Louisiana has always been in the top five.

New Orleans + stupidity.

Good news for Floridians. They can vote him out of office without voting him in as a neighbor.

You put a swift end to that in April of 2005.

@Loki said in "They wanted a fight, we'll give them one." The Expanse Season 5:

I just took the plunge. S1 E1 and 2. I’m in the grasp.

I found it really difficult to get into, even after the first 2 episodes of Season 1. Then, with season 3, BOOM! It all made sense.

What I like about it is that the authors have said that they know how the story will end, and how it's going to go. No doubt there are differences between the books (there are 8, with one more to come) and the series, but the series is following the books pretty closely. Season 5, coming in December will parallel the 5th book.

There's TONS of geeky Expanse stuff on the web, especially YouTube. What everyone loves is the approach to hard science: no FTL travel, no artificial gravity, the only concession that they've made so far is the "Epstein Drive" - a remarkably efficient drive that can sustain acceleration for a long time with minimal use of propellant. With a 1g acceleration, it's possible to get from one planet to another in a matter of days, rather than months (look it up!).

Welcome to the crowd, beltalowda!

Wait 'till you meet Drummer...she's the hawt.

@Jolly said in Hey, Horace?:

PT works, but most of the time you can do a lot of the stuff at home, not needing as many visits.

I agree that PT works, in fact it's indispensable, if taken for what it is. Again, I have limited and focused experience, but PT for a quad tendon boils down to waiting for the repair to heal, so the connection is strong, then flexing and extending the joint as much as possible to regain flexibility. Like duh. That is the PT for a quad tendon injury. They will hand wave lots of stuff at the PT office, but the joint only moves two ways, flexing and extending. So what exactly are you going to have to do, if you want to regain that functionality? The body is doing the work of healing. The surgery does the work of making the connection that the body will heal to. The patient does the work of waiting till it's safe to move, then moving as much as is safe. The PT office does the work of hand waving huge complexity to the whole process and taking up an enormous amount of time from the patient, and a decent amount of money from the insurance company. Yes, they also do some basic education and hand holding (so to speak) through the process. But no, I don't want to spend the first 5 minutes of my appointment waiting in the waiting room, then the next 15 with a hot towel wrapped around my hand and then swishing my hand through their ice water. A process so useless they never even bother asking you to do it at home. I don't want to do that when I fit this into my own schedule. Waking up early 2 days per week, driving to the office, driving back. I would hope that it was obviously worth my while.

@Sweet-Meteor , I love you.

It also provides hope for Florida man.

You would like fly fishing. Very zen.

We are looking to spend a month down south this winter. I plan to do some surf fishing for entertainment (and dinner). Right now Alabama beaches are the main candidate.

nbc is a hate group

As long as the dogma does not live loudly within them.

Like one guy told me... "What'll I do if Biden wins? Get up and go to work the next morning."

Have fun, goalie.

@Mik said in Florida Man Sale:

I watched a show on history channel about how the cartels were trying to buy Russian subs for smuggling.

Just googling "submarine for sale in Florida" gets a lot of hits.

The Foxtrot-Class (now retired) Russian sub "Scopion" was on sale for about $1.1M (that's not a misprint). It was rated to about 900 ft depth.

Here's another one that sold. Asking price was $550K.

If you could get it operational (which would cost millions, of course) and get a crew, there's a lot of dope that could be smuggled.

True Detective S1 was brilliant. Season 2 much less so. Abandoned Season 3 after a couple of episodes, maybe I should revisit.

We already have a wannabe in office, I guess.

Who's sticking you, Trump or Melania?😄
