  1. Gun confiscation will never work and would not be a popular solution. The closest would be a ban on manufacturing, sales, and buy backs.
  2. Yes. And his stuff was generally mild. I try to give some people the benefit of the doubt on here in terms of their situation. He could have been 75 years old and a widow and this gave him an outlet. We had an uncle that lived in CA. I only met him a few times. It was my wife's uncle, her dad's oldest sister's husband. He never came around much and since they lived out there that was even less opportunity to do so. But still, when she would come back he never would. He did come to a reunion and we bonded immediately. He reminded me of my dad. We went out there one year and we spent a lot of time together. His daughter's teased me, calling me their brother. He was a retired truck driver who moved out there in 1955 and would point out "this is the working man's neighborhood". (Average house price now is close to $1M) and he volunteered at an exotic animal rescue and was learning to use "the computer" He spammed me nearly every day to an old email account I used. When he passed away a few days later I went into that account and saw all of them, including one about a week before he died wishing me a happy birthday. That hurt a little. It was just a dormant account I only used for ticket sales. But he was on facebook so we kept in touch that way.
  3. And he’s such a perfectionist they did 6 takes.
  4. weird that the Trump DOJ and GOP Congress didn't do anything
  5. FWIW, my black friends and colleagues say Black. My problem with African American is not every black person is American.
  6. He's probably only half listening and thinking about what he's going to say next.
  7. Interesting.... I wonder if that's something Carplay has to handle or the MLB app? The reason I ask is sometimes the interface is different between the app on my phone and what's on the screen.
  8. Wasn't there a school of thought that performance against pythag is a function of your bullpen?
  9. Yes. I heard someone on Fox say something to that effect. 7 must be the magic number of acceptable damage in order to protect our idol the 2A.
  10. Yeah I don’t see it happening unless it’s word you use regularly.
  11. My sister in law and her husband live a few miles from there. They are ok and nobody they knew was there for all they know.

    MAP PR0N!

    A little surprised Oakland isn’t Jewish. I bet it’s close.
  13. What I don’t like about his calls is they sound targeted towards the other team.

    Yeah. I meant Mississippi. Not Minnesota. A lot of people down there have friends of family working in those plants without a union for good money relative to the cost of living and they see people going on strike up north….
  15. Really not a fan of Shep’s calls to close the game. They sound too Hawk Harrelson-ish. Which can work if you are an old man and it’s charming.

    Nissan has plants in TN and MN and Honda in Alabama. And speaking anecdotally from talking with my family down there… there’s a bit of resentment to the UAW down in that region. They see them as lazy and entitled and don’t like that they retire down there. Just what I have heard.

    Wow.... I heard that phrase on talk radio some time in the 90's I believe.
  18. nice upstanding Christian she is
  19. Yes. Goose Loonies.
  20. terrible
  21. Over use of certain words like: Actual or actually Rather
  22. I've been told for 2 years now we're going to have a recession.
  23. I would guess they are coaches?
  24. I have that on my list for sure....
