  1. Explain to me how if you think someone is going to run you over with a vehicle, that shooting them is the solution?  How does that prevent it from not happening if there’s no chance to get out of the way or try something else?   If you have time to shoot and there’s room for the car to not hit you if the person dies suddenly then there’s time for another option.  Simply put, if it were true then it would have happened. It didn’t.  Fatal force is not the solution when someone is “getting away”   

  2. To be a republican and to support their politicians is to be immoral. There's no turning back now.  They are a depraved people and they cannot be defended.

    Hopefully one day these traitorous leaders in the GOP meet a proper fate

    Show me where i n the DNC Rules or the RNC rules for that matter that there needs to be a nominating convention

     

    The parties decide their nominee.  There's no moral or ethical or legal requirement for a certain process to be followed other than each party's rules.  People just wanted an excuse to create some kind of "scandal" to give themselves cover to not support her.

    I wonder how much money Kate Bush has made?  The use of that one song has probably made her millions in new money.  

    ChatGPT says industry estimates said she made over $2M in 2022.    She owns the rights.

    I've heard Billy Squier makes a lot of money b/c his songs were sampled in hip hop.

    What else were they going to do though?  They had injuries and then Harris traded two of their best remaining pitchers at the deadline (and I don't blame Harris for that).  They had no choice but to go to bullpen games.  The genius was not in the plan but how it was executed.  I have to give most of the credit to day to day management and to the pitchers.  

    I assume the plan was executed based on data and processes that the FO is responsible for, along with the coaches. It wasn't just random selection of pitchers.

     

  6. My wife was bawling.  I loved the simplicity of the ending.  It's a kids coming of age movie.... them playing their presumably final D&D game then watching the younger kids play.  The obvious callback is to Stand by Me's final line "I never had the kind of friends I had when I was 13. Jesus, does anyone"

    If Prince is still alive, do they get the rights to Purple Rain?

    and I'm jamming to The Trooper right now.  It's been a few years, since their concert here, that I went on a Maiden kick, but you are damn right that in 1989 I was listening.  Every night with my big ass wired headphones plugged into my cabinet stereo system, with turntable. ( that I foolishly gave away in 1997)

    probably because too many Americans have bought more house than they could afford and  commute an hour to work in a vehicle that can pull 6 snowmobiles but gets 12mph.

    and those same people will spend $1 in gas money driving or idling while waiting in line, to save 4 cents a gallon.

  8. Jesus... Pat's been around forever.  Seems like when I was a kid he was on the roundtable on Channel 4 when they had the games... wishing him a lot of comfort.  

    Sometime in the mid 90's after the Pistons missed the playoffs 2 years in a row he said they are renaming the road at the Palace to "2 lottery drive". That stuck with me as being pretty funny.
