  1. any of y'all ever seen a Martin electric in the wild? I have not.

  3. I've never been happier to be in California. At least my state will protect me. Y'all in Texas need to prepare your collective anus. my favorite excerpt: The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that you have to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. You haven't done so. Aren’t you disobeying the Supreme Court? Well, that’s not what my people told me—they didn’t say it was, they said it was—the nine to nothing was something entirely different. Let me quote from the ruling. “The order properly requires the government to facilitate Aboriginal Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador.” Are you facilitating a release? I leave that to my lawyers. I give them no instructions. They feel that the order said something very much different from what you're saying. But I leave that to my lawyers. If they want—and that would be the Attorney General of the United States and the people that represent the country. I don't make that decision.
  4. bring along a sack of flour
  5. Thank God we have an "adult" around to issue pardons to fraudsters President Donald Trump has issued a full and unconditional pardon for a former Las Vegas City Councilwoman just weeks before she was scheduled for sentencing on multiple federal fraud convictions. Michele Fiore was convicted in October of last year of six counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. A federal jury found that Fiore solicited donations she said would go toward a memorial statue honoring slain Las Vegas police officers but used the funds for, among other things, plastic surgery. Fiore also used the donation funds to pay for her basic living expenses and to fund her daughter’s wedding, according to KLAS-TV. The pardon, which was signed on Wednesday, was revealed in a court filing shortly after she announced it in a Facebook post on Thursday. “Today, I stand before you — not just as a free woman, but as a vindicated soul,” Fiore wrote. That post was later taken down, but it was archived by The Nevada Independent. Fiore had been scheduled to be sentenced on May 14. Each count of wire fraud carried a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison. The criminal case stemmed from Fiore’s fundraising efforts in 2019 and 2020 for a statue to honor Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo, who were killed in the line of duty in 2014. Federal prosecutors said Fiore told donors, including then-Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, Nevada’s current Republican governor, that the money would fund the statue. Court records showed a private development firm actually paid for the statue. Prosecutors presented evidence that none of the donations Fiore raised went toward the project. Jurors deliberated for less than two hours following an eight-day trial at the federal courthouse in Las Vegas.
  6. Oh, Larry gets worse than that.
  7. yeah, I've mentioned before that they were selling the seats at NRT and I saw more than one person carry one on the plane.
  8. so, folks on this thread that don't pay attention to baseball may not know that the Dodgers have signed quite a few Japanese players, Shohei Ohtani being the most notable. So, of course they are getting new toilets in the locker room.
  9. You guys on the sale side ever have this problem? I'm taking a listing, I spend a ton of time looking for comps, fund about a dozen good ones, adjust them all vs. the subject, average the pricing, and then come up with a sales price for the subject and say to yourself "there's no fucking way that this house is worth 1.1 million" even though you can show your work?
  10. Cubs win again!
  11. that's interesting man.
  12. just replaced 20 feet of sewer line. This old house has a really shitty product called Orangeburg. I've replaced most of it, but there's more to go. If I knew how to post pics here, I would. The root intrusion was unbelievable
  13. as to the Battle of Midway, the Yorktown was carrying... a '41 Ford Woody wagon??? They don't know if it was Jack Fletcher's or Buckmaster's. https://www.foxweather.com/earth-space/uss-yorktown-vintage-car-found-papahanaumokuakea-pacific-hawaii
  14. The fact that you think you are extremely flawed...well, if you believe that you're probably a much better person than you think you are. I thought the same...then I made a construction loan to a couple of 'em.
