  1. I don't know. How are the owners going to get by if they have to keep paying players millions? By the way, I got my my eggs for $3.49 per dozen this week (not a sale. I's been that price for a while). We are limited to two cartons per customer,but that's good enough for me.
  2. LOL, You're the one who's crying. I want to see Bregman sign somewhere (preferablty the Tigers) as much as anyone, but it's really none of my business how he goes about signing a contract. The only people who know about whether he'd be a good teammate are players and so far all quotes have been positive.
  3. "Appearing". It's all speculation.
  4. We'll never know what they offered him unless they sign him, but if the speculation that they have offered a 6-year contract for 25-30 million annually is true, I think that would be a very reasonable offer. I would not expect them to go beyond that.
  5. Christian nationalism is not a real religion. Teach your children to be the just the opposite of everything Trump is.
  6. I suspect it's a lie, but it's a very real scenario. If there is any kind of threat to HIS presidency, I expect he will cover it up this time.
  7. There could be active negotiations going on that we don't know about. Or maybe he he is close to signing with some team but they are ironing out details on a complicated contract.
  8. What has he shown us? He has hardly said anything at all. Almost everything that has been said about him is speculation.
  9. Six years was what I expected at the beginning of the off-season. I didn't think there was any way they could him for less. I still feel that way. I think it's in line with what other players have gotten. He's most comparable to Chapman.
  10. If government and academic research get destroyed by the NIH budget cuts, I may find out more about how private industry research works.
  11. So, even it's done illegally, you're OK with it?
  12. I found that to be true in govt work too!
  13. I think it depends on the field.
  14. I have been in environments where students and staff are not good at STEM. In my current academic environment, most are highly motivated to learn STEM. I don't agree that people in academic environments are there because they failed elsewhere. In the world of research (my world), many chose academia over private because it's very difficult to do honest research in private industry which is mostly driven by profit. Not all academic research is unbiased, but yout got a much better chance there.
  15. I am sure some of them would do just fine if they applied themselves to STEM. I have been teaching long enough to know that lots of different kinds of people can learn STEM. I also know that the majority of people don't like STEM which is a problem. If I am lookng for STEM talent, I am looking for people that are interested in doing it. Most NRA types I have encountered are not looking to do nerdy STEM jobs.
  16. The majority of Americans have no clue what he's even doing. He is dismantling the government by sidestepping other branches of government. You may like what is happening, but what he is doing is illegal and anti-constitution. It is also very damaging to millions of Americans. The United States is not supposed to be a fascist dictatorship. My employer is one of the many organizations which is suing him right now. I applaud them.
  17. I know when I want to find good STEM talent, the NRA is my first avenue!
  18. Republicans used to pretend to care about people with disabilities. Now that their leader has said they are ugly and disgusting to look at, they don't want anything to do with them.
  19. Bribery is cool now. https://www.marketwatch.com/articles/trump-pause-enforcement-bribery-law-2586594f?mod=mw_latestnews "President Donald Trump is expected to direct the Justice Department to pause enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies from bribing officials of foreign governments."
  20. What need does Whit Merrifield fill? He can't hit. He can't field. Maybe he can be a baserunning coach.
  21. I have no clue what I'd do with a bitcoin as I still think it's a scam. The giftcard idea sounds promising though.
  22. I'd rather watch the baseball game
  23. I can't even find a bank to exchange my coins into dollars anymore. Banks don't seem to have those machines anymore. I have a few hundred dollars worth of coins and I haven't had time to separate them and roll them up. There are companies that have those machines now but they want to take about 20% of your money, so I have avoided them. I have thought about giving them to someone in need and letting them roll them up the coins themselves and keep the money. I am not sure whether that would be worth their time though. It may just be insulting.
  24. Why are you supporting someone who wants to be a fascist dictator? Isn't that the kind of thing you fought against in the war?
  25. Sure you can. Just don't call him a ****. (as in Allen)
