Saw a bunch of people online trying to defend the hit saying that in real time it was more 'bang-bang' than slow motion made it appear. Come on, man. Al-Shaair was very apologetic yesterday, says he completely understood why the Jags came after him. Meanwhile his coach says "their sideline ove...

Yet another way having children ruins everything.

Either way I think it's accurate to say that Russ has cooked way better than most people's most optimistic predictions.

Anyone can land, you just stop flying.

I used to be terrified of heights in certain contexts. Like on a roof, or near the edge of the road on a steep verge with no guardrail. But planes are fine.

In case you were curious the mug reads

"ME-TA-RU-SHI-TE-I no KYO JIN"

Which - I think - literally translates as....... "Metal City Gigantic Being"? (Steel City Big Guy)

Right on, that's what I was waiting to hear. That is such a fantastic accomplishment, good on ya mate.

Comms are definitely the thing I find most intimidating, in the abstract, about flying.

Does your summary there not indicate he was in possession of drug stuff at the time of his arrest?

Hope you had a good one, eduardo.

The only example that comes to mind of a POTUS pardoning a close family relative was Clinton pardoning his brother's old drug conviction for which he had already served his prison sentence. (I suppose you could count Trump pardoning Kushner's dad as similar)

I want to do those soffit lights for the front of the house and garage facade, too, but we don't have as easy access to AC power out front so it's less of a DIY thing for me. I suppose I could run a jank-ass 50' extension from back-to-front.... Aside from the security aspect it just looks really nic...

Haven't fired up the streaming box yet, but so far the reception seems to be favorable.

New characters, lead the way.

I have become a Govee convert over the last couple years. I have LEDs behind my monitor (that stay fixed on a cool blue), we have two lamps in our living room, two humidifiers.... The plan for next year is to get some Govee stirp lights running around the perimeter of our backyard and along the spar...

We are about to embark on the Battle of Ben Tre of American politics.

Agreed. I'm not even sure why they exist unchecked. I suppose it's to counteract any injustices that may be present in the legal system... But if there are injustices, shouldn't they just be fixed instead? It goes back to the notion that a distressing amount of the power vested in the office of the...

And 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) isn't some obscure statute that is rarely enforced. People get convicted under that statute all the time (mostly for being felons in possession), and that's the federal law that says that felons and people with involuntary mental-health commitments can no longer own guns. As ...

That moral high ground has allowed a person that tried to violently overthrow the government to become president again.

And it's ensured that the Supreme Court is going to lean hard to the right for the next 30+ years.

The answer to that is is not "cede the moral high ground".

If you start doing bad guy things to defeat the bad guys you are no longer the good guys.

Outright pardoning Hunter is an objectively terrible bad act, so I'm not sure why conservatives are crying about it. I thought that was their schtick.

It's totally normal in bedroom communities. I'm not sure who is behind these businesses here (we don't really have an 'off-season' for landscapers) but we start seeing the signs early autumn, often paired with gutter cleaning services. Our outdoor lights are basic enough that I can do it myself in l...

Next up, Sleepy Joe should preemptively pardon Alexander Vindman and Doctor Fauci. You know they will be targeted first thing post Inauguration. You have to accept a pardon, it isn't just given or awarded; you can't be pardoned for something you didn't actually do; you can't be pardoned for somethi...

There's some weird factoid that Biden is the only criminal defendant charged in this history of the relevant statue without any other aggravating offense(s).
