Good to see that they have gone beyond that milquetoast statement since It was an accurate statement. Ms. Morey said, "General reminder that force used to disperse peaceful protesters engaging in civil disobedience should be proportional and reasonable." Acts of "civil disobedience," by definition,...

I agree and think it might be better without a date. The whole impression is, IMO, quite dressy, notwithstanding the fact that it's based on a wheel design. Dates aren't necessarily needed on a dress watch.

I think this FTC rule will likely run into the same problem under the Major Questions Doctrine as the EPA did in West Virginia v. EPA . The FTC Act is well over 100 years old (passed in 1914), but it has never before been interpreted as barring non-competes as "unfair methods of competition." Non-co...

That BBS watch is really growing on me, although I don't think it has grown enough for me to spend $3,000. The only thing I don't like is that the Union Glashütte logo appears to be on the crystal. I would have made it smaller and put it on the top of the dial. Random trivia: the town of Glashütte i...

They were also largely not enforceable in other locations. Good to just put the nail in the coffin on them. :?: The only place I'm aware of that does not enforce non-competes under at least some circumstances is California. And even California permits non-compete agreements in connection with the s...

LED technology has made even small flashlights amazingly bright. A little LED flashlight that can slip into a pocket is way brighter now than those massive multi-D-battery halogen flashlights from back in the day that could have doubled as baseball bats. There's no way a phone can even come close to...

From seatguru, Southwest appears to use a 31" seat pitch on its 737-700s and a 32-33" seat pitch on its -800s and MAX8. Depending on the aircraft, all of Delta, American, and United have a 30" seat pitch for some standard seats. For example, American's MAX8s and A321neos have a 30" seat pitch for th...

Thank God. Just want I want, a Gravy Seal fumbling in his cargo shorts to pull out a gun to shoot someone. If it’s in a cargo pocket it’s more akin to a security blanket than a defensive weapon at that point. Gun goes in right front pocket. Other stuff goes in the cargo pockets. The draw isn't any ...

Phone, keys, wallet. What else do you need? Guns. No self respecting gun owner would just throw their weapon in a pocket… problem is we have enough owners with no self respect. That's why pocket holsters exist. I'm quite fond of the DeSantis Nemesis . Works great and very comfortable with a suitabl...

I don't understood the hostility to cargo shorts. How do you guys carry all of your stuff in the summer when you don't have a jacket?

possibly for the aviation thread but I would’ve assumed that the teams would own their own jets; not charter them through an airline. Especially not United I guess that means the Rays probably use Spirit Briefly stuck my head in here and saw this. There's always a thread on this subject on airliner...

Err, I think the T is currently closed between Wood and Steel Plaza, which I would imagine is the basis of your warning.

I dunno if this might be a "fat guy" thing, but pants that don't have enough belt loops. I have several pairs of jeans that I otherwise like, but they only have a total of five belt loops: two in the front, two on the sides, and only a single loop in back. The waist can actually pull down in between...

I think there have been three non-commercial vehicles with seven-speed manuals: the Porsche 911, the Chevorlet Corvette, and the Ford Bronco. Although for the Bronco I think "first' is a super-low crawler gear that basically takes the place of low range on a transfer case, so most of the time it's d...
