  • This is dumb as fuck . John is running his mouth half educated.

    There was a primary. Biden won. Nobody was going to beat Biden, not even close.

    But now, John wants to with 4 months to go, pull out the sitting president with a lack of confidence 4 months before an election.

    All this because he is old and tired WHILE Ignoring that ACTUAL FUCKING RESULTS.

  • Potentially, but that implies leaving guns around outside of safes around kids isn’t all that dangerous considering the high number of gun owner and guns.

    I don’t believe that’s the case. I think it is more likely a few idiots cause a majority of the pain and loss of life.

    I have no data on this but anecdotally I can honestly say I despite being around idiots and gun owners in rural country with my now trump loving mother, that I have not met 1 single person even remotely close to dumb enough to leave a 2 year old in a car in the summer of GA, unbuckled and free to roam the car, that has a unlocked loaded gun.

    I understand the challenge with using personal experience, but in the absence of any real data, this is what I have to work with.

    I just like the taste of good coffee. I have to limit myself to one of two cups a day and I’d be shaking I bet.

    Most folks don’t really try expensive specialty beans or move beyond drip coffee. If most decaffeinated coffee wasn’t garbage I’d switch out at least carry both.

    I know this is pretentious, I still think it’s true.

    I recently had a light roast fermented with a mix of citrus fruit. The result was almost like a really fully bodied tea with hints on citrus. Low acid and bitterness. But it costs $35/12oz and is limited batch which is way more than most want to deal with.

    Decent espresso starts at like $600 buy in so they can’t experiment that route either.
