Seattle Police officers pulled "The Lunge" on me causing an instinctual step backwards they use as evidence of resisting, and without a word spoken in rushed half a dozen officers to take me down, knee to the neck and everything. My training taught me to never show fear for it stokes sadism. I was matter of fact with them that I wasn't resisting and that with all the weight they had on me it was making it difficult to breathe. I also learned that the plastic window coverings at King County Jail have awesome acoustics.
yea, if they're so confident about how massive their win was, open it up. Get loud and proud, shout it, stuff the ballots in our faces.
People shutting down any discussion only proves the point of at least a cover up, but more likely massive widespread corruption and no one doing anything about it only emboldens them. Same "we found more ballots" happened in 2018, proves they could do it and get away with it.
willie959, I agree that no consequences for their acts emboldens them, you see it in everything they do. And I agree, there could not be many, if any, Biden voters, mudflap. Who is that brain dead?
the irony of neil’s tweet is that by framing science itself as “true” he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma. no matter his intent, this message isn’t helpful
Science is a process not a set of facts. Yes the process is "true" in as much as it is correct, but that's not to suggest the results are ever complete. Newtonian physics made good predictions as long as you don't approach light speed. General relatively makes good predictions as long as you are on certain scales, at very small scales (quantum) it fails, and there are some hints that it may not do so well at very large scales. So we go on to try to bring these together and come up with a new even better theory but at some point that will undoubtably break down and something else will follow it, and so it goes indefinitely.
Listening to CBC radio, they are telling people to wear sunscreen. 99% of people who end up in the ICU with Covid-19 are vitamin D3 deficient. Vitamin D3 is mostly made in the skin in response to UV light. This is NOT the time for sunscreen.
Unfortunately, the climate and latitude of Canada makes the sun kind of tricky. We just had 6-8 months of winter where your skin has turned white from no sun and wearing clothes. Now you want to be outside so much that it causes a sunburn pretty easily. Going from 0-100 is not fun for your body.
I think a blend would be helpful. Maybe 30 minutes of nude/semi-nude sunbathing and then lather up the sunscreen after that. I never had much of a problem with sunburns when I lived in Texas on my face and other areas. Now that I'm up near Canada, I'm having a lot of problems with sunburns.
The 'tactical' problem in South Africa, in Europe and in America, is one and the same: The State. Everything leads back to The State, and The State leads back to a conspiracy that may involve Jews, Jesuits and Chinese, maybe space aliens for all I know, but that depends on members of the own nation, that is the 'ethnic' nation, the actual nation, that are by personality traitors. These two things are the sum of the problem.
Yes, I am not denying anything about Jewish prevalence in USA and its politics, also informally in 'NGO' nonsense stuff. Had the colonists been nationalist, then Jews would not be permitted to do what they do. In 1814, the constituting paper document here in Norway, specified that Jews and Jesuits were not permitted on the territory...
This is insightful 'mind control', based on studying human nature, and then consequently using tactics that work... You know of Edward Bernays.
Being called a Nazi is not a magic poison arrow to the heart. The reply could be: thank you for sharing, what do you mean by 'Nazi'? Not beliggerent or 'rhetorical', but simply keeping on the conversation, 'in honor'. If you follow these mind tricks down whatever path they lead, these people always lose.
Their tricks are based on false facades we are expected and assumed not to look behind... There is nothing behind the facade, except things that put them 'in dishonor'. And then you just take a sip of your tea, and enjoy your day. They depend on thinking, analysis of language and psychology. It's possible to match that bullshit.

Got a call today for a service that we had scheduled are being told they cant find workers. Been hearing this for a long time. At the same now the government takes your money to create " temporary" jobs and also at the same time basically encourage people not to work!
About have the voters in this country voted for such nonsense.
Listening to BBC news, Ted Volker former diplomat, talking about US involvement in Ukraine and one thing they mentioned is the possibility of US providing Patriot Missile system.
Knowing that Biden owns a large amount of stock in Raytheon I wondered, who makes Patriot Missiles? Guess who! Raytheon!
#Bicycles. (4 photos) Trondheim CycloCable Trondheim, Norway The world's first and only escalator for lazy bicycles and their daunted riders.
ANYONE WHO HAS RIDDEN THEIR bike in a city for any amount of time has run across that steep hill which looks like it would be impossible to surmount, but in the case of Trondheim, Norway’s Brubakken Hill, riders have nothing to fear thanks to the city’s unique CycloCable.
