    The influence of the NRA over congress appears to be diminishing if this is anything to go by: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...type=Homepage#

    The sample is small but possibly the most encouraging element is the numbers suggesting that deciding to switch and take up an anti-gun position is no longer political suicide.

      It was the greatest test match (and individual effort) I've ever seen. Still can't quite believe it. Not often I can say that wasting most of a sunny Sunday watching a dodgy stream was time very well spent.
      In '81 I was serving my time doing TV and Video servicing and the guy who was running the workshop was a cricket nut and whether we liked it or not his apprentices were going to be too.
      Our normal routine was to do benchwork in the workshop in the mornings and go out on the road in the afternoons but when the test matches started we were out early in the mornings and back by 12 and locked in the workshop until close of play. So my introduction to cricket was being paid to sit and watch the '81 ashes from start to finis.

                He seems to be tweeting away, though that could be a bot or a minion.

                  He's not tweeting about banging black brazzers anyway.

                    I was going to message him on the night he said he was seeing an addiction specialist in a couple of days, and had been prescribed a benzo for withdrawal.

                    Then I checked his Twitter and saw Tweet after Tweet of coherent and perfectly written material. So I didn't. Perhaps he does indeed have a minion to keep things ticking along with it.

                        Ah yes, forgot about Twitter. Good!

                        Trump seems to be alive too and doesn't entrust his tweeting to minions.

                            It's, fucking pay day after nearly 5 weeks, praise the fucking Lord.

                            Monthly pay is a fucking pain in the fucking hole especially when it's practically a 5 week month.

                            Anyway I'm loaded now for approx 10 days. BRB...... Off to have a look online

                              I much prefer getting paid monthly.
                              I think your problem is linked to the bolded bit above.
                              People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

                                    I was listening or reading something the other day that referenced this study: https://www.nhs.uk/news/heart-and-lu...g-says-report/

                                    The topic was related to this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...aping-juul-ban and the decision to ban was a bad one.

                                    Itll be interesting to see the damage if that death is in fact caused by vaping.

                                    Thankfully the only one of my family who doesn't smoke/vape, always hated it.

                                          Does Lloyd still read here?

                                          Just reading about Gladwell's new book and this stuck out
                                          Through a series of puzzles, encounters and misunderstandings, from little-known stories to infamous legal cases, Gladwell takes us on a journey through the unexpected. You will read about the spy who spent years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon, the man who saw through the fraudster Bernie Madoff, the suicide of the poet Sylvia Plath and the false conviction of Amanda Knox. You will discover that strangers are never simple.

                                                  It seems clear that Trump was outright lying about getting calls from China in order to keep Wall St. ticking ever upwards. It's also clear that that is a go straight to jail, do not pass go sort of federal crime.
                                                  Whats the chances of them actually doing anything about it?

                                                                    The GOAT 2p2 poster Henry17 laid out the case in depth a few years ago.

                                                                    https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/3...l#post29700628
                                                                    I'm sure her family would have done the PR /Astroturfing whether she was innocent or guilty. So not sure if we can draw any conclusions from that.
                                                                    Not so much the judicial system, but the interviews with the detectives where full of insane ineptness. That doesn't mean she is innocent either of course. They'd be inept either way.

                                                                    That link brings me to some posts by Lloyd, not Henry17. There some of the pages, but they are more replies than a laying out the whole case.

                                                                          Looking to get tickets for a gig and they seem to be the only place that has them which has me a little suspicious
                                                                          Pay via PayPal and if any issue on non-delivery, they should refund you, saves any filing issue with your bank. I suspect StubHub carries buyer protection.

                                                                          Comment

                                                                                                Everyone else (Minaj, Lil Kim et al) adopted her cadence/style and then she went away (its nearly 15 years since she released an album).

                                                                                                Her legacy is massive and while this may not be her most original offering (the hint is in the title i think) its fucking great to have her old ass back (she older than me goddammit!)
