They did what your are supposed to do when you encounter the police. They were respectful.

More meaningless virtue signaling.

The policy is the policy. Marijuana is a recovery drug for athletes. It's use is highly prevalent in the NFL, where guys have a good bit of muscle pain from a combination of high physical exertion and trauma. The rule for swimming caps is to keep athletes from pursuing equipment advantage. If they don't like the rule, clip their hair very close to the scalp and quit using oily products. If we start down the road of individual cap/hair approval, we'll have a train wreck.

It was. Actually a grammar problem. I fixed it.

@george-k said in $taffing: @axtremus said in $taffing: Because the $10M more brings good returns to the tax payers, because the $10M more avoids costly mistakes that then spare the tax payers from having to foot the bill for the consequences later. Take the bungled COVID-19 response in first half of 2020, for example, a more competent set of White House staff could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. (Cheap) Scotch everywhere. You owe me a keyboard. My favorite part was the total lack of anything in even the same hemisphere of supporting evidence.

I'm not a follower of golf, but this match caught my eye because two bigdeal QBs are facing off. What little scuttlebutt I've redd is predicting Rodgers will win. His handicap is 3.5, Brady's is 8.2, but Rodgers thinks Brady is a better golfer than that. You'd never guess that though, from the way they're trash-talking each other, LOL.

@jolly said in "Kelo was wrong then, and it's wrong now": "The Constitution's text, the common-law background, and the early practice of eminent domain all indicate 'that the Takings Clause authorizes the taking of property only if the public has a right to it, not if the public realizes any conceivable benefit from the taking,'" Thomas wrote. "The majority in Kelo strayed from the Constitution to diminish the right to be free from private takings." Thomas is right. Urban blight can be addressed in other ways, besides seizure under eminent domain. For instance, on a small scale...The small town closest to where I live does not have overgrown, nasty vacant lots. There is a city ordinance specifying how high the grass can get, before the town sends the property owner notice that they have seven days to get it cut, Failure to cut the lot, means the city will mow it for you. And send you a bill. Not a cheap bill. What happens? Vacant lots get cut pretty regularly or the city will pile up enough charges and will seize the property for monies owed. Works pretty well...Property owners don't want to keep sinking money into something that makes them no money, but costs them money. Property either gets developed or sold. If the city seizes a piece of property for monies owed, they either try to sell it to a developer with the clause that it must be developed within a certain time frame, or for several parcels in the poorer part of town, they have partnered up with Habitat and built houses on those lots. +1. In this case I agree with Thomas and the system Jolly described works for me.

@axtremus said in The Jan 6 “nothing burger”: @horace said in The Jan 6 “nothing burger”: Could we be doing more to make an example of the Jan 6 riots? Definitely. An independent commission authorized by Congress to investigate the Jan. 6 riot, for example, is one of the things that we can and should do to make an example of the Jan. 6 riot. By all means, let the left slake its tribal blood lust. It will only be all the more laughable to watch the contrast in reaction to the next oppression olympics riots.

Lock him up

be aware that Sidewalk can only manage a speed of 80Kbps Costs for traffic wouldn't be my main concern. Theoretically, it would be possible to design such a system in a secure way, or at least as secure as your WiFi password, but one has to have a lot of trust in Amazon and there is no way to check what they are actually doing.
