Shadeur? More like schadenfreudeur. He's making the third round fun.

Wow, almost like a sad script. The Steelers have always drafted better than most, looks like they got another solid guy.

On a fish kick this week as Janet is out in the evenings supporting the high school musical. Last night was grilled mahi mahi with grilled sweet peppers and sugar snap peas. A big plate of very healthy food for 300 calories. Tonight is, from one of my favorite recipe sites: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/grilled-cod-with-pistachio-herb-salsa/#wprm-recipe-video-container-86282

@LuFins-Dad said in I want this.: @Nunatax said in I want this.: Two words: robot mower A roomba with sharpened blades. What can go wrong? For one thing they're REALLY easy to steal from your front yard.

It comes from an intelligent businessman and is worth considering. So consider it.

Didn't they arrest a New Mexico judge yesterday, too?

6.5% is the perfect ABV... citra and cascade hops, that sounds delicious.

Fascinating. Over the years I can still sing bits of Bugs' Wagner... "You're so wuvly" "Yes I know it, I can't help it" "Return my wuv" There's another where he plays piano selections with his ears and feet, and a cheeky mouse living inside also plays bits then has to avoid the hammers

@Horace said in Make America Globalist Again: I think the main pro-isolationism messaging boils down to empathy for people who would have died of a fentanyl overdose, but were saved by a factory job. As a country, we're really, really prioritizing that story. It's a strange thing to put at the top of the economic priority list. Agreed. I don't think it was the factory job by itself. It was the factory job along with the cultural norm of people able to get married and have a regular life if you were willing to buckle down and do an honest day's work. The culture part of the equation is completely ignored.

The Pakistan line was drawn through Punjab. Punjab was the location of the last independent Indian empire that fell to the British. About 12-20 million people were displaced and some estimate up to 2 million deaths from resulting violence and deprivation. The line was so ineptly drawn that the founding temple of the Sikh faith ended up in Pakistan. (Sikhism comes from Punjab). The apocryphal story is that Lord Mountbatten couldn't take the Indian summer heat and just drew a line through villages and cities as fast as he could.

@Doctor-Phibes Trump had better, seeing that his policy of tariffs and other assorted threats against Canadian sovereignty have single-handedly stolen the election from the Conservative Party of Canada and all but ensured a Liberal Party majority on Monday evening. @Mik Said no Canadian ever. I wish. Sadly, there are a few out here who have crawled out from under their rocks thinking the Trump path to salvation is the new and immutable gospel. I expect they will follow the lead of their MAGAt brethren and demand obedience from the majority of the country following Monday’s election. The rather inept premier of Alberta plays to their anger and keeps it stoked.

@jon-nyc said in Trump 100-Day Approval Ratings: Why is he underwater on guns? Maybe tariffs raise prices for guns and ammo? @Jolly, any insight there?

I heard that there’s a rumour going around that Hegseth may resign after learning there are Trump tariffs on make up and other grooming products.

China needs nada from us - and we only represent 12% of their exports - which they can absorb. Meanwhile, they've made and will continue to make alliances as a result of the US posture. Overall, one wonders if China won't get tired of all the winning.
