That’s not a buffet. It’s just the way they serve your food. Trays instead of plates.

Obviously, any BBQ made or consumed by a Texas Democrat would have to be fake.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I was wondering the same thing. I’m sure there are plenty of Texans who would call other styles of BBQ fake, but I want to know what fake Texas BBQ is.

Some of the best BBQ out there is served on lunchroom trays. I’m partial to 4Rivers Smokehouse here in Florida.

the cervical block would likely be more painful than the procedure itself. For those who experience a lot of pain, sedation should be an option. Self-administered nitrous should be available as well. More options are needed. More conversations between provider & patient are needed about the

I had local anesthetic for my vasectomy. And that was sufficient and appropriate for me. My brother-in-law opted for IV sedation. At least we had options. For IUD insertions and colposcopies, women in the US should have more options. For those who experience relatively little pain,

Here in the USA. My wife (a PA) performs them in office. She has been advocating for additional pain control options (like nitrous oxide), but the medical directors haven’t yet adopted any other options than local anesthetic (cervical block).

Be glad she has that option. My wife performs colposcopies in office. She can give local anesthetic (a cervical block), but IV sedation is not an option the medical directors have provided.

I’ve known people who simply have no ear - for music, languages, accents, etc. They’ve spent decades here in the US, are completely fluent in English (slang, colloquialisms, everything), and still have a thick accent.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Which, interestingly enough, these guidelines actually point out.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

At least they mentioned the potential for infertility in these guidelines.

Not guilty doesn’t mean innocent. Not guilty means the prosecution did not present enough solid evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

You have to ignore the vast majority of the women who were still pregnant to get a sensationalized, fear-mongering, own the libs kind of headline.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Yep. To get to the 80-something percent, they took the 827 completed pregnancies and removed everyone who had received the vaccine in their third trimester since miscarriages don’t happen in the 3rd trimester. 80+% of the remaining completed pregnancies were miscarriages.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

There is a preliminary study from 2020 of the COVID-19 vaccine which can be misinterpreted and twisted to yield that 82% number. There is a meme to that effect which is currently circulating.

According to the article, the charges are based on videos posted in 2024. The sex occurred when he was 18 and she was 17.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Yep. My thoughts too. Tell us which 2 days were his — I’m guessing the day/night before the ER trip was one of them.

020

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I was wondering which 2 of the previous 11 days the girl was in his care. Saying 9 out of the previous 11 days she was in her mom’s care is meaningless if she had just been in his care for the last day or two.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Exactly. Those are the real “other reasons”.

A new Florida law effective 1/1/27 will require all newly issued Driver Licenses to indicate citizenship status on the front of the license. I think that would qualify. Of course, it means I would have to renew/replace my DL well ahead of its 2029 expiration date - likely at a cost to me.

Will there be any prosecutions if citizens are prevented from voting because of overzealous attempts to prevent noncitizens from voting?

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

With our existing & long-running trade deficit with China, Chinese individuals, companies, and their government have extra US dollars to spend. A lot of those dollars come back to the US through the purchase of land and buildings. Unfortunately, this fact has been turned into fear, rage, & racism.

010

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

There is a very small kernel of truth hiding behind the Republican fear-mongering and scare tactics around Chinese individuals and the Chinese government buying up US land.

Random thought: I saw JFC and thought about KFC, the restaurant, since KFC is very popular in China. (They even have one in the Beijing Airport.)

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

That said, having the US President calling the head of FIFA to get the suspension lifted (deferred, whatever) is just plain wrong. I would rather have 4 years of complaining, “We were robbed by bad reffing.”

I agree that if it was a foul, it was a Yellow Card at worst. Having cleats scrape down the back of your leg and straight down onto your ankle is bad. And it could have been a lot worse. Unfortunately, the slow-mo on VAR made it look horrific.

A Black person who has birthright citizenship and who decided only 3 years ago to switch from playing for England to playing for the USA. In any other context, the President would be vilifying him.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Lots of possible reasons, but minimizing the number of non-Christian chaplains by de-legitimizing non-Christian religions/spiritualities is probably the primary one. Evangelicals have traditionally believed all non-Christian religious groups are wrong and Satanically-inspired.

000

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Maybe the President was thinking of a job fair - where prospective employers all have booths - and then decided to do that with all of the States. Presto! A State Fair. Not knowing or realizing what a State Fair actually is.

Beach volleyball is hyper feminine? As a sport it is quite demanding and athletically rigorous. Or are you referring to the skimpy uniforms maximizing the amount of skin being shown? ;-)

It will be used, in part, for determining needs for service chaplains. However, this is the only list of choices for members of the armed forces to identify their religious affiliation.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Numerical based on how many adherents there are for each religious group/subgroup. For example, an Orthodox rabbi and a Reform rabbi are not interchangeable. You have to have a way to count. They reduced a new list which shrank down from ~200 religions/denominations/sects to 30-something.

dnstat71.bsky.social @dnstat71.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

This may be incompetence as opposed to malice. Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christian Scientists are still on the list of “Christian-xxx” sects.
