  1. My wife prefers an early name that came up for Gen Z -- the iGen. They are the first generation that grew up with smartphones available their entire conscious lives. Like, I remember my daughter at 3 yrs old, who was terrified of thunderstorms; we'd hear a rumble of thunder, and she'd grab my Blackberry that I had back then and say "daddy, please look at the radar" (a radar and tide chart app were some of the first apps I ever had on that old device). I'd pull it up, and we'd see if the weather was heading our way. The point is, she assumed that all necessary information was available in your pocket from her earliest days. That's an entirely different way of existing and thinking of the world, and theirs is the first generation that didn't know of a world that was any other way. Anthropologically, it's fascinating. And a bit terrifying.
  2. Hey Boebert. It's because Trump is the criminal defendant. He's the one on trial. That's why. But if y'all would like to talk for awhile about gagging her too, that would be ok with me.
  3. That's going to be the major issue. That and the weight of the old cars are going to be the issue. You'll need a lot of power to make a 1968 Camaro or even more so for the vans pictured above. That means a lot of battery. Oh.. and while I was surfing cars I concluded that for $80k I could buy a Nissan Leaf AND a Ford Ranger Raptor/Toyota Tacoma TRD/Chevy Colorado ZR2. And if you're super worried about the environment, the Ford Maverick Hybrid (despite lotsa recall issues) is a more capable "truck" for sub $50k. So... a fully functional electric and a vehicle that can legitimately off road which is faster than you ever need to go, legally. Not only that, but any option is car wash safe. I know where I'd put my money.
  4. Not sure I'd be laughing... maybe cleaning out my shorts.
  5. Gametime: Thursday morning After a brief break, the prosecutors are arguing that Todd Blanche, early in his questioning, asked questions that seemed to suggest that Trump's indictment was still sealed on March 30. The indictment was unsealed that evening, after The Times broke the news. The unsealing allowed the district attorney’s office to confirm that this news, of incredible public interest, was true. Prosecutors ask Justice Merchan to explain this sequence to the jury. Merchan agrees that the jury should be advised, and that the question is how he should do so. He decides that Blanche can do it in his own questioning. But one of the prosecutors, Matthew Colangelo — urged on by another prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, who is whispering loudly to him — says that it it should come from Merchan because the questions were misleading. Merchan tells prosecutors that they can draft a version of an order that the judge himself would give if Blanche’s corrections end up being insufficient. Earlier in his testimony, Michael Cohen made Robert Costello, a lawyer who approached him in 2018 when Cohen was under investigation, sound as though he were an emissary from the Trump team, seeking to keep Cohen loyal to the president. Blanche just sought to complicate that picture, asking Cohen if Costello told him he had the option to cooperate with law enforcement instead. Cohen's reponse to this was not clear. Our reporting shows that Costello’s role was complex, and that Cohen did accept legal advice from him during that time. We’re coming up on about an hour and 45 minutes of cross-examination this morning. We're near the time that Trump’s surrogates have typically been going outside to speak to the public, slamming the case and trial. A key question the jurors will have to answer for themselves is on what date — if at all — they believe Michael Cohen began telling the truth. Was it this week, when he started testifying in this case? Or before then? Todd Blanche is demonstrating that Cohen told lies, big and small, over a long period of time and for various reasons. At the same time, prosecutors have and will demonstrate in closing arguments that Trump has told lies, big and small, about a number of people and issues in this case. Jurors might also need to consider a more philosophical question: can a liar sometimes tell the truth? Michael Cohen appears less sad now, and he seems to be fighting back a bit. He tries to explain the disparity Todd Blanche has been harping on involving whether he sought a pardon. Cohen says a pardon was dangled, and he asked his lawyers, “Is this really something that they’re talking about? Can you find out?” But Blanche, using a quiet voice, is continuing to focus on what he says were Cohen’s lies about this episode. Blanche may have successfully made Cohen come across as dishonest. But he has yet to succeed in the goal of getting