    Lifting thread

    Speaking of which, you can deadlift barefoot. I don't do it myself, but a lot of people like to deadlift with bare feet. The deadlift really works the back when done well. For your legs, the squat is a better exercise. But for me the deadlift is the best lift to learn, when you do start to...

    I stand corrected (and embarrassed): Increasing the tax burden will lower the debt all other things being equal.

    Ukraine Crisis

    President Trump never struck me as dishonest. Just secretive. Which I respect. What's that proverb? Oh yeah. " Sometimes, “ It is the glory of God to conceal a thing” Proverbs 25:2. Sometimes, “ A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.”...

    Ukraine Crisis

    Editorial page in the WSJ is 100% Republican. Apart from Supreme Court justices the WSJ opinions and editorials are peak Republican ideological theory and thought.

    Oil Prices

    No. The market is very competitive and efficient. When retailers need more volume they'll adjust prices in time. In the meantime people are acting a little irrational at the pumps now anyway, it's not exactly pressure right now coming from gasoline consumers, we're all just filling up...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    It's really philosophy* is what you're saying, and I agree 100%. The matters of science that are argued on TOL are not really matters of science, they are matters of philosophy**. * I actually have ethics as the 'umbrella' discipline but that's 'neither here nor there'. ** Including rhetoric...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    Exactly right Marke. @JudgeRightly introduced me to the fact (that was always right in front my face!) that the 'perfect' conditions for abiogenesis is already plentiful----we call them "corpses". And we all know what has NEVER happened! RESURRECTION.* * Exception proves the rule.

    Increasing the tax burden will lower the debt. This can be achieved through economic growth, which is Republican, and through economic growth plus increasing tax 'rates', which is Democratic. America has the lowest tax burden of any of the world's 'developed' economies (and it's not close), so...

    Ukraine Crisis

    Really though, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Associated Press, then Reuters, in that order after the top three (which all together gives you the Republican side, the Democratic side, and the 'world' side of the matter). Reuters is more partisan than the AP.

    I have to say, Jefferson, this made me laugh. I don't know how accurate it is or isn't, but it is funny. lol.

    Guns!

    It's always good to right away consider their reelection plans and prospects. Senator Manchin for example recently couldn't go along with the whole rest of his party because he needs to secure his reelection and he knew his constituency and he knew they would kick him out on his backside if he...

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    No! I said what I said to evoke the response I required. It worked. I'm trying to redeem the dialect of our Christian friend Hoping. He (or she, or neither he nor she) sounds like a cultist right now. Perhaps hope is the route through which to penetrate the man (or woman or intersex human)...

    31 Reasons To Reject The Jab

    It's really remarkable how the quote-unquote "vaccines" work. They 'trick' the body into making the 'real' vaccine, is how these things work. The real vaccine is the spike proteins. You can't get enough spike proteins 'injected'. You'd need gallons of the stuff. So instead of that...

    Lifting thread

    Lifting just makes walking easier. Because you're stronger. Making walking easier is key because when you're healing from injury, walking gets harder because of the injury. So when you need walking to be easier, it will be, because of lifting weights. I just want a medical professional to...

    Recovering from lifting weights requires three things, one is a little light cardio (30-minute walk), and the other two are good sleep and good food.

    Beloved57 are you sure you’re chosen?

    I don't believe the person's been in the thread. The "old" software used to have a neat feature where you could just click a link to a list of all the users who posted in any thread (along with how many posts they made). If this software has that feature, I haven't been able to locate it yet.

    Lifting thread

    It is so important. I'm hoping that a medical professional or the like will 'weigh in' here and corroborate. And another note, thank you for replying to the thread, because it reminds me that you all ladies need to be hearing this just as much as the menfolk (and any intersex folks too just as...
