Because it returns such a great profit for hospitals and big pharma

The roots are much more likely to be in the fact that Christians viewed suicide as a mortal sin up until fairly recently, and a lot of them still hold the belief.

Laws regarding attempted suicide and assisted suicide far predate the medical and drug industries being profit centers.

It’s like what did you expect to happen?

In football when you have the ball you are rarely concerned about what is behind you, in rugby you have to have a constant awareness of where everyone is behind you since it is likely you will be getting rid of the ball. A typical football head down style when you are expecting contact prevents the field awareness that is critical to rugby.

Lowering taxes will help the economy (which raised tax revenue)

It is super simple yet so hard for people to comprehend

What is the t* on the Laffer Curve for the US economy currently? Please show your work, and it should be "simple". If you can do that simply and accurately then you will have a Nobel Prize with your name on it.

Anyone that wants to go back to mechanical distributors has lost their minds. Tune-up? What's a tune-up? Most modern cars will never need such a thing. Plugs on a decently designed engine will last most if not the entire life of the engine. Then you had distributors on the back of engines like the infinite wisdom of GM and Mopar, at least Ford put them where you could easily get to them. Don't forget you have to measure dwell with a strobe. Carburetors and mechanical distributors needed to die in a fire and fortunately did. Rejetting a carb on a hot engine between trips down the track because the DA was different than last week was a PITA, now the computer does it and even if you want to overide the computer a couple of minutes with the laptop and you are good to go.

I always order using the place's app. Usually has discounts and don't have to worry about how someone else puts your order in.

Since the late COVID/post COVID price pressures on fast food most of them have gone to a two-tier pricing system: app prices and menu prices. The difference is often remarkable and you usually get ~10% "back" in some form of account that you can use on a later purchase.

And I have never seen an instance of the OPs original thesis

I have no idea how that is possible unless you are making the distinction of seen versus heard, "verse" has been spreading across the oral language like a plague of locusts for several years now.

At 35% less than Brett Favre's shack it looks like a steal. Plus you get to look at the Wasatch range and not MS.

you know what they say about bringing a knife to a gunfight

I am killing him and I will explain why.

1. Every second I spend dealing with the trio of allied healthcare professionals lowers Ellie's and my chance of getting out of there alive. I don't have time to waste subduing and restraining him and potentially the scrub nurses. It well could be me or them, I have the advantage and I ain't giving it up.

2. I am not wounding him that is a tenant of carrying a deadly weapon. If you chose to use it you kill. Closing with him even if it requires a lucky strike I could be laying in the floor bleeding out from a punctured femoral artery.

3. I stopped him from murdering what is effectively my surrogate daughter, and even if I don't admit i,t her safety is in my charge. By setting aside his morals (I assume) and his ethical duty, even for some seemingly Utilitarian pursuit, he clearly eshewed those tenets of his former world. I am just meeting him in the mental world he has accepted.

4. He raised a deadly weapon to me, and said, "I won't let you take her." Sorry doc you chose the fight I just ended it. We ain't in Kansas anymore, everyday is life or death. I got shite to do and places to be and don't have time for your shenanigans. I can't safely, quickly and effectively deal with three people, any one of which could go rouge and kill Ellie and make my efforts moot. Plus, while I am disarming him one of the nurses could come up behind me and hit me with a big fat syringe of milk of amnesia.

I really like that dial!

Borealis is a micro-brand from Portugal. All their watches are named after places in Portugal. Cacais is a little town on the coast just west of Estoril and farther west of Lisbon. The dial is supposed to be reminiscent of the cobblestone streets in Cacais which have really cool fine designs much nicer than the best in NOLA like what you find in Armstrong park.
