I have nothing to back it up but I bet hus casino bankruptcies were either intentional or due to cheating.

The Nick Offerman episode is one of the greatest TV episodes ever.

But socialism....

Boxing decided to go hard niche and stay with the PPV format. They have a very strong core following though. I stayed with it until the early 2000's when it was on HBO every Friday. Then kids....

I assume their only consideration at this point is whether they have someone better vs can we extract anything more of value from someone who's getting paid by us one way or another. Personal feelings about saving face don't enter into the calculations. Make a decision when you have to.

I'm worried about that with The Last of Us. And being a Star Wars and Marvel fan with all the TV shows it's hard to keep up.

Man that was the golden age with those 4 guys. My best friend is a boxing nut so I rely on him to tell me when to watch.

I looked at pictures of her and I don't see it. I watched The West Wing in real time and probably 3-4 times since then.... and to this day I never could figure out which character his daughter played. I mean... I know her name and all of that but when I'd see her on the screen I wouldn't pick up that it was her. The first thing my wife ever said to me was "Do you know who you look like...?" When I was younger with more hair I would be told constantly I looked like Charlie Sheen. Last few years it's migrated to Matthew Perry.

I much prefer the "one episode a week" cadence. It makes for better viewing and you can absorb things better without moving on to the next one. And I like the anticipation. We've had company since Thursday so haven't had a chance to watch TV yet. Have to catch up on Last of Us and Black Mirror.

Ok, it's "regulated" but still meaningless, as is non GMO.

And… dumber.

You aren’t wrong. And thinking about it during scouting there really was no reason to be alone with a kid or group of kids. Even at a camp it’s just an issue of safety if you go on a hike or swimming or whatever. Between leaders and parents the ratio was probably 3:1.

I believe every word of it.

There is absolutely no regulation or standard regarding using the word "organic". It's a meaningless word.

The way it was implemented wasn't to tell the kids it had to be that way but for the adults to pay attention. So I wouldn't tell a kid to leave or whatever, but rather "Hey, follow me, let's go over there to where Dave is." I'm not even sure they knew it was a rule.

I struggle with that a little. I have 1-3 a day. But I have started back to drinking lighter beers when I do that. If I have something 6% or higher then it's just one. I like the flavor. I get N/A beer now so that if I want one while cooking dinner, or want another one later in the night. Hockey playoffs are coming up and I love those west coast games.

Did she give up anything? I couldn't care less about the politics of it or how it hurts her and if she is thinking about that then she's not doing her job. She's governing Michigan, not running for President. What harm was caused? Maybe she didn't get anything but did she give up anything?

Our pack was chartered through a Catholic Church so you had that double whammy.... anybody in the church who was in "charge" of kids, be it through coaching as a sports team, or whtever, had to do training called "Protecting God's Children". And with Scouts we had our own training. Frankly some of it is good advice. One big one was the buddy rule. THe kids should not ever be alone. Find a buddy. And for adults we were never to be around kids unless another adult was around.

And I don't see where she "groveled". She's a governor of a state impacted by tariffs and he's the president. She shouldn't ignore him. Senators have different jobs. They don't govern states.

I will play "boomer" and say we all did a double take when we saw there was a "video game" badge. "What kind of fun is it when we can't swim naked anymore because of the girls around?"

Blue Origin launched an "all female crew" including some celebritiess and I'm seeing all kinds of emotional reactions and talk of "trailblazing". Sorry... I'm going to nerd out and say this is not something special. These are not astronauts. This is not a "crew". They are passengers going up for a flight that is less than what Alan Shepard did in 1961. He was up for 15 minutes they are up for 11. They are going up 2 miles short of the Karman line (62 miles) which is considered "space". So yeah... it's cool what they are doing but let's not overstate this as something more than it is. It's rich and connected woman paying for a PR stunt. If I had the money i'd do it in a heartbeat. It's a combo bungee jump/zipline experience.

My son was in scouting from 2007-2013. Cubs through a few years of Boy Scouts. Their changes are the natural result of who is participating at the kid and leader level. I'd say 1/3 of the leaders were women. Our particular troop had a large presence of the female "Sea Scouts". Councils were running low on money and merging so if you want the org to survive there has to be consolidation of operations and if that means combining the boys and girls so be it.

Our various fitness coaches and instructors like to say "You can't outrun a bad diet". "It's about what you put in your mouth". And they are not trying to get into fat shaming or focus on our appearances.... it's more about "if you are here to get skinnier, that's something I can't do that for you." Their job isn't to make us lose weight. It's to get us to move around and lift. Anything beyond that is up to us.
