  1. Did I say that? All politicians lie. In Gutterworld, Iran is going to send a convoy of cranes and dump trucks to Fordow, neither Israel nor the US will find out, and they'll make a nuke by Labor Day.
  2. I trust that Trump has better data than you do.

    Bless your heart. Maybe the International Criminal Court has those videos of the IDF shooting civilians that you can't seem to find anywhere on the interwebs.

  6. If "it" meant the charges, he basically said the same sentence twice. That's clear to you?
  7. Lol? It seems to me there are the following outcomes: 1. He is tried, found guilty, serves some time, then when he is released, gets deported. Highly doubtful that his prison time would exceed Trump's term. 2. He is either not tried or not found guilty or serves no time, in which case he gets deported. I don't see a reasonable outcome that keeps him from being deported. How do you turn this into a Lol-level possibility that he would flee?
  8. This seems to be Squissy asserting that the domestic abuse definitively didn't happen. Squissy ignores me because I biotch-slap him in discussions like this. @TimHauck, can I get a ruling on my conclusion?

    Several SCOTUS decisions coming out today.....

    You didn't address a single point I made. You merely reaffirmed that it is OK to you to have 2.2X the female acceptance rate to attempt to right a perceived yet unsubstantiated wrong to a population (females) 40+ years ago. Good job, good effort.

    Several SCOTUS decisions coming out today.....

    Well, a few things. One, it is true. https://hxstem.substack.com/p/the-mit-gender-admissions-controversy Two, your historical premise is false. I was admitted in 1985; my class was 33% female. At the time they had started their first attempt to DEI-wedge a 50/50 class, as each subsequent class had 5% higher females. This carried on into the 90s, when they finally realized they were destroying their brand as the school for the top technical minds. So the pendulum swung back, and then back to DEI again. The latest court cases against such behavior are still working themselves out. Three, I would argue that 33% was already too high. As I stated, women just aren't as interested in engineering as men. That's a stone cold fact. On top of that, what percent of girls fits an MIT persona? Think captain or robotics club, already started a tech company, world ranked in chess. There just aren't that many.

    True. It is much more difficult for a white male, and even moreso an Asian male, to get into MIT than a comparably qualified female or POC.

    The short answer to why there weren't more blacks in my field is, as I thought I implied, there weren't many blacks in electrical engineering. If your question is why THAT is, that's a long socio/economic/education/cultural discussion. For women, there has historically been some misogyny in engineering. But the notion that there should be an equal number of women to men in engineering is just dumb. The simple reality is that women are not generally drawn to engineering. And yet MIT for instance lets in girls at twice the rate as boys, in an attempt to level the field. This is an example of DEI applied incorrectly.

    Seafoam was right. Responding to you just pollutes the board with nonsense. You are a child; you can't admit how wrong you have been with this. I'll try to be better in the future.

    War in Israel

    That was about their bombing during the 12 hour window preceding the ceasefire.

    What is "more qualified"? Better words on a resume? In my profession (before I retired), 95% of the salespeople came up organically through the engineering ranks. The other 5% came from closely adjacent industries. We all knew each other, and knew who was good. I don't think we ever hired a person from outside the industry based on a resume. It didn't matter if you were white, black, yellow, or purple. But the nature of the electrical engineering ranks, certainly decades ago, was mostly white and Asian, with a few Indians and Arabs mixed in. All of those were amply represented in our sales positions.

    War in Israel

    The US is OK with Israel shooting at the aid recipients?

    War in Israel

    Wow, what an admission! So, the US is good with Israel shooting towards people collecting GHF aid supplied by the US and supported by Israel, and if they kill a few, oh well... ? You were gaslit Tim, it's OK, it happens, just move on.

    War in Israel

    So you admit that you were gaslit about Israel shooting people seeking aid?

    War in Israel

    I have no claim on who was doing the shooting; there never seems to be video of that. There is a war going on though, so shooting happens. You, however, claim that it is Israel shooting at and trying to kill Gazan innocents at US-driven aid stations. Apparently the US is complicit in this? Back to Huckabee's tweet: that's a lot of aid that Israel is supporting, when they aren't opening fire on grandmas and toddlers.

    War in Israel

    For @TimHauckand others who use videos of young Palestinian men running with gunfire in the background, yet none of them being hit, as evidence that Israel is opening fire on women and children at Gaza aid stations: The Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) is American-based and Israel-supported. They are finally getting aid to Gazans. Not surprisingly, the UN is upset because UNRWA was helping Hamas steal the aid. And Hamas is apoplectic because control of food and water is one of their last holds over the people. Tim thinks Israeli forces are shooting unarmed people at American aid stations, and that Trump is fine with this and nobody has a video of them actually shooting people. Because DropSiteNews and Al Jazeera told him, via the Hamas Information Minister.

    Rip Dave Parker

    Very sad. Great hitter, cannon arm. Growing up in PA, with the Parker/Stargell Pirates in the late 70s, followed by the Schmidt/Luzinski Phillies in the early 80s, it was a great time to be a PA baseball fan. Heck, we grew up 2 hours from NYC and got WPIX (Yanks) and WOR (Mets) games on TV, so that range of 1976-1984 was just great all around to be a kid who loved baseball. RIP Cobra.
  22. Some day maybe we'll check it out, but we don't binge watch shows; we'll see 3-4 episodes per week typically. We just started The Chosen on Prime which has been quite interesting, which has 6 seasons. By season 6, Dexter isn't worth paying per episode. I was just finishing it out at this point.

    The Japanese hate everyone who isn't Japanese. Seems like your kind of people. Of course it won't hurt the higher end stores. Luxury beliefs never hurt the rich people who push them.

    He's 33, has worked maybe 3 years in his life if you include a failed attempt to be a rapper. I guess that's 3 more years of work experience than Bernie has, so he's got that going for him. These are the future leaders of the Democrat party. Along with AOC, people with no actual real-life wisdom to draw on. Mamdani is the smooth-talking monorail salesman from the Simpsons, only he's selling luxury beliefs that will only hurt the poor.

    According to Eric Adams, taxes would come from... wait for it... the NY State Assembly where Zohran currently serves. So why has he not effected this change while he is in a position to do so? It's a rhetorical question: he's using is as a dog whistle for his young, simple-minded, upper middle class white audience.