under Cohen’s skin. Todd Blanche seems to have seized on another lie: Michael Cohen had testified years ago that he had never asked for a pardon, but testifies here today — as he did in a deposition — that he did, in fact, direct his lawyers to explore the possibility of a pardon. Trump squinted as Cohen as he answered questions about the pardon and shook his head a bit at Cohen’s response. Blanche says that Cohen has explained the distance between the two statements in different ways. At one point, under oath, he said that he had not explored a pardon, his lawyers had. At another point, also apparently under oath, he said that that the seeming disparity stemmed from a semantic distinction between the past and present tenses. Blanche is pushing Cohen on whether he played semantics about whether he sought a pardon from Trump or not. Cohen admits he asked his lawyers to explore the possibility, although he testified before a House panel that he would never have accepted one. Cohen points out — correctly, as we broke the story — that Trump was dangling pardons to people connected to the special counsel's investigation into the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia. Todd Blanche is now going over the complex financial transactions that allowed Michael Cohen to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels, perhaps the closest he’s gotten to the subject matter of this particular case all day. He notes that Cohen hid those transactions from his wife, apparently seeking to call into question whether Cohen was really as concerned about his family — and his wife — as he suggested when explaining his federal guilty plea. Blanche just asked Cohen about a number of different events, including an exchange of public statements with Michael Avenatti, one of Stormy Daniels's lawyers, and conversations with his wife. He ended by asking Cohen if he had deleted his communications with his wife around that time, and Cohen seemed genuinely stumped. Then Blanche asks if Cohen, around this time, had taken to deleting his texts more generally. The defense is trying to suggest that Cohen has a history of manipulating the types of phone records that prosecutors have used here to bolster their case. This line of questioning also has the effect of reinforcing that Cohen has been routinely deceptive and focused on concealment. Throughout his cross-examination today, Michael Cohen has remained even-keeled on the witness stand. He appeared mildly frustrated a few moments ago and just shook his head after he answered one of Todd Blanche’s most recent questions. He notes that Cohen hid those transactions from his wife, apparently seeking to call into question whether Cohen was really as concerned about his family — and his wife — as he suggested when explaining his federal guilty plea. And as expected, Todd Blanche moves to connect Michael Cohen having lied in his federal sentencing, when the outcome affected him personally, to his testimony here. “Do you have any doubt in your mind that the outcome of this trial affects you personally?” Blanche asks. Todd Blanche is dragging out of Michael Cohen a lack of remorse. Cohen has talked publicly about wanting to right the wrongs he committed while working for Trump. Blanche is getting him to acknowledge he doesn’t think he should have been charged. Blanche asks Cohen about blaming a lot of people for the conduct for which he was convicted. Cohen freely acknowledges he has. Tension was missing from Todd Blanche’s questioning of Cohen on Tuesday. But here, today, the room feels tense to me. This is a compelling question-and-answer session, and the jurors appear to be responding, paying close attention. So many House Republicans have gone to New York to support Trump at his trial that it’s gumming up the works for G.O.P. priorities on Capitol Hill, including some of their most partisan plans. With Representatives Andy Biggs of Arizona and Anna Paulina Luna and Mike Waltz of Florida all at the trial, the House Oversight Committee has been forced to postpone its planned vote to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. Today’s vote has been pushed back from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. to allow members to return to Washington from New York. Todd Blanche is now demonstrating for the jury that Michael Cohen lied under oath for different reasons. By his own admission, it wasn’t only to demonstrate his loyalty to Trump. He lied also, Cohen admits, because the stakes affected him personally. As Blanche continues to hammer home what Cohen says were his lies to a federal judge, a prosecutor objects several times. The judge sustains the objections. The objections may have been made because Blanche had already asked a version