  1. Without knowing how much we're spending on each guy, I'm pretty much with you except that Kenedy should stay on loan and Cahill should go.  We can get leadership in the back from Azpi and it seems like Rudiger is starting to step into a leadership role.  Depending on their salaries and what we can get, I'd consider selling Barkley and Pedro.

    It means that team team has indicated that they do not intend to be gracious guests.  Sending 4-10 players is not behaving graciously.  It's insulting.

    It must be a weird world that you live in where part of a team declining an invitation in reaction to a host's sexist and racist comments indicates that the part of the team that accepts the invitation intend not to be gracious guests.   As is stated above, he could have welcomed the individuals on the team who are willing to come since there is no indication that they would not have been gracious guests.  He could also have not lied about the reason he cancelled the event.  But, he's an insecure pussy and a serial liar, so that's what we get.

    As a big supporter of the free enterprise system I fully support the owner's right to run the team as they see fit.  They can decide to support the players or produce a product for fans like me who want a show of respect for the flag and the anthem to be part of the product they sell.  If they don't provide a product I like I won't buy it, but I don't think they are obligated to provide a product I want.  The behavior of the players is between them and the owners.

    Trump doesn't have any obligation to host the players at the White House, particularly if they don't plan to be gracious guests.  Trump did the thing which was in his interests, as he should.

    This wasn't an issue of them being gracious guests.  It was an issue that most of the team wasn't planning to go, so Trump is pulling the "Nuh uh, I broke up with you; you didn't break up with me" card.  He's just being a thin skinned little pussy, like always.

  4. Perhaps a dumb question, but how do I get the evidence packet.  The FAQ on the TCAD website says there should be a check box on the protest form, but when I look at the protest form there isn't a check box for receiving the evidence packet.  

  5. There's a great bikers vs. drivers argument currently ongoing on my Nexdoor because some lady had to move into the left lane to get around two bikers who were riding in the right lane on Jollyville.

    Anything negative is fake. That’s not scary at all Coming from the President.

     

    And also anyone reporting anything negative about the President should lose their credentials.  That seems safe.  But at least the Tahoes of the world can be happy that the president isn't black.

    Just a theory.  He could be on Titan, but by tearing a moon from orbit and bringing it down on Stark and company, he's effectively killed the planet.  In the comics, the soul stone houses a pocket dimension where the souls it's gathered can live in tranquility.  We believe the stone has gathered Gamora's soul and therefore we see him watching a sunrise with Gamora as a child, which he explained earlier was his desire after he completed his "solution".  He's able to find his best place by going into the Soul stone's pocket dimension to be with the only person he's ever really loved and in the way he loved her most..... It would also help explain the color of the entire scene, which most will attribute to the sunrise but golden is the soul stone.

    That's an interesting theory.  But it would mean the infinity gauntlet is just lying around somewhere.  Or I suppose it could get real out there and he sacrificed himself to the soul stone on Vormir in order to join Gamora.

    Pretty much anything Mueller subpoena's him for he can claim executive privilege.  He also doesn't necessarily have to fire Mueller to stop it.  Courts could rule against Mueller.  Let's say Mueller tells the court he needs Trump to answer these questions because he is investigating Trump for obstruction of justice.  Trump's lawyers could then demand Mueller tell them what justice Trump is obstructing.   In other words obstruction of justice means covering up or destroying evidence of a crime or of an attempted crime.  So far Mueller has not charged Trump with a crime.  If there is no crime then there is no obstruction of justice.  If Mueller can not prove he has sufficient evidence of a crime to begin with the courts can rule that he has no case for obstruction of justice and allow Trump's refusal.

    This is not true.  Stop saying it.

    Fuck letting anyone else select my produce. Or meat. Or milk. 

    This.  Also, it gives me a chance to go by the beer aisle and check to see if they have anything new I'm interested in.

    Depends a bit what you mean by High-end. All the best restaurants are pretty unassuming and casual. Many are also pretty moderately priced.  Manny's is great but it's a steakhouse. Murrays is good, but also a Steakhouse.  I enjoy both but I know when I visit a new city I want a meal I can't get everywhere else, even it is executed better.

    You can't go wrong with Spoon and Stable but here are some you should look into- some have already been mentioned:

    Meritage, The Lexington, Bachelor Farmer, Saint Dinette, Corner Table, Travail, Tilia, Ngon Bistro, Butcher and The Boar, and of course Bar La Grassa.  

    Sounds a bit like Austin, so my comparisons would probably Uchi, Barley Swine, Emmer and Rye, etc.  We'll try to go to really high-end places if they are available (went to Alinea while in Chicago last summer), but I don't expect there to be any in Minneapolis.  Steak houses are out since we try to go to more unique places and I can easily get a great steak in Texas or really any major city.

    It was Captain Marvel's logo.  She will be in the next movie and has a solo movie coming out.

    Cool.

    Inside the Soul Stone.

    It's on the internet.  Google is your friend but basically Avengers OG -- alive.  Avengers next generation -- dead.  A few discrepancies. 

    A few people caught it here.

    What makes you think Thanos is inside the Soul Stone?  I'm fully with the theory that those who were snapped out of existence are in the soul stone, but this is the first I've seen someone say Thanos is as well.  Since he has the Reality Stone, he could really be anywhere, including Titan as he believes it would be had he been successful in convincing them to follow his plan.
