    As a massive cannabis consumer, I can tell you there is no relationship between cannabis consumption and eating well-done steaks with ketchup.  But Heaven help you if you are one of my kid’s lunchbox-sized bag of Fritos at 10:30pm on a weeknight.

    Thank you for this. Have already copied and sent to the wife who was trying to tell me that its "problematic" that I eat my child's school lunch at night when baked.

    I have a bottle of similar pineapple syrup. Also like 1000 mg in a 4 oz bottle. Been sitting in my closet for months as I have no idea what to do with it. Thought about adding some to some sparkling water, but I feel like if my measurements are even slightly off, I'm gonna be crawling inside my head for a few hours.

    Herman is/was an asshole, but does anyone seriously think he gets fired if the EOT stuff never happens. Just having a controversy (made up or otherwise) like that in the public space did as much to kill recruiting momentum as Herman's personality. 

    Irrelevant. Decent chance he would've been sucked out an airplane door at 30k feet anyway.

  3. From out west. Torrance PD is full of racist extremists, and now hundreds of convictions could be overturned:

    Quote

    The caption read “hanging with the homies.”

    The picture above it showed several Black men who had been lynched.

    Another photo asked what someone should do if their girlfriend was having an affair with a Black man. The answer, according to the caption, was to break “a tail light on his car so the police will stop him and shoot him.”

    Someone else sent a picture of a candy cane, a Christmas tree ornament, a star for the top of the tree and an “enslaved person.”

    “Which one doesn’t belong?” the caption asked.

    “You don’t hang the star,” someone wrote back.

    The comments represent a sliver of a trove of racist text messages exchanged by more than a dozen current and former Torrance police officers and recruits.

    Through interviews with sources with direct knowledge of the investigation, public records requests and a review of district attorney’s office records, The Times examined some of the contents of the until-now secret texts and identified a dozen Torrance police officers under investigation for exchanging them.

    The broad scope of the racist text conversations, which prosecutors said went on for years, has created a crisis for the Torrance Police Department and could jeopardize hundreds of criminal cases in which the officers either testified or made arrests. California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said Wednesday his office will investigate the department in the wake of the scandal.

    The officers’ comments spared no color or creed: They joked about “gassing” Jewish people, assaulting members of the LGBTQ community, using violence against suspects and lying during an investigation into a police shooting, according to district attorney’s office records reviewed by The Times.

     

    Quote

    While no officers currently face criminal charges in direct relation to the text messages, the racist exchanges have led to the dismissal of at least 85 criminal cases involving the officers implicated in the scandal. County prosecutors had tossed 35 felony cases as of mid-November, and the Torrance city attorney’s office has dismissed an additional 50, officials said.

    In total, the officers were listed as potential witnesses in nearly 1,400 cases in the last decade, according to district attorney’s records The Times obtained through a public records request. The officers did not necessarily testify in each case, so it’s unclear how many of those cases could be affected.

    I need a pass rusher, plain and simple. All the schemes and player data end up useless if I can't count on one of my edge guys to beat a block and go harass the QB. 

    I mean a Brian Orakpo type. The entire defense knew they only had to hold up a few seconds, because he was gonna get there. 

    This season, offenses could do whatever they liked on 1st and 2nd down, because on 3rd down, the pocket was gonna be clean. Eventually, someone would pop open. A pass rush shouldn't require a blitz, although sadly even our blitzes were almost always picked up and stymied. Out of the entire defensive roster, I need a guy who can be counted on to beat the guy in front of him and get into the backfield.

    Sark?

    This long game has been going on since at least the 50s and is a direct response to FDR, the Dems and the new deal. LBJ scuttled their plans for a time being but they recovered quickly and started the acceleration with Reagan.

    We’re now at it’s zenith where it either gets crushed, or destroys the country and turns it into a putin style oligarchy.

    Why does that bother you?  I don't wear one outside because the science says we don't need to, but WHO GIVES A FUCK what other people do?  Why do you let other people's innocuous actions affect you?  

    You're asking THAT guy why he cares what others do? The guy who has explicitly stated he wants an authoritarian leader to force people to behave in a way he approves of?
