re: Active Shooter: Brown University

In this entire thread no one has pointed out that if someone were murdered with a gun he would 99 percent of the time be said to have been "shot" which would negate the need to point out a gun was present since you cannot shoot someone with a knife, poison, etc.

Yeah but methinks if he turned muzzie or girlie it would have come out from interviews with his friends but instead we get -


One of Erickson’s former high school classmates, Bryce Jankowski, said he recently exchanged texts with Erickson, who said he was studying at Brown. “He said he was doing good,” Jankowski said. “He said he was living at a hotel because his apartment flooded,” though he said that did not seem to bother him.

Jankowski described Erickson as a well-behaved, smart individual. He did not recall Erickson making any concerning statements, harboring extremist views or having any behavioral challenges. “He was wicked smart.”

A former wrestling teammate from high school, who asked not to be quoted by name, described Erickson as a “pretty nice guy, he was quiet… he becomes really outgoing when you get to know him, but he’s pretty quiet when you don’t.”

Some were speculating before about ties to transgenderis, or Muslim extremism and nothing like that appears to be the case.

I have heard people say that Covid "stole many years" regarding kids and their youth and development. Not sure how you can "give that back" either.

People with obesity and arthritis taking an experimental obesity drug made by Eli Lilly lost more weight than with any drug now on the market, and they reported relief from their arthritis symptoms, the company announced on Thursday. The drug, retatrutide, is a next-generation obesity and diabetes medication from Eli Lilly, which already sells Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for weight loss. These drugs catapulted Lilly in November into becoming the first medical company to hit a trillion-dollar valuation.

Arthritis experts said they were impressed by the effects of retatrutide on knee pain, especially added to the significant weight loss in participants. Dr. MaCalus Hogan, chair of orthopedic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said the results are “a huge step forward in weight loss management and relief of orthopedic pain.” “A tremendous result,” said Dr. David Felson, a rheumatologist at Boston University Medical Center. But he added, most patients with osteoarthritis have lower weights than those in the study. “We need to have data on whether these drugs have the same impressive reduction in knee pain in the majority of knee osteoarthritis patients who are not this obese,” Dr. Felson said.

The clinical trial that found the result lasted 68 weeks and included 445 people with both obesity and knee arthritis. They were randomly assigned to inject one of two doses of retatrutide — nine milligrams or 12 milligrams, once a week, or a placebo. Participants taking the 12-milligram dose of retatrutide lost an average of 28.7 percent of their body weight, or 71.2 pounds. That is more than the average achieved with Zepbound, which results in a 21 percent average weight loss. It was also more weight loss than is typical with Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, which averages 15 percent.

Eli Lilly added that 23.7 percent of participants taking the 12-milligram dose lost at least 35 percent of their initial weight.

This thread has been a puzzling read.

Am I understanding that people who are vaccine skeptics think that mass immigration is to blame for Measles upticks?

But,....wouldn't that mean that all these people coming in from impoverished countries are......vaccinated?

:dunno: :dunno:

There's a range, but the average Amish uses about half the medical services that most Americans do.



Yeah but I think that is because of their lifestyle. Never gonna see an Amish Car Crash. They obviously don't sit around watching TV, And the words sedentary lifestyle dont apply to them.
So I opened the chart to look more closely. The writing is almost impossible to read but the authors conclude that in every 22 condition the no vacced were better off, but where does the chart they have show that?

They also show some conditions where zero kids were NOT vaccinated, so how can they make that claim?

Here is the data table, I dont see where they get their conclusions.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a new batch of photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, including images of Donald Trump and several other powerful figures in the late sex offender’s circle.

Trump has distanced himself from Epstein and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

One photo shows the real estate mogul with six women, whose faces have been blurred out by the committee. A grinning Trump is sporting a suit while the women are wearing leis around their necks.

Another image shows a collection of condoms — going for $4.50 each — depicting a caricature of Trump’s face above the phrase: “I’m HUUUUGE!”
The Independent has asked the White House for comment on the photos.

“These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!”

But Republicans on the panel have called the batch of photos “cherry-picked.”

“Once again, Oversight Democrats are chasing headlines by releasing a handful of selectively censored and cherry-picked photos from the Epstein Estate. Democrats' hoax against President Trump has been completely debunked,” the GOP-led Oversight Committee wrote on X. “Nothing in the documents we've received shows any wrongdoing. Ranking Member Robert Garcia and Oversight Democrats should be ashamed of this disgusting behavior of putting politics above justice for the survivors.



No good Christmas parties take place at companies bought out by Private Equity.

Some friends of mine in a radio group that was family owned told me the owners went all out, lots of gift given from advertisers, two live bands, huge hall rented and all you can eat and drink.

Then the next year they got bought out by Private Equity. They were told no Christmas Party and their gift from the company was a Ham from Costco.