of the same questions. That admission could cause some problems for the prosecution. Blanche has already shown vividly through Cohen's podcast clips that this case affects Cohen in a deeply personal way and that he’s desperate for revenge against Trump. This may cause jurors to wonder whether Cohen might be willing to stretch the truth to get it. Todd Blanche continues to press his complicated point, about what Michael Cohen has said about his previous guilty pleas. Blanche notes that Cohen was asked if he lied because the stakes affected him personally. Cohen says yes. Blanche then asks if that is still true. Cohen says yes, again, but his voice breaks a little. He looks tired, and shifts his body briefly on the stand. His voice sounds husky. One — or several — falsehoods under oath can last a lifetime. Blanche is taking what Cohen has said were lies to a federal judge and seeking to impeach the other testimony he has given under oath, including to Congress. And of course, he seems likely to move on to trying to impeach Cohen's testimony at this trial soon. Todd Blanche has now, on a couple of occasions, listened as Michael Cohen has explained, in long form, some of his prior actions, before asking him, sharply, if he was “finished.” Finally, he seems to get annoyed with Cohen, and snaps, “Please don’t make a speech.” Michael Cohen is a disbarred lawyer, and he does not always speak precisely, as lawyers are trained to do. Todd Blanche took advantage of that throughout this most recent line of questioning. Now, he finally arrives at the moment that prosecutors sought to prepare this jury for: That Cohen said under oath at Trump's civil fraud trial that he had lied to a federal judge. It’s unclear whether prosecutors’ attempt will stay in the jurors’ heads, or whether they’ll find this convincing. This could be compelling — or confusing. It's really hard to know how jurors, including the two lawyers on the panel, are taking it. They look engaged, but there are no other obvious signs of the impression Blanche is making right now. Todd Blanche is using Michael Cohen’s sweeping claims of widespread corruption — in which Cohen has accused not just Manhattan federal prosecutors but the judge in his case of being out to get him — against him. He is also using his previous testimony that he didn’t commit the crimes to which he pleaded against him. Todd Blanche is seeking to show the jury that Michael Cohen has not fully taken responsibility for his crimes and still blames a range of people, quite implausibly, for being corrupt. The irony is that by showing that Cohen lashing out at the judge and prosecutors, Blanche is making him sound a lot like his former boss, and Blanche’s current client, Donald Trump. This is a delicate moment for Michael Cohen, and the prosecution. This case largely rests on Cohen tying Trump to knowledge of how the false business records at the center of the case were structured. Todd Blanche is creating a portrait of Cohen as an indiscriminate liar who changes his story situationally. Todd Blanche is now focusing on Michael Cohen’s guilty plea in August 2018, and gets Cohen to say that he “never denied the underlying facts” of the plea, and that he simply thought he shouldn’t have been charged. Blanche then asks if prosecutors pressured him to plead guilty, and Cohen says his lawyer conveyed that he had only 48 hours to decide. Blanche uses the language of the law. When Cohen pleaded, he was asked whether anyone had “threatened or induced you to plead guilty.” Blanche links that to Cohen saying his lawyer told him his wife was under threat, and suggests that when Cohen said no to that question, he lied. Cohen agrees that he did. Blanche is now gaining some steam with his cross-examination, noting that Cohen has said under oath that he accepted responsibility and then later undermined that outside of court. This is very similar to what tripped Cohen up when he was questioned about his federal guilty pleas at Trump’s civil fraud trial. He was led into saying he had lied about one of the pleas itself. But earlier in the trial he clarified that he thought he had not been charged, but was not objecting to the underlying facts. Ever since, Trump’s lawyers have accused Cohen of perjury in that moment. Todd Blanche is now asking about the F.B.I. search of Michael Cohen’s phones and his apartment, hotel room and office in April 2018, and the investigation into taxi medallions that Cohen had. Cohen walks through his partnership with a man who cooperated with the investigation, coherently. The jurors are paying close attention to Cohen right now. Cohen is coming across as knowledgeable and articulate about the arcane corners of the New York City taxi industry. He even provided