| dancer62 10/14/20 4:56:07 PM #21 | Zangulus posted... Have people not realized dancer is literally a conservative troll yet?Huh? How is it trolling to say that the President of the United States is not a dictator that can independently decide whether or not to abide by the results of the Presidential election?

Trump has indicated numerous times that he plans to question the results, and if he loses he will not step down.That's not something he can control.

It's only confusing if you're so fucking old you have one foot in the grave already and your dementia-addled brain doesn't adapt well to change any more. Us young folk'll be just fineThe Gimli Glider was not crewed, maintained, serviced, or fueled by dementia patients.

Inches, feet, yards, miles, knots, mach, ounces, pounds, tons, pints, gallons, Fahrenheit. Metric is good for confusion.

| Topic | Which driving infraction do you hate to see the most? |
| dancer62 10/12/20 5:35:38 PM #4 | Driving too slowly is a continuing nuisance, the others are mostly out of your way quickly, or easily avoided. But running stop signs/lights, bad passing/cutting you off, and driving too slowly are often a trifecta. Of course, you have to have some sympathy, if the bad drivers didn't cut you off and jump red lights they would never be able to get anywhere driving that slowly. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

My tiny fleet consists of a BMW E36 convertible, a MKII Supra P-type, and a little Mazda grocery-getter that is still fun to thrash with its 5-speed.

Yes, billions of dollars are spent and tens of thousands of people work together on research, development, and distribution for a flu vaccine that ultimately causes more people to get sick.A nice public- funded cash cow for the pharmaceutical companies. And, ineffective or not, it gave the CDC something to provide misinformation on before SARS-2 took over that role. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

And with the health care system completely overwhelmed people would be dying from normally survivable things like car accidents, broken bones, heart attacks, etc.Yes, indeed, in spite of politically correct magic charms like bandito bandanas and standing six feet apart in grocery aisles. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

| dancer62 08/31/20 10:27:37 AM #73 | captpackrat posted... That's 67 9/11s. That's double the number of Americans killed in military actions since WWII, and more than 2/3 the number of American combat deaths in WWII.One-third the number that die annually from heart disease, half the number that die from cancer, about the same as die from respiratory disease. Three times the annual seasonal flu death toll, nearly twice the annual deaths from traffic accidents. About the same number that die annually from medication errors.

A lot in meat packing plants. Golf courses are social-distancing, and outdoors anyway. Casino? Try your luck.

| dancer62 08/17/20 4:26:15 PM #17 | When I grew up, girls were not taught to fight. Sparring in martial arts classes and tournaments has given me confidence in being able to hold my own in any situation. Cartoon violence never seemed to have anything to do with the real world, so I'm not sure what "desensitization" refers to. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
