Folks, The U.S. is a Republic. As such, Ms. Cheney is the elected Congressman from Wyoming. In fact, the only one. As their representative, she needs to listen to her constituent's wishes and needs. But being a Republic, she can vote as she wishes. And the voters of Wyoming can throw the bum out, if they wish. It is becoming increasingly apparent that is the wish of the good people of Wyoming. May she get her ass stomped in a humiliating defeat, so that she may enjoy the air of Northern Virginia, which is where she lives, anyway.

The runners practice constantly to improve their reaction speed. Maybe he is just that good. I would be curious to the science behind this rule. No problem with the rule, but let's see the data that no one can react faster than 0.1 seconds.

@Catseye3 I think @Aqua-Letifer and Mike Manson are the same person. LOL

He was pretty accurate with his brick throws to the glass. He should be pretty easy to identify. But, crooks think they are the smartest person in the room, but they are usually the dumbest.

@George-K I guess he got a bit "lucky". LOL The thought of spending time is prison is enough to stop me from doing any crimes. LOL

I am reminded of Asimov's Foundation series.

@taiwan_girl watch a lawyer talk about the interview: Link to video

@Axtremus said in The Grocery Inflation Thread: Vox article on Costco’s $4.99 rotisserie chicken https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23207301/costco-rotisserie-chicken-poultry-farming-inflation Speaks of Costco setting up its own supply (vertical integration) for this “loss leader” product that has been selling for $4.99 each for the last 11+ years, the “big chicken” industry trend, and associated environmental and societal impacts. Costco did the same thing with its hot dogs - moving them to vertical integration. For all the talk people make about buyings sustainably, buying from the US, etc. buying habits of people are mainly driven by their wallet.

Defund them. Now. I do not want my tax dollars in any way supporting NPR. Let them rise or fall in the private sector.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.

Friends of all kinds.

Craig Ferguson was interviewing a young acrtress when he admired her by saying, "you have such thin fingers" and followed up with, "I wish you were my doctor."

@Aqua-Letifer said in The worst record on albums: @Jolly said in The worst record on albums: I literally wore one out. I've listened to "Innervisions" about a dozen times now. I haven't put it back in the rack for weeks. But sadly, I don't have any Ray Charles yet. Many rank that record as one of the best of all time, any genre. People bought it that didn't even own record players. It spent 16 weeks at the top of the Pop charts and won the Grammy for album of the year in 1963. It's country/soul/jazz and purely American.

@Aqua-Letifer said in I'm gonna ream a gas passer's ass.: @Jolly said in I'm gonna ream a gas passer's ass.: Nope. Somebody is going to have a come to Jesus moment. I'd pay good money to be in the room for that shit. Glad she's okay, though, all things considering. +1 indeed!

For me it was Louisville.

Jim Thorpe broke the rule. Pete Rose broke the rule. They both knew the rules. Enforce them. What is the point of pretending now, years after the fact? The history is written and fairly recorded, let it be.

@Mik said in Bent Wood: @Jolly said in Bent Wood: @Mik said in Bent Wood: Looks like a scale of some sort. And...If you were raised in the South... Weighs cotton. Correct. I'm missing one of the peas to my great-grandpa's cotton scales (he was a VERY SMALL scale cotton farmer). We used it when slaughtering hogs and cattle.
