  1. I loved my Tundra, but the experience when I bought it and service after was so lousy I refused to replace it with another.  Id rather do my business in GF, so I think this is a good deal.

    Fitting name to attach to the HPC. I do find it interesting, however, that J. Hadju had to weigh in on it via twitter calling the naming "long overdue." Really Hadju? The building opened in 2015. Nothing about it has been long. So glad that smug SJW moved on from UND. Blame Canada, ya hoser.

    thats a really weird thing to be upset about.  Im guessing you are great at parties.

    Wonder how many college teams have had numerous walk-ons make it to the NHL.  Phil Sykes, Matt Henderson, Jay Caulfield, and Cole Smith.  Any that I am missing? I know Caulfield had a football scholarship and was injured, but don’t think he had hockey scholarship.

    apparently smith had a 20% scholly at the start.

    As to JBD, he's not even a US citizen so kneeling for the US anthem doesn't really put him out on a limb.  Similar to what Matt Dumba did at the start of the NHL pod, a Canadian player takes a knee for the US anthem, but I don't recall seeing him do it during a Canadian national anthem.  I guess coming from a country with a leader that has been seen in full black face isn't a problem.  

    And for the moderators that are probably starting to get twitchy fingers, 2 players changed the trajectory of this thread as did Schlossman, it wasn't any one person on this thread.  If Schlossman is reading this STICK TO HOCKEY!  That's the only reason people follow you.  

    You are what you despise the most.  

    A Snowflake.

    Carry on.

    No one is preventing YOU from following the recommendations of the CDC.  And no one is preventing YOU from according Covid-19 whatever degree of concern YOU deem appropriate.

    If asking YOU to leave ME out of your decision-making makes ME a "cultist," "circle jerker," or "Trumptard," so be it.  Sure beats the hell out of letting you impose whatever it is that you seek to impose on me.

    (See how I did that without using any derogatory labels or name-calling?  It's easy...you should give it a try.)

    how do you feel about women's rights to choose?

    They both involve humans making decisions..... which opens up the process to potential bias....which is where the real problem can potentially be.  Apples to apples.  So a researcher has never helped a study along or presented it in a slightly misleading manner to ensure that he/she received continued funding?

    Google, Peer reviewed study.

    Take off tinfoil hat.

    Let's hope that is truly the way it always works but also let's not pretend that it doesn't hurt to know someone even in the holy medical community.  After all, a deathbed alcoholic Mickey Mantle got a liver transplant at the snap of a finger over how many other people that were waiting in line?

    Liver transplants are not the same thing as research done to determine treatment effectiveness of medications.

    Eventually yes, that is how it occurs.  However does it always occur that way early on in the process?  Are you saying that with promising trials that no strings are ever pulled to get certain people admitted to the trial?  That those in certain positions don't have early information on whether a treatment is showing promise or not well before it's been fully vetted?  

    Most studies are blinded, so the researchers dont know who is getting what specific treatment.   Only when there is negative outcomes do they intervene early in a trial.

    And let's also not forget that if one thinks that Trump has interfered with the scientific process in the US....what would be the correct way to describe China's control over researchers in that country?

    Im not making that argument.

    One thing that some people never figure out....the rich and the powerful often have information that the public does not have.  If you knew that Warren Buffett (at least in his prime) was getting ready to invest in a company and you couldn't figure out why......the smart bet would have been to invest money in that company.  If you see the city engineer moving stuff out of his house before a flood.......you would be well advised to clear out your house too because water is probably a coming.  When you see a rich/wealthy person getting a treatment for a condition, don't underestimate the fact that they may be doing it with knowledge that you aren't privy too.  

    That is not how medicine works.

    Unlike most other professions, the medical community shares treatment information, once vetted by the scientific process, for the good of all humans, not just the wealthy ones.

    Not quite sure what you're talking about. I haven't seen much in the way of toxic comments recently. Seems like there was some confusion or what the issue was, and how it was or was not addressed, but I didn't see anything overly negative or putting people down ... did I miss something?

     

    Sorry, probably was wrong thread to post in. Definitely a strange take out of context.
    I guess I’ve had enough of the politicized Sioux sports. Everyone thinks they know everything and thinks snark makes them Smarter or more whatever they’re trying to accomplish. 
    carry on.
