Who are you talking to? The IDF? They're the ones reporting military deaths... and since they are a MILITARY organization that's all they are EXPECTED to do. Did you have a bone to pick with their methodology? Here's an idea: Call them up and tell them to change their methods. That should work wonders. As for me... why are you typing and telling ME to change the IDF's numbers? Because I'm not going to do it. I have a military background and I know EXACTLY what, and why, the IDF is reporting. If you don't understand this, and clearly you don't... then I can't help you.

Musk is going to bail out Trump? What a scumbag.

Hard pass.

That's not what I am saying... THIS is what I am saying (sorry Ratko, needed to change your %'s for accuracy):

If that happens... I wouldn't even count us out in the short term. Sometimes adding some "youthful vigor" actually sparks a team... PS: Also: I agree on Kane. I think there was one team that was making a hard push for him for a playoff run (just rumors a month ago or so...); but if he doesn't want to go he'll of course let Stevie know and then... he ain't getting moved. PPS: I'm wondering if Cossa gets 10 games this season.

Lara Trump is going to end up in prison if she doesn't turn her brain on. Where she can join the rest of the Trump Crime Family.

As long as it helps him pitch... Better. And... Also to stay healthier...!

PS: But also... If I'm right in the area... I'll know what the local, at-the-moment, weather is so I can determine whether or not it's worth it to run over to the ballpark. Oh... and take along my raincoat anyways... just in case! 😉

Dude... I lived in southeast Florida (Ft Lauderdale to West Palm Beach areas...) for 19 years. I could set my watch to the daily afternoon thunderstorms that rolled into the area.

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry says four patients died Friday morning due to a power outage that caused a cut in oxygen supply in the hospital, ...staff warned earlier on Friday that generators have stopped working...

Hammer blow. MAGA will still flagellate themselves over Trump... But anyone with an ounce of INTEGRITY needs to jump ship (looking at you right-leaning Indies, moderate Republicans, etc., etc....) Of course, Trump is even now putting in place his plan to suck the RNC dry of funds and deposit them into his own personal finances (or judgements against him...).

Gotcha. Don't have that. Wonder if that comes out in Blu Ray? I got Band of Brothers and Pacific in Blu ray sets as they are iconic enough and I love them enough to have them in my "library", ready to watch whenever I wish to do so. This sounds like exactly the kind of series I would want to add to that.

I think it'll be easier if I just live down there. If it's sunny... head over to the fields...

Just the 1st two. And speaking of WAY over the top... If you like that type of stuff... Deadpool 1 & 2 will knock you on your keister...

Where is that available? Not everyone has specific streaming that covers all these shows so I think that's why sometimes there can be a limited response to these shows. Depends on whether or not I have the "correct" service so to speak...

Ditto.

When I was looking from afar also... I think I liked the looks of some places not necessarily in Lakeland but in Lake Wales and Lake Ashton... next door neighbors. Still easy access to daily Lakeland Complex and Spring Training... also I-4 to run into Tampa occasionally, or over to Orlando & Universal Studios... Etc.

Whew! At least you didn't say Bud Light! 😉 I've tried lots of stouts IPA's over the years... probably nowhere near a serious guy which you appear to be... Beer snobs don't bother me at all. Probably even have a few good suggestions... But mostly, it's probably too deep end for me. I think after the ones I've tried (and I don't even remember any of the names... obviously not a huge thing for me) that I decided to go the simpler route with my tastes... I'm down with the 10%+ requirement... but I'd have to catch one that really caught my taste buds and then I would probably stick with it rather than try anything and everything...

De nada. They're just attacking the messenger to distract from the actual message. That Trump is a corrupt fascist and liar.

I need to set up a man-cave... But that also is a distant back-burner project...

I haven't had a Rum Runner in a long while... Had them all the time when I lived in Florida. (Got a Bachelor's at FAU in Boca Raton... lived in southeast Florida a total of 19 years before I had enough of the crappy weather and had to head back up north to New Jersey... which is not as nice as Michigan weather but it'll do...).

Your preference is...?

I actually don't like beer. I prefer liquor or wine. Actually, my favorite is Vintage or Late-Bottled Vintage Port. Dow's or similar. Or Stoley's Vodka. Or a shot of Fireball. Or a Russian Quaalude (Kahlua, Stoley's, Bailey's Irish Cream, and Frangelica). I have no clue what White Claw is... I had to look it up. So... not much for beer... And since Stout is a much stronger taste that covers up some of the beer taste I can actually enjoy a bit of Guinness. Certain IPA's too...

Lazy. Maybe they are all just lazy. But then again.. the media has NEVER been found to be lazy... amiright? Me? I prefer the.... Truth.

You are making one mistake here. I agree with the top part. But the IDF is a military organization. It is NOT their job to report on Gazan civilian deaths. Their ONLY objective is to complete their MILITARY objectives. They report military deaths/ casualties. Their own and the "enemies". That's it. That's where you are making a mistake. You are trying to conflate the IDF's military objective with an all-encompassing report. I look at the Gazan Health Ministry as reporting all Gazan deaths/ casualties. They actually do a good job of that. But the do not report military deaths under the orders of Hamas (the Health Ministry IS Hamas). Therefore, I go to the IDF numbers for military deaths. It really is NOT that hard to find these numbers. What hoops are you referring to? If this doesn't pop up as your number one choice you just give up? That's it? You don't make any more effort than that? You say you're interested in the truth. Really? You don't look for it very hard. Also... Are the IDF numbers perfect? No. They are estimates because in battlefield damage with all the destruction verification is difficult at best. And in deeper tunnels, even more difficult. But they do have modern tech, including infra-red tech, drones, etc., etc. So I know that the Health Ministry is reporting 28,500 Gazan deaths. Zero military. I know the IDF is reporting 11,000 Hamas fighter deaths. I'll even ignore the 3K assessment report on non-combatants tied to Hamas activities that are estimated to have also perished. 11,000 Hamas fighter deaths (more or less) out of Health Ministry reported deaths of 28,500 gives me a rough idea of a much more TRUTHFUL scenario that you are trying to pass off here. Which I would call a lack of effort. The IDF's approach is NOT more offensive. It is NOT their job to report Gazan civilian casualties.. they are NOT ignoring them... it is not their JOB to report on them. I just wanted to reiterate that. They are a MILITARY organization and are ONLY going to report military deaths or casualties: their own, and Hamas.
