Everyone who voted against RFK, done. Useless. Performance theater.. wasting time. Every one of these cases will be resolved, it just takes time and ties up their lawyers.. burning their resources uselessly. Let the Congress use its time to create the law that substantiates these changes.. and done. So.. no.. impeaching is more delay of real change.

The problem is as always, you can charge but you can’t convict. This is why Bondi said, no.. not happening.

And in spite of everything that comes out of his mouth, he will still vote for Kamala. This is BS of the highest ironic order.

The deal is that you want to get in the most steps you can without causing damage. And the problem is that at about 12-13,000 steps you start doing damage for many people, especially if you are carrying some extra weight. So, 10,000 is a happy goal that is less than this and more than the 8,000 that is the minimum to get tangible measurable benefits.

I find that I get about 3,500 steps a day without any effort to walk. So, we are talking about 6,500 steps or about 2.5 miles. This is about 1 hour of walking, less if you go at a good clip.

Still, it is all in the doing. I have an Apple Watch and this helps in the gamification of the effort. And I have the O2 sensor which gives you a hint about what is happening with your fitness regardless of whether the numbers are going to be the same as actually going and having your V02 really measured. Still, I am shocked how rapidly this indicator falls off if you reduce your activity from 10,000 steps to 5,000 steps or such for a period. And worse, the reality of how difficult it is to get back to that easy rapid clip once you let go of it for a time.

This study doesn’t establish maximum safe dosages or what dosages are associated with liver damage, but only says that sometimes these nutrients are associated with liver damage. Mostly, presented this way, it is just a big pharma support piece. One of the compounds targeted is Tumeric, and it is almost impossible to find a reference for what the toxicity of Tumeric is, generally, the recommendations run 500mg to 2000mg of 95% Curcumin extract, which is one whopping amount of Tumeric as a spice. Nevertheless, most Curcumin or Tumeric just slides right through you unabsorbed. This is why they add Paprin (black pepper) to the mix, to get it past the gut. And then it flushes out of your system quickly.. so hard to know what to make of this study. Some of the items on this list are just plain bad, incontrovertibly. Garcinia cambogia for one.. just avoid it. But, this is kind of just bad talking and grouping things without any real information to give the people who are interested real tools to find their own safe dosages.

The Whole Big-Bang story speaks of Creation. It doesn’t support the idea that the Biblical Narrative as calculated by the Scholars of the First Century is correct, but then again, in the 21 Century, we have concepts like “virtual reality” that our 20th Century scientists and philosophers didn’t.

Funny how the Nobel Prize for Physics was granted to a group of folks that proved that the Material Reality of the supposed Clockwork Universe doesn’t exist. Every version of “Material Reality” has been excluded, disproved as a hypothesis that explains our existence. And thus, Creation could have happened only seconds ago, like the booting of a computer game.

The End of Material Reality

All of the effort against the Big Bang and all of the Multi-verse crap is because the Big Bang implies CREATION. This is why it gets “fairy tale” appellations all of the sudden.

Return of the God Hypothesis - Steven C. Meyer
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G122JJN

Meyer argues that theism—with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator—best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God.

This is why the Big Bang had to go..

I did this once, but the phone wasn’t even mine.. a client’s phone.. I wanted to weep. Same feelings.. How could I have done that! I knew better.

But this is where AppleCare comes in.. they replaced the phone for a pittance.. done.

It is easy to misread.

Did you watch the vids.. oy.. total cringe.. freaked me out watching them again before I posted.. especially that last one where he tears the phone to shreds.

It took me almost 3 months to recommend the 15 Pro Max because it is more fragile than the 14 Pro Max. But, it is such a nice phone that it overcomes that issue.. just don’t flex it between your fingers.. it will crack.

“even as I was logged on to find the perfect protective case for it, I got off the toilet, and it slid out of the breast pocket of my shirt landed on the floor, only 3 feet away, and cracked the stupid face.”

This sounds like a you problem, not an iPhone problem. Buy a case at the store, or don’t use it until you get your case. Or take your chances. Frankly, Apple replaces these phones swiftly, just walk into the Apple Store and pay the price for cracked screen with AppleCare.. which is included for 1 year.. and learn your lesson.

Frankly, I buy my case before buying the phone so I have it that first moment and get a good deal too.

With the new phones.. the iPhone Pro Max ones.. I have taken to screen and camera protectors which are getting quite good. The systems for applying them really do a good job of preventing bubbles and dust bumps if you shop for this. And, they are cheap, less than $10 on amazon. This is to protect the screen from scratches that devalue the phone on trade in day.. or when you decide to sell to upgrade. The camera cover protects the lenses. The new designs exclude stuff accumulating around them from your pocket.

Anyway, you know when you are going to buy a phone. Plan a bit and avoid the problem entirely.

Still this is fun or painful depending on how you look at it.

iPhone 15 Pro DROP TEST! Is Titanium STRONGER?

An iPhone without a CASE is just pre-cracked waiting to be post-cracked. Bad cases will permit corner cracking if the fall is from high enough, and face down on a sharp or hard pointed or elevated object, not a flat surface like the floor will crack the screen. Look at the depth of the raised side of your case to get an idea of its ability to protect the phone if it hits face down. The lower the ridge, the less protection.

One of the great problems with the Parliamentary system is that supermajorities just don’t happen. Infact, the current situation which led to this crisis is that for a third time in more than 70 years, a simple majority has formed. This time to vote as a block on constraining the power of the judiciary. The possibility of a conservative simple majority just legislating as they pleased.. is what scared the Israeli left into literally undermining their own government to the point of the security services participating in the protests. It wasn’t a problem when the left did it. Sound familiar?

Oddly, the Basic Law provisions were only put into place by simple majorities. However, that said, it looks like only Article 44 has a limitation that seeks a 2/3 Majority, all else is subject to a simple majority.

From the wikipedia link you cited..

Article 44, which prevents the amendment of the law by an Emergency Regulation, can be amended only by a majority of 80 members.

In the Israeli system.. it only takes more than 50% to change the constitution.. the odd thing is that this occurs so rarely it hasn’t been a problem for those who don’t want things to change.

Apparently, he didn’t read the dissenting opinions by the other three Judges who blasted the ruling as unfounded and contrary to any understanding of justice.

That was part of the point of the whole exercise and why it was funded by the Biden administration.. in the first place

The Chinese. Keep up dear boy.

This unfortunately was an unforced error. This is because the folks who resisted this will run this back again once they have their changed made to stop folks from undoing their changes.

This exposes the hypocrisy of the measure. Now you have proven that you can’t stop the amendment you hate and they have proven that they can stop you from changing anything once they have shoved their crap through by simply agreeing to this amendment after they have won.

This has been discussed ad nauseam. Tucker contends that Fox breached by its smear campaign that they launched right after his dismissal using documents and video that were exclusively in the control of Fox Employees. These are facts that are irrefutable. However, Tucker goes on to assert that he was placed in this position as part of the settlement with Dominion. If this is established, it places Dominion in the situation of being a partisan actor, and thus not independent or trustworthy as a provider of Election services. This is a bigger game by far.

This is the aspect of Trump that truly sucks.. he just doesn’t get it with respect to how they played him during Covid. And this point makes Trump look like an ASS. Its a real shame.. this is where his style really hurts him.. this is not the way to fight against Desantis. Instead it is the way to lose to him.
