Here's hoping we find out these players actually are not as bad as they have been playing.

I’ve always loved the church term for this: “Moveable Feast”

TBF ,It’s probably a little unfair to ask someone to be responsible for anyone else’s logic. I’d taken Biden over Trump 16 ways to Sunday but that doesn’t mean I can figure out what he’s been thinking on a lot of issues - eg: Israel, Ukraine, border policy- etc. Biden has seemed to have a problem being “all in.” Like he prefers to shade or trim at the margins on things. This fits the pattern.

Not at all

had to go all the way to Reuters to find the report.

and the corollary to that is likely that if you are talking to Harris and you leak from your end, you are probably done talking to Harris.

I wouldn't argue that there is a segment of the religious community that would like to 'reclaim' Christmas for itself, an argument that 'it's our holiday and if you aren't going to be part of us you shouldn't be expropriating it into secular culture." Given that the Church largely expropriated Roman Solstice celebration into the Christmas festival in the first place, that the Christmas Tree is a totally pagan symbol, etc., that's a bit of hypocritical complaint. OTOH, within the Church, not losing sight of the religious meaning in the middle of all the secular hoopla that intrudes remains a useful piece of advice. So it depends a bit on who is saying it to whom.

He just got the syntax a little out of order. Trump’s faith is to be serious about Taking His.

To me the one red line is admissions, if you take public money you must admit the ‘public’ without preference or exceptions.

That shouldn’t really be a surprise. The winter solstice celebration is far older and has deeper roots than Christianity. People always felt the need to throw a party and have a celebration when days finally stopped getting shorter. The church just co-opted the existing cultural practice because that’s how cultures work. Any excuse to be nice to people, give gifts to your children an eat well is OK by me. 😊

Same two ewe all! 🐑🐑

the problem with that approach is that a team that might make an offer you would take may not even bother calling.

And just as silly as this it is you can exactly reverse this meme to “death row inmates disguise themselves as fetuses…..”

that's why the whole idea of "ready to contend" is a bad one. Maybe they weren't 'ready to win', but if they had pursued Chapman in '22 and signed him to the same deal the Giants did they would be sitting pretty now. Maybe he had some kind of bad rep tailing in with GMs because I never understood how Toronto got him so cheap then. When you can good a good player at a fair price, you have to do it.

that's not that abnormal for a basketball team though. Spurs went from 60 wins to 20 when they lost Robinson for a year. ( then that 20 loss season got them Duncan and they got really good!)

and to think there was time a few years ago when I thought the Wings were only a couple of players away from being a good team.

the first is conceivable, the 2nd a bridge too far. 👳‍♀️

for any who wonder at the connection, you could walk from Cass to Navin Field in few minutes.

That too, but I wasn’t thinking so much about Trump passing as just loosing the Congress again.

Right, the “outrunning the bear” metaphor applies. In most cases you don’t need to be perfectly secure, just secure enough that someone else becomes a more attractive victim.

Be interesting to see what kind of cars they do together. Hondas are good vehicles but pretty pedestrian. Of the the Japanese brands I think Nissan is the closest thing to a driver’s car.

well, there is almost no way something inside the actual harddrive could possibly be rattling short of being run over by a truck. OTOH, something in the housing certainly could be broken, and possible something that holds the interface card on the drive. Many external USB drives have a pretty ordinary SATA harddrive inside them with normal SATA connectors, and a little PCB board plugs into the SATA interface and carries the USB/SATA interface and the USB connector that mounts in the housing. If something is rattling and the drive doesn't read, you might be lucky enough to have just broken the interface. You might be able to open up the housing, remove the drive and plug it into a SATA port of some other computer (or put it in a new $10 on ebay SATA/USB case) and be good to go or maybe just reconnect it properly to the exiting interface. Or not - depending on what you find when you open the box - if you care to try. There is no guarantee it's going to be a free standing SATA drive inside A little research on the model of the drive might tell you.

Back in the day when laptops had spinning rust I had a number of 2.5" laptop drives give up the ghost - rough handling usually, but agree I've don't think I've ever had a drive die in a desktop. Then again, if you are like me when you build your own you don't use low quality drives! There are plenty of them out there in OEM stuff.

Maybe we get lucky and Lange gets over his yips after this rehab. He only walked one in 9 appearances in Toledo after he was sent down.

My nephew used to work for these guys and he knew what he was doing, now that he's gone on to bigger and better things I couldn't say..... https://www.bestbuy.com/site/geek-squad/geek-squad-data-recovery/pcmcat748300502324.c?id=pcmcat748300502324 When you say does not get recognized do you mean it's offering to format it because it doesn't see anything on it, or it doesn't even assign a drive letter (assuming windows here.....) or if Mac doesn't mount it?
