Thanks. And my above post is why I think he'll be found guilty of manslaughter, not murder. Hopefully that mutes some of the resulting riots.

Glad you liked it. I did too!

Actually I used some thing a little coarser, like this https://texasgardenmaterials.com/product/black-star-gravel/ [image: black-star-gravel-for-sale-houston-tx-77099.jpeg]

And I know you never said anything negative about the previous administration because you wouldn't have a job.

Thanks, Aqua. Glad to know that's where things are at. Certainly cheers me up. And the preposition thing, won't bother me any longer since it's over. Language restrictions are on the way out. Nothing to be concerned with. How's that. I'm freed up!

@Loki said in Banning choke holds: The New question of course is how do you immobilize someone such that they no longer are a safety threat. Apparently handcuffs are not enough. A net? How is this the new question? This was literally my question when starting this thread! And yes, I vote bring back the cartoonish big dog catcher nets.

@Aqua-Letifer Oh, I don’t mean from that, just somewhere in the room.

Notice no one has ever SEEN Siri. There's a reason for that. [image: f415741282d44b03a088e67b393cd20e.jpg]

Awesome! I played Round #1 on Sunday, first time since October.

Thanks Kluurs, I disabled the 'best offer' feature. I just don't want to deal with it all week.

@wtg said in Fig Leaf?: @Loki https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/06/16/ahmaud-arberys-relatives-other-families-meet-trump-policing/3197473001/ Love the headline, don't you? Contentious' or 'compassionate'? Ahmaud Arbery's relatives, other families meet with Donald Trump to talk police reform

That was a nice puzzle. Initially I made it way more complicated than it needed to be. I'm a little proud I found a solution that doesn't require Pythagoras or, for that matter, any formula at all

@jon-nyc said in Why you need cops: Come on, Jolly, say it...... Nah, but we would have a place for him. He'll get lots of sunshine and exercise, with trained staff to watch over him. [image: ?width=630&version=2150694]

@Jolly said in Face the Music: @Copper said in Face the Music: Keanu Reeves John Wick movies are terrific. The guy who taught Reeves tactical shooting is very good. Those movies are what the Matrix were 20 years ago. You know what else? Like the Bourne movies before them, they showcase Kali instead of Wushu, the old Hollywood standby. (The director and fight coordinator are/were both Inosanto students.) I've very little understanding of Kali except to say that the empty-hand distance is the same as in Wing Chun, and the flow drills of the two are very compatible. And being a Philippines thing, it's historically taught with no ceremony or grandeur whatsoever: they're endlessly pragmatic folks, to the point where it's completely okay to drop some techniques or modify others depending on how you can make it work for you. Lotta U.S. police training either features or outright nicks standard Kali techniques. Very cool it keeps showing up in the movies these days. Guru Dan must be beside himself.
