    Offer him either a 1% finder’s fee from the winnings or lock him up for theft.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in "Rich Men North of Richmond": @Copper said in "Rich Men North of Richmond": The agency’s portfolio includes Brittney Spencer, Megan Moroney, and Jamey Johnson I don't know if it's me being out of touch, which obviously I am, but I have no idea who any of them are. Same here.

    Harrison was a rare exception. The guy spent years as a practice squad guy between Pittsburgh and Baltimore, but he kept investing every single penny he could into strength and conditioning and rehabilitation. He cracked a lineup with Pittsburgh during an injury issue, and his pay quadrupled. He kept investing everything into his body. He came back to the team the next training camp and played 4-5 years at a HOF level. It absolutely is an amazing story.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Ophelia: Luke is being a smart ass sending us gideos of the wet driveway at his GF’s and talking about the tremendous flooding. He points out a puddle and states “that’s standing water… Dad told me not to drive through standing water…” Is 21 too old for corporal punishment? You are responsible for him being in this world, so I see no reason you can't take him out of it...

    That's awesome. Young folk today probably don't appreciate how much Star Wars shared with the cheesy old sci-fi movies.

    @Axtremus said in BOHICA!: Among Disney+, Apple TV, YouTube Premium, and Netflix, I find Amazon's programming to be the least interesting. I rarely watch anything on Prime Video. Prime membership for me is all about the "free" shipping. :man-shrugging: I look at it as lagniappe. A few of the series are pretty decent, such asReacher or Mrs. Maizel. Plus, TNF football and a few sports events. And I can usually wade through the movies and find something. But it's usually not for the latest and greatest.

    @LuFins-Dad said in College football is racist.: So yeah, I believe in systemic racism. I’m sure @Jolly does as well. You forgot Miguel Estrada's nomination to the appellate court which was blocked because he was Latino. Over a decade ago an inner office memorandum from Senator Durbin’s office that was not intended to be made public referred to a George W. Bush judicial nominee, Miguel Estrada, like this; “especially dangerous, because he has a minimal paper trail, he is Latino, and the White House seems to be grooming him for a Supreme Court appointment.”

    @Mik said in ChatGPT fails: Of course there is. Many of them. OK, if we count the censors (the folks who keep updating the rules for what sensitive topics ChatGPT should refuse to engage in and what offensive words ChatGPT should avoid using), then yes.

    They want your oil heaters, your dishwashers, your ceiling fans, all small appliances. People won't give up this stuff without a fight. As the pdf says, they need "“Aiming devices,” “Breaching equipment,” “Silencers,” and “Tactical lighting,” as well as hundreds of pistols, shotguns, and several rifles"

    They generally last forever. My iPad version 1 is still going, although I have a 2 as well. My daughter's Macbook from I think 2008 was still going strong until the battery puffed.

    Maybe i am reading it wrong, but it does seem legal. Let us say that you want to hire someone for the (looks up a race organization) NAACP. In your application, you say that "must be a current member of the NAACP". Seems like that would be okay. Not sure if that would be different.
