No worries, the NBA said they got it wrong, missed two fouls and at least one timeout call. They said "our bad". It's all good now.

Shoot, I forgot the PA primary was yesterday. The place we vote is right next to the vet we use. The dogs had an appointment yesterday, and we got done right before the polls closed. We walked in with about 3 minutes to go and the poll workers looked bummed that we were there. We passed a guy on th...

Re: Shipping Migrants Inland
Let's be honest, from an objective point of view this actually worked. State officials in the border states, upset that the Biden administration was ignoring, if not just outright refuting, that there was a border crisis, took it upon themselves to make the issue more widely known. Media outlets wer...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
My point exactly. And in the broader picture, end tables that fall apart aren’t as cost efficient as ones that hold up for decades. Not to mention the environmental, labor rights, and global trade ramifications. At some point you’re efficiently encouraging non-sustainability and rewarding bad buyin...

Efficient is also in the eye of the beholder, well, the consumer really. If I don't care that the end table falls apart quickly am I really being inefficient? It serves my need.

The ROI for WWII vets might have been 7:1. Do you really think the ROI for today's generations are anywhere near that?

It's not a 1:1 ROI. There are likely other programs with a higher ROI. Does the law of diminishing returns apply? Is part of the problem that people who took out these loans weren't smart consumers?

Did they actually have gallows constructed? I don't remember that. I'm fine calling it an insurrection, no real argument there.
