Judging from this group of characters, scientists would conclude exposure to lead correlates to a significant increase in intelligence. Then one of you would surely monkey wrench the study by introducing them to the site that shall not be named.I would agree that if one was able to measure individual intelligence of the adults on earth and plot the results on a graph, the curve of the graph would take on the classic bell curve shape. However, the middle of the bell curve, where most people land, isn’t very impressive. So, saying someone is a little above average intelligence isn’t saying much. Average intelligence is NOT impressive.
Like all distributions that plot out to a bell curve, the middle is simply where most samples fall, it doesn’t mean the middle is great. It just means the middle is crowded. P.T. Barnum knew it, advertisers know it, politicians know it, attorneys attempting to sway a jury know it, Jim Jones of Jonestown, Guyana knew it, Casino owners know it, every con man on earth knows it.
It’s not hard to deceive the average person because the average person isn’t all that bright.
The ends of the bell curve of intelligence represent the profoundly limited people on one end and the incredibly smart people on the other end. There are not many people in those extremes, but I would submit the middle of the curve is pretty damn sad in terms of what “Average” actually is.
Im waiting on a good deal for aa7 powder,,ive about decided,that 7 is the best accuracy powder,in about every handgun i own.and it makes big time speed,if wanted.im gonna lay in a life time supply,when i find a deal,,the wife is gonna be so happy.....Went out for a ride today to check out a store I get powder at. It is about 80 miles from me but also has some good food out there.
Here is how bad we are being robbed on powders. They always have a huge amount of powders available. But if they can sell this at these prices then it shows how bad we are being taken. I grabbed a bunch of the Longshot and 11fs. And the 5th edition lyman shotshell book. My 4th is falling apart and I have lost a few pages.
7 is dee bomb,in 10mm!!AA#7 work well in full throttle 9mm loads. Also, been loading it in my 357 LCR, lately. I keep an 8#er around. Clean burning, to boot.
I have a stash of them, bought a box about the size of a Kleenex box. I'd wear one to go into places I had to go into that requires them. I think I used five of them. Might be useful if the next virus turns out to be the size of a grain of salt.I'd bet that almost 50% of the Lemming population WILL and probably already have a stash of masks to wear.
Not a political word in my thread Bret and none intended. Maybe I just should have said: FOLLOW THE SCIENCE.Standing by for the "Don't get political" scolding...
darn the luck.it’s comply or be stuck in Alaska
I agree with you, but the hosts here take a different view.Not a political word in my thread Bret and none intended. Maybe I just should have said: FOLLOW THE SCIENCE.
If you can "smell" thru a mask it wont stop this virus.Masks were never intended to stop you from getting sick. Masks were to reduce sick people from spreading disease.
Learned that 45 years ago doing my EMT/Medic surgery training. That is why doctors wear them and not the patient.
