    @89th said in 80-1: @Mik said in 80-1: One thing that was really great - they had a drone up above the race so you could watch this horse come up through the pack in the last stretch. He was back at least 2/3 of the way and just turned it on. Very exciting race. Link to video Absolutely incredible That's remarkable footage!

    He's going to go to work tomorrow, and they're going out of town for a few days on Friday. We have to babysit the cat...

    That guy in the middle has the complete opposite of a Trump tie. Probably not a real Nazi.

    @Jolly It's a mess alright. I understand the Portuguese model for decriminalizing narcotics and treating drug use as a medical problem has been very successful in reducing crime and drug utilization (relying on probably 20 year old information). It seems that the thresholds for "small amounts" should be obviously personal use only, and still confiscatable with the user brought into a rehab process under due process, and any sales or exchange of any illegal drug should incur draconian penalties. But I don't know how the law is written or the social process is implemented.

    When these nukes start raining down, do we have a backup plan for tncr? The network will go away. How are we supposed to operate?

    I've liked them since the old days and saw them once on the Opry Stage. Marty Robbins also did a lot of western stuff. And the Sons of the Pioneers are still active. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sons_of_the_Pioneers The music is its own genre and should not be lost...

    Trump lost the house, senate, and presidency in a single term, the first president to do that since Herbert Hoover. Biden may well repeat the trick.
