It'll be the homeless. After they've all been "corralled," they'll go after the poor and we'll see formal debtor's prisons come back.



The right always sells it as going after *those* people, but ends up punishing poor people in general regardless of color. But yeah I can definitely see further expansion of the prison 'work program' industry, especially if wage hike pressures continue.

If there's a shred of a silver lining it's that a total elimination of Roe might finally be enough of a fire to force Breyer out while there's still a chance to replace him :rubby: :smithicide:

So apparently they got someone to let them into an art studio and hid them there, great job at roping more people into their ball of stupidity.

Hard data on Omicron is still very difficult to come by, but this is concerning:

Yeah it's spreading incredibly fast

We just had a probable Delta breakthrough case at work with a double-vaxxed guy in his 30s. He ended up having to go to the ER to get monoclonal antibodies and it took him a few weeks recovery before he was able to start working again.

You'd need a pretty good shelter to get through this:


Even the old school brick buildings that you'd expect to have a 50s era fallout shelter sign tacked to them are bombed out.

It's looking to be close to some of the current record holders if not beating them.

Repeated lightning strikes are usually a sign of incurring the wrath of God and/or nature, good thing to compare with the control group just to be on the safe side.

That said, there's a comically large Confederate flag out along Rt 48 that is similarly incongruous with West Virginia's founding.

gently caress Tree of Heaven, not only invasive but smells like rear end to boot.

Curious how kauri stacks up to black locust in terms of hardness, its amazingly dense and great firewood but an absolute pain to split.

I'd like to see one with fuel costs included, then a separate one for fuel costs with crude prices AND oil company profits.

The big takeoff in the wheat-to-bread comparison one lines up to the well documented 2001-2015 bread cartel price fixing scandal:

While increases in fuel and labor costs are certainly a factor, there's been a lot of ongoing shady poo poo in the Canadian AG industry that's still only coming to light.

shame on an IGA posted:

is there really a meaningful threat difference between hypersonics and depressed trajectory SLBMs tho

The stuff currently getting branded as 'hypersonics' tend to leverage aerodynamic controls a bit more than your typical lofted or depressed ballistic missile, which allows for things like late flight 'pull up' maneuvers or s-curves to add to the difficulty in hitting it with your $100M golden BB. However, at its core hypersonic is the same concept demonstrated with stuff like Dynasoar and the Space Shuttle back in the 70s and 80s just with the added advantages of modern supercomputer CFD modeling and control systems. It's no more a superweapon than LAZERZ were in the 2000s but the Pentagon needs a new thing to justify buying new toys.

Its good that Paxlovid and the Merck pill are coming on the board since some of the existing treatments don't look to be holding up to Omicron.

3M N95 Auras are about $2 a mask right now in 10x and 20x packs.

2-pack at-home antigen tests were $28 a pop when I picked some up at the local pharmacy a few days ago, although I've seen them down around $15 before Delta and Omicron took off. Georgia's got stacks of them available even though they're almost impossible to find in the Northeast right now.
