I worked at Honeybaked Ham for about 3 years in the 80s. Mostly a very easy, laid-back job. You can get a lot of studying done most of the year (or get really good at foil-ball floor broom hockey), but the holidays, oh my word. Hired a lot of extra help and it was like an assembly line, but you get rotated around to different duties. Cutting hams in half, glazing the hams with the torches, taking them from the torching rings to the wrappers, and then wrapping them in foil. Seems like that job would be easy? It was the worst. Speed was everything and the runner would put the ham on a flattened foil sheet and you need to wrap that puppy up in 10 - 15 seconds so nobody is standing there with a molten ham in their hands. First time I did that wrapping part, I did not wear gloves to get a better grip. Probably at least a dozen paper cuts, but made with foil on my hands. So painful. Then I am showing my co-workers how many cuts I had and a guy named Dan Zammet walked by with liquid cleanser and squirted a bunch in my hands. I liked Dan, he was funny, but I will never forgive him for that.

What looks true here is the illusion. The US aint the world anymore - we are making ourselves irrelevant. The world is moving on, even if we aren't. More than 50% of new cars sold in China are EVs, 98% in Norway. The EU and China together are much more of the real world than we are.

Speaking of denting Trump's base...

a lot of things have happened that we've speculated would dent Trump's base that haven't, but Iran is the one that's doing it. I don't know if it's actually the war or maybe just gasoline prices. Hard to believe there were a lot of voters that believed Trump would actually be a peace president, but as long as they figure it out and take it out on his party in Nov I'll take it.

Brad Stevens won executive of the year. Flagg won ROY.

And Ford would even have had an excuse to be a Squeaky wheel about it.

Somebody's delusional, or reading too much green BS.

Plumbing new depths...

This is about getting out of production quotas. At some point I suppose we may start seeing a race to the bottom by oil producers who see the end of an oil based economy staring them in the face and are deciding better to cash out now than try to keep the price high and see the market shrink even faster. I tend to think that when countries look out and see the US, the supposed guarantor of stability being the one screwing up the oil markets, it's sort of the last straw in the decision matrix to just get off oil as fast as possible. Nuclear is coming back, renewables are the vast majority of new utility capacity going in around the world, and the Chinese are ready and able to supply the world with cheap EVs. Now that said, a pipeline or three built to get around Hormuz and Trump off the stage, the pendulum may swing back, but for now, other than the US, the developed world is heading for the exits on oil & gas as fast as they can. And even here, Trump may keep the odd coal plant running here and there, but utilities are voting in the other direction with their investment dollars anyway.

Cade per/100 possessions is turning it over 19.9% of the time. Of the guys playing regular minutes, he isn't even the worst. Duren 24.1% Stewart 22.3% Huerter 22.2% LeVert 20%

such an awesome show. We started watching a few months ago. We haven't binged it. We save it for when we have nothing heavier or longer to watch. It always leaves you with an uplifting feeling when you finish watching.

Disney goes to court, the court quashes the order. It's more harassment.

They immediately hired the GM's son

Where is the Hinch to Philadelphia thread?

yeah - I think there is a way to turn off car play in my car but I would not be able to find it without hunting through a lot of menus. I just turn off BT on the phone if I want it disconnected because I can find that. I generally don't connect my phone to the car's wifi at all - it's a redundancy I haven't needed for anything yet.

More proof MAGA's a such snowflakes. Especially the Guy who recently stated "I am not a rapist" "I am not a pedophile" There were two attempts on Gerald Ford within 2 weeks. He didn't wine about needing a ballroom either.

Forget talking about boring stuff like destroying forest land and cutting benefits to children. THIS is the real stuff right here!

Outside of Cade and Ausar, everyone should be on the trading block this summer.

I recognize there’s value in admitting that some of the bad elements that exist mainly on the right also exist—usually to a far lesser degree—on the left as well. I just don’t like when a post leads with that assertion, because no one is reading past that part that says “Yes, there is political extremism and violence on the left.“ But then, the Bulwark is fundamentally right-wing anyway, so, no skin off their nose.

TBF, schools do make a huge effort in recent years to help athletes go to school if they want to, I'm sure that is as true at OSU as at UM. But while you can lead a horse to water....

Nice. I remember listening to other broadcasts during spring training and these know nothing commentators were saying that most likely he needed more “seasoning” at AAA. God there’s a lot of idiots out there as commentators.