First introduced in 1993 as the “Trampe,” the bike escalator was invented by a Trondheim cyclist who was simply tired of exhausting himself climbing the hill to work each morning. To fix this issue, he developed a system by which, at the push of a button, a footplate emerges from a track in the ground to push riders up the hill. A cyclist, staying on their bike, places their right foot on the plate and it ferries both the cyclist and their ride all the way up before disappearing back into the track.
The first version of the lift was taken out in 2012 and replaced with an updated version in 2013 going by the sleek new name of “CycloCable.” The new escalator included a number of safety improvements and a promotional push to increase interest in cycling in the city. The system is also being shopped to other major cities around the world so the strange lift may become more commonplace in the future. However, the prohibitive cost of the rail system (between $2,400 and $3,200 a yard) might keep the system limited to Trondheim.
Each day the lift is used as a commuter transportation by travelers on bikes, riding their strollers or scooters, really anything with wheels that can support a rider. However, the question remains: why they didn’t simply install an escalator?
I remember rope lifts at ski areas, where you grabbed the rope and got pulled up the hill for your next run. They offered similar function at a fraction of the price.
Hot damn this article makes me so freaking mad! Cyclists are lazy because they want a bit help getting up this hill that is hard to even walk. And oh my it costs a whopping three grand a yard. But nobody blinks an eye when we build a tunnel through a mountain that costs 20 times more per yard so that "not at all lazy" drivers can be seated in comfy chairs not moving a single muscle while traveling through a completely flat road.
#Bicycles. (3 photos) The Pasadena Veloway Los Angeles, California A Bicycle Path in the Sky.
IN 1897, PASADENA MAYOR HORACE Dobbins was struck with a can’t-miss idea: he would build an elevated toll bikeway from the Hotel Green to downtown Los Angeles. In that golden age of bicycling, the idea seemed a logical solution to the transportation problems that already plagued Southern California. Riders would pay a nickel to whisk down the wooden highway which was set to run along the Arroyo Seco, as the Arroyo Parkway does today.
Dobbins could not have foreseen that another visionary in Detroit, Michigan was developing a machine that would make his Veloway obsolete: the Model T automobile. With the rise of the car, bicycling became less popular, and in the end, only 3 miles of the bikeway were completed.
Eventually even those 3 miles of elevated paths fell victim to progress, as the Southern Pacific Railway purchased the right of way in a hostile takeover, and the bikeway was demolished.
Today however the idea of connecting Pasadena and LA by bikeway has been realized in the form of the Arroyo Seco Greenway Project. You can currently ride a piece of the way on the bottom of the cement-lined Arroyo Seco stream, though further development was halted by environmental concerns.
Great! Just was watching a documentary where the inhabitants of a small towns in southwest Germany did protest against a "highway for bicycles" towards (Daimler country's Capital of) Stuttgart....
#Restaurants. (3 photos) Heaven On Seven Chicago, Illinois Hidden on the 7th floor of a historic building, this Cajun spot features wall-to-wall bottles of hot sauce.
NAMED BOTH FOR ITS UNUSUAL location—on the seventh floor of downtown Chicago’s historic Garland Building, which was built in the early 1900s—and for the aromas and tastes that greet diners, Heaven On Seven has been serving Cajun fare for decades. Its most distinctive feature, though, are the hot sauces that cover the tables and even the walls.
The restaurant did not feature a hot-sauce collection when chef-owner Jimmy Bannos and his family took over the eatery in 1980, which served Jewish deli foods. But when a cousin married into a family from Mississippi, Bannos told Serious Eats, they were introduced to stuffed crabs and catfish and smothered steaks. Soon enough, they were selling popular gumbos in Chicago and substituting smoked Polish sausage for andouille sausage (which wasn’t yet available).
Rave reviews are common for the jambalaya, gumbo, étouffée, fried catfish, and shrimp & grits, and Heaven on Seven serves more than 20 kinds of po’boys. The restaurant also offers a full breakfast menu, stacked with pancake and waffle choices (including bananas foster), and copious omelet and poached-egg choices. Bannos is known for his use of spices and seasonings to create dishes that are spicy without being overbearing, and Heaven on Seven is one of those places that manages to be popular with both tourists and locals.
Of course, for anyone looking for overbearing spiciness, there’s plenty of hot sauce on offer. Lining the walls top to bottom and placed freely on tables and the bar, they come from all over the world: from household favorites to bottles likely unknown even to connoisseurs.
Know Before You Go The restaurant only accepts cash, but there is an ATM onsite
#Onions. (4 photos) Fried Onion Burgers A Depression-era patty filler paved the way for an Oklahoma favorite.
