Iran crosses old red lines and sets ‘new equation’ with attack on Israel In the two weeks since the Damascus strike, Iran’s leaders publicly and repeatedly telegraphed that its forces would respond. The country’s supreme leader pledged that Israel would “regret” its actions. U.S. and Israeli offici...

I sent off a $5500 check that the FedGov worked real hard to earn. Yay. Thank you for covering my Child Tax Credit :thumb: I hate living in one state and working in the other. Fedgov owes me $2k, State of Kansas owes me $1k, but I owe the state of Missouri $1500. Still coming out on top, but of cou...

Right? A big donation to USC doesn't seem like enough to keep that many people quiet, especially since the university had supposedly already paid off the two women 20+ years before.

Sorry to hear dodint, but hopefully you find somebody so she can be comfortable at home.

Welcome to Indiana South

Thanks all. Despite the news not being what we wanted to hear (it was either build a new plant here for our growing business, or close us up when the lease expires) it's nice to know something and to be able to make concrete plans around it.

Well, the other shoe finally dropped at work. They announced today that they are planning on closing our plant and moving production to New York. Timeline gives us 18 months to find new work so it could certainly be worse. At the moment they’re saying product engineering is one of the few department...

Looks breezy this afternoon

I didn't realize Weir had written another one after Artemis (which I really enjoyed). Guess I'll have to read it before the movie gets released.

Sucks to hear mikey, but from what I've gathered it'll just be onward and upward for you.

Arizona SC validates a law from 1864 banning abortion and charging people with crimes for aiding. This country has gone so far backwards. Whole lotta FUD about this on the interwebs, including the "abortion law from 1864!" Stuff. Yes, while the law was originally enacted in 1864, it was recodified ...

Khalil Mack played one year of HS football 16 or 17 years ago, I'm sure he gives aaaall of the s**ts what his recruit level was. Is it meant to motivate 1-star recruits new to the team? "Look at 52 over there. He played 10 games of high school ball, and now he's a 8x Pro Bowler. All you have to do ...

Man, his tenure at San Fran was good until he and ownership started to get into it, did he lose the plot that badly?

Just taken by putting the goofy classes over the phone lens.

It's all about the opportunity to accessorize.

Not blowing that picture up to critique, but I also give Barron extra credit for French cuffs. Those two seem to have at least visited a tailor. The other three are trying for the Dude bro fit, and I can't even speak to that ugliness.

Death to Slime and Kinetic Sand!

Glad to hear NTP, nice that the fun is back.
My daughter has a scrimmage tonight, and a "tryout" to guest pitch Wednesday night for an upcoming tournament during her team's off weekend.

I believe it's more of a wear & tear thing than it popping on you with one throw. Surgery is pretty commonplace nowadays but the return rate is still over a year. Strider tore his UCL while at Clemson in 2019 and had TJ so this won't be anything new to him. This new breed of pitchers is really the ...

Well, it seems we know a Democrat will win the Presidential election of 2040 as well.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. There were quite a few times I thought I caught a fin lurking in the background, but luckily it was so cold we never got much past the sandbar in Huntington. So at least it would have been smaller bites.

Exactly. Forget screwing over Biden, this has always been Bibi’s dream, and nobody appears to be willing to stop him. Much like the US after 9/11. Everyone pittied us and felt solidarity at the first incursions into Afghanistan, but that goodwill quickly evaporated based on our over zealous actions....

SoCal was nice. We ended up in Sunset Beach, across the greenway from the beach. Could stand on the "dune" and watch the kids get into and out of the house while we were on the beach. It was cold and rainy unfortunately, but we still enjoyed ourselves and walks up and down the beach. Boogie boarded ...

I love a stick in the right car. I had an F150 with one and that was just annoying. Mini Cooper, BMW, even my wife's old MazdaSpeed were much more enjoyable with one though.

Sorry, add 2 to the first round for the last two by Mahomes.

I didn't call out every QB, just those from round 6 on back.

Super Bowl Winning QBs by round: Rd 1 - 30 (including Steve Young, USFL) (ie 30 Super Bowls were won by a QB drafted in the 1st round) Rd 2 - 3 Rd 3 - 7 Rd 4 - 1 Rd 5 - 0 Rd 6 - 8 (7 by Brady, Mark Rypien) Rd 7 - 0 - Modern Draft Ends - Rd 8 - 0 Rd 9 - 2 (Unitas & Brad Johnson) Rd 10 - 2 (Staubach) ...
