Arizona sheriff's 'Citizens Posse' allows residents to be deputized

After residents have a minimal background check and sign a waiver, they will learn the basics of constitutional law, search and seizure, basic firearm safety, home safety, and the use of force before being deputized.

You can't prove they didn't have a corpse.

Just saw this on T-Nation. While technically training-related, it seems too crazy to post anywhere but here.

https://www.t-nation.com/living/tip-is- ... your-gains

Without mouthwash, the participants' systolic blood pressure had an average reduction of -5.2 mmHg at one hour after exercise. When the group gargled an antibacterial mouthwash, however, the average systolic blood pressure had an average reduction of -2.0 mmHg at the same time point (more than a 60% difference).

These numbers don't impress me much.
-not a scientist
-not a statistician
-didn't read the source study

I have noticed short elevations in my own heart rate when I drink water between cardio intervals. Probably something about holding your breath or whatever while drinking (or gargling).

The changes noted in the participants after rinsing with mouthwash suggests that the oral microbiome may be a key component in initiating post-workout recovery.

Logical conclusion is logical.

23 people in this test? lol

Killing those bacteria in your mouth will reduce the reduction of dietary nitrate to nitrite, which could reduce NO in your system. NO dilates blood vessels and does lower blood pressure. NO is very important for certain other things too. I figure, why take a chance?

The Satanic Temple and the Church of Satan are two very different groups.

A possible haphazard analogy-
TST:CoS::Jonathan Swift:Ayn Rand

Kinda like this


-Not a Satanist; LaVeyan, TST or otherwise
-Dont own a robe, crystals or fancy candles
-had my picture taken with their Baphomet statue though...

Yeah, doing pretty much anything during pregnancy is not a great idea. Even just stress experienced by the mother can have permanent effects on an embryo's brain (ie. a larger amygdala, less-developed frontal cortex, etc), effects that will also be passed on to the child's descendants.

Witnesses in Portland say two men threw three homemade explosives at protesters early on the morning of Aug. 8. Although no one was harmed and the men do not appear to have been filmed, citizen journalist Scott Keeler pursued a man spotted in the area and filmed his face. Activists and Oregon Public Broadcasting identified the man as Louis Garrick Fernbaugh, a former SEAL and CIA contractor. Fernbaugh, 52, has been named by police as a person of interest, but not charged with a crime.
