    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    I initially misread that as "pants". I know some food stuffs does have an evacuatory effect on the digestive system, but after you shit your pants a couple of times, most people seek medical attention.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    A small study cohort, however if participating, he likely would have skewed the result. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2095627/

    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    That sounds like a "you" problem rather than an "it" problem.

    Ken Dryden PC OC, 1947-2025

    Mr. Dryden once visited CFE (Lahr and Baden) under the auspices of being a guest speaker for the "Canadian Club of Southern Germany". At the time, the president of the Canadian Club was the CO of 4 Fd Amb (an appointed secondary duty), but the day to day arrangements for the Canadian Club...

    The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?

    While it's been years since I've been to the UK or passed through Heathrow Airport, one of the things I noticed, even going back to the 1980s, was that every uniformed police officer I saw in the airport was armed (a goodly portion of them with MP5s). I don't know if plainclothes officers at...

    "Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

    Unless it had been grown in a lab/factory and had never been in a field in which things crap.

    High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    And in an historical and pop culture vein. https://abcnews.go.com/US/famed-sheriff-inspired-walking-tall-movie-implicated-wifes/story?id=125126955 Wonder if it will affect visits to what seems to be a significant local tourist attraction in the community of Adamsville TN...

    Fourth Emergency Service

    I see it as a way to devolve police and EMS from doing non-police/EMS functions. My experience of responding to MH calls is very limited and long, long ago. Military medics don't/didn't get many ambulance calls, so for me it was mostly responding to ruckuses in the mess that resulted in some...

    Fourth Emergency Service

    That what I meant by "mob-handed". Should have been more explicit.

    Fourth Emergency Service

    So just like paramedics, police and firefighters (as well as nurses, social workers or any other occupation that provides direct services to sometimes challenging individuals) who are injured in the course of their employment. It would be interesting to see a comparison of job related injury...

    Fourth Emergency Service

    Infantrymen are trained to provide indirect fire support using mortars. Artillerymen are trained to provide indirect fire support using guns/howitzers/missiles. Despite best efforts of the Canadian Army, they are not interchangeable. Paramedics are trained to provide primary emergency care...

    U.S. Space Command HQ: Colorado => Alabama

    In addition to the GAO report, the other analysis of the decision/non-decision (?) of should it stay or should it go (to borrow from The Clash) was done by the DoD Inspector General. Evaluation of DoD Roles and Processes Leading up to the July 2023 Basing Decision for the U.S. Space Command...

    Self Defence in Canada (split from Gun Control 2.0)

    Reading through your spitball, seeing terms such as "lawful occupant", the question popped into my little grey cells how such a "Stand On Guard" right principle would apply in more communal settings (college dorms, barracks, etc). In shared accomodations, would unwanted intrusions into the...

    Our North - SSE Policy Update Megathread

    Those not carrying extra body fat may be at a disadvantage if not taking in the necessary daily calories required to live, work and fight in the North, but my experience is it's not the skinny who die (or suffer cold injury) but the stupid. Common sense rules. Stay dry and rested. Eat, but...

    End of an era at Cracker Barrel

    In other times there would be an expected backlash from one constituency who'll boycott the restaurant (passively or actively) as a reaction to Trump's interference. But, hanging my argument on stereotypes, there's the other constituency, who may be the expected demographic of existing Cracker...

    End of an era at Cracker Barrel

    Football (real footie, a game played with feet) is the most watched (and played) sport. And, with some odd exceptions around the world, they don't have cheerleaders (female or male). That's because footie fans come to watch a game that doesn't stop every six to ten seconds and don't need to be...

    End of an era at Cracker Barrel

    Who the fuk is "Uncle Herschel"? Never seen him on any cheese packages. It's not like he was an Aunt Jemima character.
