First World Problems...

This is why America is fat!

We have been lied to by "Big Weight," and who knows how long this has been going on!

They are lucky I don't have a scale for the bigger dumbbells, or I would be contacting my attorney!

18 Is that a time or a weight? Both? Time space curvature?

I've been using sand-filled "kettle bells" recently and you can kind of dial in your own final weight. One of the biggest cost in getting weights shipped is, well, the weight, duh, I know. But with the sand-filled weights you can get around that a bit. They are a bit floppy and have a bigger volume but that's fine for kettle bell training.

So the weight is short 0.2 ounces of a full three pounds.
Three pounds is 48 ounces: 3 X 16.

0.2 divided by 48 equals 0.00416.

Multiply that by 100 to turn it into a percentage and it equals 0.416 percent.

The weight is off by less than one half of one per cent.

Calif.? Law made it so Truck stops are not profitable, so they are shutting Down... HUNDREDS of Loves Truck stops are shutting down.

Also, you can't drive Semis in most rural neighborhoods, and they are restricted to certain routes now... cutting them off from most Gas stations not directly on Highways, you know... like Truck stops.

On the same day they lower the speed limit on highways by 5 MPH.

A million years ago in Kansas there was a little convenience store/pharmacy retail outfit named Skaggs. Nice place if you just wanted a few items and didn't want to trudge through a store or walmart.

134 You REALLY want to get pissed. Weigh food products sometime and compare what you get to the net weight they have displayed on the box/ container.

This is not an outlier. Quite a few corporations play around with semantics and, there are even some out there who increased the thickness of their cardboard container to add that to their net weight. Periodically, some have gotten caught (Walmart took a major legal hit on this with some of their internal grocery items). But, they play fast and loose. Pasta is another one. They cut is just a smidge short and box it. That tiny shortfall is difficult to see outright. But the weight tells the story. They are dependent on apathy, and customers not having the calibrated equipment to catch them.

Mine is supposed "engineers" at work who constantly misuse acronyms.

They will put in documents or say in meetings, for example, "ECM module". Well, ECM stands for Engine Control Module. So, what they are typing and saying is Engine Control Module module.

185 Speaking of refugees, I know David Crosby was a good singer but (part of his obit):

Crosby sailed the world in a 59-foot Honduran mahogany schooner called the Mayan. He piloted his own plane, lived on a ranch in the wine country north of Santa Barbara, and in his later years experienced a surprising burst of creativity that produced four albums along with concert dates across the country.

The bigger surprise, though, was that he had any later years at all. He suffered from diabetes and arterial disease, was implanted with eight cardiac stents, and survived heart attacks, blackouts, seizures and a motorcycle wreck. When hepatitis C destroyed his liver in 1994, doctors saved his life with a transplant. He was addicted to alcohol, heroin and cocaine, and got clean only after spending 11 months behind bars in Texas for drug and weapon offenses.

Asked in the 2019 documentary “David Crosby: Remember My Name” how he had managed to keep going, he answered succinctly: “No idea, man.”

What we are witnessing today is the largest ethno-cultural upheaval in Europe since the arrival of the Yamnaya around 5,000 years ago.

They laid the foundation of the European tribes and, ultimately, modern European nations.

Since then, there has been an unbroken chain of ethno-cultural continuity. All foreign invasions, from the Huns to the Ottomans to the Moors, were ultimately repelled.

Today, within just a few decades, this chain is being broken. The people living in huge parts of Europe, France, Germany, England, and Italy in 100 years will not be the descendants of those who lived there 100 years earlier.

This has never happened in the last 5,000 years.

Minnesota is transitioning from "Repressive Tolerance" to Maoist Mass Line enforcement - through targeted violence of its opposition (Minnesota citizens) - in the open streets, in broad daylight, with no law enforcement protection. The MPLS Police did not evacuate the streets; they turned them over to the revolutionaries. This is the counter-state in overwatch of the insurgency. Its code name is "Peaceful Protest."

This is what peaceful protest has always meant.

This is not street violence; this is revolutionary operations taking control of an urban area that will be replicated if not (properly) checked.

If I remember correctly, they did the same thing during the California Proposition 8 debate. Went after churches which were in support of Prop 8.

This is nothing new. And they never attack mosques, even though Islam and Muslims are the ones who are not only against the alphabet soup insanity, but they also take violent action against it.

In this case with illegal aliens, mosques are probably in on it. Actually surprising here, as a lot of churches support illegals as well, especially Catholic churches.