what he said was the exact number of the medallions that allow taxis to operate here. This is a strange and seemingly irrelevant cul-de-sac, as Blanche invites Cohen to explain how the taxi medallion business works. The question in my mind listening to this right now is: Why do I care? Blanche is hopefully building to some questions about the actual case at hand. Part of Todd Blanche's strategy seems to be repeating the word “lie” in every other sentence. If you’re a bored juror right now, you are hearing lie, lie, lie, lie. Even if you’re having trouble following the substance of Cohen's various lies, you are hearing an overall picture of dishonesty. The risk for the defense here is that the jurors are reminded during closing arguments that Trump hired this self-acknowledged liar and made him his lawyer, and hold Trump accountable for that. So far today, Todd Blanche has yet to ask Michael Cohen about anything in connection to the actual case that's on trial. Trump's lawyers have focused on impeaching the credibility of the prosecution's two biggest witnesses, Stormy Daniels and Cohen. Susan Necheles’s cross-examination of Daniels was largely focused and had an arc. Blanche’s cross-examination of Cohen has been all over the place. Todd Blanche is now having Michael Cohen recall the lies he told to Congress about how many times he spoke to Trump about a possible Trump Tower project in Moscow. Blanche’s goal is to show the jury Cohen is opportunistic even under oath. However, these were lies that Cohen has said he told to protect Trump. Even though Cohen has said he was lying to protect Trump, that’s not what Blanche is focused on here. “You knew you were lying, correct?” Blanche says. “Yes,” Cohen responds. Todd Blanche, referring to Michael Cohen’s many instances of testifying in the past, in courts and in Congress, asks him if he swore an oath when he testified. It seems as if Blanche is warming up to call Cohen’s past testimony into question, in hopes of casting doubt on his testimony at this trial. Trump’s lawyers have accused Cohen of lying under oath, as recently as in Trump’s civil fraud trial late last year. Prosecutors had done a kind of controlled-burn of this territory on Tuesday, walking Cohen through many of his previous lies. Michael Cohen is asked if he responded to a post on Truth Social, Trump's social media platform, in which Trump attacked Cohen and Stormy Daniels. He responds: “I’m not on Truth Social, sir.” But when asked if he responded elsewhere by calling Trump “dumbass Donald,” he agrees that he did. Keep in mind that the prosecution used earlier witnesses to introduce Michael Cohen to the jury as an outsized personality. And Cohen has not been shy on the stand about his hatred of Trump. These clips, while entertaining, might not come as a huge shock to the jury. While the clips may not shock the jury, they do underscore why prosecutors repeatedly implored Cohen to stop talking before — and during — the trial. Todd Blanche asks Michael Cohen if he believes his podcasts and media interviews played a role in Trump's indictment. “I took some credit, yes,” he says Unlike on Tuesday, when Trump had his eyes closed and appeared to be dozing through much of Cohen's cross-examination, he is now paying close attention, as clips play of Cohen describing how much he hates Trump and wants him to rot in prison. Todd Blanche plays a second clip of Michael Cohen from his podcast, in which he says he hopes “that this man ends up in prison,” and “revenge is a dish best served cold,” and “you better believe I want this man to go down and rot inside for what he did to me and my family.” Cohen's New York accent — he is from the Five Towns, on Long Island — is very pronounced in the podcast clips. Michael Cohen’s voice sounded truly bizarre in that podcast clip celebrating Trump's indictment on March 30 last year. Giddy, high-pitched, and he was speaking so fast that if you didn’t know better you’d think the tape had been artificially sped up. It also offered jurors a completely different version of the Cohen they are seeing on the witness stand, where he has remained calm and deliberate with every word. We are now hearing a recording of Michael Cohen celebrating Trump's indictment on his podcast. His voice is loud, over-energized, enthusiastic to the point of seeming off-putting. Some of the jurors peered up at Cohen, almost seeming a little embarrassed. Cohen’s face sinks as he hears that clip of his voice. Blanche asks him if that was the first time that he had said he wanted Trump to feel what Cohen himself had felt when he was prosecuted. Cohen says that he had expressed that sentiment before. In the overflow room, laughter is heard as Justice Merchan shoots down Todd