  1. This is an odd trade unless the Seahawks aren’t sure about Geno and would like to see if Howell can do something when he’s not running for his life. Backups don’t cost you a 3rd rounder.
  2. Because he’s about to be the most expensive RB in the league.
  3. This. we just need to start DST later in the spring. A lot of people do not realize how close to our monkey ancestors we are when it comes to daylight. Anyone who has lived through a multi day power outage, and starts going to bed at dark knows what I mean. Humans are not physically or mentally equipped to handle rapid time zone changes. And that’s functionally what we all just experienced.
  4. Jesus Christ, they sell heated socks and hand warmers at the Costco. This isn’t rocket surgery.
  5. In the least, Spring forward should go back to the beginning of April so it doesn't feel like flying across 3-4 time zones.
  6. A few years ago, the Senate approved a permanent move to DST by voice vote, but it never moved in the House. The bill was sponsored by the FL delegation, which as the eastern most southern state and a state that lives and dies off beach tourism, benefits the most from permanent DST. The problem is large swaths of the nation wouldn't see sunrises until well after 8 and sometimes 9 in the morning. WHich is why virtually every scientist recommends Standard, not DST as the year around time. While it's fun to have sunlight late in the evening, from a practical perspective as humans that evolved to wake with the sun and sleep with the night, we need more morning light, not less. It's why your dog is also so miserable: they have evolved to rise and sleep with us and it's very hard on them. Fun fact: in 2005, Congress extended DST by 4 weeks. For the last two ish decades it's started 3 weeks earlier in the spring and a week later in the fall. That's part of the reason it feels so damn severe for most of us: The diurnal shock is much more aggressive than it used to be, when it was mostly about getting an extra hour at the bar in the fall.

    But that's basically it, while they are printing cash for Andy Cohen.

    They pay absolute shit, according to Eddie.
  9. Meh. She’s in the middle of the road with the flat armadillos. What exactly does she bring to the table other than the title of United States Senator? If I’m a Democrat I hate here, if I’m a GOP I don’t trust her, since she mostly played the role of useful idiot. Her life is somewhere out side of DC. She has no value to anyone here. She’s Joe Liebermann in drag.
  10. We will see if they ever actually end up buying those planes, or their just trying to goose Airbus into moving them up in line for deliveries. American already flies lots of Airbus and must be moving to Embraer (which I love flying on for regional jumps) to get rid of those awful Bombardiers.
  11. Also: Like The Great Escape and Stalag 17 exist, you don't need to spend a lot of time on the prison camp element. I guess you could make it darker and more death-y, but that's a pretty well worn path in American Cinema.
  12. My only complaint is I wish they had introduced the struggles of the escort pilots sooner. Trying to dogfight in a plane that can get to Berlin, but will kill the pilot if you dive (P-38), or trying to dogfight in a plane that can mostly go toe to toe with a BF-109 and FW-190, but is on fumes (and couldn't climb) trying to get to and from the bomb site (P-47). Everyone remembers the salad days of late 1944 when P-51s scoured the skies clean, but those early pilots in late 1943 were fighting both the machines they were flying and the Germans, while desperately trying to keep the B-17s in the air.
  13. What part of 100 years of Hollywood shoving something down your throat until you want to puke are you confused by?
  14. Loved it, but as somebody who went to school in New England and has had mental health issues in my family, it punched me in the chest for sure. Will become a Christmas staple.
  15. So here’s a question for the Surly Law Dogs: when he inevitably starts running out of money, how does a court break out the paternity payments? Is it like bankruptcy where there are senior and junior debt holders?
  16. Man, speaking of Dusty TV moments, In Excelsis Deo is up there:
  17. Well, shit, if we are going to do ER, we might as well full send an ugly cry:
  18. I still think they are favorites to take the majority. I just don’t think he wants to deal with Trump’s shit. Also, it gives him the the space to cut deals in the lame duck if Trump wins (like repealing/modifying the insurrection act)
  19. That's my take. If he had shown the stones to convict Trump during the second impeachment, they could have barred him from running for office. Trump destroys everyone who tries to help him eventually.
  20. I know I've been on a Miami Vice kick lately....
  21. It's a flawed film, definitely not one of Mann's best, but once you start seeing Miami Vice as tone poem about a doomed romance and not a cops/drug dealers movie, it becomes a crazy rewatchable film. The cold opening into "Numb Encore" slams, goes very hard: As to greatest scenes ever.....well, what's in the box:
  22. I'm not so sure I agree 100% with your policework there Lou.. According to NASA, she's about 22.5 hours light time away, or 15 billion miles. Give or Take. A light year is 6 trillion miles (again, approximate). That's .25% of a light year, not 25%. Voyager is the fastest moving man made object in history @ 38,000 mph, for 46 years, and she's not even a light day away. As a species, we aren't getting out of this solar system anytime soon.
  23. Daddy Jpow for weeks: "I'm not cutting in March. Maybe not even in June." Wall Street after inflation comes in barely above predictions "HOLY SHIT, I DON"T THINK THERE"S GONNA BE A RATE CUT!!!!!!"
