  1. I'm really not up for a season of playing the Washington Generals to the league's globetrotters.....
  2. well that was definitely sucky
  3. this is not looking good.
  4. Comic relief breaK - Trump "English is our national language" admin FEMA running a preparedness PSA with everything written in Spanish. Don't any one tell Donnie! 🤣
  5. "ChatGPT, generate a video of Margot out by three inches"
  6. it would be gravy if Dingler hit a little this season.
  7. Terrible choice to dive for that by Conforto but we'll take it.
  8. now we need at least 6 more outs to win this game.
  9. unfortunately Margot may be out.
  10. Margot! How about that?
  11. yeah - there was no camera angle that showed the fan's glove, but based on where he was standing and the fact he was leaning it's not geometrically possible he wasn't over the field of play. But Vest grooved the pitch - you just can't do that to an all world player like Betts.
  12. yeah - and wasted a really good AB by McKinstry
  13. yeah - Javy does look a little more comfortable but it's not made any difference so far.
  14. Arithmetic is fascist.
  15. you're not supposed to hit HRs in LA after dark.
  16. How did they beat CLE without Cade? NBA makes no sense at all some nights
  17. Jeez SB! I spun a couple back in the day but was always lucky. I never put a ding in that SS - to my parents everlasting surprise, and probably frustration. If I had it might have been their excuse to have me get rid of it! I never raced but I did seriously practice maneuvres, on dirt, in parking lots, etc., and especially on snow. I think we make such a big mistake not teaching people to how to handle a car under a little more duress. It saved me more than once.
  18. I guess that's the safety of fish swimming in a school. Do something that stands out like a Milken or Theranos and you may get hammered. Just do the common everyday fraud everyone else is doing and you're immunized since they won't/can't prosecute everybody.
  19. My first car had a Chevy 327 Hi-comp (an SS). It was hydraulic valves to no top end there but it did pull like a trooper off the line. Compression was so high in that silly thing that the starter couldn't turn it over once it was hot. But it didn't matter since the damn thing started on the first push to TDC pretty much every time. When I think back to all that power with those terrible suspensions, bias ply tires and drum brakes I'm amazed any of us survived it!
  20. OK - if the meme/token/coin is the specific - no arg - the government has been tiptoeing around the whole business. Nobody seems to want to admit the emperor isn't wearing any cloths. Or maybe I wouldn't be surprised if part of it is that since it's all such a good vehicle for money laundering that the CIA lobbies hard inside gov to leave it alone! 🤷‍♂️
  21. Interestingly, when the movie was first mentioned I assumed that in reality both cars would have been old blg block iron with wet lifters that would be floating at 5500 rpm anyway - but my first take was wrong. I looked it up and you could get both the 427 in the Mustang and a 426 Hemi in a hot Chrysler build with a solid valve train so both would have been able to wind it up pretty good! But you did want the cars to sound different, and the V-12 would not have the same out of phase exhaust timing burble of a V-8 so you'd get a good contrast if that is what they really did.
  22. what's your subdivision of investment frauds when you say 'these people"? She was small potatoes and likely had no idea what she was doing. People certainly do get prosecuted for investment frauds all the time.
  23. The addiction of voters to Trump reminds me of the Berlusconi phenomenon in Italy. That did play itself out, but Silvio wasn't half the maleficent agent Trump is.
