"And each time they did make the
Superbowl, they kept just losing. And by worse and worse margins each
time--they made 4 consecutive Superbowls only to lose each time. Seems
the Bills are good at sabotaging themselves, nothing more."
They were good a team in a weak conference. And that....field goal miss in 1991, that was their one chance....they were doomed in the the other 3.

"21 Years."
Yep. Be nice to have the $2 Trillion back that was pissed away on the pointless Iraq adventure.
But I digress.
It is strange that this was 21 years ago. Doesn't seem like it. I still have a shirt or 3 in my closet from 2001. The way time passes faster and faster each year as you get older is awful. 70-80 years might be satisfying enough if we could feel the passage of those years as slowly as when we were 12.
Hulu did a really good multi-part documentary last year for the 20th anniversary. If anyone is interested in the subject i'd recommend it. Lots of footage and first hand accounts i'd never seen.
One thing I remember about the weeks afterwards was the anxiety of "what's next?" especially if you lived in a large city as I did at the time. After something that big, you just knew there had to be a part 2 coming. I had to fly that November AND take the train to the airport. It was the first time I felt unease doing either of those things. -

"No no no! The end will only come when the browns go to the super bowl!"
Very good point.
How about this: A Browns vs. Lions super bowl. The entire Universe is suddenly winked out of existence. -

Replacing God?
by punkofnice inwe seem to be if a more secular society here in the west, these days.
i'm speaking from the uk.. with the lack of belief in god/s, i'm wondering if all the seeming (note: i said seeming!
), deification of people like greta thunberg, george floyd and celebs amongst others, if people who have no real belief system, are filling the gap left by god with people?.

Only 17 games to go! Winning it, though? THAT may indeed signal the apocalypse. -

An Anti-Aging Pill ( Maybe)
by metatron invarious researchers a have been looking for an anti-aging pill based on the assumption that, if you can maintain a higher.
level of various endogenous anti-oxidants ( catalase, sod, etc), you could probably slow down the aging process.
even some skeptics.

Everyone is saying King Charles (if he keeps the name) has gone off the woke deep end.
Define the "woke deep end".
Also, you actually use the term "woke" in your sentences unironically? -

"It really wasn't free, it just wasn't paid by you at that moment."
Yeah, it was paid for through taxes. Seems more sensible for something like healthcare that all citizens will need at some point than the way it's done here in the states.
We pay for it as well through payroll deductions. The quality of the insurance varies by employer. Just pray you don't lose your job and then get sick in the interim between the next job or you're basically screwed. -

Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one
by Mikejw inhere in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

“AIDS US-Patent 5676977”
This patent number does exist, though it is not an effective cure for AIDS, or a patent on the virus (HIV) which causes AIDS. The patent is for “tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices” which the inventors wanted to develop as a cure for AIDS.
Filing a patent is not the same as creating an effective cure for something, as none of the same testing needs to take place to file a patent. The patent has now expired.
“H1N1 US-Patent 8835624”
US Patent number 8835624 is for something called an aptamer, which is a tiny strand of DNA or RNA which can bind to certain target molecules on the surface of a pathogen. This patent number applies to an aptamer that binds to H1N1 Influenza A, also known as swine flu. The scientists applying for the patent wanted to use the aptamer to detect the presence of the virus. The patent is not for the swine flu virus itself.
“Ebola US-Patent 20120251502”
US patent application publication number 2012/0251502 A1 is for a strain of human Ebola virus called EboBun and was applied for by the US Department of Health.
This does not mean the US government invented the virus. It applied for the patent for the new virus, not to make money from its use, but so it can allow companies to use the virus to create potential vaccines, and stop companies from restricting research around it.
According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the status of the patent application is “abandoned”.
“Swine Flu US-Patent CA2741523”
This number is a patent application number made by the US Centres of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the Ebola virus EboBun, not swine flu. This application was made to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. Again, the existence of this application does not mean the CDC invented the virus. The patent has not been granted.
“BSE US-Patent 0070031450 A1”
We couldn’t find a US patent or patent application with exactly this number. However, there is a now-abandoned patent, with an application number only one digit away from this. This wasn’t a patent for BSE (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease) itself, but for a type of animal vaccine that included a protein resistant to changes caused by BSE.
“ZIKA ATTC VR-84 (Rockefeller Foundation)”
This sequence of letters and numbers is not a patent or an application number—it’s just the name of a particular strain of the Zika virus. ATCC stands for the American Type Culture Collection, which is an organisation that amongst other things, collects samples of different pathogens. VR-84 is the name of the Zika strain that was first isolated by scientists.
The Rockefeller Foundation did not patent the virus. The virus was originally deposited into the ATCC by Dr Jordi Casals of the Rockefeller Foundation Virus Laboratory in 1953. The original source was isolated from the blood of a rhesus monkey in 1947. According to the Rockefeller Foundation, other viruses were also identified at that laboratory, located in Uganda.
“SARS US-Patent 7897744 & 8506968”
The first number is a US patent for the genomic sequences for the SARS virus, applied for by the Canadian Public Health Agency.
This particular patent application was made in 2004, after the first SARS outbreak in 2002. This does not mean the Canadian Public Health Agency invented the SARS virus. The CDC also applied for a patent on SARS, to keep information on it in the public domain. There was some concern at the time that if private companies had patents to the genetic data of the virus, it might hinder efforts to create vaccines or cures.
The second number is a now expired patent for “SARS vaccine compositions and methods of making and using them”.
“CORONAVIRUS US-Patent 10130701”
A patent application from 2015 does exist for one type of coronavirus, but not the same one as the new one identified in Wuhan, which has now been named Covid-19.
Coronavirus is a broad category of viruses that includes the common cold, SARS, and Covid-19.
The patent number mentioned here refers to a “live attenuated” version of the avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Live attenuated IBV is essentially a weakened version of the virus, patented with the aim of eventually developing it into a vaccine against the disease for birds and other animals. IBV is in the same family as the new Wuhan coronavirus (which is now known as Covid-19).
