  1. You just know stuff like this was happening but still baffling to hear it. Man, that officer has more poise than I do
  2. I'm on the west coast, so we have quite a few different brands, but Ballast Point (CA) does a wonderful few sours (https://ballastpoint.com/beer/sour-wench/#:~:text=Our Sour Wench Blackberry Ale,the world of sour beers.) There's a few at the store that I'll grab a six pack of next time I'm there - I remember them by their can, not their brand name vbg - but I typically fall for anything with a berry or fruit-based flavor and then that sweet, sweet kick of the sour.
  3. Obesity is an underlying medical condition (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fneed-extra-precautions%2Fgroups-at-higher-risk.html) 42% of Americans are obese (https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html) This is ignoring the number of other potential underlying medical conditions outside of obesity.
  4. McMillan would turn Klay Thompson into a G-League player. No sense of offensive scheme.
  5. This thread seems like a lot of folks with existing views searching for sources to back up what they already believe. That's perfectly fine, and I sometimes have a tendency to do it too, but is it the most helpful way to drive a discussion?
  6. Contact your state representative or Congressperson. Trust me. Not trying to make a political statement - an elected representative of either party makes this stuff move more quickly.
  7. makes sense. there's hard power and soft power - you outlined what soft power can do pretty well re: public pressure.
  8. Don't lawyers have pretty strict ethical guidelines on stuff like this? If they're found charging people flippantly to try and force deals, they risk some pretty serious punishments.
  9. That's quite the contradictory statement, tbh.
  10. https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-procedure/how-does-a-grand-jury-work.html
  11. I shouldn't have browsed this thread while hungry
  12. Booker's attorney can request away, but both Booker and the attorney have 0% to do with any criminal charges. The state (or federal) government will determine if charges are applicable.
  13. If a crime was committed, in the eyes of the law, it doesn't really matter a ton what the provocation was. Other lawyers can chime in, but I'm struggling to think of the words or phrases that would make what appeared in the video (if deemed a crime) permissible. If there were actions that provoked, perhaps that's a different story, but still - the point pretty much holds true. A crime is a crime.
  14. lucky girl, though, it gives her time to come to her senses.
  15. I'm supposed to be planning a wedding - obviously, that's on hold.
  16. AZ posts a record daily death total, a 33% positivity rate (!!), and a 1.8% mortality rate
  17. Smarter folks than I: I'm concerned, particularly in AZ, at the positive test rate. It's at an astronomical 25%. What does this purport to mean more broadly?
  18. Yes, AZ is very bad. Like - worse off than Italy was, in all likelihood. It is concerning.
  19. Great example of my earlier point - this is a pandemic, akin to a war, and no single person is the final arbiter of truth. There is simply too much happening. This guy might be right, the story I posted might be right, the truth might be somewhere in the middle. When you have two sets of doctors disagreeing with one another, that doesn't mean one is lying - it means the right answers are hard to come by. When any of us try to pass off anything as an absolute fact, we're begging to look a fool. This is a very fluid, very complex situation.
