Now this is some prancing right here.

Or, by really bad officiating. They are calling way more 'judgement call' penalties than in the past, because they keep changing the rules to make the game 'safer'.

40 you guys, I've been reading witness testimonies about hamas atrocities. worse then mengele. the tortures , mutilations, genital mutilations. this is form the medial teams and witnesses...

"Everything was an apocalypse of corpses. Girls without any clothes on . . . without underwear. People cut in half, butchered, some were beheaded..nd Richert played a video from an interview that police conducted with a Nova survivor. That witness said she saw Hamas members shoot at victims’ sexual organs. “They had a thing with sexual organs, both in woman and in man.” In the clips, the witness said she saw a Hamas gunman rape a woman, amputate her breasts, then throw them onto the road..."

there is more of the same and worse. Israel needs to destroy them. Erase them from this Earth.

54 I can see no way this could go wrong.

Prophetic, founded earlier this year, is tapping into a new unconscious market with an innovative headpiece called the "Halo".

Allowing customers to tap into lucid dreaming could pave the way for productivity at nighttime — for example, engineers could code in their sleep, per Fortune.

People spend approximately one-third of their lives sleeping. Prophetic wants to subvert the lack of activity that happens during sleep by inducing a lucid dream state.

168 Allowing customers to tap into lucid dreaming could pave the way for productivity at nighttime — for example, engineers could code in their sleep, per Fortune.

People spend approximately one-third of their lives sleeping. Prophetic wants to subvert the lack of activity that happens during sleep by inducing a lucid dream state.

174 productivity at nighttime — for example, engineers could code in their sleep

(1) Coders code. Engineers engineer.
(2) My father was a backhoeman, and regularly spent the whole sleeping night working some job, which he'd tell you about in great detail, soil types, slope angles and all.
(3) When I did a certain kind of map work, we used a proto-Mac gooey thing whose language was spoken only by a few score analysts thinly scattered across the country. It was over 35 years ago. Once in awhile, I catch myself, asleep, splaying those data sets just as if they still meant something.

One night, in the wee hours of the morning, I had the dream again. It dawned on me that all I had to do was yell back at the monster, and I'd be saved.

Somehow I managed to emit a guttural scream in the dream...and it appears in real life as well.

Scared the living bejeesus out of my then bride. I awoke to her beating me with her pillow, in tears...my scream was so unwordly.

And I never had that dream again...

289 That did not look like a gas explosion. Pity it wasn't daytime, the color of the smoke might've been a clue.

Every video'd gas explosion I've seen is a near-spherical bubble of hot gas and flame, expanding consistently to every point on the compass.

That explosion looked to have a very directional initiation, and a far "dirtier" and erratic fireball than a gas blast. And, it had secondaries. Most interesting, those.

I have always loved maps. At the end of third grade, my third grade teacher got hold of a bunch of aerial navigation maps of Central Europe. All my buddies and I knew we were in the class for some time afterward, because the maps were proudly displayed on our bedroom walls.

322 Why do we in the West hold Israel to a higher moral standard than we do her Arab enemies?

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at December 04, 2023 09:57 PM (0FoWg)

I don't know. What I do know is that I am about to write something that I never believed I would:
I commend two demonrat senators for their strong stance for Israel and against Hamas: Fetterman and Gillibrand. Marco Rubio as well but it would be normal for me to respect him 'cause he's not a leftist.

323 I have a question:

Why do we in the West hold Israel to a higher moral standard than we do her Arab enemies?

You know, I had the same question back in the 80's when we were supposed to hate South Africa for their police state, while SWAPO was killing villagers for being vaccinated and giving information to the SA Army
I figured then it had to do with who was funding which side.

324 308 One thing about my dreams is that they are very vivid. Color, sound, faces, scenery. Even music sometimes. But they still don't make a damn bit of sense.

325 ..Do you think the masonry construction could have affected the directional aspect? Posted by: Diogenes at December 04, 2023 09:53 PM (uSHSS)

Honestly, no. What I saw as the initial blast, was kind of a megaphone shaped blast of hot gasses and smoke, kind of pointing down and to the left in the video, with the initiation point seeming to be nearly dead center on the ground floor of the house.

Instantly after the initial blast, then a ragged, mis-shapen fireball ascends, climbs through the already falling bits of the roof, and it's right about then that about a half-dozen small secondaries go off, near the original (apparent) epicenter.

Watch it about five or six times in a row, till you're not just seeing one big mayhem event, but can break it down into it's unique phases as the blast progresses.

Betcha 1. Forensics will find mucho evidence of much naughtyness, inside. 2. WE won't be told a damn thing about such naughtyness, unless the blast-ee was a Trumpian of some kind or another.

326 Some of you are narrowing in on it. We hold Jews to a higher standard for the same reason we should turn a blind eye to the fate of Arabs. To ask is to answer, in this case.

I was there, by accident, when it all kicked off. One side was killing people in the streets. The other sold me a hotel room and plane ticket back to the States.

In all honesty, what pissed me off the most was the lack of anger by the Jews. And I said so, go kick their asses. Not universally approved at all. They, as a nation, are fucked.

328 Die, sock...

My most vivid, intense dream - featuring somnambulance - was just two days after Field Training. I was staying at a hotel in Dallas the night after a concert, and went to sleep...

...and in the dream I was in the bay at Lackland AFB (you AF vets will remember those), and everything was neat and in order. Beds made, everything where they should be, and was perfect. One problem. I was the only one in the bay, and I began flipping out, trying to find where everyone was, freaking out as I firmly believed I was missing some key event and that my ass therefore was grass. But...there was one t-shirt draped over a chair, so I went to go get it as it might provide a clue...

It was my concert t-shirt. I looked at it and snapped out of it, realizing I was sleepwalking all over the hotel room. After that, I tried to go back to sleep...

I keep coming back to how worthless and crappy the region is when they could be wealthy beyond belief if they'd simply set up some resorts and fancy hotels and entertainment along the beach.

But their entertainment is poverty, handouts, and rape.

331 I've been surfing online greater than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means
found any fascinating article like yours. It's lovely worth
enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did,
the net will be a lot more helpful than ever before.
