Dude . . . you do not block by catching. You block by blocking or redirecting. Neither requires you to snatch an assailants fist mid air. No competent martial artist or self defense instructor would ever suggest you even try catch a fist.
My friend, you have to catch a fist in midair to block it.
Thats not how you block. No self defense arts will have you attempting something so idiotic.
Pretty sure Florida doesn't need to do much to address the economic fallout of covid because, you know, they didn't destroy their state's economy.
any reason
Senator Joe Manchin.
My friend, how can you block a punch without catching it first?
Because you don't catch a fist to block it.
State involvement if adjudication rate exceeds a certain threshold
Don't think I've seen any other state introduce that yet, but I think its great. When you have adjudication rates hundreds of times above historical norms, it should be heavily scrutinized.
Need to update your meme. She wasn't equipped with a hammer fired Beretta. She was clearly holding a striker fired Glock model.
Way back when I was in grade school, we had a couple migrant students in our classes every school year. They didn't speak English, so they really couldn't do the typical schoolwork. They just spent a couple hours working with an ESL teacher.
Sokay . . . I sincerely doubt Liz Cheney is going to be in an elected position by 2024.
No, it doesn't. The Constitution doesn't give a number for the quantity of SCOTUS judges. It would need 60 Senators to vote in support of it, but it wouldn't need to be ratified by any State Legislatures.
You look at various medical practices humans have had over the millennia, even those after the Renaissance and into the modern era and its a wonder we haven't wiped ourselves out through sheer stupidity.
They do not care if it is legal or not.
The Constitution doesn't actually specify the number of SCOTUS judges. Legislation, if passed and signed into law, would be legal. It'd permanently destroy the US Supreme Court, but it'd be legal.
People used to take arsenic, mercury, and all other types of poison like strychnine to treat certain ailments. Just because scientists thought something was "the best" at one time doesn't mean it will never be improved!!
Shit man, a marathon runner in the 1904 Olympics was given strychnine and brandy.
Hicks, one of the early American favorites, came under the care of a two-man support crew at the 10-mile mark. He begged them for a drink but they refused, instead sponging out his mouth with warm distilled water. Seven miles from the finish, his handlers fed him a concoction of strychnine and egg whites—the first recorded instance of drug use in the modern Olympics. Strychnine, in small doses, was commonly used a stimulant, and at the time there were no rules about performance-enhancing drugs. Hicks’ team also carried a flask of French brandy but decided to withhold it until they could gauge the runner’s condition.
There was also the whole 'Radithor' debacle . . . radium infused water as a health drink.

Within two years, Eben Byers was dead. His jaw had rotted off, and he had anemia and a brain abscess to boot. He was so radioactive, he was buried in a lead-lined coffin.
There's some pictures of Eben Byers floating around . . . they're more graphic than the Radium Girls.
Next Republican president better be signing pardons for every single one of these disgraceful persecutions immediately after his inauguration speech. This vindictive crap is straight out of Communist countries.
I assume this is a re-introduce, because I think they introduced similar legislation last session too? Either way, I'm all for it.
Need to have "SBRs" removed as well. The rules around stocks, braces, and barrels lengths are a convoluted mess. The only viable solution is to remove all restrictions on them.
Shit. I would have saved a video of that to watch every time I feel a little down.
My friend, blocking and catching a punch are the same thing.
No, they are not. By the loosest definitions of the English language. This isn't even a redirect, a type of block that slightly turns an attackers blow to avoid you. He straight up catches the man's forearm in mid air.
You won't slow it down. You won't stop it. If you attempt to catch a punch in mid air, you're going to take that fist to the face and end up on LiveLeak martial arts fails.
My dude, blocking a punch is catching a punch. If you have the proper technique and speed, you can easily block a punch.
No. Those are not the same thing. In the video, the man catches the punch mid flight by the forearm. This is a staged video. You're not going to pull that off in any real world scenario. In the world world, this scenario ends the man taking a fist to the face.
They can't. Not just because they don't exist, but because it might encourage people to actually read those documents.
My dude, if you’re quick enough, and you have the proper technique. You can easily block a punch.
I didn't say block, blocks are an integral part of virtually all martial arts. I said 'catch'. You are neither going to catch a punch in mid air nor be able to stop that punch with such a catch.
I could use a new pair of boots . . . what stores are we going to be looting? /s
What Could the New Administration’s Impact Be on U.S. Manufacturing?
Uh . . . kinda doubtful much will be left after the Xiden Administration. US Manufacturing was seeing consistent declines through the Bush 43 and Obama administrations. The only positive gains were seen during the Trump administration.
Ironically, leftists complained they couldn't get the decent paying factory jobs their parents once had then complained with such jobs started coming back. Now they're being wiped out at an even more accelerated rate.
"Twenty years in, we can't continue to do the same thing and expect that we're going to get different results. It can't be an endless war," Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, told reporters Wednesday.
"I've been to Afghanistan; it's a rough part of the world. This comes from someone who comes from a rough part of Brooklyn," Jeffries added. "But, we can't be the policemen for the world either. It's not our job."
So Dems are back to being anti war-ish. I agree though, it is a propaganda victory for the Taliban. They get to notch another 'empire' onto the Graveyard of Empires.
But you know what? I don't really give a shit. We've been there for 20 years. The troops we're sending there now weren't even born when the war started. We've spent trillions of US dollars and thousands of US lives to accomplish a fat load of nothing. If Islamists want to destroy their own countries, thats on them. We shouldn't be sending soldiers there to teach them how to civilization.
When the Germans realize the JSDF actually has a modern, highly advanced navy.
Kinda disagree with Ngo here, about it being more difficult due to trust. Its not like they're going to be held in custody or anything. This criminal clown was charged with 5 felonies and released within a day without bail. Zero consequences, zero ramifications.
