remaining options?

Stock for the Hens. With Manning gone, Montero and Melton candidates for Det, there is very little starting staff depth at Toledo after SGL for injury fill-in.

think of all the good that money could have done and how little it will actually do. People are insane.

also a Randy Newman song.

What was the line from one of the early Harry Potter books? "Never trust something if you can't see where it keeps its brains"?

The greater irony in this court's redistricting jurisprudence is the the completely nonsensical idea that if you do it for partisan reasons, it's OK. How is any deviation from the concept of equality of voting power/one man one vote ever acceptable? This court has wandered so far off into the weeds of partisan self justification that it's functioning as the primary facilitator of the demise of the document they claim to be so dedicated to reading as it supposedly was intended.

Nice thought but if all it does is get Trump's back up to defend him it will not have been productive. Still if PH gets enough bad press Trump is likely to throw him overboard.

game of attrition.

Yeah - but do those asians Love LA?

when the Chinese cut off access to Western researchers to gather field samples, that pretty much guaranteed it would never be resolved beyond speculative theories. And in the end, what does it actually matter whether it jumped to a Chinese researcher gathering samples a cave or from a one critter to another or because someone mishandled a sample? Do people think any of the same things couldn't happen here? The only take away that matters is that in a world as tightly packed and constantly criss-crossed as this one, you have to be prepared to respond when nature does the predictable/inevitable, and we have a admin gutting the CDC. The rest is all distraction.

Headline seems backward though - I would read it to say Warner is splitting off the studio then being bought, but it appears to be the opposite, Netflix is buying the studio and the cable ops get thrown overboard, which makes more sense.

For a Skubal deal to happen I think they need something sort of 'from the outside' to break their way - there has been speculation that the owners think they are going to be get a better deal in the new CBA (they are probably wrong but that's beside the point) and that will hold big offers down and maybe that gives Detroit a path to a deal with Skubal. I think it will have to be some non-status quo situation like that for the door to open.

Finding ways to lose.

This is one side of the coin, but the other, which is also in play, is that these guys are intensely competitive and they see the size of the contract they pull down standing as a big marker among their peers. For some guys it's going to be the one, for others the other

this was cute

They also don't know when to quit. It's customer relations 101 that people don't like to be constantly harrassed.

Oddly enough, today I came across the fact that there were at least 3 attempts to assassinate Queen Victoria.

like I said about the coverage! The U is becoming quite the Leviathan though - it's getting pretty crazy - they just made a big deal about spending bit bucks to very carefully move a run down old frame house that Raoul Wallenberg lived in briefly to a new location several blocks away to get it clear of a site they are leveling for more student housing ( I think ), meanwhile, they announced they are tearing down a 12 story office tower they own across the street from the mall that was built in 1974 because they apparently don't like it anymore, and they opened another new hospital building in a complex where it's already quite impossible to find a place to park as a patient (not being facetious - you really can't). Between the city government being in thrall to real estate developers and the University scrambling the geography whenever and wherever they like, A^2 is getting to feel like living on a monopoly board.

With the speed this team can put on the floor all they need to defeat a zone is....(checks notes) spacing... 😉

I was just watching the replay of the goal. Rasmussen just floating around - could have easily been on the man who made the pass for the assist - but he thought he'd just kinda hang back and watch.......

LOL - this. It's like one thing AI is doing out at the public level is working for people who never figured out how to frame successful queries to the existing search engines. There is value in that - it does take a certain level of experience with digital data to have a sense of how to narrow a search to get to what you actually want. If AI does that for people that's something.

It doesn't matter how many times the Trump WH bludgeons the CIA into re-releasing the same warmed over hash of speculation, if anyone knows anything, it's the Chinese - and they aren't saying.

I've seen other guys think there were 3 outs when there weren't, but John B is the only one I've seen roll the ball toward the mound and get halfway to the dugout before he realized there weren't.

But LeDuff is a very serious journalist.

more sloppy English syntax. Article says the raccoon was guilty of breaking and entering, when it was clearly a case of entering and breaking.
