    I suspect we could keep some planes surveilling the area in play. An A10 should handle little boats nicely.

    OK - Set a new personal best on the levergym - 315x8. I'm feeling it the next day - progressive overload is good for us. Two caveats - a levergym isn't the same as free weights AND I'm not touching the chest for a 2 count - just moving it up and down at a reasonable pace. Good for me - but were I to post it on a lifting site, there would be 1200 comments that it's all for crap and I should only feel shame at my feebleness in not using free weights, not using Rogue plates, and/or that it's AI.

    I actually started the thread when it became clear that I was recovering. About a month after my nadir.

    It is their business school. You’d expect it to be more grounded than the humanities departments.

    I wonder how much of that is out of respect for Jim Clyburn.

    We'll see how things go in the future. Kyle Diamantas, the deputy commissioner for food, would take over leading the agency in an acting capacity. and Within hours of the announcement, anti-abortion groups were attacking Diamantas for work his law firm did representing Planned Parenthood regarding a dispute with one of its clinics that was slated to open in Florida’s Kissimmee Health Center medical complex. “We cannot allow someone who represented Planned Parenthood to oversee rules surrounding the deadly abortion pill mifepristone,” Lila Rose, an anti-abortion activist, posted on X. “Kyle Diamantas was a junior legal associate who was assigned to that case by his superiors. He expressed his objections to representing Planned Parenthood, based on his personal convictions, and ultimately removed himself from the case,” said White House spokesman Kush Desai.

    @NobodySock said: That’s what the world said after Hiroshima Nagasaki too keep living in your cocoon Andrea You're calling for a military overthrow of the United States government and I'm the one in a cocoon. Got it. Remember when they frog-marched Trump out of the White House in handcuffs over Russiagate? Good times that need to be repeated!

    Increase the debt for 6 months to get past the midterms. That's practically.. Democratic.
