    I have watched it more than once on either Amazon or Netflix. I assume it will come around again. Commercials? No way.

    China tried and failed so far has not succeeded. Let Vietnam compete. I look forward to seeing their vehicles.

    Before I graced the world with my advent (IOW, before I was born), my parents and his parents organized a splendid feast featuring roast pheasant. Everyone was salivating. They weren't rich, and this was a big treat. The table was ready. Before everyone sat down and were 0ut of the room Duke, Dad's English setter, went paws up and snagged the bird and dragged it down to the floor and ate it. Much hullabaloo. That exhausts my pheasant stories.

    @Jolly said in Restoration: Wonder why not use Bondo on the gouge? Getting the stain and color to match would be a bitch, not to mention the grain. It would be obvious that you're trying to hide a defect. So, rather than hide it, make it a "feature."

    My great grandfather worked on the railway and got his foot stuck and lost his leg by train. Maybe I should sue for reparations.

    I see 6, maybe 7. Regardless, some are more adaptable than others and would flourish in multiple offensive systems. Some need the right system. For example: Mac Jones. Mac would be a very good QB in the Sean Payton type system...The system requires an adequate arm (not overpowering) with very good accuracy and a good bit of smarts for all the verbage and play-reads that happens in the huddle and on the line of scrimmage. There are some systems Mac just wouldn't do well in. I think in the near future, we're going to see the NFL move a lot closer to the college RPO game. Then, I think we'll see them move away from it, as QB careers become much shorter, due to the pounding those guys get.

    GIFs are still the only guaranteed way to embed animations into emails. They aren't just used as memes. Also, it's easy as shit to make a gif. This guy's got an incomplete understanding.

    @Ivorythumper said in Ketamine: @George-K So is not giving a damn about the pain the same as relieving depression? I’m confused about the dosage here. Giving the dose listed in the article during a c-section - 0.5 mg/kg is a good analgesic dose. I have no idea what effect it has on depression, particularly because it's a one-of, and I don't know how these people felt a week later. But, it's a small enough dose to be acutely useful, and chronically insignificant (as a one-of, as I said). That dose, given quickly - as opposed to via infusion over 40 minutes, repeated - though the same dose, probably has different pharmacodynamics. For example, I can give you 200 mg of propofol over an hour, and nothing will happen, though you might get a bit drowsy. If I give it in 30 seconds, you'll stop breathing.
