Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

Are you arguing for campaign finance reform? You? LOL. Look at you thinking that most of this isn't the direct result of the 2002 McCain-Feingold/BRCA. I mean... Silly me, I should have listened to that voice in my head that said it was absurd to think a Republican would care about campaign finance...

.....but you'd have to chop Frank Mason's leg off for him to miss his final year NCAA tournament and last chance at a natty. The doctors would have had to stop him from playing.
None of us know if the doctors stopped him. Or at least influenced his decision heavily.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024

None of us know if the conversation with the physicians went along the lines of “well, you could try to play and maybe you’ll do fine. However, remember that there’s a non-zero chance that you might injure yourself to the extent that you’ll be able to walk fine for the rest of your life but not be a...

I think you misunderstood my post. I’m agreeing with you that this particular initiative is misguided. My only quibble is with characterizing stupid laws as uniquely Californian.

Re: No One Cares Because Nothing Matters Anymore

California, land of restrictions. Its everybody coming for choices, everybody wants more governmental control. It's all bullshit, needs to stop. Why are you opposed to following laws? There’s a reason we have speed limits. Having said that, I think it’s a pretty stupid law to take on. Driving 35 mp...

Could get interesting.
It would not be surprising to see the 2 factions of the GOP start eating each other.
That would be among the best things to happen to this country.

As a fan of IPAs well before the hipsters found it, I think that Coors tastes like what I imagine the urine of someone who has imbibed one too many IPAs would taste like. It’s not like the brewery doesn’t know how to make tasty beer. Just that the flagship beer is geared towards someone who doesn’t ...

Re: Picky eaters

Using salt to clean is a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that! I also have a dedicated spice (coffee) grinder but I have been using a damp paper towel to clean and then leaving it open to air dry overnight.
