Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (11/3/21)

Quote I

‘No one wants to be sitting in this chair,’Unidentified potential juror Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

Bull Shit!

Quote II

"There’s something happening out here, it could be just anti-incumbent, I think that’s a part of it. But I think that there’s something else that's happening. I think the Democrats are coming across in ways that we don’t recognize, that are annoying and offensive and seem out of touch in ways that I don’t think show up in our feeds when we're looking at our kind of echo chamber. And I think that this is a message here." Van Jones

Quote III

"Throughout this deployment our focus has been on integrating game-changing capabilities from across the commando force to deliver disproportionate effect in the face of a free-thinking peer adversary," Lt. Col. Andy Dow

Quote IV

“I believe the COVID vaccine is a greater threat to soldiers’ health and military readiness than the virus itself,” U.S. Army aerospace physician Lt. Col. Theresa Long

The SCOTUS has been actively avoiding gun cases. Is there hope on the horizon for moar freedom in New York?

WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices on Wednesday appeared ready to shoot down New York state's limits on carrying concealed handguns in public in a major gun rights case that could imperil various firearms restrictions nationally.

While appearing united in their skepticism about the constitutionality of the state's law, some of the conservative justices expressed concern about how a ruling invalidating it might affect prohibitions on guns in sensitive places such as schools, sports stadiums and crowded public gatherings.

The court heard about two hours of arguments in an appeal by two gun owners and the New York affiliate of the National Rifle Association, an influential gun rights group closely aligned with Republicans, of a lower court ruling throwing out their challenge to the state's law, enacted in 1913.

Lighten up. It's been a long day.

I said, "It's been a long day." I didn't say it was a bad day.

A fellow was fishing with two friends in Brasilandia de Minas, Brazil when a swarm of bees arrived. They jumped into the lake to escape but the first man never made it to shore. Yep, piranhas. From 7News.com:

The fire department was called and an officer was about to dive into the lake when he was informed it was filled with piranhas.

Wow! I'm stunned. GOP Senate shows fortitude. Something unusual.

Senate Republicans will formally nullify Biden’s vaccine mandate – report

Resistance to President Joe Biden’s employer vaccine mandate is growing as the administration puts the finishing touches on the order that threatens workers with the loss of their livelihoods if they decline to be jabbed.

It is expected that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the agency that will be tasked with enforcing Biden’s dictatorial edict, will soon make the formal announcement, increasing pressure on Americans who are already being battered by inflation and shortages just before the holiday season to submit or be fired.

Shouldn't the funeral director directed the body to a institute of higher learning?

Family of man dissected at autopsy event says they didn’t give consent

Well ladies, you can't have it both ways. For years you have abused men. And the good ones said "F*ck it", I don't need a college education.

A lack of male university students has caused what has been dubbed ‘Golden Penis Syndrome’ in men who develop inflated egos due to the amount of interest their female peers show in them.

The term, coined by students at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and later popularized by American journalist Jon Birger, applies to heterosexual men on predominantly female college campuses.

Nearly 60% of college students in the US are women, while 40% are men, according to the National Student Clearinghouse.

As studies have shown, college-educated women are more likely to date similarly educated partners. With such skewed numbers, college-educated men have become a hot commodity, allowing such men to become arrogant, thinking a steady supply of women will always be available to them.

Heroin addicts are chanting, "Let's Go Brandon!"

A viral story published by Vice News exposed a new problem faced by those who are unfortunately addicted to heroin: Their drug of choice is being replaced with Chinese fentanyl, and it started in September.
In a piece of impressive length featuring interviews with an equally impressive number of heroin addicts and experts, Vice News broke the news that there is apparently a nationwide heroin shortage. It does not appear to be caused by Joe Biden’s supply chain shortage, however.

Good news on the fight against Alzheimer's Disease. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A study has managed to reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in mice by administering drugs currently used to treat hypertension and inflammation in humans.

In this study, scientists at IRB Barcelona led by Dr. Aloy have characterized three stages of Alzheimer’s disease, namely initial, intermediate, and advanced.

For each of these stages, they have analyzed the behavior of the animals, studied the effects on the brain (specifically the hippocampus at the tissue level), and performed a molecular analysis to measure gene expression and protein levels.