Blanche, Trump’s lawyer. Blanche asked for a sidebar and got a dismissive “no” from Merchan. We’ve now had 10 objections in less than 20 minutes. Todd Blanche began questioning Michael Cohen about his texts with an investigator with the Manhattan district attorney's office, Jeremy Rosenberg, who was reportedly suspended for his interactions with Cohen. Blanche was going to ask Cohen about those texts, but Susan Hoffinger, one of the prosecutors, stood up and asked for a mid-cross voir dire, so she could question Cohen about the evidence in the middle of his cross-examination. When she established that the texts had been taken out of context, she called for a sidebar. Her objection was sustained, so Blanche may be prevented from doing what he was trying to do with these texts. Now, he’s starting another attempt. Cohen says that he learned that Trump was indicted before the indictment was unsealed in the courtroom, when The New York Times broke that news in 2023. He says Rosenberg alerted him to that article. A team of six reporters broke that story. Five of us are covering the trial for The Times: Kate Christobek, Ben Protess, Willy Rashbaum, Nate Schweber and me. Blanche’s point here seems to be that Rosenberg, the investigator, did something inappropriate, alerting Cohen to the fact that the indictment had been handed up. But we broke that news widely before the indictment was unsealed; Cohen was certainly not alone in having learned it. For those of you keeping score at home, we’re now on our third sidebar already. The jurors, who have been attending this trial since the week of April 15, are staring ahead or out into the courtroom during the latest sidebar. On Tuesday, as Blanche delivered a fairly meandering cross-examination of Cohen, they started to seem bored. Todd Blanche, leading the cross-examination for the defense, came out of the gate firing on Tuesday, with a furious accusation — involving a profane insult he said Cohen had directed at him online. (The prosecution objected and it was sustained.) Today, in the early going, he is much less intense. We just got a hint as to what the long sidebar may have been about: scheduling issues. The judge just told the jurors that, if they are OK with it, court may be in session next Wednesday, despite the fact that the trial is usually off on Wednesdays. This suggests that the prosecutors and the defense were quibbling over the calendar. The defense sought to delay the trial many times before it started, and Trump has complained that it was going too fast. Michael Cohen has been called back to the stand. He ambles past the defense table, as we wait for the jury to be brought in. A very long sidebar is finally over. We do not know what it was about, but the jurors were summoned almost 18 minutes late this morning. When the transcript is sent later in the day, we'll find out what was discussed. Trump’s lead lawyer, Todd Blanche, leans over after the sidebar and whispers something to the former president, covering up his mouth so no one can see his lips move. Trump nods once at the end of their short conversation. Outside in the hallway, before entering the courtroom, Trump seemed to potentially violate the gag order that forbids him from talking about prosecutors in the case, other than Alvin Bragg. He made what sounded like a reference to Matthew Colangelo, one of the prosecutors here, saying, “a lead person from the D.O.J. is running the trial,” and baselessly adding, “So Biden’s office is running this trial.” Colangelo used to work at the Department of Justice, and Trump has used similar language to describe him in the past. It’s not clear, given what Trump said, that prosecutors would be able to show that it was a clear violation of his gag order. We will watch to see whether they seek to push the issue. Justice Merchan has warned Trump that he could go to jail if he violates the order again, but he is unlikely to act unless prosecutors press him on the matter. The lawyers and the judge are having one of the longest sidebars that have taken place during this trial, if not the longest. Their voices are louder than usual, though the words they're saying aren't clear. Although Trump has a large group of supporters sitting behind him, he is nearly alone at the defense table as most of his lawyers participate in the sidebar. Susan Necheles, the longest-serving lawyer on his team, is at the table but seated at a distance from him. The overflow courtroom down the hall from the courtroom where the trial is taking place is at capacity, every seat taken. As the trial moves towards its conclusion, interest seems to be peaking. Court officers are currently explaining, yet again, the courtroom's no-cellphone policy to the people here with Trump.
