I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Layer cake is an actual term of applicable art, for what it's worth. There's other euphemisms involving various sorts of cake, too.

The nu variant is just like the new variant, it just has more style, uses shades and a cap backwards...
You know what's up!

Also it reminds me of Nu-Metal, which I like. So I'm glad they didn't pick it.

Edit: shit I missed your Linkin Park joke :D

At least bumber's not trying to contest that a non-white terrorism linked vigilante that did make it to court after gunning people down in the street wouldn't have much of a chance of being cleared of all charges anymore, I guess. Still having trouble understanding the words "fairly likely", but it's getting there.

I do contest that, but there aren't any examples of a non-white Rittenhouse, AFAIK. Arbinire gave examples of people who received acquittals, at least.

The burden of proof is on you to support your statement that "if the killer had been black or middle eastern, it's fairly likely they wouldn't have even survived to reach court, nevermind seen an acquittal", not me to disprove it.

Rittenhouse might have been convicted on the gun possession charge if it actually applied to the rifle he used. (Assuming the judge didn't overturn it given all the rules the prosecution broke, including not turning over all evidence. Stuff like that is why people like Bill Cosby are free.)



Thanksgiving is a meal that was historically eaten just "when something good happens" according to the Puritans when they arrived on this shore. "Thank you God for what you have given us etc." It was a habit in England before any colonization happened.

Here, it eventually became almost synonymous with meals that happened after raids on Native American settlements and acquisition of their food stores.

It's always been about that one time that Native Americans fed and taught some pilgrims to survive, to me. Apparently, they made a treaty that at least lasted beyond the lifetimes of those who signed it. (Like 50 years or so.)

Sole question: Was there a new Covid variant identified by the WHO in Africa and that's why Trump banned travel from Africa at the time?

IIRC, Trump's ban affected only prospective immigrants without visas. If you had a visa or citizenship, you were unaffected. I believe Joey B's affects literally everyone who is physically located in those African nations.

If all of the above is true, then yes, one is effective at preventing a new strain of Covid from entering the nation, and the other is effective at preventing black people from immigrating to the US.

The Trump ban being referred to was related to terrorism. Biden's COVID ban has an exception for US citizens and permanent residents.

If he's gonna ban travel to prevent Covid, then he needs to ban travel to prevent Covid. Unless there's something in the law that says he can't blanket ban, and citizens/VISA holders are entitled to entry. Is that a thing?

EDIT: Which terrorist groups were coming from Africa, at the time?

Both sound revisionist. I always thought the school-taught image of Pilgrims and Native Americans breaking bread together to be completely at odds with how they were treated by the US government and westward expansionists not much later.

The truth is likely somewhere in the middle of the two. I'm sure some NA and Pilgrims lit each other up, just like some probably got along.
