  1. It’s a bold strategy
  2. Three reasons: 1) Laying hens and broilers (the chickens we eat) are two different populations and live in different conditions. 2) Broilers are younger and less susceptible to respiratory disease 3) Related to both points above, broilers spend less time together and rotate through the system faster, which means they less time in contact with disease vectors.
  3. “Rhett Lashlee?” Sounds made up.
  4. Not watching but Apparently Nico and Dumont are courtside tonight.
  5. True. But now they have no future AND regret
  6. A modest proposal?
  7. I get it, and to me the bolded above is 100% fair game. When Kirk Watson ran against him for AG, he tried to go there but pulled back when Abbott’s team feigned offense. Watson should have doubled down.
  8. Chiefs can still win if Mike Pence has the courage
  9. You you talking about the game, Kendrick Lamar, or Steamboat vs Fireman?
  10. I need that coat
  11. Well I have a laid of leopard print limited edition BluBlockers and I’m a badass, so…
  12. Btw. I don’t mock Abbott as “wheels” because I don't mock handicapped people for their handicap. But there is no humane or laudable behavior that Democrats can engage in that will make Republican voters less likely to vote for Greg Abbott or any Republican. The only thing that works in this environment is opposition and attack. Abbott’s issue with Republicans that Democrats could exploit if they spent five minutes trying to understand the Republican base in Texas is that he’s weak, boring and a pussy. Cornyn too. That’s material ripe to be exploited and I have no idea* why they don’t work with what they are given. * actually I do- because they are myopic, out of touch, privileged losers.
  13. all of this is wrong
  14. I dunno. You have to remember that the concept of Federalism was completely different in 1860, when the united states was primarily understood to be a union of fully sovereign states, not a federal entity with constituent sovereigns until the outcome of the war made it so. There were very few senior career officers at that time and a majority of them had attended West Point around the same time. Like most of them he considered himself a senior officer of the state that had appointed him to West Point. OF COURSE the civil war was about slavery, but for career officers in 1860, the obligation of sworn duty on both sides was NOT a matter of sentimental attachment or loyalty- the senior officers (with few exceptions) broke along lines of where the state legislature landed on the question questions of secession- if you were appointed to West Point by Maryland you stayed. If you were appointed from Alabama you left. Maryland and Delaware were slave states, who fought for the union, until the passage of the 13th amendment. So Longstreet went with the bad guys, reluctantly. That said, he is pretty much the only example of a very senior confederate officer who served reconstruction publicly and enthusiastically after the war. He supported black citizenship and political equality, didn’t indulge the “lost cause,” and served the United States government in multiple posts at much personal and financial risk. At one point after the war he even led a mostly black Louisiana state militia and local police against white supremacists attempting to overthrow the government. So it’s more for his redemptive post war service and example that I think Longstreet is deserving (Lee, Davis, all the rest) where others are not.
  15. Nope, only when people beat their chest about not being on Twitter. Deleting your Twitter account to hurt Elon Musk is like voting for Jill Stein to free Palestine.
  16. *should read “I’m not saying rando progressives…” Bolded for emphasis
  17. pretty much. I guess I was glad they won yesterday. Max Christie is really good and has huge upside. Anthony Davis is a top 10 player. Once Lively and PJ are back, that's the best frontcourt in the league and I think the Mavs are a legit title contender who can go 10 deep if everyone is healthy for the playoffs. I don't really care though. I like these players but this doesn't feel like the organization that I loved for 45 years.
  18. Look, I'm saying saying rando progressives or liberals need to be out arguing their case on twitter. But it's simply foolhardy and counterproductive to cut off their own access.
