Embryo discussion: The case was about a tray of embryos being dropped on accident by a non-employee at a fertility clinic. In seeking damages, the case went to the Alabama SC. They ruled that an embryo is a person, and therefor the Wrongful death of a child statutes which previously applied to unbor...

So you would agree that Trump could not become a tyrannical dictator, because there would be doubt and unease in those who would have to carry out the tyrant's orders, and further soldiers would ignore Trump's orders to eliminate "undesirables"? Didn't get a chance to reply last night: I don't thin...

Leaning into the villain role.

Devil's advocate: Why didn't snipers take out a couple people storming the Capital on 1/6? The state absolutely had the firepower to end it before people hit the doors. Because the optics of killing rioters on the steps of the Capital would make an awful visual, and something that even far leftists ...

The Japanese in the 40s should have just murdered everybody trying to detain them. That would have solved everything. :pop: Shooting people who are trying to herd you into concentration camps would not in any sense be murder. Pretty sure it's analogous to shooting a cop who is trying to arrest you....

It’s a fantasy to think you having a gun will help in defending yourself against any true government tyranny. ...First, the anti-gun folks are so committed to public disarmament that they would rather get on the cattle cars to the MAGA authoritarian concentration camps than see people retain the me...

Roster Management/Create a Player makes it moot, and a lot of gamers will have run through this group of athletes within the first week in dynasty modes. There will be larger NIL deals for players that are involved with promotion, so I expect that will get your Carson Beck's, Jalon Daniel's, and Jal...

Certainly not as good as a local coach who’s never had 1 losing season, right?

Also BB has 3 winning seasons without TB12 under center (out of 11), so how great is his opinion really?

I can see the issue. But let's just say that the people who support Trump now wouldn't be at the top of the list of those who end up against the wall. I should think the ones who would be at the top of that list would want all available means to avoid ending up there. Here you see a respected PA at...

Williams, Sauber, Haas - no watch sponsor

No need, they use a sundial to measure their laptimes.

Trump and allies planning militarized mass deportations, detention camps

Lincoln and FDR at still worse

I'll never forget that one time I helped a kid return his cart and got to keep his stinking quarter. Sucker.

Who? Exactly.

Where the debate begins in his "worst in history" is quite simply his attempts to pressure Congress and state governments into installing him as a dictator, throwing out the democratic process. I understand that Shyster comes from a libertarian, the federal govt barely has a reason to exist, mindse...

There's a spectrum between alt-right neo-nazi lunatic and a centrist republican. Trump certainly isn't an extreme on either of those as far as his admin/politics go, but he's still GOP. A lot of people view the GOP's positions and policies as counter productive. So when you combine a vision of coun...

Forgot about Kim. heard they had to play in rain boots last time out.

Lean time less than a month from a superb owl

In terms of CBB at least

Yeah, that 30% that is devout to Trump isn't latching on to anybody else. It'll be interesting to see what comes after. I mean the Dems have no leadership structure moving forward, but at least they aren't looking for a new golden idol to worship.

And I have to admit to slightly checking out.
Mizzou is butt, the Juwan Howard experiment has expired back in my birthplace, so the only team I have to root for with a winning record is my father's alma mater Drexel. Lean times in Bear household.

KenPom likes them a lot more than the RPI does it seems, so maybe I'll give them a pass.
What's interesting is that Ken Pom actually likes VT more than UVa

Or maybe UVA has a really low floor as evidenced by scoring a combined 88 points over their last two games and their other horrible losses to Notre Dame(#223) and NC State (#90).

(RPI)

Good on you, CB. :thumb: Agreed. Rec sports aren’t even fun anymore due to the team stacking. It happens everywhere. We did baseball for a bit and the coaches would have a “draft” before the season. One team always ended up with the kids that were more experienced and played together for years and ...

So we're going to make these shoes, you see, and we'll keep them for ourselves but claim they sold out to create the illusion of excessive demand. Then, we can auction them off at outrageous prices and because people will think there's actually a collectors market for it they'll pay it. It'll be gre...
