Did any of those soldiers actually keep that medal anyway? That seems like one of those things they would be trying their hardest to forget, keeping the medal would have sucked.

Despite most people saying it didn't quite live up to the hype, maybe I had an appropriate amount of hype, cuz it totally lived up to the hype for me. Even initially when it was still pretty buggy at launch. Though I have also gone back and played it in VR too. I played a melee character at launch, knowing that it was going to be the most stable for the turbulent times. Then I played a precision shooter as my next character once the game got pretty fixed/stable. Then I played my tech/"caster" in VR once the game was fully good and ran well enough on my hardware that I could get comfortable frame rates(at least 90fps) using all the features the Luke Ross mod now supports for making VR look good at easy-to-run settings.

Because it was a useful thing that happened at a prime time for being manipulated in their favour.

I just mean listing the source as "the CDC" currently isn't disproving that it's made up anymore.

It may be accurate, but not because it is from the CDC anymore.

Right after the article mentions their rules of engagement in that situation being that they should have backed away from the moving car, it then states that the action would likely be considered justified due to the officer being in danger.... from choosing to hold on to the moving car? Like his injuries are clearly because he didn't let go of the car until it was going fast enough that he fell off and skidded... that seems like his choice and not something the driver did.

They are not authorised or recommended to use force to prevent a "suspect" from fleeing.

Yeah, after deleting any data the CDC used to have that they didn't agree with. And making up any new data they need to make their preconceived notion as perceivably supported as possible.

Tylenol was already suspected and debunked. Just another dead horse they want to resurrect so they can beat it again.

It'll be petroleum chambers this time, gotta find some new uses for that stuff to justify the continued production.

Well, I suppose if they could appeal to anyone to enter the states right now, it would be people who 'enjoy' big risk gambling...

It is still hard to believe, but yes, he has been president twice now, the first time was indeed during 2019. It is also sometimes hard to believe 2019 was long enough ago that there have been multiple president changes since then.

But if you'll recall, Trump was president when Covid 19 started. He ignored and then downplayed it for so long that he is largely responsible for a huge portion of the americans it killed. And due to how out of control it got, and to a degree still is, especially lately since it is back on the rise now, potentially also responsible for a decent portion of the non-americans it has killed too. He shares that with a lot of other terrible leaders though.

That makes more sense.

That's fair, there are other methods, but they are slower and lower "resolution". That is probably the angle.

 

I assume they are two separate patents by two separate companies, but once those are both on the same can opener, there will be no reason to buy any other manual can opener. So when is the first one expiring?
