I dust a bit. I am also writing a lengthy indictment against our current century. When my brain reels from my literary labors, I make the occasional cheese dip.
“Every year thousands of people lose their lives or are seriously injured in accidents on EU roads. There were around 19,940 deaths on the roads in 2024, a decrease of 2% on the previous year. Over the last 10 years there has been a gradual decline in deaths from a high of 24,358 in 2015.” - European Parliament
The problem with effing around with a technology that will literally save lives, is that there is an actual dangerous alternative that will continue to exist…
@Emotion78687 If you told me that Dolores was the most beautiful woman to have walked the Earth, I wouldn’t fight it…she is oh so hauntingly beautiful.
I grew up watching the fight game from the late 70s…my fav fighter of all time is Salvador Sanchez.
I love Hagler, Hearns and Roberto…but I would NEVER shortchange Terence Crawford.
And to be honest, I feel like GGG would be fine with all of them. He won those fights against Canelo…absolutely joke that the judges were so paid off.
It’s a bit sad to realize that McHale is prob viewed by this generation as just another unathletic White dude who was able to score a few points in an era when there were few good athletes…and def is overrated.
Those of us who have watched basketball during that time and since know the reality: That Boston team full of White guys and Robert Parrish was a wrecking crew…and as scary as Bird was from all parts of the floor, if McHale had your guy one-on-one in the paint, it was going to be a dizzying display of shifts and fakes, and a guaranteed bucket.
Nobody then, now and in the future stops McHale…you can only hope to contain.
@holliemaea How much elevation would you be able to get in a steep jungle hill in a minute?
Those Nepal videos show people who were trapped and doomed…none of them had any hope.
In a world where a watch like my Garmin can keep track of my vitals, my energy levels, my sleep quality, my schedules, my music, etc while giving me the ability to send emergency signals from anywhere on Earth…why would I ever touch my Omega Seamaster?
A fine watch will tell me the time of day with 99.9% accuracy…the one advantage is that I would be able to reset the watch without needing an energy source. So, if I’m on a deserted island I would be able to always tell what time it is.
But if trapped on a deserted island, I wouldn’t care what time it is…
So, in the US, the Blacks and East Asians have the same IQ but the Blacks have the physical advantages of being taller, stronger and faster.
Yet, East Asians heavily outperform Blacks in every socioeconomic measure including education, income and labor market status.
The East Asians must be cheating in life,,.
