Would we ever use the argument that we shouldn't make insulin low cost because 10 years ago it wasn't low cost and those people who paid a lot for insuiln get "scammed"?

Tonight, I’m having a throwback to my growing up Friday night supper was when I was a kid. They were of course, meatless suppers, back in the day. So the sauce my mom would make is a marinara sauce with fresh zucchini in it. That over a bowl of linguine or penne With a little grated cheese on top, was heaven. Just because I like spicy, I add some red pepper flakes, fresh basil to. I also had so many fresh little cherry tomatoes, that I added about 2 cups of that also. Very simple supper but the best. EVOO, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, basil.

I’m starting to dislike “allowing” the fans to choose names. They tend to choose the stupidest names. This is coming from someone whose dog is named Rumor

I imagine some bought and paid by big Pharma would say so

You have to activate 60 day guys in the offseasom.

Players are removed from the 60 day IL at some point after the season can't be put back on until sometime around spring training - in other words, they will count against the 40 man for the Rule 5 status. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/why-isnt-the-60-day-dl-year-round/

I saw some tweet from some wag in the UK military ecosystem saying that the only way out of the war was for Zelensky to negotiate. I would immediately subject any person with status who says such nonsense to a financial disclosure and records review: that cat is on the take!

The Tigers need a second Willi Castro like I need to watch the first Willi Castro play

Extend that range back to July 5 and get back to me.

I think the catcher deserves as much credit in these situations. You have a 200 lb guy barreling in on you, and you have to make the catch and apply a perfect tag, all within a split second. Great execution all around.

Awesome throws from OF excite me.

he lists so many folks as "nhl average" that it makes me wonder which nhl games he's been watching. maybe its because ive been watching too many red wings games?

I think most considered Chet to be an injury risk. I also think most of us expected him to at least make it past Labor Day before getting hurt

The funny thing is all the small donors donate only to Trump who doesn't use those funds to help any candidates and the RNC is footing all of Trump's legal bills.

Just announced that Chet to indeed miss the entire season due to a lisfranc injury in his foot. That injury is no joke so even though he may have been able to return sooner if they really pushed him I don't blame them for taking it slow and being overcautious. Plus it gives them a better chance of finishing last and draft in the top 3 again like I'm sure they were hoping for anyway

Baez will be an overpaid 2B, who hopefully can rebound and get closer to his typical numbers. Having Correa playing next to him in the field and lineup might get him going.

I was going to say that. I don’t have any. But my friends who do…. Coke is less addictive and cheaper.

I looked over the rest of the offense since the ASB and it's all abysmal. When the best you can say is that the Castros and Reyes are between 85-97 OPS+ since the ASB (Willi has been at 118 in the last 30 days). Kerry Carpenter had a nice week. Baddoo has had a 377 On-base Pct over the last 30 days and a 104 OPS+. That's all of the good news. Everybody else is below 80 OPS+ since the ASB, including Greene and Haase. WTF. The entire offense is stabilizing in worst-in-history territory. Never in my wildest nightmares did I think this outcome with the offense would happen this year.

Ever notice that there is a little type of bloop sound? That's triggered when someone actually answers. I answer because I am wondering if someone with an American accent will ever take the call. Never happens. Sometimes I like to fuck with them a little. They'll give you a little schpeel about my car warrantee about to expire and then they'll ask about the model of the car and I will say "well, you should know that, you called me, you said it was about to expire". Sometimes I will answer in a strange accent myself and there are other times I will say "you're calling a prison........we can set up a room for you if you'd like".

What is the correct length for a boat? 3 feet longer than the one that you already have. If you are an avid cyclist, what is the correct number of bicycles to own? The answer is n+ 1, where n= the number that you currently own.

You know what they say about RV and boat ownership. The two best days......

From my observations: It appears less to me a western/ NATO/ US "strategy" along these lines... and more a specific Ukrainian policy to not incur drastic casualties in this offensive. I don't disagree that Ukraine would need more offensive equipment to ensure a successful offensive... but I think it also requires additional manpower/ and additional casualties to conduct such an operation. I saw an interesting hypothesis: That with a Ukrainian insurgency behind the lines, and the HIMARS at the front lines (and out of Russia's range as long as they can avoid Russian air power; which is retreating back into Russia anyways after successful attacks in Crimea against them...); that Ukraine can absolutely bleed Russia nearly to death and, instead of engaging in all all-out assault to take Kherson, for example (weakening troop strength holding the line in Donetsk Oblast), instead... they can have smaller, more mobile units hit and strike Russian forces in multiple attacks. Without an all out assault, and without intense casualties that that would entail. PS: And not strengthening one area at the expense of weakening several others... (that's the problem of protecting or taking back Ukrainian territory... wide dispersal of troops across multiple fronts...). I'm not certain they are banking on it but: Putin is banking that he can short-shift gas to Germany/ Europe to the point they become desperate this winter and "force" Ukraine to capitulate to Putin's terms. That's what Russia is banking on... Ukraine? I don't know... Is Zelensky serious he thinks he can retake Crimea or is he just trying to get Putin to taste the battery acid that's in his mouth? Ukraine is going to have to take something... this stalemate will allow Putin to put the pressure on Europe, without any reward of Ukraine taking back any land. That's not winning formula. I know they want to avoid casualties... but without any retaking of Ukrainian territory... the rest of the world, aside from the US, will get discouraged, at the very least. I've been pressing for Ukraine to take back Kherson for... 2 months now? C'mon Zelensky... gotta figure this out and not just talk about it!!! (I think he's been talking in order to convince Russia to pull troops out of Donetsk and put them in Kherson... Check. And then they took out the bridges to trap those troops on the wrong side of the Dnieper... Check. And their secret ops took out multiple Crimean targets to get Russia to pull back their supply/ defensive forces out of Crimea that would support a Kherson defense against a Ukrainian attack to recover Kherson... Check. But... NOW's the time guys!!!)

Like Norm Macdonald once said: "You know, the more I learn about this Hitler fella...the less I care for him."

I’d rather they get it than some hedge fun manager or health insurance CEO.

I may also be overhyping myself on Anton Johansson too: nice little forward pass in the neutral zone to spring them nicStrong play + pass to set up another goal, 1+2 in this game. He looks like he has pretty solid awareness and physical abilities, get Kronwall on the ice with him asap!

Ford get $100 million in tax incentive and proceeds to layoff hundreds of people. Not much is said. Cancel $10k of student debt on lower middle class people and Republicans have a meltdown.
