@LuFins-Dad said in how about that S & P?: @George-K said in how about that S & P?: @LuFins-Dad said in how about that S & P?: Up ~ 20% over Biden’s Admin! Up about 5% over it's previous peak during the Biden administration - in December 2001. Now, let’s adjust for the aggregate inflation over the Biden Admin. According to these guys, using CPI data (which I think may undershoot actual inflation) it's about 18%. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/

So coming off the season we’ve had our star LG in an interview state the number one thing Pittsburgh needs to do to compete for a championship is start the right guy at QB from the beginning. Dionte Johnson #1A WR states that he’s been on the Mason plane from the beginning and was grateful Mason was the starter at the end of the year and he hopes he gets the job.. George Pickens #1B WR posts images of GOATS on Rudolph posts… Tomlin promptly announced that Kenny Pickett is QB1going forward. SMH.

Good piece though, kept my interest all the way through despite the fact that I’ve read so many opinion pieces on the topic in the last few months.

Just pay four musicians to play string quartets up there.

@Mik said in Instant Gratification: The transfer portal may collapse from overuse. I keep telling my buddies that. The portal, combined with NIL money, is making college sports just a minor league industry without any rigor. No loyalty, and you’d think this native Louisiana kid would have that!

Or, drop a digital into the case ...

Not as romantic as “Sleepless in Seattle.” “Panic in Chicago” can be title of a thriller/action movie.

I’d love a Lamborghini, but they don’t make one with a crane to haul me back out of it.

Maybe, maybe not. We don’t know, do we? No, we don’t.

Gotta be plenty of nuts in a city that large.

I mean, it looks like the FBI has asked the court to reconsider whether the physical laptop is a "record" that is subject to FOIA requests (you know, as compared to records such as emails and documents). I'd imagine if the court says yes, then the FBI will publish the laptop... however that will work. You know, if I died and the FBI looked into my death, and sure hope they wouldn't release my computer to the public just because someone asks for it.

@Mik said in Meanwhile, in Canada...: Interesting. Nunavut has surpassed Northwest Territory in mining production. They have gold and iron, while NWT has three diamond mines. NWT also has oil and gas and what would amount to a huge USEPA Superfund site on the shores of Great Slave Lake in Yellowknife, is essentially an arsenic mine that at one time contained some gold. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6591621

@89th said in Why the F-16 rules: Beautiful craft, too. I worked with a guy whose brother was an F16 driver. He said it was like sitting on the tip of an arrow.