PLACE OF ORIGIN: El Reno, Oklahoma
In the late 1920s, Ross Davis ran the Hamburger Inn on Route 66 in the town of El Reno, Oklahoma. Hungry travelers headed West along the “Main Street of America” pulled over in search of good, old-fashioned American food. But as the effects of the Great Depression swept the country, beef became a luxury, and Davis had to get creative to keep his burgers affordable. He began beefing up small amounts of ground meat by smashing onions, which were still cheap, into five-cent patties. These “Depression burgers” contained about half a bulb’s worth of shredded onions, cooked into one side of the meat. At its most simple, beef, onions, and a bun completed the signature sandwich. The result was a sizzling, savory, and slightly sweet mess of crispy, sprawling onions punctuated by tender bits of ground beef.
The creation was a hit, and several other local burger joints followed suit. Confidently called a “national treasure” by multiple publications, fried onion burgers remain a niche, yet beloved, Oklahoma specialty to this day. Cooks still stretch out beef patties by filling them with onions, but cheese, pickles, and other condiments also grace today’s sandwiches. A handful of El Reno’s original eateries remain in operation, and the onion burger has also established residency 30 minutes east, in Oklahoma City. Though the original Hamburger Inn has since closed, a second location (circa 1938) is still in operation two hours south, in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Where to Try It: Robert's Grill 300 S Bickford Ave, El Reno, Oklahoma, 73036, United States This burger joint in El Reno, which has been slinging patties since 1926, also serves up an onion burger.

#Cheese Tenili These rare, hand-pulled strands of cheese are making a comeback in southwestern Georgia.
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Georgia
In the mountainous historic Meskheti region of southwestern Georgia, you can tell how the locals perceive you from whether or not they serve you cheese. If they bring out the tenili, consider yourself very fortunate, for only those held in the highest regard will be offered this rare, hand-pulled cheese.
Although Georgia has a rich and diverse history of cheesemaking, under Soviet rule, the country was reduced to the production of just four kinds of cheese. Only a handful of Meskhetian families continued to make tenili for private consumption. In recent years, though, artisanal cheesemakers have begun scouring what is now the Samtskhe-Javakheti region (which includes Meskheti) for practitioners of Georgia’s ancient cheese traditions to try and revive production of delicacies such as tenili.
Tenili is made using sheep’s or cow’s milk that is rich in fat content. After boiling the curds until they become a soft, limber mass of cheese, the cheesemaker—usually a woman from one of the few families still making tenili—will hand-pull it into a heap of fine, yarn-like strands. This cheesy yarn then gets soaked in cold, salted water and dried on a pole for a few hours to a few days. The maker then dips the strands in heavy cream and presses them into clay pots (called “tenili”), covering everything with a cloth. After a few days, she’ll turn the pot over so any remaining water seeps out.
In these clay pots, tenili can be aged up to a year. Preserved and cherished like a family jewel, it’s meant to be taken out and enjoyed on very special occasions. It has a pleasant, mild smell and an almost spicy, acidic kick.
Where to Try It: Cheese Corner / ყველის კუთხე Nutsubidze St., 163, Tbilisi, 0186, Georgia +(995)53-535-3131 A cheese shop featuring a rich array of local cheeses.

A photo of the more than 2000 years old Olive tree of Vouves in the village of Ano Vouves in Crete, Greece. Dansk: Et foto af det mere end 2000 år gamle Vouves-oliventræ i byen Ano Vouves på Kreta i Grækenland. [+]
The olive tree of Vouves, on Crete. This tree, which has a trunk 15 feet in diameter, is at least 2,000 years old, and likely 2,900 years old, based on the graveyard found nearby. This tree likely lived through the writing of the Iliad, the golden age of Athens, the rise of the Roman Empire, and the birth of Christ – and then lived for 2,000 years after that. It still produces olives, as well!
We are drinking far less of the bad stuff, says Prof Karen Hofman of the Wits Centre for Health Economics and Decision Science.
South Africa introduced a sugar tax of 11% per litre three years ago, significantly below 20% recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Nevertheless, it seems to be doing the job.
Hofman and her team researched the impact of the sugar tax and found large reductions in demand for taxed beverages but no significant changes in demand for untaxed drinks. A similar study a couple of years ago found that households bought 50% fewer sugary beverages.
"Liquid sugar is particularly bad… particularly toxic… Fruit juices were not included [in the tax]. They’re less healthy! … Eat your fruit, don’t drink it!"
