  1. LOL... Brianna Brown is an actress from General Hospital. She was shot?
  2. The overriding question is why would someone put a round unless its specifically needed?
  3. "But it goes to the schools"
  4. I read some articles and learned that a movie set firearm caretaker is called an armorer. It’s a legit career in the business. The armorer for this movie was new. Her dad was a famous stuntman and armorer. She was recently on a podcast talking about her new career and how important it was. Also a hot and cold gun refers to any ammunition, blank or real. Same with the term “live”. Blanks are given the same precautions as bullets. Baldwin was told by the person that gave him the gun that it was cold. I have seen people suggest that actors check too. I don’t know about that. Sure some may be able to and will do it but I don’t see it as their responsibility. Do they check the brakes and steering on cars they drive. There were also reports that crews alerted the production company to two other firing incidents. Somebody was sloppy. It wasn’t an accident. It was negligence. The industry has established precautions and given the prevalence of guns in movies it sounds like the standards work. I know of 3 incidents. This one, Brandon Lee, and another guy who shot a blank at his head not realizing those are dangerous too. The force and small particles…. That’s why blanks and live and handled the same.
  5. Is it true the winter meetings have been cancelled ? Tweet I saw thinks it’s lockout related. Maybe just covid precautions and they don’t need to gather to do their job?
  6. The MLB
  7. Oh… do that’s the reason. Not that the claims were invalid. You didn’t move the goalposts you took them down.
  8. The ruling wasn’t about the law itself but rather the procedure. from the article: But Genetski did not allege that Benson's directive "caused him to accept a signature that he believed was invalid," according to Murray's decision. The judge didn't rule on whether Benson's directive violated state election law, but did say the directive violated the Administrative Procedures Act, the process that must be followed when an agency creates new rules.
  9. Quit bringing facts into it.
  10. This was one that got the gang riled up. But of course.
  11. “Claimed”. That’s not fact. People can claim lots of things. Yes the poll watchers were not allowed in because they were already an excessive amount of other poll watchers already in there. This bullshit was already hashed out as complete nonsense by the court system. This is the best you got? It’s weak. You and Rudy and the stripper, errrr Escort that was an election IT worker, errr, I mean an election screen glass wiper person, can go find an audience of gullibles because the courts said you all are full of shit and lawyers are in trouble over it. Pick better battles.
  12. I was amazed, not really considering who it was, at the suggestion that we stop counting votes on election night. Like that was ever the rule. Especially in the black communities. Again… not really.
  13. So you have no evidence. Thanks for proving our point. Were you up there with Rudy in Lansing when he farted?
  14. And it will never change because many people equate our founders with Moses getting the tablets from Mt Sinai. They truly believe it was divinely inspired and to go against that is to go against God.
  15. Like slot machines great effort goes into the psychology. I’ve read that slot makers hire people with phD’s on brain chemistry to study how the bells and lights and patterns trigger certain addictive elements in us. Getting people to believe a system exists is the point.
  16. We don’t play. Maybe twice a year on a whim I will get $5 in easy picks. But sometimes when the jackpot gets huge and there’s a news story the wife will nag me. I try to explain that the bigger jackpot does nothing to the odds. Potentially winning $5 million or $400 million gives me the same motivation. Which is none. I’d prefer the 5 to be honest. Less headache.
  17. the one that didn't die?
  18. soros
  19. "question a school board" That's where you are wrong. Members of boards have had death threats and been chased around in parking lots by psycho anti vax mobs and other like minded idiots regarding other topics. Guess you are ok with that. Once again a failed equivalency. Sensing a trend.
  20. WTF does that have to do with Merrick Garland? Get out of here with that bullshit. Chip Roy is a grandstanding fool who cares not about kids or rape but about being a bigot and blowhard. F him.
  21. There's no system or method.
