Any of my Republican friends want to take a wild guess as to why the Dow is surging today? Is it because Trump's de-regulation----even though not one poster can name a Federal Reg that was pulled that helps their business in a meaningful way? Or is it because we just borrowed $1.9 Trillion, and are...

Not one single elected official BELIEVES the lie. But they're more than happy to repeat it....

I'm not sure, there are a few new House members who may actually believe it.

Method acting.

In the end, sure, we saw color but it did not divide us. It started turning south towards the middle/late 80's when drug dealing/hustling went crazy. Another way to put that is: it started to turn south when racist drug policies treated drugs blacks Americans used and drugs white Americans used ent...

Wow. What the <insert word> are you trying to do?

If you are going to troll, at least get the name right.

Now, researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) in Japan and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany have found that a group of genes that reduces the risk of a person becoming seriously ill with COVID-19 by around 20% is inherited...

Yeah, that's my answer and I made it perfectly clear as to why. Doc and I have a long history, and while we might not agree on much we communicate just fine with one another, don't need any help or officiating from you. Taking it to PM with you is no different that putting it out right here so let'...

Guess which haplogroups don’t have any (or very few) Neanderthal genes?

To phrase this in the Texas vernacular, Abbott “couldn’t pour p?ss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel”. That and I’m pretty sure he knows exactly who this decision will disproportionately impact. Someone needs to scrape him off Texas’s sole. And soul...

Anyone here on this site on this list? “New York state, for example, is home to 53 of the signed-up Three Percenters – more than 11% of the total members on the site – and 17 members are resident in and around Saint Lawrence county, in the state’s far north on the Canadian border.” Hope not; pretty ...

“The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”. — Yeats

Now it is the American way?

Just a thought. Did we really achieve independence from Great Britain? We copied their methods and made the same mistakes...

Sounds like my kind of guy. “Although Boyd Tonkin of The Independent criticized Taleb’s style as "vulgar, silly, slapdash and infuriating", of the ideas in the book he remarked "time and again I returned to two questions about his core ideas: Is he right, and does it matter? My verdic...

So here we are: “Situation in which the manager of a business is not the true owner, so he follows a strategy that cosmetically seems to be sound, but in a hidden way benefits him and makes him antifragile at the expense (fragility) of the true owners or society. When he is right, he collects large ...

If you haven’t, I’d encourage you to check out a couple of books by a dude named Nassim Nicholas Taleb called The Black Swan and Antifragile. Suspect you’d enjoy them. I love the guy. Based on your comments, particularly Antifragile but Black Swan should kind for be read first IMO. Really Taleb wro...

The people in Houston never forget it either. For many it’s the worst loss in Houston sports history. The Oilers losing to the Bills with a 32 pt lead in the second half would garner a lot of votes for the worst but as that was just a wild card game and the UH loss was for the championship, gotta g...
