@lyricismist @Strandjunker a piece of metal going by even a foot away at nearly mach 3 is going to have a powerful bowshock that could damage flesh without making contact.

@Strandjunker

I would prefer not to remind the voters that he was shot at just recently. That story has been buried by subsequent events, let's leave it there.

@Rainne @Nonilex If as many Montanans as live in BZ were to switch their votes, he would lose 3 more EVs.

@Nonilex Will they fix his broken plane for free in Billings just to get shed of him?

@petergleick I remember exactly where we were at the time, camping at the state park at Spirit Lake (in the shadow of the whole Mt. St. Helens).

@AlliFlowers like I said, I bailed after about 20 minutes. I can endure some pain, but there was way too much to deal with there, with no hope of any kind of recompense for my suffering.

Also, it helped that I was doing something else at the time.

@AlliFlowers I actually watched part of it. Maybe 20 minutes or so, on a stream-tail. It was tedious, not to mention full of his voice. I mean, he cannot strip wallpaper the way Mooselini could, but …
Also, concertina. Endless concertina.

@davidho You can do quite a lot of damage with a book. I mean, look at that one very old one.

If @willbunch wrote it, you should read it.© & I thread it:

"The story of the most serious White House bribe allegation in U.S. history can't be allowed to fall under the cushions of #JDVance's couch

Congress must probe what really happened with #Trump, #Egypt and the $10M - and make bribery a crime again. My column🎁"

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of actress Patti Yasutake. Fans will forever cherish her portrayal of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Personally, I’ll remember her as a dear friend, whose sister was the late Irene Hirano Inouye, a founder of the Japanese American National Museum.

@GottaLaff It is not because he hates vets (after all, he was in Iraq, writing news stories), but there is no way in hell he could allow a Democrat to do a good thing. That would make him look bad.

(i.e., our system is deeply broken, because of people like him)

@MissingThePt Vance goes to Iowa to campaign, gets stuck in Davenport.

@pixelpusher220 @GottaLaff Down by 7 points? This is not Football, where all you need is a TD. 7 points is desperation territory: we need to be down by 3 or so to be reasonable. "To win, it takes courage, strength, cunning and endurance – to lose, it takes *everything you've got."

@gtconway3 … as well as disoriented, and in most cases completely unaware of the passage of time. As a cause, dyschronometria causes the person to become disoriented and completely unaware of time, thus making bits and pieces of their brain involving a memory to become lost, ultimately leading to dementia in the long term.

@gtconway3 see if this fits:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyschron

… Dementia has a huge effect on dyschronometria and was one of the main sources of how dyschronometria was discovered. Through studies, dementia is both a cause and an effect of dyschronometria. This has to do completely with the fact that with dementia the brain is constantly rewiring itself and thus information becomes lost causing the person who has dementia to become confused …

@gtconway3 Individual-ONE is wholly unable to “plan ahead”. He evidently has some form of ADHD, which in his case includes diminished perception of time. It is blazingly obvious that he is stuck in a sort of now-bubble, unaware of ten minutes ago or 5 minutes yet.

And this person wants to be the national leader?
