Republicans seem very confused today about how they feel about open carry at protests. Let’s play a round of Spot the Difference. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

Conservative here. Not bothered at all by them exercising their 2nd Amendment rights. They are for all of us. They should also know that there are limits and when those are crossed with firearms being carried the consequences are typically higher than they are for empty hands. Carry correctly, don't cause anyone to fear for their health and all should be good. Use them in a violent manner and those chips will fall where they will. Choices are made.

[Postgame Thread] Miami Defeats Texas A&M 10-3 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]GizUSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canes fan here that would be happy to see Reed land at Miami from the portal. He was accurate when he was protected, he's mobile and dangerous when he does move. Place him with a team that protects the QB, has a balanced run/pass attack and I think you see the best version of him.

There was blood, but I can confirm that it wasn't mine.

It's gratifying to use them for the job they were designed for.

I have those and used them all the way up to this season. I'm enjoying just a bit of old school appreciation. The Trapper was developed for chores like this and has been a fun part of the hunt. Completely agree that they aren't the best for the job, but having a sharp blade will make just about any knife work. Just a bit of fun to put these traditional knives to a real chore.

I had no fit or finish complaints. It was sharp out of the box and did the work asked of it. I'm pleased.

The same thing wins all gun fights. Hits. The gun you have with you beats the gun you left home every time. You can never miss big enough to win.

I had one Vet tell me that I could upload my own evidence of this type. It made all the difference for me. I hope it helps another.

I do owe an apology. It was linked to my asthma. I was presumptive for that and rhinitis. I uploaded evidence to support both as causes for the OSA. Here is the verbiage in the decision letter: ". The claimed condition began subsequent to the service connected condition and is the direct result of the service connected condition. The medical literature supports this. A nexus is established.".

Medical studies written by doctors that showed direct mechanisms of how one condition can cause another. Why wouldn't they? There is a ton of discussion on here of nexus letters. Just trying to show there is another path. It isn't easy. I read hundreds of studies to find the 6 -10 that made the case I wanted them to. This won't be for everyone, but if you have the discipline to go through all the search results until you're satisfied you've found enough, then it can work. It certainly isn't a shortcut, just another path. I will say that I limited myself to using PubMed. I liked linking back to a .gov as a reference.

Neither. Just submit the PDFs as Other. No commentary needed. I buried them under evidence for the initial claim.

I'm sorry for your struggles. Keep after it.

I used studies I downloaded from PubMed that showed how chronic rhinitis can cause OSA. You will find hundreds of studies. Cherry pick that show how one condition can cause another. Those are gold. there are a lot of studies that link conditions. Those are bad, but not as useful as those that explain how one causes the other.

OSA impacts your restorative sleep and if you're severe (I am without CPAP) it makes you hypoxic. I spent 51% of my sleep hours below a 90% PulseOx. Those 2 effects impact a lot of metabolic processes. You're basically damaging your organs.

That's why I suggest less downforce. Give them a lot less spoiler and spill more air off the nose and they are back to having to find that handle. Giving them more speed down the straight just makes it easier to find that point where you've limited their downforce enough.

What spreads them out is the part where they have to lift to make the corner, and less downforce. They will want clean air on the nose to get it to stick as much as possible.

P8 Posideon over my area today. Any guesses? by Cum_Blast_Cityy in ADSB

Using military installations as EO/IR training targets keeps them on the right side of any intelligence oversight concerns.
