Our “deer friend” made a good point today. The TX state guard has more artillery shells than the rest of the US military at this point. Something to think about.

@lupyuen A proper run would have made use of the SOC's features.

@MrAndyNgo He couldn't even use a hammer right. I guess the moral is to not be a total disappointment of a man.

@mcnado

I agree wi5h your statements about death being accurate compared tonusual practices.

The assumption about excess death rate is a bit of a leap, we may find many other secondary effects that arent covid are at play to explain the difference.

@AmpBenzScientist

@freemo I remember them when Newports were like $1.75 a pack. I've used one maybe once for a pack and a lighter.

@freemo This is exactly how amphetamine tablets should be sold. Imagine drug vending machines that aren't overpriced and are available to the public. That's freedom.

I grew up back when all resteraunts had smotking sections. As if smoking on the other side of the room made it safe.

@wannabemystiker @freemo Yeah smoking is a danger to public health. Ignore the numbers of epidemics caused by flights, it's been resolved.
