Teams hide injuries, especially to QB's. After he retired, it's come to light that Brees played with broken ribs, plantar fasciitis and his shoulder was shot for his last three years in the league. It's so bad, he has to throw left handed if he's playing with his kids in the yard and it will never recover. His last three...

How we contain ourselves from joking about bombs on airplanes, is how we're gonna end up containing ourselves from joking about any violence any time.

@LuFins-Dad said in The Trump "Hush Money" Trial starts today: Well, he’s still not a convicted felon, and won’t be until after the election. I’m sure the campaigns will respect that fact and be precise in their language. One of Trump's former attorneys was on Gutfeld! last night and besides the obligatory yaks, he'd occasionally was serious....They were talking about disinformation and what actually constitutes it. It was his opinion that NYT vs. Sullivan needed to be revisited by SCOTUS, in light of our current access to information on the internet. With the ability to post a headline or a story in a matter of seconds, then change that story is seconds and then possibly take the story down in seconds, it was his contention that news creators should try their best to get things right about public figures, even if their choice in stories was biased. And that if a story was wrong or if a headline was intentionally misleading, creators should not be able to hide behind the 1st Amendment and should be open to suit for damages.

Plastic straw is a moot issue now as the industry has found good alternatives (e.g., biodegradable cellulose that feels and holds up in water for a long time much like plastic).

It’s only in the last 80 years that western militaries have not done that. In any other age Gaza would be a pile of rubble devoid of life.

@Mik said in Bourbons: The 1792 Bottled In Bond sounds pretty good but I can't find it. I have 5 bourbon bottles on my shelf, the 1792 Small Batch is the best. $29.99 1792 Small Batch Bourbon 750ml at the VA liquor Store $43.99 1792 Bottle In Bond Sazerac Barrel Select 750ml $46.99 1792 Single Barrel - Sazerac Barrel Select 750ml All in stock according to the web page I'll have to find some of the higher priced bottle.

@LuFins-Dad yes. The other thought is that these decisions (which are blamed on Trump) are unlikely to be 100% his. They came from advisors and military "experts" in the Pentagon, and he agreed. It's possible, though unlikely, that he came up with this plan on his own, but I doubt it - no, I can't prove it. Still the point stands that it happened on Biden's watch - I've been assured that things that happen on a President's watch are his responsibility even if put in motion by his predecessor. Again, if, as is asserted, it was so horrible, why did Biden's handlers permit it to proceed? They had months to reverse it.

@Copper said in Motor Trend's Ugliest Cars: One of these is the 58 T-Bird The other is the 77 T-Bird (that looks just like the one I owned) Which is which?

Right now, I'd be looking for a 2005 50th Anniversary T-Bird. Ford only built 1500, they're great looking cars, and the prices aren't ridiculous. [image: 856_main_l.jpg]

I think you have to lower your pants below your skivvies.

I had to add a good audio interface to avoid latency issues on my windows PC. Probably no issue if you have a mac.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Still think it's too early...: I'm voting for Eisenhower, and so is my 140 year old grammy. A recently passed great American folk musician’s deceased grandfather, a carpenter, always voted for Eisenhower because Lincoln won the war.

Even AI couldn't make something that inaccurate.

Australia has fought in every conflict the U.S. has been in since WW2. Which is a very good reason China should take that into account, as they eye monkeying around Down Under.

@taiwan_girl said in Tax Time: Dont you pay property tax on any home you own or is a second (or third) home not having to pay taxes? The proposal is to tax “vacant properties” and “short term rentals” at higher rates than the typical owner-occupied and/or long-term rentals.
