FDA proposes sweeping limits on nicotine in cigarettes

Quote:
The proposal will be open for public comment for 240 days, or about eight months.
Mid-September or early October.

Lions are bad.

>The proposal would cap the nicotine level at 0.7 milligrams per gram of tobacco.
>0.65 and 1 gram of tobacco in an average unlit cigarette, which includes somewhere between 7.5 and 13.4 milligrams of nicotine

lol.

Hell yea I’d take the 30 second fight. If I recall since it’s happened before, UFC refs don’t automatically disqualify you for running like a bitch. They have to warn you first, more than once. I should be able to run circles screaming and try to juke his attempts to cut me off for 30 seconds no prob

Not a fucking chance. I may have cardio, but I bet Ilia Topuria has better...

They may as well give him the 55k and save the crowd the 15-20secs (just like my sexy time...).

Jiu jitsu exists as a force equalizer. A 15 year old girl could submit the rock if she knows what she's doing (or at least put him to sleep).

Not necessarily. Joe Rogan addressed this when ego lifter douchebag Bradley Martin was acting like being 260lbs meant he could beat every boxer and BJJ person smaller than him

There was a proposed match between Bradley and Mighty Mouse (Demetrius Johnson) that I’m sure you heard about. It never happened but Joe Rogan had the right idea on how it would go

BJJ has a rule of no lifting a person and slamming them to the ground. This is also a huge force modifier when you have something like a 100lb weight difference like would exist in Bradley Vs DJ. Joe Rogan mentioned that if it was an “anything goes” sort of scenario that even as DJ was working on a submission, Bradley could lift his smaller body and “break him with the earth”. Possibly. It’s far from a guarantee but it is entirely possible

In a match with BJJ rules, however, Bradley would get destroyed and it wouldn’t even be close

Jujitsu is a joke lmao you can counter it by standing up or walking

Like with all other unarmed martial arts, it only works if your opponent is also using it and doesn’t know as much as you

Well true, but it's the least worst thing to learn, tradeoffs and all that. A gun or knife beats bjj too, but your odds still go up even in that scenario.

Oh yea for sure. Now more than ever I personally think anyone who is physically capable and willing to try to protect vulnerable people (like kids, women, elderly) in public should learn some basic BJJ

I just saw a recent video of some crazy homeless dude in NY who tried to abduct this 6yr old kid completely at random, and when his parents saw and said something he body slammed the kid he was carrying away to the ground

The dad and other people were able to catch up to the guy and pin him down for police to come. And that’s often what the scenario seems to be. Generally the people who are wigging out in public are often homeless, frail, not very healthy to where if you punch them too hard they might straight out die and then you’ll be defending yourself in court racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees over it

Whereas BJJ allows someone to “stop” a problem person usually without the person taking too much damage. And especially also to hold them in place until police get there. I’ve seen and I’m sure you’ve seen a few vids of a Good Samaritan who knows BJJ holding someone in a hold waiting for pd in just that scenario

The caveat is that a person can still die from a hold like a guillotine a la that Daniel Penny case. So one would have to understand not to cut off blood flow to the brain for too long when employing a hold
