Hence the Polish military spending.

Colleges are mostly left wing and bloated. Too many mickey mouse degrees. Too costly. Too many federal mandates. If we can, I'd like to see a school that's... A. Affordable. Exempting lab fees and the cost of living on campus, college should cost no more than $4000/semester. B. Student friendly. Courses should be arranged so that a student can take a 16-hour load with a mix of online and in-person classes, that allows the student to hold a 24 hr/week job and still make grades. C. ALL courses 200 level and below should be fully transferable to any public school in the nation. D. Young men and women in the service should receive college or votech school credit for service schools and training. E. Young men and women in the service should have access to 12 hours of free college courses per year in the service, starting 10 weeks after boot camp. After serving their enlistment, they should receive two semesters of free college for every year served. F. Less specialization in undergrad degrees. You learn a lot of your job at your first job. G. And... Businesses depend too much on college to prepare students for business. I'd like to see business step up and involve more students in internships that generate college credits towards undergrad college degrees.

@Horace said in SNL open.: I'm glad they've matured enough to make fun of both sides now. They haven't, they're just—in an incredible act of doing their job—reading the room instead of doing the good work of telling the audience how to feel.

Better to be 3-1 than 1-3.

well, it's a little different because lithium + water = boom, but in other respects they're safer than gas. Bit of a wash.

Florida is our nation's fun state.

@Copper said in The SpaceX Polaris Mission: There are still way too few stars in these shots. Got it in one - another faked space adventure.

There does seem to be an overabundance of calls that dictate the end result these days. It leads one to question the influence of sports book.

I bet Kamala wouldn't say out loud that she likes capitalism.

It is difficult to overestimate how dumb the masses are, when it comes to how they formulate their political opinions. Narratives that bind tribes together are almost everything.

@Jolly said in The Horseman: Well, he was a poet... Yeah, I figured it was appropriate.

A lot of LDS folks in LV.

I don't know. The assistant had an angle to look into the box while the peanut was alone on the sheet at 3:45. Then, it doesn't seem simple to retrieve the peanut after jumping onto the sheet? That part was unexplained. I wouldn't be too surprised if the explanation was just another deception.

Then I'm an honorary Italian. And French too. Maybe a little Thai.
