  1. I wouldn't worry about. Bipedal, 70+ kg animals are not a mountain lions prey. More likely to get in a car wreck driving out there, or to get shot by your buddy than to get attacked by a mtn lion.
  2. If I were him, and the 4 mil offer was real, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Its the smart move. edit to add: Also he can keep getting that sweet sweet Dr. P money
  3. Our grandkids will be getting vaccines in Mexico and Canada in a few years. It'll work out because they can just get them when we all make our annual pilgrimage across the border to get our cheap drugs and cavities filled.
  4. I don't think I would be as frustrated as I am if the hype surrounding him hadn't been as high as it was.
  5. As usual, the last couple of books aren't as good, but the grand finale is very satisfying, a perfect ending to the series, imo. I also liked the epilogue.
  6. I'm not sure but Bron and Jaime's Excellent Adventure in Dorne wasn't in the last season, was it? Because that was worse than the Holocaust.
  7. I predict we end up playing the Ducks. I don't think we beat the Ducks. If the Ducks win, I will be rooting for them over Georgia, ND, or (if there is no God and they make it that far) Pedo.
  8. Genuine question, no snark, what energy does Ontario export to the US?
  9. I'm guessing stadiums too small for all the hoopla. eidt: google AI tells me "The Army-Navy football game is almost always played at a neutral site because neither the Army nor Navy's home stadiums are large enough to accommodate the massive crowds that attend this historic rivalry game; neither academy has an on-campus stadium with the capacity to handle the large number of fans, cadets, and former service members who want to watch the matchup."
  10. I'll watch it. They don't play at their home stadiums?
  11. My ABIA story of incompetence, although its probably more of a combination of British Airways and ABIA incompetence. Flew back from London to ABIA two summers ago. After boarding in London, had like an hour delay taking off because there was "a gasket hanging out of the engine, and we need to find mechanics to check it out." Landed in ABIA and had to wait for another hour because "a plane was blocking our access to the terminal." Then while waiting for luggage, the conveyor jams up. One bag would come down every 10 minutes or so. "Sorry for the delay, but there is a logjam in the luggage conveyor. We're working to get that cleared out for you." That took over another hour. Over three hours total in delays for three different reasons.
  12. It should cost what the free market dictates it costs. Except we don't have a free market. Which means it would be more expensive, so I guess we agree.
  13. lol "student athlete." Div 1 or FBS football players stopped being student athletes a long time ago. NIL just makes it official. He makes millions playing football, which means he's a professional athlete, which means open season on the internet or other media.
  14. Love him or hate him or meh, he stopped being a kid when he started cashing those NIL and Dr. Pepper checks.
  15. Hey moron, vetting presidential cabinet picks IS your job. Its right there in the constitution.
  16. Sounds familiar. Same fault that caused Mt. St. Helens eruption, iirc. Was that really a "big one"? Or just a medium to smallish one that destroyed a lot because nobody knew or cared how to build in an earthquake zone?
  17. I think the "Big One" will hit farther north. Washington or thereabouts. California will always just be relatively small ones. At least that's what I remember from my one geology class so many years ago.
  18. Bolded is already happening. They are calling it a "buffer zone".
  19. Why do Orca's wear salmon on their heads? Hey, if I could wear a salmon on my head, I'd never leave the house!
  20. I don't think Americans have experienced a dictatorship in recent enough history to be bothered to protest/strike.
  21. Two passive aggressive people in a death match.
  22. Its all good. I didn't see it as an attack, and even if it was, its just the internet. Politics will come up because she will gripe about her SS getting cut, and I'll say "well the republicans you voted for ran on that." And she'll say "but they should have only cut it for people who don't need it." and I'll say "Do you really need it? Are you poor? (she's not)" and she'll say "But I paid into it, I should get it back" and I'll say "So did rich people. Did they say they were only going to cut rich people's SS?" and around we go.
