1984Echoes

Small sample size. We don't know yet who is going to thrive versus get reduced roles (middle relievers or bench) versus sink back into AAAA where they belong. It's going to take a few years to hash that all out between the guys who have already made it up, even if it was in an emergency situation, and the guys that are still making their way up the ladder.

Are we being hush-hush about the F-16's?

Damn...! Making a move on Crimea!!! BOLD!!!

They need to arrest quite a few GOP House members. For sedition. Seditious conspiracy. And for their already-committed or soon to be-attempted coverups of past and current criminal behavior...

Boot-Licking Fascists. One and all.

"Sheepish Liars".

Detroit Tigers 2016 Farm System... NOT comparable in terms of either depth or quality to the... Detroit Tigers 2022 Farm System.

Another Christian Terrorist Assassination Death Squad is now on the loose in Albuquerque...

Fetterman should run an ad with the simple message of "Can you tell which photo is the real one?" Any protestations... "It's just a joke dude..." And the effectiveness of that joke...? Oz is a laughing stock (if he isn't already) and gets laughed right out of the election by a landslide of votes...

I'm picturing that as an FBI agent with his gun unholstered (but not pointing at anyone) barking out "Make the Fucking Call!"... As the Sheep Not Lions employee goes down the list of MAGA Sheep that he or she is required to call to inform them that their Made in the USA product was actually Made in CHEYE-NA... muttering: "But it was just a little label thing...".

WAHOOOO!!! Gotta go get those tickets as soon as I can... maybe this weekend will be some good timing for me...

PS: I haven't seen it yet... gotta go see it...

I like the Deadpool funny in which the sarcasm and sight gags and every other gag is way off the frickin' charts and just leaves my sides aching.... Pitt can also be that way (to a much lesser degree) so I was expecting a minor stream of hilarious coming out of Pitt's mouth after seeing the trailer...

The simple explanation is that they just cannot let go of Grossman. Because of Hinch, or for whatever other reason they have...

Putin's Orwellian Universe.

Yeah, I like this one! BIGLY.

Freaking Awesome!!!

Not bizarre AT ALL. Putin is trying to shut the outside world off from Russia. He has to control the message. Which means... he ABSOLUTELY has to shut down VPN's. Not certain why that dude thinks it's bizarre, it's absolutely expected...

Why would anyone be concerned about EROEI at this point when the very first task to complete is the efficacy of asteroid capture. EROEI comes later. Similar to landing a man on the moon. They weren't concerned about any return on investment, simply accomplishing the task. Same thing with the tipping rewards NASA keeps giving to private space companies... there's no ROI on that. It is simply to advance/ develop the technology.... that may become the leading companies/ technologies of tomorrow. So I get it, you're not interested in the "tomorrow" potential solutions (disregarding EROEI just for the moment); you're looking for the real time, today solutions, in order to solve immediate needs... And in that world EROEI is the only (well, not the only...) thing that matters. How about we all get back to that discussion as I apparently threw a wrench into the gears with my "asteroid capture" (and hey G2... are you trying to do the same thing with your Ocean stats on lithium...?!?! HAH!!!)

Hell yes! I would LMAO !!!!

They'll all be Republican vaccine refuseniks.

I don't do assignments for fucking deuchebags. Oh, you wanted to talk about the immediate resolutions to the lithium problems? Not interested in today's AND tomorrow's resolutions? You could have said that. But this is about the 4th time you've followed one of my comments by being an asshole. GFY. I already gave you several immediate resolutions which you decided to ignore; and instead decided to deuchebag it. How close are you to your deathbed screw? I need to set my watch.

Is that the one with Pitt...? It looked good IIRC from the trailers.

It's something to think about. But... I don't think this team is done rebuilding yet. So to me, it doesn't make sense to trade two assets for one. I know Soto has proven more... But we need quantity AND quality. And the problem here is that both Greene & Tork may become as productive as Soto. That's a huge bet... and I understand if you and Lee are opining that you'd rather have the known quantity (Soto) rather than two unknowns that MAY be as good as the known one. If you asked me that in 3 years... and our team was nearly built, and we needed just that one monster bat to put us at or over the top... then yes, I would be perfectly willing to trade Jung & Jobe and the multiple other prospects it would take to get him. Plus Lee's caveat that you know you could sign him... because I am loathe to give up a boatload of high end prospects for a rental. I also want the known (commitment/ control) quantity. But today... I'm just not yet ready to make that move...
