  1. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65602182 some new 3D pics of the Titanic.
  2. like accuracy matters when firing off dozens of rounds into a crowd. Jesus the stupidity....
  3. Ignorant. You are not pro life. You have no idea on medical issues and the body.
  4. Makes you wonder how well Ron would have done against a quality candidate in 2022. He barely beat Gilliam in 2018.
  5. I can see that. The hardcore protestants think dancing is a sin (Footloose is real, people) so I also wondered if it was meant to convey a "safe" style of dancing, that wasn't devilish. The old joke, why don't baptists have sex standing up? Could lead to dancing
  6. So the record extrapolates to a 77-85 season. Not bad, oddly enough same record as 2021, I don't remember that team being so good. Would you take it?
  7. She found a sugar daddy.
  8. I've noticed I wear deodorant less and less these days. i work from home. It's not an automatic thing but I often work out during the early evening so I won't put any on if I know I'm doing that, except a group class. Then when I get home and shower before bed I obviously don't wear any. Weekends I do of course. If I go into the office I will too.
  9. Chris has soul.... I always got Peter Wolf vibes from him. That video is relatively recent so I never shared it. It has their new drummer, bassist, and keyboard players. I wish I liked Aerosmith so that I could justify seeing the Black Crowes when they come here. Chris played at the Crofoot a few years ago and I couldn't go, was very bummed. To see him in such an intimate setting would have been great.
  10. Did Durham outline his prosecutions and make recs on who else should be charged? I assume that’s what took so long.
  11. They live in Canada. You wouldn’t know them.
  12. And how would Anderson covered another network doing that?
  13. Too bad the writers strike has shut down late night shows. I’d be interested in Colberts take on CNN give Licht’s history with his own show.
  14. Yeah at the game. When they display the lineup they were showing OPS.
  15. Too bad she isn’t in Florida or Texas. Those governors are very sympathetic to murderers.
  16. This is my fourth game and my last game, Scherzer, I was in a suite and couldn’t see the board. Before that, against the Giants, I had my wife with me and she was commenting about the “batting averages not being too good”. But last night was the first time I noticed during every inning. I am thinking it is to help “liven” things up.
  17. On the scoreboard when they list the batting lineup they used to display batting average. Tonight they showed OPS. Mostly 5-700’s. One notable exception was a .450.
  18. Some would argue Jon isn’t either
  19. I was thinking of that too. Probably where I got it from. That episode ranks low among the best episodes but I really like it for some of the humor. When they're trying to blackmail the native americans into pointing out that their top spokesman is not native american..."They already know..... it's like finding out James Caan is not really Italian". Then Silvio and Tony kind of look at each other like they didn't know. "Gary Cooper's gay?"
  20. These issues are so ripe for rumor and speculation and the "employer" really can't say anything. I've dealt with it as a manager and it's frustrating when people insist on knowing more than I could legally divulge. It's private. There's rules. Remember that time when Magglio was going thru stuff and it turns out his wife had a cancer scare?
  21. to be fair, reading is MAGS's strong point.
  22. Black Crowes count? I don't mean the rock radio staples but you could find some hidden gems with more of an indie sound.
  23. If the team is doing well at the deadline then you just make a choice between a trade making your org better going forward or ride him out to do as well as this year. I don't think it's a hard choice. Don't make a trade just to make a trade. Both scenarios are a positive in my book. This is different from 2017 with the JD trade because that team had given up and winning more games at that point wouldn't do much in terms of goodwill because the org signaled that things would be rough for awhile. But now the expectations are different and winning more games will matter going forward, even if a big contributor to that win total will be leaving for FA. Let him be someone else's problem in 3 years.
