I applaud her integrity, I am sure her decision to support impeachment was not an easy one.

The cast of that show seem to have had more than its fair share of early deaths.

Mira Furlan age 65
Michael O'Hare age 60 (suicide)
Jerry Doyle age 60 ("Natural causes perhaps related to alcohol use")
Richard Biggs age 44 (aortic dissection)
Steven Furst (Flounder) age 63 (complications of diabetes)
Andreas Katsulas age 59 (lung cancer)
Jeff Conaway age 60 (pneumonia and sepsis, perhaps related to his drug use)

It seems that President Trump set the way on the very first day of his administration, With the claims about inauguration size and everything like that.

If, in a school, there is a student who you know has problems, or there is more of a tendency to be issues with that student, you devote more resources than you would normally to other students

Bullshit.

Have faith. Getting impeached for the second time is part of a much larger master plan. It's Q-dimensional chess.

Very cool. A lot of time and work to do the embroidery.

Seriously?

You guys hang on every word Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos say. Elon Musk makes the news for non-business related items all the time...

You forgot the Oracle of Omaha.

There is always Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo!, etc.
Multi site subscription services like Apple News also has some search capabilities.
The Chinese can also step in with Baidu, Qihoo, Sogou, etc.

They will also need to pay the royalties, presumably.

Yes, assuming the Austrian parliament goes through with the legislation, there will be search engines willing to try doing business following those new regulations, and we can observe how that works out for all parties involved (news gatherers, news distributors, the search engines, the consumers). Let them do that experiment down under, we observe and learn as we contemplate our own experiments.

OK, Frank Luntz is telling the world “look how incompetent I was at running focus groups, please click and talk about me on the Internet.”

That's BS. They interviewed the general responsible for the distribution plan, and vaccines have been distributed. Thus, there was and is a plan. The plan may need modification or updating or something - but there was a plan.

I wouldn't jump to too many conclusions about a quote lifted out of context like this. Who knows what the reporter and source were actually talking about when he said 'they had no plan'. Could have (rather plausibly) been about storing and distributing second doses. Could have been for last mile distribution. Could have been for tracking who or how many got second doses and when. Could have been anything.

Wasn’t it the CNN reporter who reported this and isn’t the thrust of this thread how CNN is “making” news to fit its agenda?

I wonder why it wasn't included in this list

A good commander does not give an order he knows will not be obeyed and willfully ignored.

Frederick or Bruce?

F'ing limey....

They're both limeys. The fact that the genius of Brucie is not recognized in this cultural wasteland is rather sad.

Wild Fork is now shipping nationwide.

@loki said in Inside baseball.:

Is this because so many employees have Covid? If so it should start getting better soon.

Don't have a clue.

But if you take this at face value, and you couple it with the fact that seeds are scarce again this year, as are canning supplies, it makes for some interesting thought exercises.

Hmmm, banning people for having an opposing viewpoint? Where do we see that before?

I think I mentioned this before, but I was at a speech he made.

One thing that I have always remembered as he talked about the moon mission.

Something like: "We are 90% confident that we would make it to the moon. But only about 60% confident that we would make it back"
