So ... Jeet Kune Do

Like any martial art, it's more about the instructor than it is the art. The Jeet Kune Do I've seen, mostly from a few Dan Inosanto seminars, or people under him, moves a lot like Panantuken (Filipino empty handed arts), but then again Dan Inosanto teaches that as well. I have to say to his credit, ...

Netflix Physical 100

I'm four episodes into it. I sometimes ride my stationary bike while watching. Pretty entertaining.

I do wonder about the English speakers, and whether the translations are close to what they were really saying, or simple scripting.

9/10 ppl I have spoken to who like electric cars think energy is made by battery

Not terribly surprising. They are also the same people that have no idea what is under the hood and how it works. Those people at least are enlightened enough to know they need gas, but have no idea where it comes from or how it's made.

Mass Shootings in America

The problem gun control supporters are trying to address (40,000 firearms death per year) is not relatively small, especially because they are quite preventable. I saw some imbeciles pointing at Abe's assassination like, "LOL gun laws don't work" and ignoring that Japan had 9 firearms dea...

Mass Shootings in America

Remember, more people die from auto-erotic asphyxiation than from being shot by an AR-15. When there is a mass shooting, everyone at the event is a terror victim, not just the dead folks. When you auto-erotic asphyxiate, only the guy in the stall next to you is traumatized. Maybe. Is that just a re...

I'm going to ask you, Bram, what Nafod refuses to answer. There are 15,000,000 such rifles in private hands. How do you intend to get them out of circulation? The key is illegality and/or liability. Require insurance to own one, and you’ll see them filling landfills. Even if you required insurance,...

A friend of mine went to high school in Highland Park. A friend of hers was at the shooting with her family.

That is not part of the 2nd amendment, as is made clear by the opening predicate, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State…” Some people think the 2nd Amendment is vague. Some people think "well regulated" through the glasses of govt regulations of today,...

I’d settle for not ignoring the “well regulated militia” preface that the right is predicated on.

Guns are unsafe. Allowing torts would lead gun manufacturers to adopt precautionary marketing practices, safer designs, and more supervised sales regimes. Not put them out of business, just steer them to making and selling a product that does less damage to the citizenry. Gun violence costs us bill...

I can’t argue that we’re a violent country, you’ve got great statistics on that. I do feel that the country as a whole is basically standing outside that classroom door while those children are being killed, like those Uvalde cops did, I.e., we’re doing nothing. Just accepting it. Got to break some...

There are some 80,000+ elementary schools in the US with over 25,000,000 kids in them. Probably all of them practice active shooter drills, with kids hiding under desks, running to closets, practicing sneaking out the windows while someone invariably with an AR15 hunts them down. They all wonder if...
