So you have no evidence. Thanks for proving our point. Were you up there with Rudy in Lansing when he farted?

And it will never change because many people equate our founders with Moses getting the tablets from Mt Sinai. They truly believe it was divinely inspired and to go against that is to go against God.

Like slot machines great effort goes into the psychology. I’ve read that slot makers hire people with phD’s on brain chemistry to study how the bells and lights and patterns trigger certain addictive elements in us. Getting people to believe a system exists is the point.

We don’t play. Maybe twice a year on a whim I will get $5 in easy picks. But sometimes when the jackpot gets huge and there’s a news story the wife will nag me. I try to explain that the bigger jackpot does nothing to the odds. Potentially winning $5 million or $400 million gives me the same motivation. Which is none. I’d prefer the 5 to be honest. Less headache.

the one that didn't die?

"question a school board" That's where you are wrong. Members of boards have had death threats and been chased around in parking lots by psycho anti vax mobs and other like minded idiots regarding other topics. Guess you are ok with that. Once again a failed equivalency. Sensing a trend.

WTF does that have to do with Merrick Garland? Get out of here with that bullshit. Chip Roy is a grandstanding fool who cares not about kids or rape but about being a bigot and blowhard. F him.

There's no system or method.

I have one of those magnets on a scoping/extender type thing. Someting I got from my dad. Just don't know where it is at the moment. I'm going to tie a screw to a wire and see if I can figure that out. If it works and is a strong enoughmagnet then I will drill the hole and try it with the ethernet cable. Pretty sure I just need to drill a hole in the wall then a hole in the joist, there's already one there on the lower right of the picture. Then get it from one hole to the other. This house had an alarm system at one time, two different satellite dishes and multiple cable providers. It's long been a weekend project goal of mine to get rid of it all. All the cable lines go directly outside into the box outside that has splitters and the line runs along the outside of the house with holes drilled into the brick into the room it requires. I cut the phone line as it was hanging very low over my patio. And I cut it as close as I could to the pole where the rest of it just hangs and is hidden in a tree. There's another cable line I don't like but there's no opportunity to do that and I'm not putting a ladder on the main line it connects to. I don't know how cable guys do that when they run it from the main line to the house. Is that strong enough to support?

I am very fortunate to have several markets nearby for shopping that doesn't require a lengthy trip. My wife goes to Meijer or Kroger and does the cliclists things for non perishable items. But for meat and fruit we have two smaller markets as options and go there once or twice a week as needed. And we have a smaller market/party store type place for any random thing we need. I'd rather make 2-3 small trips that take just a few minutes rather than wait in a huge line.

You might have heard stories about directors wanting real money on the set. When that happens you have extreme security around it. The same should be with guns. Especially one that has been loaded. We will probably find that the security person hired to watch over it was a lackey to a production person who had no regard for firearm safety.

She doesn’t like AOC because she could never be as pretty. That’s all those looks care about. MTG looks like a drag queen.

Having prop guns so similar to real guns seems like an overboard to attention to detail... like worrying about the buttons on a coat. The audience will never know. There is no reason a gun on a movie set needs to be loaded. If you load a gun in a scene then immediately after you stop filming the gun should be confiscated by a qualified person and held. Why couldn't they make a prop gun incapable of ever being used? I don't understand how this can happen. Someone's going to be in trouble.

Tigers never had home field advantage in the playoffs during the 2006-2014 run..., except the 06 WS due to the ASG thing. During that team teams like the A's and Orioles were "better". I do think we tend to overrate them. Even in 2012 they were tied with Chicago with a week left and Chicago tanked. Tigers were not in first until the final week.

The Braves are working on a 22 year WS appearance drought. Same as the tigers on 2006.

And I hate it when they move to the side and scratch it off then think they don’t have to wait in line again to redeem it. They’ll just lean over and cut in front of you to hand to the guy. “Give me another”. Like their whole process of playing is the transaction and they’re doing you a favor by letting the guy ring you up while they scratch.

Ron Darling referenced Turner getting hit on the “bicept” as he called it

And I don’t buy the wear and tear argument year to year. That these guys played last October doesn’t matter now. They had their rest. Repeating is hard because you are playing good teams and when you do win it’s often due to good health and that has a way of evening out over time.

I wish Jack Van Impe were still alive.

I think the times are the same regardless of who’s playing. Based on TV network wishes. Not the home team.
