That's basically all it is. Rhinoviruses don't hang with zinc. The vitamin C is probably just to keep you from gagging on the taste.

It's the quickest way to tell if it's a cold or some other flu. If Zycam works, it's some variant of a rhinovirus, and it'll be dead in a couple days. If it doesn't work, you've made some other viral friend. The other cold like strains don't seem to give a shit about zinc, so if it's not immediately obvious it's working within about 30 minutes, move on to other remedies. If it is working, don't over do it, you can fuck up your sinuses with too much zinc.

People still get a cold? I haven't seen one since zicam became a thing. Lots of flu variations fucking people up though.

I could BE a benevolent dictator, I could never BECOME a benevolent dictator. The process of getting there would exclude me, because I would reject the power structure needed to form the dictatorship in the first place.

It doesn't matter if he's right or wrong. Making the assertion means he's an idiot.

You are way too invested in this bullshit. Go touch some grass.

They're hoping to use the same play book that was used against the KKK. Sue their funding out of existence.

The problem being the groups they're going to target have far broader protections than the klan did back in the day. And also they know the plan, and several methods to counter it.

When I was doing sales, every 2 weeks. Now that I don't ever see a client, I buzz cut once a year. Might go 2 years this time so I can be a proper Gandalf for Halloween.

It's a devolving quest to repair their ratings.

Finally, be believes that the caliber used was not 30.06, that the visible wound is simply too small to indicate a 30.06, that it is more likely a lower caliber round.

Flaming pile of bullshit, that gives everything else away as also a bunch of bullshit.

Mortuary assistant. And the video of Kirk only shows the wound through his shirt. Stop trying to push conspiracy bullshit.

A lot actually, and no one is making any accurate assessments based on crappy video under a shirt.

If anyone thinks they can tell the caliber of a bullet from an entrance wound on a t-shirt, from crap video, they're full of shit. Don't even need to bother with the rest.

Confirmed him to what? There are no open seats.

 

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