  6. I'd still rather have an M249, which this replaced. I know they tested the hell out of this, but what was the reasoning to go away from a belt-fed, high capacity option to what is essentially a service rifle with a fancy scope on it? The corps going full circle back to the Soviet SVD rifle school of thought? More accurate suppressing fire? I read that the M27 is a piston operated system, meaning gases and residue are ejected out of the operating system, so it in theory can sustain fire for much longer than a standard M4.....so just give everyone M27's?
  7. Where's Barbara Billingsley when you need her?
  8. Amanda's voice makes her sound like the least interesting person on the planet.
  9. If I were her, I'd have that hanging my house! Right over the fireplace.
  10. Such a garbage take and you know it. There is a world of difference between someone with a job leaving behind a flyer, on each house of the block and an angry person in a mask showing up specifically to an individual’s house to target them over politics. It’s harassment and intimidation tactics and making a “we know where you live” point. ”Her boyfriend calls her late at night and says he loves her and that they’ll always be together. She loves it when he drops by her work for a kiss or to drop off a latte. But when I call her at midnight from an unknown number and tell her I love her or show up unannounced and ask to see her at work, all of a sudden the police give me a restraining order. But it’s the SAME THING, she’s being overly dramatic.” You’ve just decided you sympathize with these people and nothing can ever be more than “misguided” on their part.
  11. Why are you posting pictures of Sofía Vergara and why did she die her hair pink?
  12. I just watched the documentary "Chop and Steele" on Tubi. I know, I know ... commercials suck but one of my friends told me about it and said it was one of the funniest movies he's ever seen and Tubi is the only place to watch it right now. Holy cow there were moments when I was roaring, I mean on the verge of peeing my pants, with laughter. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe and thought I might crack a rib. It's about two guys who've made a life of pranking people and who invent a strongman act that is absolute nonsense, then get morning shows on TV stations across America to invite them on to demonstrate their act. My Lord the results are spectacular. They end up getting sued by a media conglomerate. I won't tell you how the lawsuit ends or what happens when they actually make it to America's Got Talent but it's surreal and meta and it slams hard. Directed by Austin's Ben Steinhauer, who directed Winnebago Man if you've ever seen that. Anyway, it's got a 100% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. My favorite review is the NPR critic who says "Hysterically funny, wonderful, and really terrible." https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chop_and_steele/reviews
  13. If the reliability was even average I'd have some interest. In reality the only version that truly piques my interest is the Raptor, but it's powered by a twin turbo V6 (just asking for trouble) instead of the V8 it should have. Hard pass. I thought Ford became a lot more dependable over the last 20 years? Everything in the late 90’s early 2000’s was shit but I’ve heard it’s much better. Not enough for me to buy one after my first couple cars being Ford’s that were total lemons though.
  14. I never read the book but distinctly recall reading the very long piece by the NYTimes and other reviews/essays about it, which included extensive quotes, including at least a couple of the ones you just provided. And, yes, the quote sounds exactly like something he'd say. Living in Austin during the Bush presidency was a trip, especially his first term, because so many of his people still lived here and you'd see them out and about sometimes, For example, once I had to sit across the aisle from the Turd Blossom himself on a Southwest flight (I think to Dallas). You could just feel the twisted vibes coming off him while he had his nose buried intently in a bunch of papers, likely conniving some strategy to disenfranchise more Blacks in Cleveland or to discredit John Kerry. There was also a time when my ex-wife, my 4 or 5-year-old daughter, and I were grocery shopping. I think my wife was over in the produce section while the kid and I were in the deli section when we ran across Karen Hughes. She was squatting down, inspecting some cheese, and my daughter saw me stop and just stand there, scowling at the back of Karen's head. My daughter asked me what was wrong, and I told her that Karen was a very bad person. After that, my daughter ran off to go find my ex, to whom she frantically said, "Mommy! There's an evil old woman over there trying to steal cheese!"

