  1. There was a time in the not too distant past when conservatives were up in arms about eminent domain and confiscatory zoning regulations.
  2. The scientific name is "condensation trail" or "contrail," as noted above. I suppose you could make an argument that jet exhaust, which forms some of them, has some polluting shit in it, because being a hydrocarbon combustion product, it assuredly does. But, wingtip vortices produce most of them I think, as evidenced by the WWII era photos above. And ain't nothin in those cept dihydrogen monoxide. Longer than you think, Dad! Longer than you think!
  3. csb/Our high school shortstop played with his Dad's glove from the early 60s. His Dad played at aggy and for the Dodgers. It was a lot bigger than that, and very heavily padded. Very flat. Easy transfer, probably hard to scrape a ball off the ground. A lot like this Less of a pocket, because I guess that's an outfielder's glove And before you snide lil whippersnappers chirp up, this was in the 80s. Our 2B played a small HOH Wingtip, but he'd broken it it in so flat it probably played really similar. They were the two best players on our team./csb
  4. Yes. The only way it makes any sense at all is a relatively narrow focus on intercepting the kind of threats we actually might face, including hypersonic missiles. We're already half-decent at that, but I think things had stalled out a bit over the last 20 years or so.
  5. Thumbnail. "Golden Dome" is Trump's masturbatory fantasy of implementing Israel's Iron Dome air defense system, which is geared to protecting a much smaller landmass from aerial attack from low-trajectory artillery and short-range missiles, I.e. weapons fired by neighbors. Attempting to implement it here is foolhardy, both because of the size of our landmass and that we won't be attacked with artillery or short-range missiles.
  6. Send him off to the puzzle factory.
  7. If it was proven to be knowing, then it probably would be. If merely negligent, grounds for some kind of discipline, probably technology CLE and payment of a fine/attorneys fees of opponent. The courts are just starting to figure out what to do here. The bars will be lagging the courts. The more we find out AI is complete dogshit if you're actually concerned with facts and reality, the use of AI at all will be sanctionable.
  8. The bitches must be kicked. -R. Joseph.2008
  9. My recollection is that he used small ball pretty selectively, when we needed to manufacture a run, and also sometimes as a psychological thing with a particular player, e.g. boost them in a slump, give them a dose of humility. I think you are probably right that there was a tad more small ball in the post-season, because runs could be harder to come by.
  10. Yeah, although I'm sure the existing associate had something lined up somewhere else, that's walking away from a mid-six-figures job. And, saying something salty like that on the way out is not free of risk, even at another firm.
  11. And then, actual experts will compare his deal to Obama's and declare it objectively worse. And will be dismissed as deep state or RINOs or some other shit. Pretty in-depth explainer, here. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Joint-Comprehensive-Plan-of-Action Never had that crop up in a search before. Looks like good shit.
  12. Her arm's not going to seize up and fall off like a baseball pitcher's, but throwing her all three games (if necessary) would take a toll.
  13. She also looked quite distressed in the dugout. Understandable, but showing some vulnerability.
  14. Looks like the speedster might could have scored on that.
  15. Yeah, I don't want to give OU any more chances than absolutely necessary.
  16. They're looking pretty good, frankly.
  17. Bullshit Bratz doll.
  18. Purely related to this year's performance? Or did Schloss not want him in the first place?
  19. True enough, but coming in and taking it is still very good stuff.
  20. You'd be a fool not to.
