Well, it sounds like an uphill battle at 65. Whoever gets the call needs to go in guns blazing. mspart

Has anyone noticed how much better Venezuela is doing in wrestling that past results would suggest. Pan Am Championships 57 - Silver 74 - Bronze 86 - Silver 97 - Bronze 125 - Bronze Pan Am OG 74 - Semifinal 86 - Semifinal 97 - Fighting for semifinal spot 125 - Fighting for semifinal spot I just don't remember them being all that proficient in wrestling. Times they are a changing. mspart

Sounds like it was more of a comment on him then eh? mspart

Or Pres Biden dissing half the country every chance he gets. Its what they do. I would not call trans people filth. I am not that way. They are people who need help. Desperately. That is my view. mspart

That's not what the FBI and Comey said. They just didn't prosecute here like they would have anyone else. You are still in the tank for her. mspart

Is that more of a comment on me or you? mspart

So how do you qualify at the last chance? I thought you had to win, but someone here thought top 3. So what is the real deal? mspart

65KG again is up in the air and hanging in the balance. Zane has to beat Darion Cruz to get 57 qualified but, what is with 65? Failed last Olys and now so far again. Both by PSU wrestlers. At the last chance, you have to win it correct? I agree that Lee did not look great. He got taken down too handily, did not maintain good positioning against Gomez. Nothing against Gomez, that was a heck of a match he wrestled there. mspart

He has the ropes whip down now, but that won't help him much. He could do a pile driver but would probably get DQd doing that. And flying off the post is just not going to happen. I assume that was the repertoire you were talking about. mspart

This is true. https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-by-country/ So China is twice the emitter of the USA. We are #1 and #2 but it isn't really close. China emits the amount of the next 4 or 5 highest emitters. China and India emit as much as the the US plus then next 15 highest polluters. Their impact is tremendous right? But if they do something, and no one else does, does it help? If we do something and no one else does, does it help. But without them there will be no progress for sure. As you can see, the US has done quite a bit in reducing emissions. We are at 1989 levels. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/CHN/china/carbon-co2-emissions You can see China has not decreased their emissions at all. I just googled these and found some interesting data. mspart

Can you feel the love tonight? blah blah blah blah blah. Biden must be feeling very welcomed. mspart

This statement does not give me confidence in your position. You don't even know when it is happening, last few centuries or last few decades. Nail it down man. FWIW - It would be better if we could stop with internal combustion engines. We need another kind of engine that is powerful enough to do what we need and safe and reliable. Hydrogen fuel cells are pretty safe but we haven't gone that direction. One needs to ask why not? It may be that it is expensive to get hydrogen in the kinds of quantities needed. Storage of hydrogen is problematic - Hindenburg for instance. But I'm sure that is a direction that should be explored more rather than going headlong into the unknown and calling that the panacea that it isn't. EVs are not ready but hybrids are. Hybrid cars and trucks would do a lot to save on emissions, giving time for other alternatives in the future. This needs to be led by thinking and rational people, not politicians with no idea of how to make it happen. Declaring ICE cars will no longer be sold by 2030 or something artificial like that gives us the worst of possible scenarios. Clinging to one supposed solution to the exclusion of many others is also not a rational and thoughtful way to go. I am not against it. I am just not going to get on a bandwagon saying humanity is the cause with the ultimate solution being the elimination of many humans. I agree with Cliff Mass, the climatologist I cited. We are the solution, there is no existential crisis now and in a number of years there will be technology that will be able to reverse the trend. We are seeing small nuclear reactors that are safe and manageable, we are seeing natural gas with its abundant energy and low emission output that should be utilized more, we are seeing solid state battery technology doing amazing things, we have hydrogen fuel cells that are not being utilized to much of any degree. Fusion energy is on the horizon, maybe more distant but I think that is an area worth exploring. I'm not against these things. They are fascinating. I just am not hysterical over the global warming thing. I believe answers to emissions are coming. The solutions du jour are not solutions. Wind and solar that are completely unreliable necessitating blackouts or brownouts. Can we not see that this is not progress? EVs that have limited range and you have to get a hotel to go on a cross country trip just to recharge? That is not progress. Not being able to travel cross country is not progress either. These things are not solutions, they are handcuffs. We don't need handcuffs, we need objective and well thought out solutions. Not kneejerk reactions. mspart

