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. :coffee:

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.

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

Not to mention the environmental, labor rights, and global trade ramifications. At some point you’re efficiently encouraging non-sustainability and rewarding bad buyin...
