here too. At least they're as wide of a host of viewpoints as I can tolerate.
