    Wilson is 34. He should have 2 or 3 good years left. They need offensive line help. Bad. Denver is about $10M under the cap, which should roll over into next year. They have no first or second round picks in 2023. They do have two picks in the third round. I predict Payton drafts a guard in the third and a TE. He's either going to trade for a center or most likely will get a FA. Don't be surprised if Can't Guard Mike follows Sean to Denver.

    The thing that most criminals have in common with each other is that they think they are the smartest people in the room. And 99+% of the time, they never are. "Oh, nobody will notice if I order USD $1MM of chicken wings and never serve them to the kids! What an easy way to make some money!!" I dont know if they have a school board or not, but I would think they would be looking at the budget sheet and see it was way out of line.

    @George-K said in But...but...Jim Crow on Steroids?: @Axtremus said in But...but...Jim Crow on Steroids?: The logistics, the traffic jams, and that wholly unnecessary costs and inconvenience ... just do this sort of things virtually. They did it virtually in 2020 they can do it virtually again in 2024. I agree. And an added bonus is that you wouldn't have to travel to a racist state. Win-win. I agree. I think we discuss here during the last couple of conventions. The outcome is known, nobody really pays attention to it anymore, etc.

    Heard a couple of black cops interviewed on the radio. Their take? Cops are taught to stay one step ahead on the aggression curve, trying to negate the threat. They are also people, who get amped up by high speed chase, foot chases and wrestling with a suspect. Both cops agreed that you are taught to never, ever, never kick or strike a person in the head. Actually, they agreed you shouldn't kick a suspect. Blows with a baton or ASP are ok to use on a fighting suspect, but strikes should be confined to muscles, the more muscular the area, the better. Both thought some of the post arrest banter was pure stupid. Something else was brought out...If these cops normally worked this shift together, it leads to a group mentality of us against the world, on steroids. To combat this, you need good shift supervision and an occasional rotation of shift members. So... Adrenaline rush. Bad training or bad adherence to training. Bad group mentality Both cops stated this was not a response based on race.

    @Mik said in Hey, George & Cats! Sometimes you just need a hug.: Bless their hearts. They've a very weird symbiotic relationship. They all hang out in the same room together—and if one's missing, they go and find the third to let them know where they are—but never, ever in the same chair.

    A word about chicken poop...It's a very "hot" fertilizer. It needs to sit in the compost pile for several months before using or you'll burn your plants. Rabbit is the only manure that can be used totally green.

    @LuFins-Dad Yes. We would sometimes set up a reflector - horizontally stacked and staked 2” diameter branches covered in shiny side up aluminium foil - behind the fire that theoretically radiated some of the heat back into the lean-to. For the most part though when it go below -20 or so we would take shifts tending the fire through the night.

    They have a free subscription option, so I signed up. Will try to see this and report back here my take, so the rest of you don't have to decide what to think about it.

    @Klaus said in Not bad for 64: I'm sure there's a fair bit of cosmetic surgery involved, but it's still impressive and presumably includes a very healthy lifestyle, sports, etc. She's a Southern California critter with friends in the tv and movie industry, so I don't doubt it. But the work hasn't been much. Body-wise, she's known for eating mostly vegetarian and for a lot of yoga. Plus, she's a petite woman, which helps, I guess...Seems to me that petite people seem to age a little slower. She's had good definition in her arms and kegs past the point that many of us do. She's just changed a year or two ago, to performing in pants, rather than miniskirts.

Most vehicles will have a notch or hole in the unibody or frame that one of those will fit into. Lock it in and suck it down with a side winch or a chain and binder.

    Nah. Because of the journalistic makeup of Big Media (they're 95%+ Dems) and the simple fact that nobody digs like they used to, because of budget, laziness, etc., I don't think things will change.

    Me too, especially when it was a challenge. I didn’t think he made it, or at least I didn’t see conclusive evidence.

    @xenon said in Satanic?: Shazia Sikander, a 53-year-old Pakistani American artist Fun fact: Sikander is a pretty common name in the North India / Pakistan region. It's the local pronunciation of "Alexander" as in "Alexander the Great". That dude left a bit of an impression... Not to Diogenes.