  16. https://www.newsweek.com/i-am-sure-trump-going-get-wind-twitter-bans-laura-loomer-far-right-activist-1227218 That's kind of light on the tweet that got her banned, she specifically said: That kind of direct attack on someone had never been kosher on Twitter. He wasn't permanently banned, his account was reinstated a week later. Calling someone an asswipe, piece of shit, asshole and motherfucking evil creature person is a problem? Didn't realize you were such a delicate snowflake, given the speech you are defending.
  17. Anyone going to Comicpalooza in a couple weeks in Houston? Found out Martha Wells (Murderbot Diaries) will be there and figured I'd check it out. First time going.
  18. Same boat, very similar to you. Over the last year or so I'd gone from around 210 to 180. I wasn't sure why. I attributed it to intermittent fasting and not eating as much, but it really didn't make much sense as I was not eating very healthy and drinking a ton of soft drinks. Finally got around to going to the doctor and had some blood work done. Mystery solved, I was well into type 2 diabetus with an A1C of 11.2 and blood sugar around 300 and triglycerides off the chart at >400. I got caught in a vicious circle. The diabetes would make me thirsty, which would cause me to drink a coke, which would make me more thirsty. The other sign was having to pee about 10 times a day. Dropped from 4-5 cokes a day to 1 every 2-3 days, switched to sparkling water, fast food several times a week to once a week, sandwiches from several a week to once every two weeks, pizza weekly to once a month, and pasta multiple times a week to none, breakfast sandwiches and tacos to eggs and meat, lunch from crap to a salad most days. I also got on medicine for the triglycerides and blood sugar. In a month my blood sugar dropped from 300 to 111, triglycerides from off chart to 202 (<150 is good), A1C from 11.2 to 9. (It's a 3 month average so will take another month or two to get down), down to peeing 3-4 times a day and dropped 4 pounds to 176, which at 6'2 seems like a good weight. Going to start some exercise of some sort to help push the sugar, tri and good cholesterol in the right direction. If you've lost some unexpected weight, are thirsty all the time, and peeing more often than usual you should get your blood checked and make sure you're not on a bad path. My ex-MIL just ignored the signs for years and ended up losing toes and was about to lose a foot but died before she did. Main culprit is carbs. Get a food tracker like MyFitnessPal and keep below 40 carbs per meal and around 100 per day and you should be moving in the right direction.
  19. Are you getting him/her from a breeder in Livingston? If so, I can give you the breeder's phone number. She has been breeding and showing them in competitions for 17 years. They are high energy, loyal, smart, stubborn, learn fast, beautiful, great with kids and very much own the name, "Velcro Dog." Here is what the AKC says about them: https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/vizsla/
  20. I would assume it's fully Kate assembling her young NY avengers group.
  21. There's no help for these people. I have anti-vaxxers among friends/family who actually knew a friend's parents, one of whom had polio as a kid, and had to wear braces on her legs her whole life, and is now in a wheel chair, and they still deny that vaccines are helpful. Pointing it out to them doesn't matter, they pull the "well humanity made it through polio without the so-called vaccines just fine". None of these people like to do the research, even though it's easy as hell to do. Doesn't matter whether it's bullshit school conspiracy theories like that lady believed, or the earth is flat or Apollo 11 was staged. If some libtard claims something, they automatically take a stance against it.
  22. Nah, HS is as far as I got, and I'm only half serious with the 'ban it all' thing. Like you say, it's a stupid rule that's impossible for the pitchers to avoid completely, and it's being enforced very subjectively and not consistently afaik. I'd have zero problem if they keep rosin legal.