I don't expect it which is why I wrote it. It would be the sane thing for them to do. Hamas has brought them untold horror in life and they do not like Hamas particularly, but would vote for them anyway, if Hamas either gave a vote or were eradicated creating a vacuum so a vote was necessary. I was pointing out the incredible opportunity those people have over there but will not take advantage of it. They could have a much better life but not with a corrupt war mongering machine that is Hamas. Hamas has taken all the aid and not given it to the people, they have not developed their own water, fuel, or electrical systems. They have not developed anything other than tunnels and hiding munitions among the people, and lining their own pockets. Hamas is as corrupt as any corrupt government. The people of Gaza should be able to recognize this and take measures to rid themselves of it. But they won't. But it would be the sane thing to do in an insane part of the world. https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/polls-show-majority-gazans-were-against-breaking-ceasefire-hamas-and-hezbollah Polls Show Majority of Gazans Were Against Breaking Ceasefire; Hamas and Hezbollah Unpopular Among Key Arab Publics https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-palestinians-opinion-poll-wartime-views-a0baade915619cd070b5393844bc4514 Palestinian poll shows a rise in Hamas support and close to 90% wanting US-backed Abbas to resign The first was after the Oct 7 massacre. The second was in Dec. No they won't turn on Hamas, but they should. Do you not agree? mspart

UB - are you agreeing with the premise Greenland was green 2.5 million years ago? If so, how do you explain that with no humans on board mother earth at that time? Or are you saying that there are cycles in the earth's climate and back then it was warmer with no humans, but now it is getting warmer with humans and they are causing it? Or are you saying Greenland has never been green and that is just hokum that it was green 2.5 million years ago? Just want to get your position correct. mspart

https://visitgreenland.com/articles/10-facts-nellie-huang/ [Greenland] actually got its name from Erik The Red, an Icelandic murderer who was exiled to the island. He called it “Greenland” in hopes that the name would attract settlers. But according to scientists, Greenland was actually quite green more than 2.5 million years ago. And how many humans were around then? mspart

I tried the full loop thing. I got up there and lost pull on the chain and that unnerved me. I figured I'd let others try. Never seen it done!! I would also go as high as I could and jump. Did well at that. But those were smaller heights swings. Those there are serious!!! mspart

You made sense until your 4th paragraph. The conspiracy theories you decry are all against the Ds. So what that says is that what you wrote before holds little water. I'm just reading what you are writing and inferring what anyone would. You have your opinion, good for you. But you seems to be trying to have it both ways. "I am not for or against R or D. But by golly those conspiracy theories against Hillary are just too much." I don't see you giving Trump the same benefit of the doubt that you are giving Hillary. And therein your disguise is blown. mspart

There you go. mspart

I see what you mean. I think I would have refused. But that's just me. mspart.

So did Athens turn over this murderer to ICE? If not, did they put him away pending trial? And will turn him over to ICE if he is found not guilty? Yes on these questions will let you know if they are a sanctuary city or not. This guy, if he did it, should go away for a long time, meaning the rest of his life be that short or long. If they were a sanctuary city, they have blood on their hands. If not, then it is Biden and Bragg that have blood on their hands. He should never have been here in the first place and she would still be alive if that was the case. mspart

Yeah, I'd say they have a bit of a problem. Black Female and Male Pope? Hasn't happened yet. Black Putin? Doesn't seem historical. mspart

What kid wouldn't have loved that contraption. Danger, fun, you have it all. mspart

Best of luck to all! mspart

Of course it does. Those guys are nuts I guess. mspart

https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-texas-el-paso/news/2024/02/22/oklahoma-police-say-nonbinary-teen-s-death-was-not-result-of-injuries-from-high-school-fight Police in the suburban Tulsa community of Owasso are investigating the death of 16-year-old Nex Benedict, whose family said identified as nonbinary and used they/them pronouns. Although the cause of death has not been determined, Owasso police said in a statement preliminary autopsy results indicate the teen did not die as a result of injuries sustained in the fight. “At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received,” the statement says. I guess we will have to wait and see. Death not due to trauma. So what caused her death? I guess we will see after the full autopsy report is available. mspart
