    @Mik I use Prime Delivery for staples - canned goods, some frozen stuff, coffee, etc. I'm just going to have to be more judicious about when I order to meet the $150 threshold. It used to be, "Hey, I only need another $5 for free..."

    @taiwan_girl said in "Strap in, kid. We're going on an adventure.": How did the ride go? It was pretty damn cold. I was in the impossible position of choosing between going slower, prolonging the cold, or going faster, intensifying it. But kiddo had a blast.

Yep. Heard a rumor some guy who put his feet up on Pelosi's desk had a harsher sentence... He deserves that one, sorry. Firebomber guy deserves worse than what he got, though. Fairness. Just asking for fair justice... Hard to get in the age of internet kangaroo courts.

    I think I told this story before, but I was a talk by Buzz Aldrin. One of things I remember was that he said that before they launched to the moon, the crew was talking and they was about 90% sure they would make it to the moon but only about 60% sure that they would make it back!

    @LuFins-Dad said in I'd quit.: ? He’s always been with the Dolphins. He was mediocre the first season, modest improvement 2nd season, and lights out this year while healthy. I do agree, though. The guy seems prone to head injuries. You're right. I'd confused him with Mariotta,

    For sky scrapers, I wonder if arrays of smaller windmills (as opposed to one large one) will work.

    One year. Colinford Mattis's sentence was the second of its kind delivered by U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan of the Eastern District of New York after Urooj Rahman, a public interest lawyer who joined Mattis in the firebombing, was sentenced in November to 15 months. In a pre-sentencing memo, prosecutors said they viewed "Mattis's conduct here as equally culpable to Rahman's conduct" and recommended a sentence of 18 to 24 months—well beneath the initial guideline of 10 years. Mattis's attorney, Sabrina Shroff, declined to comment. Mattis and Rahman leveraged their prestigious degrees, left-wing legal advocacy, and personal connections—including with one former Obama administration official who posted Rahman's $250,000 bail—to curry favor with the Justice Department. Liberal media outlets like NPR and New York magazine produced fawning coverage of the two after their arrest. Trump administration prosecutors had sought a 10-year sentence with a domestic terrorism enhancement for the pair, which was dropped after President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland took office. Mattis and Rahman in June scored a sweetheart deal with Department of Justice prosecutors, pleading guilty to lesser arson and explosives charges that warranted a mere five-year sentence. New York State announced before Rahman's sentencing that both she and Mattis had been disbarred. Can you imagine what it would have been had she been parading?

    Watched it yesterday. See: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/1007/what-are-you-listening-to-now/85 The Mrs. thought the "crooning" was nice. Very surprised he did not include Fleetwood Mac Rumors. The recording and mix on that album is awesome.

    I think she made some good choices in semi-autos. The Ruger SR is about 2/3's the size of the Taurus. You can slip it in a purse with no problem, whereas the Taurus is maybe too much. But I'd rather have the Taurus for the truck and around the house. And the Ruger is a bit more expensive. The Shield EZ in .380 is a great gun for seniors. Grip safety, slide safety, easy racking, good sites and low recoil for a centerfire round. There are some sixty-ish grain copper bullet stuff out on the market now, that lets the .380 really punch above its weight. Keep the mag loaded and out of the gun and it's easy to chamber with a simple rack, but harder for a kid to manipulate everything to fire...If he can get his hand on the gun, he has to insert the mag, chamber, take the safety off and depress the grip safety before it can fire.
