  1. To finish the thought, it's hard to dismiss the notion that the Biden admin is deliberately acting to drag out this war and achieve the maximum possible bleed-out of the Putin Regime.
  2. Inge is still listed on the UM Baseball team coaching pages.
  3. The recent news was the Russians counter attacking and taking losses. TBF, I don't think many analysts thought the Ukrainians could dislodge the dug in Russians without effective air power and the long range weapons to destroy Russian rear guard supply lines. The miscalculation was how slow the US would be to supply either. US 'pacing' has added another year, or possible more, to the war - probably unnecessarily.
  4. True, though I think you'd have to put them in a second tier in terms of cultural presence - they had a loyal following but not a huge one. Granted that wasn't an explicit criteria in the question.
  5. of course part of the reason he wasn't a 20 minute player last season is because Cade was out. I could also believe they may be giving Hayes more time than he deserves explicitly because it's his last chance before they cut bait on him.
  6. We've had that same hope dashed recently in Daz Cameron.
  7. I doubt either Wingenter or Nevin are likely to make us regret letting them go.
  8. Sam Bankman FRIED 🔥
  9. pretty lifeless.
  10. what bands from the 60's did survive? The Stones and the Who? The Who had unique musicians and Townsend had more than average compositional talent. The Stones I never got in the 1st place.
  11. Probably doesn't stand a chance. Didn't claim guns or Jesus.
  12. I only watched a little around the Hockey game, but in that short time Ivey was late on close outs multiple times and had one player waltz right by him on the way to an uncontested dunk. Lack of 360 deg awareness. My impression is he can't see/doesn't pay enough attention, to what isn't in his line of sight.
  13. hard to say if it was more of a splat, or just a thud,
  14. Lots of puck movement at the blue line but the interior wings players standing still way too much on their power plays - ergo nobody coming open. Florida's speed has Wings players intimidated, they aren't even challenging to get to what should be 50/50 loose pucks.
  15. Wings lucky to still be even after one. They're being skated out of their own rink.
  16. Ha - forget Chavez/Maduro. The truth has always, and probably will always be that in once you find yourself in a war, the imperative is to save the lives of your own people. Despite the all the analysis since, the logic of 1945 for the US was correct, even if the total casualties including Japanese were higher (which is very debatable) the bombs saved *American* lives and that is the only calculus that can matter to the people making the decision. The same holds true for Israel. By the normal definition - the 'good guy' will try to minimize civilian casualties, but in the end not to the detriment of the strategic imperatives.
  17. And the Germans 'voted' for Hitler (though not an absolute majority IIRC), the Iranians voted in one fair election for the mullah's (once) and the American's voted for Trump. It's absolutely true societies suffer for making bad corporate decisions. That hard part is that that doesn't make the fate of individuals any less tragic. There is no way to square that circle.
  18. LOL- mine is still kicking at over 30. In most areas the #1 determinant of tank life is water quality, which varies all over the map in SE MI if you are not on the Det or other large city system. Ten years is probably about right for many, but if you are serviced by a municipally softened system you should get a lot more than that. That said, how long a heater is actually likely to last is not the same question as the economic break even point for servicing it! Comically enough, I experienced the other extreme of that decision process when the warranty holder decided to replace rather than repair my *2* year old dishwasher! I kept the dishwasher, the warranty money, and fixed it myself for <$100. 🤷‍♀️
  19. It's too easy to say 'A pox on both your houses' in this conflict as there are toxic ideologies on both sides. There are militant zionists with messianic visions of driving all the arabs out of 'greater Israel' and there radical jihadi funadmentalists that want every jew driven into the sea. The distinction, which unfortunately has been growing smaller in the Netanyahu era, is that the radicals are a faction in Israel, they are Hamas.
  20. Maybe not as rare as back in the day when they were all passive piloted natural draft type. For an induced draft unit the fan, air flow sensor, igniter and interlock circuit are common serviceable failure points that can be worth repairing if the tank still has service life remaining.
  21. LOL - just saw that. Heck he should have been happy after helping to dump McCarthy.
  22. Do we know if Harbaugh hired him in person? But either way, Harbaugh is of a certain type. The way he sees the world, to love football and the Michigan program *is* virtue, thus anyone who does (or appears to) must be virtuous. Probably makes for an easy con.
  23. Maybe he thinks Cade needs to man up and learn to beat those triple teams before he's willing to put someone out there with him that the other team will have to guard....
  24. This guy seem to have gotten off on playing a character he imagined as James Lombardi Bond. I heard the clip from the Western coach who was clear nobody issued him a pass. So how did he get down on the field? They do check in most stadiums.
  25. FWIW, the NY post has a story about him. It you believe the Post and/or what the parents told them, it sounds like this is a young man who is losing it. His parents said they've been worried that he was suicidal, personality had been changing - he had taken semesters off to deal with depression, etc.
