  1. Getting into policy details is risky - especially if both parties aren't sharing details.  Any policy includes weighing a benefit against a cost.  The minute she shares details, the "airwaves" will be flooded with the trumplicans amplifying the cost and ignoring the benefit.  The difference, to me, is that I believe she has policy plans, and she is being smart about when & how to share those details.  I don't believe he has a plan (I also don't believe he'll have one "in two weeks" lol).

    He got off too easy on killing the copartisan border bill.  He got off too easy on long disproven claims of winning the election.  He got off too easy on his plan to pardon Jan 6 insurrectionists.

    I agree with others that maybe she had to chose her shots and not unload everything at once.  She skirted around saying this outright, but if he really cared about this country, you'd see a lot different behavior.  All his actions reinforce the fact that he only cares about himself.

    Overall, I think she did amazing.  It's nearly impossible to win a debate with an opponent who isn't constrained by facts & reality, but she managed to do it.

    Newey to AM

    Fuck. I’ve been of the opinion that AM would continue to be a joke as long as junior was driving…but daddy may be about to prove that money can fix anything.

    That app is what all other campaign apps should be judged by - James Cosmo kills it and the fight music is epic. You're in for some memorable moments, and some are just a few chapters away!

    Chapter 2 was great!

    while playing, we thought we were missing the “curative” cards, but an internet search this morning says they look just like the “injury” cards, so maybe they were hidden in with those. I’ll have to check when I get home. 
    Only complaint is the setup and cleanup takes quite a bit of time. I’ve got to get this game table done.

    Hey has anyone ever been to Cars and Coffee at COTA?  My son is 14 now and starting to get into cars.  There are a couple of nearby car meets I've taken him to, but I'm curious if COTA gets more cars?  And also, since it's free and unregulated parking, does it become a total cluster?  Or are there just not enough spectators to make it bad?

     

    Agreed with everything posted above.  Earlier tends to be better, as folks start to disappear as it heats up.

    For exotics: just about any event/show at Petrol Lounge is amazing.

    For us, COTA is a bit far for a car show, so we tend to check out Pistons in the Park...good size show as well.

  5. Spoiler

    First encounter set up. Spoilered in case anyone expects to play and wants to maintain the mystery. 
     

    A lot of set up time. (Definitely need to get that gaming table done). Thankfully, it looks like our second-hand all-in version had some of the prep work done and nothing was missing.  The app adds greatly to the atmosphere.  
     

    Chapter one story and encounter finished, with 2 of our 4 characters KO’d at the end. Took a good 4 hours, but well spent. Had to refer to the rules book pretty often, so I’d expect us to get better and not need that quite so much. Really liked the encounter portion…the story was “good” I’d say. 
     

    Hope to get into chapter 2 this weekend.

    I liked how at the beginning of the game they showed Aggie as "#1 Toughest place to play" and it was based on EA Sports rankings.

    lol, yeah, I saw that as well.  And they all agreed that it was such a 'tough environment', but they couldn't back it up with any stats...just the ranking from a video game...

    Light reading before ND stomps 12 mudholes in dat ass

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/41015979/texas-notre-dame-12th-man-towel-heist-tim-brown-1988-cotton-bowl

    It's actually really well written and I like it for the ND history lesson, at least.

    I love that this thing they are so proud of actually had little/no impact on the outcome of the game, and was kind of petty, honestly.  The only surprise for me is that they won.

    Welcome back Felix!

    No kidding - welcome back!  lol

    Assume Madueke will be sold now - can't keep that kind of performance around the club for long...

     

    <edit> Also, he must have given some Ted Lasso-like halftime speech...

  9. Looks like we're a few years behind the rest of you, but we had a chance to play Scythe on our family vacation at the end of June.  Was able to pick up a barely-used set with some expansions last week, and we've had several game nights since.  Good stuff.

     

    Wife ixnayed the "lets build a game table over the summer" idea, as too much of a non-family time-suck while the kids were all home, so I'm just now getting started on that.  Actually picked up a (free) 3.5X6 desk/table that I'll be using as the base.

  10. As an RB fan, was obviously hoping for Adrian to stay, but once it was clear he was out the door, I thought it would be great for him to end up at Williams.  I'd love to see that team get back to the top for a bit.  Sainz + Vowles + Newey might have really made things interesting.

     

    AM is screwed as long as Daddy lets it be junior's playground, IMO.
