  1. What do you call a cow sitting on the floor? Ground beef.
  2. The neighborhood around Fulton doesn't feel lived in, mostly because it barely has been. That area didn't get built up until 3 or 4 years after the ballpark opened. Good choices with Matt's and Bar La Grassa. I really like the BlackStack space. Agree with your opinions of Betty Dangers and Psycho Suzi's. I live here in MSP and don't go to either place with any regularity.
  3. When I went through Kennedy in January on Delta, TSA PreCheck got you nowhere in the T4 security line. Everyone went through the long queue maze. We had a 2 1/2 hour transfer off an international flight. Customs was a breeze, but TSA was the longest part of the transfer. Caveat: This was around 6 PM, so all of Delta's redeyes to Europe were going out in the following two hours, plus a bunch of other Europe-bound overnight flights. YMMV.
  4. This Court seems to think that Lochner v. New York was never overturned.
  5. You're also forgetting to add the right to legal counsel if you cannot afford an attorney. Gideon v. Wainwright was all 14th Amendment.
  6. The saddest part is that the voters of Minneapolis decided to keep MPD in place, and not only elect Mayor Jacob Frey to another term, but convert city government to a strong-mayor from a weak-mayor system. I guess the Minneapolis taxpayer is okay with 8-figure excessive force settlements.
  7. Isn't attempting to bring a firearm through security an automatic arrest and federal felony?
  8. I don't see how to get that coordinated. For comparison's sake, more people ride the New York subway on a COVID weekday than the highest daily throughput through every TSA checkpoint in the USA since 1/1/2019 (2.8 million and change). And we all know how much of a goat rodeo TSA is under the best of conditions. Also, the Mrs. and I will be in NYC in mid-June. We've got tickets for the Yankees and a couple of shows. Still deciding where to stay, either Midtown or over by Madison Square Garden.
  9. https://www.dw.com/en/france-le-pen-faces-embezzlement-claims-ahead-of-election-runoff/a-61499951 France: Le Pen faces embezzlement claims ahead of election runoff French prosecutors are looking into a EU report which accuses far-right candidate Marine Le Pen and her associates of embezzling over €600,000.
  10. The Bears bought Arlington Park Racetrack last fall, so it's only a matter of time before the Bears are playing in the 'burbs. Arrowhead, Lambeau, and Joe Robbie/Hard Rock have had extensive renovations in the last 10 years, so none of those are going anywhere anytime soon. Lambeau may as well be a new stadium. No idea on the future of the Superdome. The next NFL stadium problem is Washington. FedEx Field is the perfect embodiment of Daniel Snyder's ownership (large chunks missing upstairs, full of untreated sewage, and rotting from the foundation).
  11. It's 15,000 nms from Vladivostok to the entrance of the Dardanelles, presuming that they have to go around the Cape of Good Hope. We won't be finding out anytime soon if the Turks intend to block the Russian Navy.
  12. The Moral Majority is neither, nor has it ever been.
  13. IMHO the Chinese are bargain hunting. Right now they're the only ones buying Putin's bullshit, and they'll dictate terms if and when they get there.
  14. Matthew's Gospel is also quite clear that not even Jesus knows when the end is. Only the Father.
  15. The NFC's QB lineup is also dogshit. Rodgers, Stafford, then what? Good luck with 6 games a year against Mahomes, Hebert, and whoever other two top-shelf AFC QBs the schedule send your way.
  16. I look forward to seeing 4 more years of beating up a shitty NFC North and losing the WC game at home.
  17. Not being familiar with conditions in the former Soviet Union, do people still have shortwave radios? It's good that the Beeb and RFE is back on there, but can anyone hear what they're pumping out?
  18. I'm surprised that they weren't met with a hail of Molotov cocktails.
